8.1. the red tailed hawk of east williamsburg/bushwick...he makes my days more mystical when he comes into view..really a beautiful sight in the doldrums of this long bitter cold winter...i have yet to name him-any+all suggestions welcome.
2. my newly acquired 3D galloping horse picture, of which i am terribly fond...accented by the prism effects of a new favorite feng shui addition to our window. (i got this awesome gadget from my sister+her hubby for christmas-so rad!)
3. my second dreamcatcher..it's not quite done but it's getting there...more fabric+feathers+charms will be added shortly.
4.susan's epic lace+doily delights
5.watermelon+prickly pear juice lunch at la superior with lady jill
6.another night at maracuja's
7.cedez got scolded for this frozen weiner by a waitress at hotel delmano..she thought it was absurdly rude while we found it utterly hilarious! (not sure we'll ever outgrow this juvenile winter tradition)
8.galpals at claire's birthday party+a touch of rodarte for targay.

made to measure

claire is making me a high waisted pencil skirt for summer!! in gigham or floral or something else totally radical.
[we did our fitting on s.7th ave, much to the intrigue of our fellow tapas diners at ostia.]

ladies of little branch

love to love me somelittle branch. a truely great, albeit pricey speakeasy nook, perfect for girl chatter and secretive anecdotes.

it may be the best place in new york city to be in a public space with the utmost impression of privacy. the booths are quite high, so as to obscure eye contact or even the slightest invasion of others. downers are the $12 price tag for the most delectable cocktails, so it's all but impossible to have just one..unless of course, you're mamie and have a body skimming zac posen on the ready for monday and two shows manana.
claire and i paid our check a total of 4 times before leaving after last call..it's a delicious stage indeed for a range of discussions from future fantasies, commitment complications, boy blunders, timeline teetering and career fears.
