Scene: A crowded 6th train. A woman pushes her way into the car and into me as if I don’t have any body mass. When I protest her actions, she says, “There’s no need to be rude. All you have to do is move.” I give her “the look” and respond, “I’m always rude to inconsiderate people!”
Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.--Pablo Picasso
The most unsanitary part of your computer is your mouse pad! When was the last time you bought a new one? Something to think about.
Several years ago I worked with a personal shopper who introduced me to the most incredible consignment shops in the city. I’ve bought Armani suits for $125, a brand new Gucci bag for $100, and beautiful cashmere sweaters for $50! Check out my faves: Encore (Madison Avenue, between 84th and 85th Streets) and Designer Resale (81st Street , between 1st and 2nd Avenues).
