Two older, mature, ladies are sitting next to me. Both with iPhones. They’re laughing hysterically and looking at a video of a 3 year old breakdancing. I’m looking at them. They notice, look back at me complacently and say, loudly, “have you seen this!! It’s from Collegehumor.com!” I hadn’t. We talked and shared in the…

Mary Katrantzou Spring/Summer 2011
My new job has done much to open me up to the wonderland that is interior design. My new job… that I am so proud of that has finally turned me into both a proper member of the labor market and a proper Big Girl. But that’s all besides the point. I just want to…
Making up for lost time!: From Zurich with Love
One more! I had a layover in Zurich… I alerted as many people as I possibly could of this because, well, it was torture. I know. “Shut up. You have no idea how stupid you sound when you complain about being stuck in Zurich, meanwhile it’s been snowing snowstorm after snowstorm back home and we…
I have returned! My myth involved lots of food and I am now fatter.
Blogs are completely self serving and self indulgent. I know that, you know that. I have, you see, substituted my blog indulgence for a variety of delicious exotic indulgences during my time away. I ate lots of baklava, had lots of coffee and frilly caffeinated drinks at cafes with plushy couchey seating outdoors, I drowned…
Commencement: Live Your Myth in Greece!
That’s their travel slogan. Ha. Parting from the ‘Merica is always bittersweet. On the one hand, I like to get away, recharge my batteries, take a stroll on the greener grassy knoll… you know. On the other, I know that when I come back I will hate everything for at least a week. Everything. Returning,…
Trip to the Institute of Contemporary Art
The ICA is really beautiful. Modern Art isn’t my favorite. My threshold for abstractionism is set at a very specific level. Anything beyond that and I just gloss over, feeling violated and uneasy, whispering cuss words under my breath. Also one piece was literally a sofa and a steel chair placed upside-down. Deep. I found…
Suit Suit: Inspiration from Yves Saint Laurent. It’s Le Smoking!
The Economist did an article -or piece– (Haha) on the suit. Earlier this month, the suit reached its 150th anniversary. The suit! So official, serious, foreboding. It is an integral part of the professional mask so many ladies and gentlemen wear. It is something I may be needing more of on account of my fancy…
Winter Solstice
I’m so glad the days are getting longer now. Thinking about daylight shrinking just makes me so sad. This is what 2 O’clock looks like before a blizzard A.K.A. when death is upon us. Think “dismal wonderland”. Also I lost all sensation in my fingertips as I was slaving away taking pictures for the public….
The Swan Queens
They are so beautiful. I decided to go on an expedition and, on my way, I saw these. Swans! I’ll never understand how they don’t freeze to death in these icy waters. I don’t like to anthropomorphize animals because I believe that even swans can beat me to a pulp… but… they do look so…
