They're No Manolo's...

But I purchased some shoes on Amazon.com by Christian Louboutin the other day and just got them. They're absolutely gorgeous and I love them. I think every woman needs a good black heel, and my old ones were stolen. I'm enjoying them... sorry about the photo, really cant see anything correctly (due to the fact that i need new light bulbs in my bathroom).

Its about 12:40 A.M. and my somewhat hush-hush boy (Joseph) wants to meet for drinks. A bit late, but for someone I rarely get to see, it's alright. Believe we are going somewhere in Brooklyn (Boo, it seems so far away) and I hate leaving Manhattan.


SO. If you live in the New York area tell me if you're going to be attending Twirl's one year anniversary celebration. OPEN BAR! Haha, and I'm sure they will serve some fantastic food.

Night with the girls..

So we have decided on dinner and drinks tonight at Omen (113 Thompson St in Soho). Authentic Japanese cuisine, critically acclaimed, and sounds amazing. Apparently, they serve Sake, something I've been wanting to try for a long time now. Actually I'm surprised I haven't had it yet. Should be exciting.

Perhaps I should tell you a little about my best friends. Monika Bradshaw: married to a financial advisor working for Wall Street. She's always dated men with money, dark hair, and the tendency to look like 18 year olds. She's usually home, rarely goes out with us, but if anyone is need, she hops in the first cab to order chinese for you and brings the champagne. She also has an obsessive knack with her tan and looks. It works, she gets constant stares and whistles.

Noelle Benson: I almost spend every day with this woman. Single and beautiful, and a thing for hot, black men. She's a CNA, but couldn't stand washing old men's parts. So, she works at a fabulous bar (I won't exploit it) and makes a decent amount of money. Very stubborn and into herself, but the best friend you could ask for. Currently on the rebound, and she's certainly bounding... with a lot of men.

Nicole Keller: The hippie. Although shes a bit old to smoke joints, we occasionally catch her doing it. Very fashionable, tall, and has the blonde, California locks. She's a very talented interior designer, and occasionally work on properties together. She's the sweetest thing you will ever meet, and has the cutest lisp of all time. Currently semi-single. She's dating a younger guy, who, turns out, has major anger problems. Your typical bad boy with the girl next door.

First Post

Yes, most women of Manhattan absolutely adored the HBO series Sex and the City. It was really fantastic and I loved the movie. However, I'm an even bigger fan of SJP. Don't we all wish we had the friggin confidence to wear what she wears? I just couldn't believe that Nina Ricci (a fantastic designer whom I have admired for a while now) would be so sleezy to hand a one of a kind dress to three different women. Was it an honest mistake (undoubtedly not) or something she deliberately intended to do? All I have to say is how embarrassing for Sarah and the designer.

This story reminds me of a wedding I attended last summer in the Hamptons. One of my martini sipping gal pals (whom I must add is extremely fashionable and rarely makes bad judgement) chose some of the most ugliest bride maid dresses ever. However, they were one of a kind and she of course absolutely had to have them, and bragged tremendously . The day of the wedding, as I'm walking down the aisle, I notice a woman with the SAME exact dress on. My eyes widened and I knew there was to be hell from the Mrs. I asked her after the wedding where she got it and said the JCPenny catalog! Ha! The bride was so embarassed, but we all shared a laugh 2 years later. Can you say mishap!

Moving on to the shoes. Manolo's Shoe Blog shoeblogs.com has shown me these babies. For a mere $665 these could be yours, thanks to Neiman Marcus.

Today was nice, except for the awkward moment I shared with a man I've been dating for about two weeks now. He suggested that in late June we go to see Shakespeare at Central Park. Don't get me wrong, I could enjoy this... but I don't see this relationship going that far. In fact, I planned on breaking the news to him before his little invite.

So, the question now... How do I break it to this sweet little man that I'm just not that interested? And when I say little, I mean little.

More to come! Thanks for reading With Love, MP
