I was in New York a few weeks ago, and I saw three plays while I was there. One was the new Green Day musical, “American Idiot”. I am not a theater critic so I will leave it at that. My favorite play of the three was “Next Fall” a play which I hope one of the theaters here (I hope ACT) picks up. The third play is a work by Nora Ephron, a play that explores the role of clothing in a woman’s life. It is called “Love, Loss, and What I wore”. Here is a link to the website http://www.lovelossonstage.com/
Again, I am not a theater critic. My college roommate came to Seattle because I talked him into it, and became a theater critic here….google Steve Wiecking. So perhaps he could either give this Nora Ephron play a good review…or not. But I did think it was an interesting topic, dramatic events that happen in our lives and what outfits we wore. How we feel about clothes. It seems to fit in with our Great American Apparel Diet. I thought, too bad all of us ( how many now? Over 100?) can’t take a field trip to New York! Gnaomi Siemens will not have to travel far. We could see this play together and then have a chat about it after. The standout of the show was Danny DeVito’s and Rhea Pearlman’s daughter. She was great!!! Anyway, google it. Very interesting. I think Nora Ephron should visit our site here, maybe we would inspire more monologues for her play.

I just got back from 8 days in New York, and no shopping. There is a first time for everything, I guess! I did some window shopping, however. I found this great store called Karen Millen. She is a designer from the UK. If I had cheated, I would have cheated in the Karen Millen store. One of my fab and frequent traveler to NYC clients told me about the boutique, it is in Soho. So hard overcoming the shopping urge. The craziest part is, that Alissa Schoenfeld, my business partner for Beauty Alert!, gave me her favorite Diane Von Furtenberg blouse! She said she was tired of it. I said, “Is this because you know I am on that no clothes for a year diet?” She said “What diet?” I love it that I got some clothes for this trip without breaking the rules. She also gave me a short silk dress with ruffles. Yay!

Hi. I went to a play reading last night at Solo Bar on Roy street. The group New Century Theater Company put on a play reading, and all the cute actresses showed up to watch the event in their outfits. I noticed that the trend was a little dress, above the knee, leggings and boots. Kind of like back in 1989 when I first moved here! Minus the Doc Martins. Anyway….I started hankering for this look. I have the leggings. But, no little dress. I stared to feel so bad that I didn’t have the little dress. There is a store called Queen Anne Dispatch by my shop, and on my break I went in. I tried on 8 little dresses. One of the owners was there, she knew I was on this diet. She said “won’t Sally be mad at you?” Well, I just saw Sally. She laughed and said someone in the group said I was constantly cheating. Hey, this is only four times! Yes, this is the fourth time. I got a little navy tunic by Trinity. It was on sale, too! Only $42.00. Am I the biggest cheater? Or am I the only one who confesses????
