  1. ENY: it’s strange b/c my husband’s mom’s family are from Alabama and he recalls a few times being called the “N” word as a kid from an older white person and he told me, you sorta accepted it down there, whereas if someone called him that up here – he would have gone nuts

    DH/Bxgrl – models are scary – but am talking women marching around the streets of NY who are all 5’3 and are SUPER skinny
    girls I work with her are SKINNNNNY – again it’s weird, no chest, no hips, nada

  2. “Biff, I saw the two of them sitting next to each other in a banquette booth at La Grenouille last night. They had arms entwined sipping Dom Perignon.”

    Very funny DIBS. Maybe What can afford La Grenouille, but I can’t!!

    “The What is her Bettr Half or BH as she refers to him.”

    FWIW, THL, BH is most definitely not What.

    I’m done working for my friend, but now I have BH’s cold/virus/whatever that he just got over, and feel like crap. So I’ve been lurking a little and sleeping a lot.

    [Oh, and I think I’m hallucinating…I thought I saw Poley in the OT…I better go see my doctor now.]

  3. Thanks, MM. I didn’t grow up in the south. But I do have some friends who are life-long southerners, people who made me realize that as you said, people are people. Hell, there’s plenty of racism right here in Brooklyn, at times expressed on this blog. Still, I know how to handle myself in NYC, regardless of the situation. On the other hand, whenever I’m down south, I almost always have the feeling “This just isn’t my place to be.”

  4. ‘Someone sent me a bunch of photos of models-they were frightening. they looked like they came out of concentration camps- I kid you not.’

    High fashion models are really freakishly skinny. You can’t really tell in magazines or TV – but when you see a 6 foot 1, 95 lb 16 year old in real life, it’s disturbing.
