Coney Island Baby

My friend Ilia came to visit for a couple of weeks, and he got to see a good deal of NYC. For the most part, Bobby played tour guide during the day (he works nights) while Kim and I stayed home and worked like old ladies. Bobby and Ilia were attached at the hip, and this was their first time meeting! At first, Kim and I were a little bitter about the lack of attention being paid to us, but you can't deny anyone their true soulmate;) On this particular day, we took Ilia to Coney Island. He wouldn't ride the Cyclone with us (so intense), but he did go on the Wonder Wheel. Coney Island may be a little run down, but the history behind it all maintains its charm. I love it so!

Ever since Out of the Fierce Parade came out (The Velvet Teen), I have imagined The Prize Fighter as my theme song. You know, if my life had opening credits. I just asked my friend Ilia what his theme song was - he decided on Exogenesis Part 1, by Muse. Epic.

What's your theme song?

Sex and the City 2

Christine, Jordana and Jessica already updated their blogs with photos from the event, but here I am, a day late and a dollar short. Check their blogs for more photos, because I also forgot to bring my camera. Worst blogger ever!

Tuesday night, we lucky gals were invited to a pre-screening of Sex and the City 2, hosted by HP. I have said this before - I've always been an Apple girl (since age 4 - true story), but HP sure knows how to put on a great event. It also doesn't hurt that they have beautiful Vivienne Tam edition notebooks (or digital clutches, as they call them). I did feel like I was cheating on my MacBook Pro, but I think it understands.

After some fun dress up photos, we squeezed into a limo and headed to the Paris Theatre, then to Bergdorf Goodman for the after party. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It's a feel good, laugh out loud with your girlfriends kind of movie, best enjoyed with a light heart and a bucket of popcorn. I relate most of my life to episodes of SATC and Seinfeld (maybe a little bit of Arrested Development), so I might be biased. After our girls night out, Big came by with his driver and picked me up, and we headed home to our amazing apartment with the huge closet full of tons of shoes and designer clothing.

Just kidding. I walked to the N train and took it to Park Slope, where Bobby, Kim and the critters awaited. It's no Sex and the City, but it's home:)

Love love and Carrie Bradshaw,

p.s. Which SATC character can you most relate to? I think I'm a mix of Carrie and Charlotte. I've made a lot of questionable choices in romance, love to write, and love fashion like Carrie. But I'm a little bit of a prude, like Charlotte.
