blogged in Mexico

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.

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

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!
