The noontime challenge
This is Megan's location on Fri. at noontime in NYC -on the sewing room floor and waiting for a bra hot off the machine. And the pic of the rack is Megan's location 15 minutes later showing ALL of those garments to people. By the end of the day I just want to lie around naked.Friday, February 15, 2008
Dang it
Dang it - My delicious lunch will not be appearing here on our blog. Turns out Dad's camera thingy won't download into my computer or printer so the photos we snapped during lunch will have to come later. Today at lunch I was at my desk, Dad on the other side, Nellie underneath. Martina our Chinese chef/Wonder-Assistant made us some authentic Chinese peasant food: A bowl of rice with pieces of Chinese sausage steamed in it and a plate of "garnishes". Basically a plate full of yummy steamed bok choy drizzled with oyster sauce, lots root, shitake mushrooms and bean sticks sautéed together. I of course had to have a side of my favorite sriracha hot sauce for dipping, and a steaming cup of black tea. It was sooooooooo delicious. Martina came in and described how we should hold the bowls up to our mouths and just shovel it in - periodically adding more garnishes according to our whim. How lucky are we to have lunch made by Martina every day! Dad and I chatted about his recent trip to a composting conference in San Francisco and also about upcoming projects. What did you all do?
An entertaining lunch
I had a charming little surprise visitor today. We sat down to a very civilized, well-balanced lunch .
As a little warm-up, silly carrot tricks were performed.
Things got a little out of hand and the milk was turned over. Hint : the culprit was NOT Rhys !To calm things down a little, Rhys entertained me with the above.
Next, some lovely pickled onion jewelry was created.And then things got totally out of hand and that was the end of our very entertaining lunch.

Friday Challenge
While lunching with Leo T. today, I was wondering where you were having lunch and with whom. So here's my challenge : post a picture of your middle- of-the-day surroundings today. Let's see - and read - what you are up to.A Valentine's Day in the Life
The two pics of me are tests of outfits to wear to Wilhelmina to meet my agents for the first time! I was so psyched to get all dolled up and go - (I chose the olive dress with belt since it was more winter appropriate.) Of course, the day I was ready to meet them they weren't ready for me and couldn't come out of a meeting. The following visit I was wearing just jeans and a shirt and of course, had the big meeting. Next time I will be prepared for maximum stealth glamour. For inspiration on looking cute in the city no matter what the occasion go to one of my favorite blogs, thesartorialist.blogspot.com
The bras are weartests that I am taking back to the respective companies tomorrow. Part of my job entails wearing bras that aren't in the marketplace yet and give the designers feedback as to how they fit, feel and stand up to my laundromat washer and dryer (ie. shrinkage, piling, etc..) So there are always bras in my purse, on the floor, in the wash - jesus, this is like cat in the hat. The credit card like thingies are the pre-paid cards for the washer and dryer.
Inspired by mom's beautiful pictures (hey em I am loving the re-arranged dining room! It looks so formal and elegant - way to go) I am posting a few from my day in the life...in no particular order. This is the big vase with new paperwhites which I just started last week. I'm so psyched to have the aroma and a little hint of spring especially in light of the winter blast we just got in nyc. The vase is on the cabinet next to the computer table.
Happy Valentine's Day Mom and Em! I love you both and hope you have a great day today.
