Had Songs of New York album long ago and played and played it, only to give it to a Tormé fan who somehow didn’t own it. Will repurchase for research.
Yesterday bought a mysterious NY souvenir for that girl. Pre-trip souvenir of course. Bought it while arranging framing for our Mickey Mouse print. Paul pays more for the frame than I did for the print in the good ol’ US of A. Figure.

Cat Power singing about New York on French TV:
I’ve had her recording of this song stuck in my head for the last couple of weeks.

Fabulous nobodies by Lee Tulloch … more new yorkia to inspire, though am not sure we should really let our clothes answer back in an apt that has no proper kitchen. They spend most of their time just hanging there, after all.

I’m vegan today! And this is sure to be the first of many excited posts about potential vegan-friendly shopping and eating experiences in the Big Apple.
so: Moo Shoes is an all-vegan shoe shop, advertising fashion with compassion. Now, in recent travels to Melbourne I visited a vegan shoe shop. This was all very well – everything looked well made, the ethics were good, but the shoes themselves were not so attractive.
If Moo Shoes’ site is anything to go by, styles are wide-ranging and often cute! Check out: Novacas heels and more heels and slightly more sensible heels and everything else they make, red boots from Vegetarian Shoes, Queenbee bags.
Also the Vegan Guide to NYC! I can see great shopping in my future.

You know who you are.
This trip will take you in, too. Come forth and join the fun.
Ok: HR, DF, RW. Help?

OK, only one of us really could be the character played by Marlo Thomas though, I dunno – in a way a couple of us could be if flailing arms, bizarre coincidences and great spin count.
(Helene Hanff fans, don’t despair … Apple of my eye is sure to appear in more than one post. As it is, one of us (really, that girl) has visited 84 Charing Cross Rd. In your actual London. She gets around, that girl.)
