Do shoe designers hate short people?

Okay, let me just vent for a minute. I know tall boots look great and they are a must-have for the fall season. SO, I ask, WHY ARE THERE NO TALL BOOTS FOR SHORT PEOPLE?

I have looked, and looked, and looked, and there are NO boots that fit me. I feel like goldie locks here - too big, to small-- why is there nothing that's "just right"? I either have to settle for booties (please do NOT get me started on that fall trend) or what on me looks like f-me boots since all the tall boots go over my knee.

This is not fair. For the most part I'm happy with my height, but when it comes to tall boots, I get ANGRY! I finally did find a pair that looked normal on me, but I also had to pay double my planned amount to get them!!!

But here's what I eventually got...one day I will make a clothing and shoe line just for short people...FASHIONABLE though (none of that Petite Sophisticate crap)...

OMG...frickin' HILARIOUS...

Alright, this is probably one of the most FUNNIEST things I've seen in a LONG time. This may not be new for some of you but my goodness...a wonderful new discovery for me.

Enjoy!

Le Bernardin

First, let me just say thanks for all the birthday wishes!

Second, let me tell you about my dinner at Le Bernardin. Of course as usual it was EXCELLENT. We both had the Chefs tasting menu and enjoyed lobster, wild salmon, fluke, and more (8 yummy courses in total)! The only bad thing was this guy that was sitting next to us. He was dining alone and was the most arrogant, rude, schizophrenic, ignorant man I have ever seen...to recap...

Description: Male with balding hair (on top, long on the bottom), round stomach, bad suit, apparently American

Timeline of Behavior: (note: I am NOT kidding here)
7:30pm - Sitting on right side of table
7:31pm - Gets up and walks out of the restaurant
7:35pm- Comes back to the table but proceeds to sit on the left side of table (note, all his settings on are the right side so of course the wait staff have to change it)
7:37pm - Gets up and walks out of the restaurant
7:40pm - Comes back to table and sits on same side
7:45pm - Gets up and walks out of the the restaurant
7:50pm - Comes back to table and sits on same side
7:53pm - Gets up and walks out of the the restaurant
7:59pm - Comes back to table and sits on opposite side (note, he kept switching sides like every 4th time he left the table)
8:00pm - Gets up and walks out of the the restaurant
This went ON and ON and ON unti about 9:15pm..He probably got up and left the table/restaurant about 15 times...I kid you NOT...everyone in the restaurant was looking at him...

Then, the piece de resistance-- he frickin' lights up a cigarette and starts SMOKING at his table. For those of you that don't know, here are some facts: (1) LeBernardin is 4-star restaurant, arguably the finest restaurant in NYC, (2) smoking is NOT ALLOWED in NYC restaurants. At first I thought I smelled smoke, and I look over at the psycopath and he's SMOKING. Another table noticed and complained to the Maitre D so he finally put it out after 2 mnutes. Really, he almost ruined my birthday dinner. I was SO OFFENDED. It literally left a bad taste in my mouth.

Anyways, I wish I had a camera so I could've taken a picture of this guy, or even shot a mini-video. RIDICULOUS.

But besides the fuc*#$ prick I had a great time at dinner with my sweetie.

Thank you Frank!

the apple of my eye...

Okay, so my birthday is coming up. I'm not that thrilled to be turning 32, but I am OH SO thrilled about one of my birthday gifts this year (which I am using RIGHT NOW). The apple of my eye *wink wink* got me my very own apple; a MAC that is!!! I was sure that he got me a grill pan (I told him either a nice dinner and no present, or normal dinner but nicer present, but of course he broke the rules) but alas he walked in with a cute white laptop.

I'm so very excited. Whoever else has a mac let me know so we can video conference. I feel so cool!

Tad Martin + West Side Diner




So Frank and I are sitting in our booth, looking at our menus, and I happen to look up and I say to Frank, "OMG, I think that's Tad Martin from All My Children". But then I think for a second and I say to Frank, "But he looks too fat to be him". Then I hear him say something. "That sounds so much like Tad Frank". Then I hear the Tad-look-a-like say to his breakfast companion, "If Tad wasn't such a funny character they would've fired me awhile ago".

So there you have it. Tad Martin inside West Side Diner.
