Things I know for sure

• The Weight Watchers orange Hungry guy is adorable and I would invite him in if he brought me a donut.

• When mixed in milk, Carnation Instant Breakfast turns turquoise if you let it sit out for two days or more.

• If my boyfriend smelled like fresh, ripe watermelon, I might love him more.

Quote of yesterday…

"Who's been eating my porridge?" - Adrien, bringer of joy (the digital tech) : commenting on how every night when you come back to your room at the Mandarin Oriental Miami the TV is on, your stuff is moved around and the lights are all on. 

Quote of the day…

"That tasted like salty fart." - Ashley : on set in Miami talking about stinky cheese. 

Thought of the day…

To drink your own urine in space is to dance the impossible dance.  - Group Effort : Shauna, Erin, Steve & I on set in Miami - still harping on the pee drinking model. 

Quote of the day…

"You look fantastic! Have you been drinking your own urine?" - Erin : my favorite production assistant. 

Explanation: The model on a previous photo shoot announced to everyone on set that she drank her own urine every morning. We have reincarnated this joke in so many ways, but this is by far my favorite! 

Quote of the day

"What time is it? It feels like tomorrow." - Steve : said in sexy Australian accent on set at a photo shoot. 

Something to think about…

Must have something to do with the economy…

Rain rain go away…

… come again another day!

It's been raining a lot lately in New York, which I've learned can be quite hazardous for the normal, everyday walk down the street. Trying to make it to the subway without loosing an eye or poking someone to death is more difficult then it was to get into college, I swear! It's like a sea of deadly metal spikes pushing their way down any given avenue, and New Yorkers just don't seem to care. I at least dive out of the way to avoid impaling some small child or tall man, but others, nope! They just walk along as if they don't have a deadly weapon floating in wait above their heads, ready to stab any unsuspecting sidewalk mate. It's frightening actually!

Having not often used an umbrella in my former "run from house to car and from car to building" kind of life, the concept of investing in a good rain shield has never occurred to me. But today, the third day of having my cheap, borrowed from my sister umbrella turned inside out by the wind, it dawned on me that maybe, just maybe, a good umbrella in New York is just an important in a heated loft (another lesson I'm learning the hard way!)

So tonight as my wool jacket sits soaking and smelling in the corner of my room, I decided to search online for something cuter than the rest of the depressing black canopies that haunt the streets of this city. I struck gold when I wandered upon Umbrellas.net! I'm totally loving their adorable designs and I just thought I would share the ones I'm drooling over! I just can't decide! Go check them out, they are so darn cute!

Hm...

I have begun to wonder if I might in fact be a Manhattanite versus a Brooklyn girl? Five more leased months to figure it out. 

Sexy new discovery

One of my five roommates, JS, got back from Los Angeles the other day after assisting on a very cool photo shoot for the latest Tim Burton film that's in the works. The moment he walked through our big, beautiful steel door, I ambushed him and dragged him off to the bar where one of our other roommates, AC, works. I had been in the house for days and really needed to get out, so I forced him to go with me :) That's the beauty of living with five other people, there's always someone around! 

So JC and I went off to Hugs on North 6th in Williamsburg, where he proceeded to pull out his iPhone so we could geek out together. I was not prepared for what would follow! Just about the sexiest thing any iPhone nerd could dream of. A beautiful solid wood case for the beloved Apple masterpiece. Seriously, solid wood! It's stunning and I cannot help but dream of the day when I can afford to incase my little buddy in a oak wood cozy! I cannot justify the purchase at this time, but you can bet it's been filed away in my brain and my bookmarks and I will venture back to Miniot.com where the lovelies live as soon as humanly possible.
