Morning Adorable

Check out Farm Sanctuary they are pretty cool!

Oh thank you Anna

Kudos to Paul for finding this.  Anna Dello Russo for those who don't know is the Editor at Large for Vogue Japan.  She also contributes to Vogue Italia and obviously is extremely talented.  

Happy "Almost" Halloween

Yes

La, lalala, la lalala.

Truth About Cats and Dogs

These guys slay me

Here, There, and Everywhere

Well I made it. Cathryn and I had plenty of time, or so we thought. But as we sat on the Cross Bronx at 8:00 in bummer to bummer traffic I thought my chances of making a 10:00 a.m. flight were looking slim. But something miraculous happened and I had time for a cappuccino in the Porter Lounge at EWR. Nothing quite like a coffee and the New York Times.

I know we are getting close when the Falls come into view

What an indulgent night in town with this man and our fantastic drinks.  At Cantine.  Spent the rest of the night in Yorkville attending the city wedding party of one of Toronto's most dynamic musicians, Ms. Clara Venice.  It was a night of glamour, love and mariachi.  All with good friends.

The rest of the weekend was spent abed in the arms of a man and his chocolate Lab.  But Monday was so beautiful and I was so happy to be in the "old 'hood"  I had to get out and met Lauren, Crystal, and Beef at Fire. The old stomping ground of yore.

                                                               By Wednesday I was back in the tri-state, at MoMa with Joey B, of S.O.T.A fame, and Paul.  These two are the most famous guy I know in New York City.  Joe got me a ticket to see his show at The Cell  - Hard Times, which, by the way, got a fantastic review in the Times.  And Paul is bringing Patty Smith to Toronto in February.

The next week, I was back at it dolled up and going to Gramercy. 

Sometimes timing is just right, and you get to see one of your Toronto favourites in New York, like I did when Ms. Sharron Matthew's world tour stopped at Flute Gramercy.  She looks so great in Gold.

Had a late night dinner with Paul on one of my last nights in town.  It is always nice being at The Club.  I only wish Blackie could be there with us.  Oh and that reminds me I better send my Uncle a check for my bar bill.  This is what being "here" is all about.  

I'd love to ...

Hey Bitch

God I love this Bitch.  

Property Porn

SJP and Matthew Broderick bought this Greenwich Village townhouse last year as a flip project.  They paid $18.9 for it and it is now listed, after extensive renovations, for $25 million.  If they get it they will net a cool 6 mil. profit.  Check it out.  

The couple never moved into the house, according to the Daily Mail report.  

 Indicating they always saw the property as a flipper.

 Wouldn't you love to not cook in this beautiful kitchen.

Stunning.

Rare Manhattan outdoor space.

If I could I so would.  Anyone want to lend me a a few million dollars?

Lonely Summer

I've had plenty of time for myself in the last few weeks.  Time to wander NYC and snap touristy photos.  

Like this one

 And this one, just before the sky opened up and poured.  I thought it was fall?

 Fisher man on the pier. 

 And lovers too.

 Nothing says lonely white gal quite like a cat.

 But the work environment is bliss.

 I mean seriously.  It's amazing.

 The Yacht Club makes me happy. 

And so does the vegetarian Indian place downtown, Navaratna. 

This is the best part of the DNC

This is labour

From one metropolis to another

the blues

On the water

Full moon 

Turkeys in the yard

Harbour nights 

Harbour days

Flight of the Concords is.... PRESENT

My new favourite song - still spelling Canadian

Thanks Andy

One last time around the horn

 Made it to Wonderland this summer.  Leviathan is epic!

 There's Justin wandering the park!

Mason found a new favourite place to hang.   

Let's go Blue Jays

 August long weekend at the Connor Cottage.  It wouldn't be complete without an all-night Euchre game.

Spent a week in Markdale with the Guy.  Loved our hike to Innis Falls

 And the Keady Farmer's Market.  I have never seen so many Mennonites.

Andy built the deck with his dad. Love a man who is good with his hands.

Second to last night in town with some of my favourite people at the Havelock Hotel.  I miss you already Crystal.  

Last night in T.O. Ash, Lo and I went to Blue Rodeo.  Wandered through the EX on our way home.  

Thanks for the great time ladies.  I'll "TRY" to keep it together without you.  

Bill Fucking Murray

Thanks Eclectic Method.  Thanks forever.  

The Best of the 2012 Olympics.

This has got to be the absolute best thing in this years Olympics.  

Okay okay in all seriousness here are some of my favourite memories of the 2012 Olympics.

I shed for real tears when, the The US Women's Gymnasts, anchored by this pint-size power house, won team Gold.

 Gabby Douglas seriously rocks!  And she was so cute on Leno.

My next favourite moment of the Olympics, wasn't really a moment, but rather every moment this guys went for a jog.  In fact, Jamaica in my opinion was a serious winner this Olympics.  I bet if population size and GDP were factors in the Medal ranking by country Jamaica would be the all-around winner.  Anyone know of a ranking system that account for those factors?  Seriously though these guys, cool running'!

And what about Canada's golden lady Rosie MacLennan who won the Country's only Gold Medal this summer. She might have gotten the only gold but she wasn't the only great Canadian Olympian. 

Christine Sinclair is definitely the greatest woman playing soccer anywhere.

And of course there was this.
