There really is never any reason to go to the Staten Island Mall EXCEPT for the fact that they have a Hello Kitty Vending Machine. YES! A HELLO KITTY VENDING MACHINE. And, yes, I do realize I have added a "Hello Kitty" post in the "Groovy Gals" section but if Hello Kitty isn't a Groovy Gal well, I don't know who is!
PS. LOVE HER!
Love her
My sister is much cooler than me so she is always attending these trendy Brooklyn things. This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of accompanying her to Brooklyn Fire Proof where, after a great meal and yummy cocktails (sister paid for every little thing!!), we went to Artist Valerie Triantis' amazing exhibit in the attached room. Below is a pic of one of her amazing paintings - one of her collection actually not shown this Saturday. I did take lots of pics of the artwork there (with her permission, of course) but the images came out so crappy I dare not put them up! Anyway, I love Valeri's talent and energy and definitely consider her an inspiration! Once you check her out you will, too. Promise.
Listen to Easy from Now On and Two More Bottle of Wine and tell me how much you love her.

Paige Adams-Geller is the Founder and Creative Director of Paige Denim, a high-fashion boutique offering gorgeous lines of clothes for men & women alike. But, this chick has a lot more than good fashion sense. The fabulous Paige created a limited edition gray pair of "Gail" (named after the clothing house's Director) wash jeans with 100% of all sale revenue supporting The Rape Foundation's Capital Campaign. 100%! This cause is clearly dear to Paige's heart as she is herself a survivor of rape. Thank you Paige for your courage, generosity and inspiration!
Ertharin Cousin is the Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Program. Not bad lady, not bad!
