I saw her strolling, her golden blonde hair picking up the late afternoon light. She had an ice cream cone in one hand, a Chanel purse, the other. I remember trips to the Met, sated in Renoirs, Lunch of the … Continue reading →

  I’m reminded often, how lucky I am to live so close to Central Park. Even though I run through it most days, I tend to forget to visit more casually.  Today, after it rained all night, I threw on chinos … Continue reading →

Four-Letter Word Starting With F

Posted on September 14, 2015 by

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 →

Saturday Night Chicks

Posted on June 5, 2015 by

Simple Pleasures

Posted on December 20, 2013 by

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

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

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 →
