Oscars, Pret-a-Porter and other things

First off, in answer to Kathedral, yes the cold is gone. I am feeling better and am very psyched because I have a 1/2 day at the spa booked for Friday and am just dying for my massage.

Things that are new... Exercising. BC and I have a trainer. It's more fun than I thought it would be. I have a feeling that if I had to go by myself I would have already quit but we push each other and commiserate together when it's over. Less commiserating now though than in the beginning when we couldn't move for two days after a session.

Academy Awards... If you come over to our house on Oscar Night you are obligated to make your picks in advance. Usually it's only me, BC and SF. There was an upset this year, I finally won!!! Which is sad when you consider that I have not seen any of the movies. Not one, excepting Memoirs of a Geisha which deservedly won for Best Costumes.

I had my 4th 29th Birthday. Got some excellent presents. Two specialty TV channels for a year (Discovery Civilizations and Fashion TV obviously), a great book on Roman Art and Architecture; Chanel; the 1/2 day at the Spa; dinner at Susur (an incomprable meal!, my new favourite restaurant, if only it didn't cost slightly less than a week's salary); and the publication that has my drawings of small finds from way back when I was an idealistic Archaeology Student.

Our ISP was down over the weekend and I haven't yet examined the F/W Ready to Wear collections, but of what I've seen I must say that I am not really fond of the Chanel thigh high boots. Perhaps this is because I am not a 22 year-old with matchstick thighs who hasn't eaten since her sweet sixteen party. Love these shoes from Miu Miu and normally I am, at best, so so on Miuccia Prada's work.

So pretty... when do they hit the stores???











P.S. Does any one have a translation/transcription of Three 6 Mafia's acceptance speech? I'm curious as to what they actually said.
