My stylist in San Francisco recently opened his own salon called Chateau 1508 – it’s a gorgeous small jewel box of a salon overlooking Union Square. Not only is he a great stylist but he also paints and he sent me this news today: Im having a major shift in my art world…..I just sold a very precious piece for 5k yesterday and a big sale the week before. A collector bought this piece, she…
A friend of mine in Marin County (CA) plans to put on his gravestone “I had a nice day” and he’ll do it knowing him.
I talked mom into seeing Maria uptown for her hair and told her she needed to get rid of that reddish color that Henry gave her because it didn’t suit her at all. She is a blonde – always has been. You either are or you are not. She called today to say she feels like her old self again. Ah, blonde again. In a magazine recently that did a survey of the hottest men…
Today was Monday in every sense of the word – overcast and rainy this morning so coudn’t walk the Bean. Many false starts to a day that was supposed to be about checking off “to do” items with work. A sleight of hand yet again by the barrista who gave me caf instead of decaf, which had the effect of making me circle the outer limits of the galaxy. At the LaLa, K slipped and…
My web designer just updated the blog – one friend writes that it scares him. What do you think?
S and I went to see this comedian about ten years ago who was so funny, our cheeks and neck and belly were aching when we left the auditorium. He was deemed the next Richard Pryor or Eddie Murphy – only he was white and his name is Rick Reynolds. After that he was supposed to be in a television sitcom but it got cancelled and we never heard of him again. He had this…
On Saturday took the J-man to Open Season at the Prytania Theater – darling boy, he still calls me Ocho. Part way into the movie he said, “I don’t like that bear.” I was kind of like, uh oh, so I said, “honey it’s all about the bear. The bear lives in a house but he is supposed to live in the forest and he is conflicted about where his home is. This is all…
Saturday night was going to head to Covington with L to go to the art walk that they have there once a month but as he was making dinner I said I was happy he put Better than Ezra on the CD he made me because I hadn’t listened to them before and was curious – presto chango – we were off to hear Better than Ezra at House of Blues where L was able…
Last night, G called to come meet her and E for a cocktail at Wit’s End. E is in town to rehearse for a touring gig that is starting up – playing with some of the greatest musicians New Orleans has to offer right now. Our conversation turned to the many pieces of ourselves that outsiders pick up on that we have no idea we wear on our sleeves. For him, it was a remnant…
Went to the game with L, man of mystery, to watch another great game by the Saints. Again, the energy level of the fans, the thunderous noise, the joie de vivre made for an exuberant occasion. I was coming out of the restroom and the coonass tapped me on the shoulder and said he had run out to pee too because he was having a heart attack since the Saints were tied 24 to 24…
