and after the burn.

….and in hotel in El Lay after (!) btw, I am wearing a really cute Alice & Trixie jumper, will have to share in a later photo. I SUCK at taking photos of myself.

before the burn in Malibu

Poolside in Malibu…before the burn.

getting my Vickie B. on

This is me doing my best Victoria Beckham imitation (lame I know) moments after we saw her on Rodeo…as lame as that sounds, it actually happened.

ps-I am going to stop uploading photos for now, I know how annoying it is when people post a kajillion in a row.

wendy's trip to beijing.

One of my client’s photos during her recent journey through China and Japan. This is from Beijing. She said when she was taking this photo, in this place… she just felt a pure, uninterrupted moment of peace.

winter travel :: tropical, canyon-ical?

So we are trying to figure out where to go for a winter/December trip....

My choice is this. Beach. Sand. Sun. Tropical.

The other idea on the table is that. Outdoors. Tents. Ewe.

How are we ever going to agree??

Sigh.

This is what I have been dreaming/having nightmares about all night.

*bang camaro, piano bar + limelight

So.... sorry invisibles that I have been away for over 24 hours. I have been absorbing Boston. I went to the piano bar in my hotel on Friday night (totally lame I know...even lamer they had a chick dressed up like the girl in Hairspray singing songs with a cheesy guy playing the piano). Yah.

I met up with some old friends and made some new friends who I ended up going to an ultra karaoke place with, Limelight. It wasn't like the Limelight in the good old NYC days--at all. But we had a blast. The best was this guy from the Rock Opera's rendition of I believe in a thing called love...just listen to the rhythm of my heart. Remember that song?

The worst--a bunch of homegirls trying to sing Mary J.

Anyhow, some of the guys I met are in this band, Bang Camaro. They are like a football field strong and kind of hard but I am sure they put on a good show. I am going to check them out in NYC the next time they are here.

A couple of their friends were awesome. I honestly don't think I've laughed like I did with them in years.

I also met up with my friend Jeff and his Harvard Biz School friends with Aleeza on Saturday. Hmmm. This was a highly disturbing event in more ways than one so I am going to ponder it and over analyze it more and I'll get back to you with more details on it tomorrow.

My findings [aka overused generalizations] about Boston are as follows.

• Food service is piss poor at best.
• Newbury street is awesome.
• Marc Jacobs store still looks cuter on Bleecker.
• Boston guys will tell a girl she's hot a 100 times and it is kind of nice to hear it.
• Karaoke is better when the people can actually sing.
• The Theatre district is kind of scary at night.
• Cambridge is awesome if you're with the right crowd.
• ...that crowd isn't HBS kids.
• Boston is seriously kicking ass in multiple sports.
• Tom Brady is hot.
• They love him.
• MFA is pretty cool.
  
• Wentworth is a college. I didn't believe you, Ab,but it turns out you didn't lie...about everything.
• The food in Boston sucks.
• So do the oysters. Shock. Yes, I said it.
• The mussles aren't that bad.

Ok, this is all I got for tonight on this thoughtful stuff. More soon. xoxo
