Sittin’ in the Park

Posted on July 23, 2018 by Susannah Bianchi

Best Line Of The Week

Posted on April 7, 2017 by Susannah Bianchi

I’m at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s American Wing, remembering what it was like before they installed a coffee bar. I used to come here to write, when it was a sanctuary…quiet, peaceful. Now it’s Epcot with statuary, surly waiters … Continue reading →

Posted on September 14, 2015 by Susannah Bianchi

I pride myself in being a nice, polite person. That’s not to say I don’t have a snide side. I do…inherited from my dear, sweet, dead mother. Like a boxer who needs to guard his fists, I keep my sass … Continue reading →

Posted on June 5, 2015 by Susannah Bianchi

Camille and I are sitting in front of the Met checking out the cheese, as she likes to call it. We’re in little dresses and flats, cardigans tossed over our shoulders…dressed for, we’re not quite sure what we’re doing yet. … Continue reading →

Simple Pleasures

Posted on December 20, 2013 by Susannah Bianchi

I used to have a much bigger life, first as a decently paid model then as the girlfriend of a well-to-do man. I traveled, attended parties and charity events along with eating out every night. It explains why I never … Continue reading →

A Broken Wing

Posted on November 29, 2012 by Susannah Bianchi

I just came back from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, a favorite place of mine. I went mid morning so it was already packed with tourists determined to see everything in one day. I don’t blame them. Where I have … Continue reading →

Love: Add Water and Stir

Posted on August 24, 2012 by Susannah Bianchi

I was sitting on the Metropolitan Museum’s steps having myself a good muse. It’s a great place for a little late night reflection since the city slows down just enough to give you space to think. I was accompanied by … Continue reading →

Posted on June 9, 2012 by Susannah Bianchi

Posted on May 17, 2012 by Susannah Bianchi

This won’t mean much to most of you but for some it might. Before I plunge into a cloud of criticism, I want to say how much this historic, awe-inspiring place has meant to me. I’ve spent some of my … Continue reading →
