Vanity Fair!
This month's Vanity Fair arrived in the mail yesterday and not only is there the cutest picture ever of Rachel Ray wearing the most amazing apron in the known history of the world (I want one!!) (I collect aprons -- and I wear them!) (Okay, here is a photo of the page, but it is really tiny:
...VF has URLS for purchasing everything she is wearing except the apron...), but Cher is on the cover, too! I love Cher! Cher is one of the few women performers (besides Julie Andrews, I guess) that I have loved throughout the course of my entire life! (Hope that doesn't make her feel too old.) (I have loved Cher since I was 5, and now I'm 50. Yikes. That be a long time, matey!)
(Not sure why I'm being so intensely parenthetical today.)
Well, back to Cher. She looks great; however, that said...she also looks like she's just had the most amazingly stupefying ton of plastic surgery. You know, it's like she's "sort of" Cher and sort of not... She "resembles" someone I once knew as Cher. Anyway, she looks good regardless! I haven't read the article yet but that also looks good -- you know, like she's just going to be saying all that stuff she's always saying where she doesn't give a shit about what anybody thinks about what she's saying! So Cher!! (I'll keep you posted once I've read it.)
And speaking of reading... I am the proud & brand new owner of a hardcover copy of Jonathan Franzen's new novel, Freedom. I had borrowed the book from a client only to go home and do something I have never done before: I accidentally spilled a glass of red wine on my night table and BLAMMO! -- shit!-- it got all over a book that I did not own. Well, now I own it b/c I had to buy a new one to give back to my client. (The red wine also saturated my copy of Karnows' Paris in the Fifties, plus one of my journals (which kind of looks nice covered in red wine; so like moi!)). But it spared: Keith's memoir, Life; Jim Carroll's novel, The Petting Zoo; Ernest Holmes' Creative Mind & Success; Justin Spring's Secret Historian; and Jose Lezama Lima's Paradiso. I guess I keep a lot of books on my little night table. Somewhere down at the bottom there is also some wood...)
You know, I have had "visitors" do that before -- people who, for some mysterious reason unbeknownst to moi, were in my bedroom and had set a glass of red wine on my night table that they then sent toppling over and/or sailing to the floor. But I, personally, have never done this! It felt like a low point for me -- I was actually totally sober when it happened. Plus it wasted an entire glass of red wine!
(You know, one time I was in a hotel suite with "a friend" and I did spill my glass of red wine. She had insisted on burning this little candle for atmosphere that night, and when she tried to help me clean up the mess of my spilled wine, she managed to set one of the hotel's cloth dinner napkins on fire b/c of that stupid candle... I was totally not sober when that was going on, but if I recall correctly, I looked pretty darn captivating that night, sober or not..... When the room service waiter delivered our dinner, I think he really, really wanted to stay. He said something like "You ladies really got it going on"...ha ha ha) (sigh; long time ago.)
Well, yesterday was all about going to Cleveland with Mom and I tell you what -- Cleveland still rocks! I love Cleveland. And alas, I now have tons more deliciously taste-tempting pastries in my freezer. My cats aren't into pastries so guess who's going to be eating all this stuff!
Okay, back to the grind stone. Got a lot of writing I need to tackle today. Plus, I'm finishing one of my Rosetta Stone levels in French! Yay! Moving up to the next level, finally. Well, as always, thanks for visiting, gang! See ya real soon! (I hope) (She added, parenthetically.)
