Sleeveless Style

I wear sleeveless styles, especially in the evenings, all year 'round: I think the look is elegant and feminine, and honestly? I love my tattoo, and I like wearing things that leave it visible.

My Looks

Just A Little Bit Grey Gardens

When one doesn't really go out all that much, and then suddenly one does get to go out - like on, say, a date night with one's husband where canoodling (!) may occur - it's fun to...you know...dress-up.

And when I dress up, I always like to go just a little bit overboard. LBD and subtly elegant extras? I don't think so. Not now. Not today.

Why? Because it's fun to wear animal print...and glamorous, poofy faux-fur boleros...and chiffon bows...and gold sparkle...all at the same time.

Just fun. That's all.

Cross-Country Travel Musts

There are a few items I always always always bring with me on flights (regardless of how long or short), and they make the whole experience so much more pleasant.

1. Water. So much water.

2. Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory English Toffee Apple, pre-sliced for easy on-plane consumption.

Mother’s Helper

As of last night, we were still stuck in New York City, crashing at my parents’ place while we wait for power to be restored to our neighborhood. When I left home, I was thinking (very naively) two, three days at most.

J.R. Martinez Runs The NYC Marathon For NYRR

***UPDATE - Breaking news: NYC Marathon will NOT be held this Sunday. At present, it is unclear whether the race will be canceled or just postponed.***

This Sunday, Nov 4, United States Army veteran J.R. Martinez (who you probably know from Dancing With The Stars) will be running in the 2012 ING New York City Marathon (still happening!) to support New York Road Runners' Youth Programs. He will be the very last person to start the race, and for every runner he passes, Timex will be donating $1 to the charity.

The backstory behind Martinez's partnership with Timex is especially interesting: in 2003, while serving in Iraq, he survived a truck explosion during which he suffered burns over 34% of his body. One spot that was saved: his wrist, which was protected by the Timex watch that he was wearing (he later got a tattoo of that very same watch over the spot). Martinez is running with the help of Timex's Ironman Run Trainer GPS (pictured above), which provides real-time pace, distance and heart rate information.
