Met with friends from Toronto. Had a leisurely lunch at Neue Galerie, chatted, reconnected. Walked to Cooper-Hewitt museum to see the Rococo exhibit - wavy and curly, ornate and feminine, old and new. Very well put together. Miss Rococo blogs, too.

Noguchi was born in 1904 in Los Angeles to Leonie Gilmour, an American writer and Japanese poet Yonejiro (Yone) Noguchi, who had returned to Tokyo earlier […]

ok - I guess every year the women at the US Open have to outdo each other on their tennis outfits. Sharapova comes out with this black evening dress type of thing complete with patent black leather bag?…I’m a tennis fan and player and if you’ve guessed that I play in shorts… you’re onto me.
