ms.

i went grocery shopping today and it started to rain so i hailed a cab. this is the exact conversation that happened between me and the driver. (no part has been removed or fabricated)

him: "you are very attractive"

me: (pause) "thanks"

him: "that is a good compliment"

me: "yes it is... thank you!"

a moment...

him: "are you a miss or a misses?"

me: "i am a miss"

him: "why not a misses? are you waiting for prince charming"

me: "yep. mmm hmm. prince charming!"

him: "do you think you are not ready?"

me: "not quite ready."

him: "you are an idiot because you think you are not ready, but you are."

just in time as we pull up to my door. i kindly thanked him for the advice, tipped, and walk inside (trying not to burst out laughing)

"God is anxiously waiting for the chance to answer your prayers and fulfill your dreams, just as He always has. but He can't if you don't pray, and He can't if you don't dream. in short, He can't if you don't believe."

ambivalent

she slipped her pretty dress over her shoulders and stomped her feet into her peep toe heels with a bow on the front before pressing her lips against the tissue to dab a little of the pigment off. it just looked better that way. he picked her up right on time and smelled real nice when she wrapped her arm around his and he leaned in front of her to open the car door. they drove together up the winding road to dinner and dessert on park city's main street. a real good conversation and a few awfully hilarious giggles later led to a quick drive up into the mountains. it was a mansion of course and it was empty and quiet, except for the bubbling hot tub in the back. a few patches of snow were piled around the tree trunks and when she tilted her head up the endless black sky was smeared with twinkling stars. it burned a little when she stepped in but by the time it reached her elbows the warmth just felt nice. he thought it was real funny when he dunked her head under and they laughed at the story he told her about all those years ago. they would've sat there all night and chatted if her feet didn't start hurting from morphing into raisins. it was oh so cold stepping out but she rinsed off and changed into an oversized sweater and braided her hair around her head. he had a movie planned but the theatre was quite complicated. she didn't mind. she was always more drawn to simplicity and sitting in front of the fire wrapped in a huge furry blanket was better anyways. especially since she had forgotten to refresh the rest of that pigment she'd accidentally dabbed off at dinner...


and what if i told you this wasn't pulled from any imagination and he plays the guitar? you wouldn't believe me? would you?

remember those candy bar letters you make when you're a little kid? i miss those. maybe next time instead of "phasing out" i'll create one of those.

when i am running behind on laundry...

i cease the moment and buy a new outfit... or two.

launched

things have been BUSY lately! larry got back from traveling with the U2 crew to africa for the louis vuitton campaign that will launch next season. i was made full time on the floor and my bestie rubi was hired on our team as a full time stylist! today i was fully booked on the floor and we launched our website!  whittemorehousesalon.com finally! yay! we also have recently been featured in harper bazaar's april edition and quoted as NY's "hidden gem" and were named in New York Mag's BEST OF 2010 best salon.

spring has finally come and the weather in the city is breath taking. we've been bicycling, egg dying in the park and walking instead of riding the train. honestly, i am so stupidly happy it's silly! more details to come later.

that's all for now. xx
