stealing from Macy's

Okay, it only FEELS like a steal. I got this dress for around $10 at Macy's. It was $8.30 before taxes, marked down from $59!

I am loving the mesh overlay and keyhole back. I hate that the 90s are coming back, but this is much better than wearing pants to clubs like that awful 3-4 year span in the early 00's where the club uniform was slinky top and black Express pants.

I also got these tangerine heels for under $10! They were $8.50 at Crossroads.

I've been wearing them with skinny jeans. Can't wait to pair them with this black dress this weekend.

psychic reading


I was in Sephora today when this lady came up to me and told me she noticed my presence (aura?). She said, "You seem happy and smiling on the outside, but there is a sadness inside you. I want you to call me and we can discuss this." She handed me her card.
I shook my head. Nope. Nothing that I can think of.
"Yes, there is a man. An American man." Well, considering that I live in the United States, just about every man I meet would be an American man. I looked at her to continue. "He is a man that you want, but you cannot have. There is a sadness in your love life."
"Nope, my love life is just fine," I assured her. "I am dating someone and I am very happy."
"What is he?"
"Chinese."
"No, this man is an American man."
"Oh, you mean a white person. Nope, I prefer to date other Asians."
"Then he is mixed, maybe not all American."
I shook my head again. Then I started asking her questions. I asked her when she decided to start a business. She said she was not in business. "Then why did you give me your card? You have a business card."
"Well, people have to know where to find me, how to find me."
"Yes, but you charge for your services."
"No, I don't have a business. I run this out of my home. I have two children."

I asked her when she decided to become a psychic. She said she didn't choose, but she knew at the age of 6 she's psychic. I asked when she decided to become one as a profession. She repeated that she is not in business. I said, "Well I assume you went to school. So at some point, you were considering a traditional career path. What happened at the junction that made you choose this?"
"What do you mean traditional?"
"You know, like a subject you can major in, a job that people typically have."
She didn't have an answer and said to call the number and we can talk about it. I said, "No! I don't want to know about my life. I'm interested in your career."
"Look it up on the internet," she said and walked away from me. haha, I love badgering people.

sucker for pink

Looking at Emmy arrival pictures on NY Times and Keri Russell stood out. I love everything about this look: the flowy pink dress, the wavy bun, the flower in her hair and those delicate flower earrings.

At dinner with my friend the other day, I asked her if she was wearing eyelash extensions. She was! Our other friend showed up and she was sporting them too. This is the fourth close friend to have them this year. Is this the cool new thing?

the bum who hated crackers

This bum came up to Yves and me while we were sitting at an outdoor cafe in New York City and asked for some food. He claimed he was hungry. We told him we didn't have cash and Yves offered him her crackers. He was so offended and told us, "I don't want no crackers. I'm going to choke on those damn crackers." He sputtered and gestured and I told him to, "Calm the fuck down." He then told me to suck his dick and walked away.

That would be the Manhattan skyline behind us.
