dubbed the "signature show" on espn classic! whoohoo! i caught a few mins of cheap seats last night and just about fell out of my chair laughing. their double johnny carson imitation was too much.
did you know? that sacco shoes got their start during the subway strike 25 years ago? fred couldn't stand the sight of all those women walking around in reeboks and white ankle socks with their suits, so he created some comfy but fashionable walking shoes that would make it across the brooklyn bridge!
miss meghan whooped it up this weekend. gwen on thursday, LA on friday, wedding saturday and topher grace on sunday. more deets to come my pretties.
is going to see ciara and gwen tonight at the garden? how did you know it's me! will be fun times had by all! i will give you the scoop on what amazing shoes gwen is sure to be sporting.
then tomorrow leaving on a jet plane to LA for leslie and speed's nuptials. leslie is wearing an orange dress and i can't wait to see her wedding shoes!
i am wearing a very large crinoline underneath my navy blue vintage italian dress and my jimmy choos for the ceremony.
where i chatted with all the publishing ladies. elizabeth, felicia, rachel, leigh, & katy & so many other fun female writers rockin it out. friday brought more cornelia, then hangign with alison castillo, whose book, the score, is positioned to be the next he's just not that into you, except it's like are you that into him, really? that comes out jan 3rd-can't wait to read it.
saturday hit cornelia for day number three, and had lucnhie with lora and jj, andrea and her man, and ellen and michael. then saw shopgirl with sarah. must note: if you see this movie, it is way too much marni for me. shoes were great though. amazing pair of white 1960's pumps that made an appearance in more than one scene.
such a fun filled week/end. i decided to let you marinate in the wonder of shoe therapy all week last eek but now I am back with many fun tidbits.
first, anne waldman wore some fierce red patent leather boots for her reading of "sleeping with women" at kenneth koch's collected poems and fiction party last wednesday. she really rocke dit out i must say. is at next to alex katz who did the art on both the covers of the books. he was very sweet as were all of the fab readers.
thursday i headed to cornelia, where i signed books and met the most fabulous fun people. jackie and andrea and ying li. ellen was floating about making sure everyone had enough champagne and hot chocolate, and michael was creating amazing displays and we generally all had a fun time trying on the designs of andrea and jackie and reading sections of my book to jackie's grandma who is a sneaker girl!
checked out the brooklyn handknit sample sale after having lunch with the girls at mary's fab new place in greenpointe (best quiche ever!), andrea found me an amazing brown scarf with delicate flower embroidery, but otherwise it was just a room full of giant ponchos. (the manolo would say, yuck!). then we headed to this new place. more french-only designers. even tho the website is highly annoying, the store is quite cute. dresses from designers like maje make it feel like an alternative to the pricier vanessa bruno. a lot of interesting knitwear too. VERy far down sixth, best to hit during the day as one more half block and you are in that wierd no man's land that feels like old billyburg.
shoes AND hats, my dearies! we all know eugenia has such fun, whimsical yet urban-appropriate designs. get some Wednesday, December 7 - Saturday, December 10, 10-8 pm, 347 West 36th Street, Suite 502, Cash, VISA, MC, AMEX, plus, preview and purchase pieces from her new headband line that she sold only to Barneys Co-Op this season, and are available exclusively for Eugenia Kim sample sale shoppers!
at the katvan's fun studio on 17th street, that's us with all holly's cute skirts and SHOE BAGS in the background. holly and i swapped boots as soon as i got there just for fun, my tootsi pluhounds for her frye's, and i must say I LOVE the frye boot. never thought i would. its just so comfy and has a heel and is CUTE. anyhoo, we met lots of interesting peeps, carolann who makes the most luxe hats and coats, colette who makes fabulous vintage pins, diana, mystelle, and jill stopped by too just for fun. we ate chocolate cookies from city bakery and i signed books, and one woman bought the apron right off my body! ok it was holly's apron and i was modeling it for her, but still, i felt . . . naked.
surely those two go together don't they? had too much fun at the nyc premiere of boys, heidi and rachel did q and a afterwards, while we all wiped our eyes dry. that movie gets me EVERY time in all different places! met michael the nice publicity director at the forum who has been so supportive of the film, hung with sarah, lora and jj, rayya and gigi, jenna and ernani, kumar, juliet and chris, karen, PJ and nancy, and all the peeps afterwards at the mini-soiree where i also had the good fortune to talk spa talk at length with michael and meet his chamring man, ed, who wrote the book i've just been pining to get my hands on. ooohwee! i am going to read it this weekend!
