Just Another Day in NYC
I got about a dozen fashion ideas. And that's just during a three-block walk in mid-town Manhattan.
Over the course of three days, I probably received 4 or 5 kissy noises, crude comments, or whistles from men on the street. Fifteen years ago, that used to infuriate me. Today, it just makes me laugh.
I walked into the middle of an ESPN live broadcast in Grand Central. I was so oblivious, I couldn't understand why the young guy was saying "Move over there! Please!"
During dinner with a friend, I was able to hear three different languages other than English being spoken around us.
I shared a ride to work with about 1,000 other people. Yet we still were able to avoid eye contact and stay completely silent.
Drinks at a new, hip, rooftop lounge in Manhattan is more than an outing. It's an experience.
I must congratulate the women of NY. They are looking simply stunning this summer (I'm loving the current summer fashions). The men, however...c'mon now! Getting a bit too sloppy.
I walked down the same street as John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. A female colleague and I were meeting with some local business managers. I was shocked to experience the blatant, Brooklyn-style flirting the men laid on us.
I saw NYC's latest art installation- the Waterfalls, near the Brooklyn Bridge. No offense, New York, but it was kinda like a giant fire hydrant that was left on.
Never know what to expect here. That's why I love it.
Yeah, I am SO not enjoying current male fashion trends. I don't exactly like the metrosexual, overly coiffed look, but something a bit more put together than what I've been seeing.

All that in one day? Are you planning to see any shows while in town?
Hope you are keeping cool - you fashionable thing you. Enjoy the visit! I wish I were around I could buy you a drink.
Raincheck?!
Sounds like you are taking full advantage of The Big Apple. How about some pictures of the latest female fashion, please!
gary- that's right, you live in NY part of the time, don't you? Would love to meet up- I go there about once a month for work.
Oh- and no, it was actually three days :)
barbara- I don't do too much tourist-y stuff when I'm there. It's all work, and getting together with friends...
Now, if you and Gary meet up, be sure to call me! :)
Guys ARE sloppy these days. What's up with that?
Steve- definitely! you live there too, don't you?
