September 20, 2010
Seemingly no computer woes! Hurrah!
We escaped the bonds of suburbia on Saturday and ventured south to Palm Beach and the mercantile delights therein. We did a little window shopping, and here at Betsey Johnson saw a dress that the Pouting Princess would countenance. My, Betsey's designs have changed! When I was in high school and prowling Greenwich Village looking for second hand jeans and dance wear, I remember a shop featuring Betsey's wild (rubber) designs. It was just around the corner from Danskin, Earth Shoes and an Orange Julius. It's good to see that her innovative work has evolved and thrived.
Announcements:
1. Think kindly of Christopher Hitchens today. Witty, acerbic, volable and volatile wordsmith.
2. My friend Meg Winter is offering her fifth year of after-school art classes for children from 5-13 at The Elliott Museum. Her class starts this Thursday, from 4:30 - 5:45. She will be working in all media - watercolors, acrylics, charcoal, clay and pastels. If you are interested, please call the Elliott at 225-1961, X111.
