After living in white walled apartments and houses, I’ve been messing around with colored walls for the LaLa and right now the room that is holding my fascination is the back guest bedroom where P is going to do a color wash of two different color reds with a luminous undercoat. I had M paint the ceiling yellow in an eggshell finish which gives it a little shine. It is possibly the darkest room in…
When that song Louisiana 1927 was written, it was harkening back to a time when the city of New Orleans almost washed away in a storm – flash forward 100 years later and what will be the songs that capture 2005 when yet another storm almost washed her away. Today it rained like it was 1927 or 2005 – a hard pummelling rain that flooded the streets and left everything not refreshed, but drenched, water…
Last night after Swirl, I went with R back to her apartment to eat turkey pot pie and sit on the floor and watch Nip Tuck. We chatted a little bit about menz and one in particular who has had her heart in his hands. She had bought some candles – one for serenity, one for love, and I forget the third – but we talked about how it is hard to discern our feelings…
The stock is up 5% in after hour trading because Panama went live today – but they did lower guidance for 4Q, something a client told me might happen because they couldn’t meet their full year numbers. I’ll take 5% rather than a poke in the eye with a red hot poker. I reached the height of multitasking today and thought I wasn’t going to break through to the other side when O, my co-pilot,…
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…
