Memoirs from New York ~ Fedi & I

One of the reasons of my absence from the blogsphere is that I have grown increasingly frustrated and impatient with the slowness of blogspot. My blog is mostly a photoblog, and every time I want to upload a photo, it takes aaaaages. I just can't bear spending minutes and minutes becoming hours waiting and waiting. As I said, this is only one of the reasons... Another has to do with how I lately feel - chatless & confused... Anyhow, I have decided to post my photos from my mesmeric trip to NYC at the beginning of the Summer in phases. I want to start with some portraits of myself and fellow-traveller as our union made this trip special...

the proof we were really in NYC (or was it Las Vegas?) On the Empire State Building's roof. Poor Fede was dizzy

I  you, fedi!

my 23rd b'day

I spent a flashing b'day weekend doing the things I mostly like doing when in londinian staycation mode: breakfast in Queen's Park bakery, buying art and fashion books at the local independent bookshop, the Wizard of Oz musical in Southbank, roller-disco and Hadrian exhibit at the British Museum...

Roller-disco was fun if not a bit *repetitive* after going round and round and round for four hours surrounded by people whose only association with the 80s was their year of birth... however, roller-disco confirmed my love for this sport... I wanna be a Skating Queen!
