i love my agent
me: I have a dr's appt at 2 - can they fit me in a little later?
suzy: have your dr. prescribe some xanax after that Vermont experience!
me: hahaha - that would actually be perfect.
suzy: one for you, as prescribed, the rest for your agent.

If you were told to evacuate, would you? Where would you go? Most people watched the aftermath of hurricane Katrina from the comfort of their living rooms, surrounded by plentiful Costco-portion snacks, wondering why so many people stayed in their homes when told they should evacuate.
On Friday, as CNN and NY1 warned New Yorkers with increasing urgency to evacuate Zone 1, my husband and I were...
ASK A DESIGNER: Mom Responds re: clutter and...
Dear Cluttered,
This is a very good question. Most of us deal with some clutter in our homes. I too adore smallish containers and want to be able to display or use them in some way. I have found that they can create another problem, ie clutter unless I have corralled them in some way to make a statement. The accompanying photos (see previous post), although clever and attractive aren’t...
ASK A DESIGNER: Dear Mom...
I’m always looking for solutions for clutter, particularly in the bedroom department. I have a ton of small jars and dishes on my dresser-top holding my precious jewels (read: old stuff I don’t really want to part with mixed with some newer stuff I love.)
I came across these pics on one of my favorite design websites (storagegeek.tumblr.com) and they made me drool.
Do you have any...

In this first instalment of “Ask A Desinger,” I wonder about the use of the color peach in interior design. Peach screams 70’s to me, which means I mostly love it. But 1980’s peach can veer into the pastel category, that sort of “Miami Vice is so in right now” vibe.
Read my mom’s* reflections on peach below.

I only read the statement from the Association of Black Women Historians, because I have already heard the raves about the film.
I haven’t seen the film, and I probably won’t - mostly because I don’t see many movies (it’s not usually a pleasant experience in NYC) - but also because I’ve learned enough American history told from the perspective of white folks.
But I...

Sure you’ll never get a reservation at Dorsia (because it doesn’t exist). But Patrick Bateman’s hung out in a bunch of very real 1980’s New York City restaurants and clubs. What has become of the world of American Psycho after 20 years?
