July is my birthday month and frankly probably my favorite in the year :) The weather is at it's best and the warm sun (please use SPF sun protection like I do) makes everyone smile and have a blast... it is yet again time to spend outside in a circle of friends on the many priceless NYC rooftops! Well, as you see, I am ready for the fireworks show later on tonight, so please: Bring 'em on!

ny fashion week is under way...

...Lincoln Center, New York City, February 11th, 2011...

For the second time at Lincoln Center, the newest in fashion is currently presented. I will personally report from the Skybox on Monday the 14th, so look out for tweets and posts - Enjoy!

craving spring

Aawwh! Come on, this is simply too much snow!


Of course I remember a many harsh winters in New York City, but what we are recently enduring is out of this world. Since weeks things have been buried under ice and I was not surprised to see this "sculpture" the other day. It says: " This is simply too much snow!"



We are trapped! We are going under! Shovels are all sold out (Already went through our 4th this season, none of them surviving more than a day or 2 of ice action. China - your manufacturing may be on point for many things, but stop making snow shovels, they are not sturdy enough for this weather) and they do no longer carry my size winter boots anywhere, I checked.

Well, well, it's mother nature, so we've got to hang in there I guess... by now, I really crave Spring.

wonder woman pop's up

...The cosmetic/comic shop...

You've got exactly 10 days - until February 10th - to snatch up a Wonder Woman piece of cosmetics at the Spring Street pop up shop!


For me it's all about the “Wonder Woman” logo bearing the package designs (we already know that M.A.C. cosmetics are great). I can be a kid all over again, that's pretty darn exiting!

...becoming Wonder Woman...

Now we can all be Wonder Woman in real life!

What's happening?

Maybe you ask yourself why I have not posted in so long. It's because I've been crazy busy. There's not other reason. I am writing this at 2AM in the morning after a very long day and I am about to slip into bed... I just thought I'd say "hi" real quick and post an image. You may want to hang on, I've so much great stuff to blog about, once I get to it!

in new york city

In New York City one has plenty of opportunity to wonder where people are coming from, yeah right, most of them are of course just tourists wandering around the stores on Broadway taking advantage of the weak currency of that Dollar nowadays, well great, we can surely use that kind of influx here in the Big Apple. And NY is the biggest melting pot of cultures.

But I am talking about another stranger here. It's the souls you meet that seem like they are not part of the big movement, even though they are probably your neighbors, maybe have been living here longer than you, yet they are somehow left behind, at least that is what they seem to be, maybe they are just ahead of the rest. But these characters whom you encounter once in a while are standing out of the crowd because they are not like everybody else, there are plenty of them, thanks goodness!


The other day we were taking a bike ride in Battery Park, taking a few breaths of fresh air on a bench, discussing the days developments and this young woman in a red rose printed dress walks by - and made us smile - carrying a sign that read: "Stress Stops Here". She's just spreading a good vibe she says... reminding the people to take a deep breath and relax.

How cool is that? Heh? Only in NYC? Maybe not, but definitely in NYC.

...so stress stopped right here...
