While having Bellinis at a hotel bar in Paris, I pointed out that there were little notepads and pencils on all the tables. I wondered if they were for the kind of peeps who would be hashing out some kind of multi-billion-euro business deal over drinks. Those peeps always need a pad for writing lots [...]

Last night, I decided to go with a tough biker chick look for our eighth wedding anniversary dinner at Balthazar. Here I am in my leather vest, hanging around with some graffiti and [...]

They live in Vancouver but just happened to be visiting Paris at the right moment. Oddly, we all enjoyed discussing this episode of Family Guy over dinner. MrB took this picture of [...]

We took the Eurostar to Paris, in the company of five fiendishly loud children. Their parents seemed unperturbed by the constant uproar. I didn’t share their apathy, and spent the whole time wishing gorgeous blogger Kate were there to get the situation under control.

I first went to London when I was 15. During that trip, I bleached my bangs blonde and got my left ear pierced for a second time. When I arrived home, my mother was very upset about these things. Good thing I didn’t tell her that I smooched a 20-something guy during the whole flight [...]

MrB and I arrived in London this morning in time for a day full of thunderstorms, redeemed by dinner with our gorgeous friends Bruce, Michele and Dave at Hix Oyster & Chop House. At one point, I excused myself to visit the ladies’ room, where I puzzled over a framed drawing in one of the [...]

Gorgeous blogger Princess Poochie came to New York this weekend, and I was delighted to spend quality time with her. We took a mini-jaunt to Riverdale to visit my gorgeous friends Jen and Amanda. I was most entertained by the name of the train stop — Spuyten Duyvil — which is an old Dutch phrase [...]

At dinner last night, my gorgeous friend Angela had the bartender do a customized margarita in my honor. We haven’t finalized the recipe yet, so I can’t reveal the blog-inspired name of my drink. It’s not the WendyB. Drink by AngelaTop by Francis by Christian Francis Roth Enchiladas by Papatzul
