It has been a week of ups and downs, and I am looking forward to another week of ups and downs. I’ve been doing a lot of scurrying around trying to sell and give away things that I am not taking back to California.

I was able to do ONE thing one my list of “things to do in NY before I leave.” I went to the Elsa Schiaparelli/Miuccia Prada exhibit at The Met called “Impossible Conversations.”  The conversation was impossibly dumb. The one thing that drove me nuts was the fake conversation with Miuccia Prada and the Elsa Schiaparelli impersonator. They had video streaming int the background of their “conversation.” This was so corny and annoying.

I mainly went to see Elsa Schiaparelli’s work, I haven’t ever been a big fan of Prada in the past. I was pleasantly surprised by the exhibit contrasting their work. I have a new appreciation for Prada. In person, Prada was much more appealing than in pictures.

To get out of the 90+ degree heat of the last few days and for kicks I saw the movie “Magic Mike.”  I have to admit Channing Tatum (the actual person, not his character) is the epitome of white Abercrombie, Britney Spears, boy band guy of the late 1990’s to early 2000’s that represent my generation. He is the type of guy that will epitomize my generation when people look back 20 years from now. He is the mullet wearing guy of the 90’s, that is still the same type of guy today. Sorry dude, but your starting to look dated.

So, on the same day I went to the Met, I also saw “Magic Mike”–WHAT a CONTRAST!! One positive thing about “Magic Mike”: Joe Manganiello. They should have given him a bigger part!

On the store side of things, it’s growing and I can’t wait to start expanding! I have so much product and so many plans for the store! I’m so excited! I have also been playing with the layout of the blog (if you haven’t noticed).

Happy July everyone!
