Now I am a little jealous!

As long as Federal workers are going to get paid, I have to admit I am a little jealous. It has been 9 days since the government shut down and I keep thinking if only I were furloughed I could actually read a book, catch up on all my movies, watch a telethon of Homeland and maybe clean a closet. Ok, maybe not clean a closet, but all the rest. After all we ARE living in a rental! But I could go to all the design stores and start buying things for the new condo. I have wanted to get to Darryl Carter’s design store for ages and I could do that if I DID NOT HAVE TO WORK!! I feel a little better now. Venting is good for the soul I always say. Silver lining: lots of you have had time to come and shop so thanks! AND our shutdown party was really fun! SOOOOO, join us AGAIN on Friday for another party that will have three fabulous lines of clothing: KEDEM SASSON, YOSHI, and KAREN KLEIN. It all starts at 11:30 and will go until the last person leaves, so if you want to try on and order beautiful spring clothing come this Friday!

U7 and PLANET ARE OPEN THIS SATURDAY 12-5!

Fun Smithsonian fact: the Air and Space Museum and the Museum of Natural History that owns the Hope Diamond, are the most visited museums in the WORLD. Except now. More than the Louvre. Between 6 and 7 million people visit them every year, except when we shut down our government. Shameful and that is all I am going to say about it.

GRAVITY: loved it. Loved my guy George, loved the cinematography, was amazed at how fantastic Sandra Bullock looks, (she so works out) and even though it all seems a little improbable, it was a really good movie. I cried too!! Also, I loved that Ed Harris was the voice of mission control. I mean now he has to be in every space movie.

I have so much jewelry and so many scarves that I could open a whole store of it so if you need any jewels or any scarves, you should come in for the best selection I have ever had. Yes, I did overbuy. I couldn’t help it. Everything looked so great. I have lots of dressy jewelry too. And some beautiful evening bags which if anyone needs one, make wonderful milestone gifts.

If anyone is looking for a mother of the bride gown, come in because even though I do not sew I have measured six women for Ray Harris dresses and every one of them has come in perfectly. And beautiful. I think he is going to come here in February so if you do not need a dress until late March you can order with the man himself!

See you Friday! Champagne and great clothes!
