Hearing this music for the first time was “more than a feeling”. It was like a new sensation. Being in my room and hearing this music as a teenager made me feel all new. I could not classify it or describe the crisp production and spacey sounds. Was this new wave or just new?? Where were the look, all I saw was a guitar in space. This band had no image and why the name Boston?? It was a mystery, but I loved it!!

Besides this being my new favorite Pet Shop Boys song, it is also my favorite new show straight from the BBC via the LOGO channel. This campy and colorful new series tells the story of a young teenage creative genius on the rise. Based on the life story of famous Barney’s window dresser, Simon Doonan, it is fresh and fun. Ugly Betty Beware!!.

Just the name TWIGGY made me feel all goofy. I was obsessed with those long eye lashes and her groovy clothing. Chunky plastic jewelry looked so fun and hip. For some reason Twiggy was one of my idols growing up. She was a visual fun party. She always looked cool and with it! Her image has been loved from many photographers around the world. Avedon did it best. Sock it to me baby!!!

We all know that Williamsburg Brooklyn is full of wonderful hidden gems. The hipsters, the scene ,and youth. This great old fashioned diner feels like you walked into another century. I was then lead to a backyard garden with tables galore. All of a sudden the hip factor increased. Du Mont is great people watching for brunch, but also great food. A must repeat for me soon. Burger people…..the place to be….

I don’t know about you, but just about every night at around 10pm, the sweet tooth fairy arrives to my door. I want brownies, ice cream, cheesecake. or any kind of cookies ,and sometimes it is just good old Hershey’s. Instead I go for my sugar-free Jello. We all know that all any sugar at 10pm is just not good! All the tropical flavors of my Jello sends me into desert heaven but without the added guilt. Try it…it may change your life. It did mine and my scale.

We are all searching for the perfect V…this time is happens to start with an L for Lacoste. The tee shirt of choice. Why not add a little bite to your basics. Go for Black or White. Keep it simple. The $45.00 ticket is justified by the jersey prima cotton fabric. The soft cotton and modern fit is a marriage made in heaven. Trust me everyone will be asking. Go do it now! The search is over….

“And then there’s Maude”…
I think this song was my first lullaby before bed. I used to stay up to watch this show. I felt cool, adult and modern. I remember this as being one of my “favorites shows”. Was I a teenage feminist? It certainly wasn’t her outfits, although I did love those scarfs! Her overpowering brassy voice and attitude was refreshing and had me glued. This is where it all started for me and then many years later I was still attracted to Bea as my favorite “Golden Girl”. I will miss
Bea Arthur. She was television for me.
