There is about 9 days left to Halloween and I still haven't found THE costume. So yesterday I went to my local party store in hopes of finding the pErfect outfit. You had your nurses uniform, Elvira get-up, hippy chick, witch-drab, Xena-wannabe, gangster (not gangsta) wear, and other crap. So if this is going to be my first time of celebrating this event I need to find something grand but sensible. It is going very cold that day so NO I will not wear a skirt. This isn't California! In anticipation of the Village Halloween Party, which I will also be attending for the first time, I should just take note of the outrageous outfits (if not drag wear) of this year's parade and think of a better one for next year.


I was looking at the top of my closet this morning and realized the loads of books I have just collecting dust. Obviously they need to be read. Obviously. So my "currently reading" section will be filled as I am attempting to read 5 or more books at once. My latest conquest it Basquiat: A Quick Killing In Art by Phoebe Hoban. I started reading it a few months back but found another book (which I can't recall) to be a better read. As I am nearing the end of the book and I realized that I STILL do not know Basquiat. i guess only his close friends can know who he was. The author, although thorough in her research on Jean-Michel, missed something along the way. It seems I was reading cut and paste quotes from people who knew Basquiat, his drug problem, and his idiosyncrasies.







As a Details reader, I find the "new" magazine to be filled with interesting articles and gadgets reviews to keep any man or women satisfied. I haven't renewed my subscription and missed a month or two but Details was right on my tail, as they should be. They sent a very nice package on how I should subscribe:

Finally, there's a new magazine for men that's as smart and sophisticated as you are.

How could I pass up such a thing!! So what if I just toss the Free messenger bag aside when I receive it. And so what if in the "Why Not?" section of their wonderful packaging they thought I was the "type of man the all-new DETAILS is written and designed for. Smart. Savvy. Sophisticated."

Because I am about to save over 66% off the cover price, which is like getting 6 issues free! For sure!
