i must record this for posterity

My first bona-fide celebrity sighting since I’ve lived in New York! Claire Danes, who came into the restaurant where I was eating dinner with friends, down in SoHo, and sat at the next table with several friends. She looked exactly as you’d expect her to, if you’ve seen a photo of her in the last few years. Her hair was long and kinda scraggly. No photo; there was no way to do it subtly.

now, bursting with culture!

radical lace

This past Eye Candy Friday, for example, I showed just a few shots I snapped at the MoMA. I went to the MoMA three times in two weeks (twice on lunch-hour “dates” with a friend, once with Jaax), and I now feel I know the museum like the back of my hand. It was fun taking photos of new favorites as well as seeing old standards. I also went to the ballet, an exhibit of crazy lace, and celebrated Chinese New Year—oh, New York!

it’s my holiday!

valentines 07!

Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday, after Thanksgiving (with my birthday attached, of course). In the past, I’ve had a Valentine Cookie decorating party. This year would have been the 7th annual, but with my small apartment and ultrabusy lifestyle, I couldn’t make it work. So sad! So I’m going to share some favorite shots from the past right now.
