Broad Exhibit.

Today was a good day. First I got my hair done. Then Sage & I went to the Broad Exhibit at LACMA . I fancy myself a good photographer too. Check out my shots. And last but not least Sage took me to see Sex and The City. I loved it.

I have such a great husband

Friday Night with Rami & Friends

We went to dinner Friday night with Theresa(Tree Clothing), Alan and Mike to Canele. Much to my delight we ran into Rami, his gorgeous boyfriend Jeff and friends. Luckily they were sitting at the communal table with just enough seats for us. We had a great time and a fabulous dinner. I highly recommend the beef tenderloin.

Pants

I read this great article in the June issue of Vogue. The New Pant pg. 84. 

 "Something peculiar is going on with pants, as no female with an eye for a well cut trouser can have failed to notice.In unavoidable numbers of collections, crotch levels for summer plummeted to somewhere between mid-thigh and mid-calf, so that on some runways, the models were walking with the fabric bagges, bunched and looped low between their legs. Speaking purely for myself, I was aghast." 

It goes on to mention the designers that showed these pants. Among them were Phillip Lim ( whom I adore) , Gucci, YSL, Oliver Theyskens and Marc Jacobs.

 "Both Pilati and Marc Jacobs, meanwhile, were of a mind to try pleats, combined in some instances with giant curved volumes on the outside of the leg."

 Sounds like my pant I showed at Bryant Park. See above photo. I guess I am in good company!
