This Is Why People Hate Rich People

Things I Am Wearing

I got fershnockered (aka a little tipsy) with one of best friends Michela this past weekend. She is so beautiful, as you can see, and we have fun with our clothes. I miss her everyday now that she lives in Ohio.

Anyhow, sometimes, people ask me what I am wearing, so I think I will start to share a little, some of the things I am loving.

I decided to spruce up this super cheap, but pretty h&m dress with this necklace I bought in Paris last year. I wanted to get a little more edgy and a little less pretty, and this did the trick.

RIP William McNamara

William McNamara was the architect behind the Vietnam war. Afterward, he spent the rest of his life trying to understand what went wrong.

If you have not seen "Fog Of War", now is a good time to see it. It is a good time because we need to say goodbye to a man who was haunted by his decisions and how those decisions had long lasting ramifications.

A person can do what they think is right and then realize that terribly, upon further reflection they were wrong. William McNamara saw the errors of his ways and tried to take away tangible learnings from that so people would not need to relive those mistakes. We could use some more of that humility these days..... It takes a lot of courage to admit that you caused something horrible, even if only a small role.

Happy Birthday: 25 Years Of Purple Rain

I begged my parents to let me see Purple Rain in 1984, it was rated R and I was 13. I got to go because my parents are awesome. While the movie is beyond terrible, this is a classic album and everyone should have it in their collection......

BTW, Erotic City is the best Prince song, sadly, you cannot get a copy online due to the illicit nature. It was the B-side on for Let's Go Crazy... Ahh, vinyl.....
