The Lady embarked on a near-impossible quest this weekend - dressing me up to her level of fashion. This, of course, means I have to abandon my well-honed "I'm A Slob" wardrobe line that's been in use for the last 4 or 5 years.
Yesterday afternoon was an instructive 2 hours at Macy's, learning how to dress "sexy". I got to say, at the end of it all, I do look a whole lot better (ignore the bad angles and the weird looks on my face ... I always tend to blink when the flash goes off ... does anyone have any tips on how to avoid that??)
I spent a good hour this afternoon tossing out a lot of old clothes that I never wear anymore. I can't wait for the next lesson in fashion sense.
And yes Vee, I know ... "frou frou" :-)
By the way, those photos were taken at the Amsterdam Theater on 42nd and Broadway. The Lady and I went to see Mary Poppins. Excellent show - good production, FX, lively and funny cast members ... good family fun all round. If you're in New York, you must put this on the list of things to do. I didn't think I'd remember quite so many songs, but such iconic songs tend to bubble up from the buried depths of one's soul.
what? what?? i didn't say a thing..

Check out this artist called Niraj Chag (2 songs - Khwaab and Bangles).
Also Nitin Sawhney (1 songs - Nadia).
And Tinariwen (1 album - Aman Iman).
I was in the mood for blues (Tinariwen are the African blues, in the vein of Ali Farka) and some ... indian-esq music...
