It’s Couture Week. What’s that mean?

It's Couture week in Paris and in my home those are the high holy days. Twice a year we gather around a nice meal and thank our lord Givenchy for the frocks he gave unto us.  But what is it, this Haute Couture?

Best Signs from the March on Washington

I know there are lots of posts around showing a lot of signs. And I wont pretend this one is any different, other than I culled a lot from all over and only put what I really loved. Regardless of where you stand on the reasons women took to the streets this weekend, the one thing we can all enjoy is a well placed pun or an adorable child forced to represent their parents beliefs.  And since I got to make the list, those are a big part of the play here. Some of the signs are bawdy or profane. Good. It was about getting attention, not being polite. That's the point of a march. So sit back and enjoy some clever wordplay and snarky observations.   822858949003268096-png__700I know there are lots of posts around showing a lot of signs.

Son’s of Stars Love that Catwalk

We all know that the daughters of celebrities love to jump on that modeling gig to bring in a little cash (tons) and break away from mommy and daddy's wallet.  The Hiltons did it. The Hadid's own it. Lourdes tried.  Even the granddaughter of the king, Elvis, hit the stage a few times. But when the boys of stars take to the catwalk, it's not heard of as often. Likely because the entire mens fashion industry gets less attention than the womens. But they're out there. And they're strutting their stuff in the latest designer wear. Representing are Rafferty Law, son of Jude.  Brandon Lee, son of Pam and Tommy.  Levi Dylan, son of Jacob, grandson of Bob.  Presley Gerber, son of Randy Gerber and Cindy Crawford. And lastly, my fav, Romeo Beckham, son of David and Victoria.

Roberta Flack Selling Condo in Dakota Building

Who's the bigger legend here? Roberta Flack? One of the most beloved singers of all time. Or the Dakota building?  The home to many legends and the scene of John Lennon's tragic shooting in 1980. The “Killing Me Softly” singer has lived in the Dakota for 40 years.  A relatively small home at just 2000 sq ft, the 2 bedroom, 2 bath and airy 12 ft high ceilings.  But as the pictures show, the rooms can be tight. And the mirrored walls outdated. So perhaps the impending remodel is what scares buyers away from the lofty $6,995,000 price tag.   Or perhaps it's the $8,866 monthly fees for the privilege of living there. The stuffy listing describes the building thusly:
Designed by Henry J. Hadenbergh, The Dakota is a legendary icon of NYC living due to its incredible architecture and illustrious list of current and past residents. The Dakota architecture includes opulent finials, oil-burning lamps, and a manned sentry greet residents and their guests. From the elegant porte cochre entrance you can see glimpses of a fountain, located at the center of The Dakotas beautiful interior courtyard.
