Fashion & Style - New York Times

"Bill Cunningham narrates an audio slide show about the large, colorful purses women seem to love carrying in New York City." NYT

Long gone are the days of my carrying purses that cost more than my mortgage payment. However, I must admitt, they are fun-fun-fun to look at. I do love LV the best - what can I say? Anyway, as I so often warn Jah when we enter a store with delicate things that we CANNOT afford to replace if broken - when it comes to these over the shoulder budget busters - I'm using my eyes, not my hands!

Wanna see the show???????

Big ass bags! Seventeen hundred and up? Are you kidding me? Ridiculous. They look like diaper bags. LOL. Still, it was interesting to see the slide show. I am so glad I am not a woman. I just don’t see the fascination with purses.

I know what you mean... i marvel at the lenghts I went to to obtain such items back in the day. Don't get me wrong, they are nice to look at, but I have swimming and karate classes to pay for these days!

So I heard my personal muse Maxwell on the radio yesterday (backdrop...I almost NEVER listen to regular old radio stations, either it's cd or talk radio) and who was on but Maxwell. Ever so graciously engaged in an interview with a lackluster announcer on a lackluster station. Now you all know that it has been a minute, ok seven years, since we have really heard from this brother. Seems to me, from what I hear it's about to be worth the wait. I believe his new album, which is a trilogy called "Black Summers Night" drops July 7th. Suffice it to say, I am quickly falling in love with the first single "pretty wings"...check the link above. What I love about Maxwell is the love and respect for women that infuses his music. He makes me feel what he is feeling in a song. He clearly has some loving parents, bc this brother comes across as being strong, yet sensitive, in control, yet vulnerable....his music is magic to me. Please take a moment to check out this vid...

Hola y bienvenido mi amigos (hello and welcome back my friends), It's been a minute I know. I recently returned from a much needed escape to Puerto Rico. It was a very relaxing trip and gave me some time to sort some things out and look at some things from a different perspective. I came away from my trip refreshed and with a couple of realizations that I would like to lay on you. Got a minute? Good. While I would never volunteer to act as an interpreter during a meeting at my job-unless forced to do so- I really do know more Spanish than I let on. My college professors were right, language immersion is the key to bridging the gap to fluency. Had I been as smart as my cousin Kecia, I too would have taken a semester to study in South America while in college. But no, I was too busy being cute in D.C. But I digress. You see after having studied Spanish for 8 consecutive years and living in an area largely populated by Spanish speakers, the problem I still have is that when I speak Sp...
