BOOK SIGNING JUNKIE – RACHEL DRATCH

silverfoxinthecity — Wed, 23 May 2012 18:22:08 +0000

Give me a good book signing and I’m there! For those of you who don’t know me, I’m forever running to get a signed book. Not to be a “Debbie Downer” but at Rachel Dratch’s event I didn’t buy her book therefore no signing for me. I love Rachel and all her characters, but breast pumping and single white females in bars is just not my cup of tea.

Jeffrey sure knows how to pick ‘em. His annual fund raiser here in NYC has the fashion crowd roaring. They come to see his all male runway show which features the latest in designer men’s Spring fashion. The Blondes came out and were all so friendly.

SILVER BEAN

Silver Fox in a new city! CHICAGO. I was so excited to walk to this massive coffee bean. The reflection of the windy city on this SILVER sculpture was magnificent. My silver hair also reflected to shine like a rapid speed of light. I’m not a coffee drinker and actually prefer tea but it didn’t matter. Silver and shiny is how I like it!

BLAST FROM THE PAST – A ROCK OPERA (1970)

silverfoxinthecity — Thu, 10 May 2012 15:23:02 +0000

It is time to revisit this Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice masterpiece. This 1970 recording was from London and this is the one to get! Not the one from the movie, or from the many others that exist. A new version is now playing on Broadway and I’m having mixed feelings. This original is how I remember the music and a new version may not live up to my expectations. The eerie and dramatic music was enchanting and also horrifying to me as a child. Judas and King Herod, and Pontius Pilate were such interesting characters in the movie version which followed. “I Don’t Know How To Love Him” sung by Yvonne Elliman stands out as a song that is soothing and dramatic and a classic. The first “Rock Opera” influenced many to follow to even this day. Webber /Rice certainly have made their mark.

BUBBLICIOUS – MDNA – MADONNA

silverfoxinthecity — Mon, 07 May 2012 20:08:57 +0000

So what is this, Girls Gone Wild? Hasn’t she always been a little. . . I don’t understand all the fuss. Is she “Too Old To Rock and Roll” Madonna’s way? Her new CD MDNA is full of fun pop and even some hokey lyrics. People think she is too old to sing such silly nonsense. I like the songs a lot and they are fun and very typical Madonna. Does this mean she can’t chew gum, too?

MUSIC MANIAC – REAL ESTATE – DAYS

Now: REAL ESTATE - DAYS (2011)

Spring is coming! It is time to INVEST in some REAL ESTATE. ”Jingle Jangle” is the best way to describe this band. Its mood is soft and fresh. A great way to start a new season. The vocals are floaty and ethereal and has a 60′s surf sound. Lazy days of spring and summer with Frisbee in hand. These are the kind of DAYS we all want. Green grass and long walks in the park. Remember the Byrds are singing. . .

Then: THE BYRDS - GREATEST HITS (1967)

After listening to the new band Real Estate, it brought me back to the pleasant sound of The Byrds. I remember this greatest hits album cover so vividly from my big sisters’ album collection. These records were lining up against a wall or on a sleek white shelf surrounded by a printed wallpaper so colorful and wild that it could easily have been a box of crayola crayons gone wild. Shag carpet galore too. My music maniac craze began here and it was a wonderful world of exploration in sound and vision.

SPLURGE GALORE – PATENT PENDING

silverfoxinthecity — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 16:25:17 +0000

Suede in the summer is one of the most luxurious materials. I’m also a big “Patent Pusher.” These sneaker/shoes have it all. I have been after a pair of Lanvins for almost two years. Still no luck! Gifts welcome anytime . These “classics” have been in the line for awhile so we know they are a main stay. I first tried them on in Jeffrey and the sale associate kindly educated me on the making of these wonderful trainers. They are made in shoe factories and when I stepped in, I felt like I had put on a pair of extremely well made shoes. The price was justified, or so I convinced myself. Navy for Spring or there is always next season. Suede and Patent and like Bonnie and Clyde. Watch out!

Why Are Serums So Expensive? Origins Plantscription Anti-Aging Serum

silverfoxinthecity — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:38:14 +0000

Serums are all the rage now. Every skin care line has a serum or two. I love the way they feel and work. They glide on your skin and tighten and firm. Then you put on a moisturizer or not. The serum just makes your skin feel like you just had a treatment. Clean, fresh and new. I’m now loving this one from Origins. $55.00 for the small and $75.00 for the large. You only need a bit so they so last a while. Serums are light and not heavy on the skin. Serums are worth every penny for smooth and beautiful skin. Plantscription is practical yet pricey. Anti-aging is worth every penny in my book!

POC, POC, POC – POP OF COLOR

silverfoxinthecity — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 16:36:31 +0000

POC is the newest trend in men’s and women’s fashion for spring 2012. I love this term and I’m going to dare to try it. Pop Of Color is exactly like it sounds. Dare to be different. I love these military belts by 7 Hill in orange and lime green boys. The military will have fun with these! White jeans, black tee shirt and your POC and your set. Also sneakers are a great way to get a POC into your wardrobe. Piperlime.com offers these belts for $30.00 so treat yourself and turn your military look into a passion fruit FRENZY.
