monday monologue - fuzzy brain
fuzzy brain this morning
Oscar after effect
of
staying up past 10 pm
gawd
I am getting old
didnt wager any bets
and
am not surprised
although I am disappointed
there were no major WTF moments
aside from
Ms Lopez's
maybe
maybe not
'costume' malfunction
I say the vee was a wee bit too deep
did you catch Angelina's slit to the hip strut?
Seriously?
this fashionista's take on best and worst dressed
Viola Davis
wore some fabulous gowns
to the other award shows
her green Vera Wang was pretty atop
but
seemed to be ripped and tattered
on the bottom
I know this is a style
its just not a style
I find
red carpet
'worthy'
if there is such a thing
AND
I thought that
Melissa McCarthy might have lunch with Octavia Spencer
to get her stylist's name
because
while
.. well ...
not so amazing
Enough of this fashionista stuff
how about the weather in NYC this weekend?
Talk about being
blown away
I walked down to
Columbus Circle
Saturday
to meet
my handsome hunky Larry
and
his better half Kevin
for
lunch at Robert
in the Museum of Art & Design
truly one of the best lunch
or
dinner restaurants
with a view you cannot
beat
Kevin takes many snaps of the UWS
Columbus poses as if he's on the red carpet
food
that competes with the view
service that is superb
I ordered a salad when it arrived it was 70% frissee
I detest frissee
detest it
I told the waiter how much I hated it
asked to replace it
I apologized
he refused my apology
bringing me a different salad
it was a leisurely lunch
lots of catching up with the guys
lots of photo taking
lots of tech talk
and
we made a new friend
a charming woman sitting just next to us
asked
'was this the grey haired seating area?'
I told her if so
we were in the wrong place as we
(Larry, Kev and I)
all have
SILVER hair
as did she.

New Yorkers are not shy
It was a fun lunch
after the guys headed downtown
I walked uptown
it was a bracing walk with the wind blowing
when I got home
a package from Los Angeles was waiting
under the rugged outer wrap
this
beautifully
wrapped
box
a belated (due to the USPS) birthday gift
inside
this exquisite antique
(a little older than I am )
hand painted
cup and saucer
thank you
my dear F
I adore it
and
you
Sunday
I did my weekly beautification at
after that a quick trip to Zabars
then home to hang with Toonman
the cats
and
some catch up on
Luck
which we record off HBO
if you've not seen it give it a shot
its some of the best writing
characters
acting
I hope you had fun tagging along
let me know
what you thought
about
the Oscars
the fashion
all
of these pictures
were taken
with my iPhone
some using the Hipstamatic app
none are signed
