Bunnies Take...Chicago




So as you may have noticed my posts in March were few and far between...I promise not to make a habit of this but the past months have been a bit intense!!

For starters: I found out I'll be moving to Playboy's original home in Chicago for a little while to lead our design team from there, got a fab. new apartment and went down a jean size.

And last, but certainly not least, I have fallen deeply, madly, hopelessly in love ('Made it through the wilderness...didn't know how lost I was until I found you' styles) with a woman who loves New York, Madonna, time management and romance as much as I do!!

At first I was completely overwhelmed... I had grown very comfortable with my role as the date planner, gift giver, door and bag holder and never realized that BOTH parties in a relationship could successfully fulfill this position. Finding this romantic and exhilarating two-way street may be my greatest recommendation of all...(*Unfortuately I don't have the street address and phone number for this one...check your local listings)

As for the rest...now that I have another ridiculously stealth and generous gal in my life I can offer you kids twice the advice ;)
all my love....FND

Blast from the Past






An old New York W. Village favourite, Minetta Tavern, re-opened this Tuesday.
They have a great mix of french entrees along with upscale americana: ie their signature "Black Label" burger.
Their status as a former NYC staple is causing unneccesary crowds to flock to their re-opening...making it a better post date (or drunken snack stop) than venue for the main event...adorable either way

113. Macdougal Street (Minetta Lane)
Dinner Menu served til 2am

You may be my Lucky Star...




I'm still not sure how I feel about this one...a friend of mine told me about this website where you can name a star after someone and get the coordinates and the chosen name engraved on a necklace (that looks suspiciously like the sterling silver Return to Tiffany necklace...)

I guess if your lady is an astronomer, or if you happened to meet during a meteor shower this might be cool...

Otherwise: there ain't nothin' like the real thing.
And Tiffany's will custom engrave anything. I had them add WWMD (ie)What Would Madonna Do?) to mine. Now THAT'S a guiding star ;)
