blogged in Mexico

[ellenkushner]

So we're walking home from the subway on Broadway (after the SFWA Reception, a.k.a. "Mill'n'Swill," at Planet Hollywood in Times Square - say no more! followed by drinks & many refills of the bread basket at Cafe Un, Deux, Trois), and cute young woman with a leather headband (whom I recognized from the subway platform at Times Sq.) runs up alongside us, saying, "Excuse me, madam, excuse me - Could I take your picture for my Fashion Blog?" So we stand on the sidewalk in front of Gourmet Garage and get our photos took, me in my long red boiled wool coat from Paris, Delia in her black velvet, arm in arm . . . . She asked if we were from here, and said she was from Mexico City. And ran off to join her friends.

I'll never find that fashion blog. But I'll cherish the moment.

Apparently fashion blogging is very big in Mexico City right now!

Maybe your photo will turn up on one of those in a few weeks.

You should have been there to share the spotlight. You looked great last night.

[rosefox]

Aw, thank you! Quite the compliment from one of the SFWA fashionistas!

This is all so bizarre & hilarious because I was the one everyone made fun of in highschool for looking weird (and not in a good way).... O tempora! O mores! O NYC!

I wish I could see you. I bet you were stunning.

[jennyblackford.livejournal.com]

You two are so damn' cool.

That is so nifty! Now, we must institute a search for the blog - mwahahaha!

[ellen-kushner.livejournal.com]

I thought of that - but we didn't give our names. Although maybe rosefox's exahaustive list above will prove fruitful....

[matociquala.livejournal.com]

Aww. Well, you are the most stunning couple I Know!

[ellen-kushner.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we always dress to Go Out - but my dread secret is that the rest of the time I shlump around the house in disreputable gym clothes. (Shhh! Don't tell!)

How cool is that!

In a secret ploy to track down the curandero, who had hidden within the form of a cute young girl and stolen her and Delia's souls with a nefarious device, Ellen deploys her minions.

"Go forth my people, and search the Blogosphere!"

Good one! Sometimes, though, I feel I have too *much* soul - I need a little "soul-letting" from time to time, as the surgeons used to let blood. So I don't mind having my picture took.

What a neat image. :-)

[oracne.livejournal.com]

Well, you both ARE very stylish.

But of course the two of you were absolutely stunning.
