We went to the local library today in the Bronx. Wow. Felt like I was in another country. You’d be pleased to hear the library was actually crowded at 4pm on a Tuesday in the Bronx. When the newspapers are constantly reporting that illiteracy is at an all-time high or whatever, it’s pretty surprising to see that many people in a library in a low-income area. But then again, there are computers in the library. Maybe everyone was there to play video games, surf porn and check their MySpace pages.
We spent the evening shopping for wedding outfits. No, I’m not getting married yet! My friend is getting married on Friday at sunset in Central Park. She and her fiance want to wear jeans so we’re trying to figure out a cool wedding outfit to compliment jeans. Hmmm…
As I sat at the White House Black Market fitting room entrance on a plush zebra chair reading an InStyle magazine with Sandra Bullock on the cover, it came to me. A fitted white trench coat!! And the bride loved the idea!! Yay!
We spent the rest of the evening scouring all the stores for white trench coats and discovered that our search would have been much easier had we done it a few months ago. But all is not lost. We found a good back-up plan. Tomorrow I’m going to pound the pavement in Manhattan and if worse comes to worse, I’m going to make her buy the $600 Burberry option. It’s super duper cute. And she’ll wear it forever! Now I just have to think of a way to convince her why it’s a good idea to part with $600 of her hard-earned cash. Any suggestions?
