The Glamourous New York City Gals' DO's and DONT'S for Not Getting Away this Summer.

 

Staycation(Stay - ka'- shun) generally means a vacation spent close to home. It doesn't mean you stay right in your home, but it means you stay close to home. (in fact, pretty darn close to home).

 

 As my dear friend Donald Trump used to say repeatedly, even running a full-page ad in New York Times one year in the late 80's stating, "New York City is for the people who pay to live here.  So, if you can't afford to live here.. LEAVE."  (READ ON)

I strongly suggest you trust no monkey.  My name is Michelle and this is my story...

When I was growing up, the Sanyour's, a family who lived about a half mile down the street and around the corner, kept a cute 'ol Spider Monkey named Cookie in the laundry room.  Gosh, did we ever love her...

We dressed her up like Buffy from A Family Affair, looping her flyaway hair into two high ponytails with polka dot silk print bows on either side.  We would make curly cues out of her wiry monkey hair, thinking she resembled Cindy from the Brady Bunch (...I'm showing a little of my age here, I apologize). ..(READ ON)

So imagine my sheer pleasure while watching today's New York Marathon, when I ran into Marianna, still wearing her Wonder Woman costume two days later and seriously grooving to the beats of her boyfriend's band Superman's Guest List.  (READ ON)

After having carefully combed a number of the costume stores around the city earlier this week looking for just the right get up, something dawned on me...  How come there are no Hillary Clinton Halloween Costumes? Strange?

 

Yes, there were plenty of Sarah Palin ones.  Like there was one with a star spangled bikini coupled with a cheap cardboard crown and a Miss Alaska banner that goes across the body. (READ ON)

and I was sooo hoping to make his "Best Dressed List" this year... 

 

Well, folks, a long and fully fashionable life came to an end earlier this week, with the passing of Mr. Blackwell.  He was 86.

 

His legacy of who was "Best Dressed" and who was "Worst Dressed" has an iconic ring to those of us who obsess about what the truly fabulous do with their fabulous-ness.  Consequently, the serious notion of actually compiling a list of people, based solely around the hollow principle of how they dress, in a cumulative way, or at a given event, was made popular by Mr. Blackwell.  What followed? : (READ ON)
