Happy Birthday, Manolo Blahnik!


Today we honor the master! I believe it was Joan Rivers who once described his shoes as "Park Avenue fuck-me pumps." In any case, you should celebrate by buying me these, the most perfect pair of shoes ever designed. I take a 38.5.

    I concur, don't let me do the decorating!!!
    When it comes to asthetics, I confess I lack any ability to judge good from bad.. That is why I don't dress the kids without vetting my decisions through Mamacita first.

    I don't recall caring about wall colors. Perhaps she proposed painting the walls grey and I commented that it was "too trendy". If that was the case, I meant "Painting walls is too trendy", not any specific color.
    IMHO, walls should stay the same color they were when I arrive( unless someone else wants to volunteer to do the painting.)
    I personally find our "white w/peanutbutter fingerprint accent" walls near perfect.

Reading/ Watching/ Listening

 Reading: The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. I didn't like it nearly as much as A Gentleman in Moscow . In fact, I liked it only barely enough to keep reading. Watching: Poker Face , on Peacock. Papi and I have enjoyed watching this, one episode at a time, and not every day. It's a little formulaic, but the sets and the guest stars are fun. I like that it changes scenery every episode. Listening to: The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM. Ever since watching Get Back , the Beatles documentary, I've enjoyed listening to them with new ears.
