I was rushing around New York City desperately trying to find a bathroom. I popped into Kate Spade, begged for the use of their facilities, and found myself in the cutest restroom ever. Yes, Ever. Of course Kate Spade would have it that way! THERE ARE BOWS ON THE WALL! How adorable amiright?! Can I please have that wall paper in my bathroom?! Because I can’t get over it. And there’s a chair in the bathroom… But why? I never understood this. Is someone supposed to sit there and read a magazine while I do some business on the toilet?

Ray’s Pizza – A Restaurant in New York City, New York
One thing that was a must-do in New York City for me and my BAE, was get pizza, which is my other BAE. Clearly, the Before Anything Else idea encompasses lots of areas of my life leaving me with an inability to make decisions. But pizza? It was a must. And would you believe we had a hard time trying to find pizza in New York? Some places were closed, some were jam-packed to the point where the place would be closed by the time our turn came at the register, and some places just had bad health food ratings
Central Park, New York City, New York
When you visit a place like Central Park, you have expectations. And mine included a vast area of nature in the middle of a sprawling urban jungle. It sort of was that and it sort of wasn’t. I think I forgot that it was a park like any other one I could find in my own city and not an actual wilderness full of untouched human land. I don’t even know why I had this concept of Central Park to begin with. I’d seen enough photos of Mariah Carey walking her dog on the concrete pavements to know better. There
Camp Fashion at the Met
I am well aware of the Met Costume Institute and I always hoped that one day I’d see an exhibit. I did, and you wouldn’t believe it but the theme was so perfect for someone like me to see. It was all about CAMP. Camp as in tacky as hell clothing. How great is that? It’s like they knew I was coming and put out all the best stuff just for me. Although I describe camp as “tacky” the Met has chosen to use a better description via their website, in which the exhibit “examines how the elements of irony,
Lindt’s Truffles!
Lindt’s truffles are my dream come true. They are the PERFECT truffle. Trust me, I know. I’ve been a chocolate truffle monster sniffing out candy in many a place and these mass produced chocolates are the ones I come back to time and time again. They always make me close my eyes and say “Oh. My. God.” every time I take a bite. So you can imagine my reaction upon seeing a store dedicated to these awesome goodies in New York City. I entered and I grabbed EVERY TYPE THEY HAD. And then I went back and grabbed extras because
Chicago on Broadway!
I’m so lucky. I need to stress that. I am so incredibly lucky. My favorite musical of all time is Chicago. The plot line involves a prison full of women who are there because they murdered their significant others. As the musical unfolds, you watch as they build defenses based on lies and try to use the media to their advantage. I love the music, the storyline, Roxy Hart’s devious ways, and Velma Kelly’s attempts to maintain her fame. It’s sexy. It’s funny. And it’s even better live and on Broadway. My significant other might have had concerns about my complete adoration for a story
An Open Letter to New York City
Dear New York City, My first impression of you was that you were exactly like the movies said you were: full of loud people who communicated by yelling and honking at each other. You also had beautiful people with all the designer brands on their arm and were the center of the universe. But, that’s only the surface. You’re not any of that really. You’re more of a surprise than an expectation. I will say you’re city stinks. No, it literally reeks of horse manure and piss. Then again, your public restrooms actually had urine on the floors. I guess
