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 

Octavia looked amazing

while 

Melissa looked

 .. 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.

taken by the Maitre d'

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 

Polished 

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
