Christmas Day Shenanigans.

It was a very Merry Christmas. The rents made their way up from the Bunny Hole around 9 and we opened presents. We decided to get cleaned up and then head out into the City. We had late afternoon lunch reservations at Mr. K's for Chinese. Gary was hoping to get a full Peking duck and a little "Fa ra ra ra ra, ra ra ra ra" from the staff. But on the way we took a stroll through Times Square and wow was it nutty. Don't these people hang out with their families on Christmas? At home?

While Mr. K's was delightful and yummy and apparently quite famous, it was a total fail on the whole duck or the song. Eh C'est la Vie. Maybe next year. Off we went to explore the city some more. First stop Grand Central. What a beauty. We tried to hang out at the Campbell Apartment but being Christmas day it was closed. Boooo.

On to the next adventure. I wanted to stroll and check out the shop windows because I thought for sure 5th Avenue would be quiet since all the stores were closed for Christmas. I could not have been more WRONG. It was a MAD HOUSE. I shot a couple things and then almost had a meltdown so we headed back to the Village.

But before we left we had Chestnuts! They were yummy and we made up a song about them......

"Chestnuts roasting on Street Cart Fire
Jack Fraud nipping at your Puuuuuurse"

Yeah that's about as far as we got but we thought it was hysterical.

{You've come a long way, Baby}

I have been living in the Rabbit Hole for almost 2 years now. It has become my safe haven from the storm of this city. Don't get me wrong I love this city but it is nice to have a little sanctuary to retreat to when all the hustle and bustle starts to overwhelm. I love sitting at my window every morning to write and watch the parade of neighbors stroll by. I have come to "know" some of them, not personally but just by virtue of seeing them on a regular basis. But that will be another post. This is all about the Rabbit Hole. As I come up on the 2 year mark, I took a look back at where it all started. I remember walking into the apartment with my mom and my broker and falling immediately in love with this little space. I am so thankful we were able to pull off the painstaking process of actually getting the apartment. It has been such a great place to live. And there have been some changes. So here are the before and afters of the last two years. It was so bare and crisp...

Henri Bendel

I am in Love. It happened quite suddenly although I met him years ago. We rekindled our affair on Fashion's night out a few months back and now it's official, I am head over heels. :) His name is Henri and I love everything about him. I want to be a Bendel Girl for the rest of my life. All illustrations by Izak Zenou who does Incredibly beautiful work. Oh to be THAT talented....swoon.

Gray hair coming in HOT

Has anyone else had to come to grips with how much gray hair you actually have in the last few weeks? NO? Just me? Ok. I needed some color before we even went into shelter in place but a move, a job in Boston and then a complete shutdown of all no-essential services (Um that depends on who you ask) thwarted my getting into Kay’s chair in FiDI. SO here I am, easily 3 weeks past due and oh hey look at all those grays! The funny thing is it depends on where I part my hair as to how much presents itself. I have a lovely little patch right on the top of my head just past my hairline. So there will be no trendy mid parts in my foreseeable future. But if I go just a bit off center to the left you can barely see them. Although I am getting more and more around the temple, ear area so there is that. I don’t even so much mind my grays. Yes it signals that I am not “young” anymore, well not in the 20-30 years young, but it doesn’t make me feel OLD. I like how I feel when I’v...
