well darlings
this tired cowgirl has actually been far too busy catering weddings
running to meet nervous and NEUROTIC BRIDES!!, paying bills, ordering food,
and a thousand other things to even think about politics, the world, the economy or anything else for that matter
hell i haven't even had a chance to shave my legs
and trust me honey...they are starting to look SCARY..
sigh
the glamorous life of a NYC caterer
but on other news
two truly exciting things have happened in my creative life
neither of which shall i mention now
cause i don't want to jinx myself
but both would entail
this saucy lady
being center stage in a whole lotta good attention
when and if these things happen i will let you know
but till then im shutting up
and talking to my higher power
on other news
ive been spending a whole lot of time in Asbury Park New Jersey lately
the town (they call it a city but no way honeys its a town)
that was the highlight of my week as a kid
rides, amusements, skeeball, the board walk, cotton candy
was the highlight of my week as a teen
(clubs that didn't ask me for ID)
but fell into the most horrible ruin
a sad decaying dinasaur of a forgotten era
but Asbury
is now
finally bouncing back
and hopefully the big developers will restore it to its GLORY DAYS
not knock down the deco structures and put up
boring new buildings
anyway
ive watched citys and towns rise and fall before
its actually the reason i now know i am officially no longer a spring chicken
but rather a fall chicken
i saw miami fall, remember the last bits of its jewishy catskills ish era
and then krapolah, crime and cocaine
but then i watched it rise again
and rise and rise
its till rising
just amazing
i watched asbury park, fall, fall, fall, fall, honey it fell for a long ass time
and a few fake risings that fell flat on their tuchas
but now thanks to a grass roots movement by the gay community
its rising for real
and its exciting to watch
thrilling really
reminds me a bit of what its been like to watch the east village here in manhattan rise up
come on and rise up
and oh FYI
that Bruce song (and no i am not a Bruce fan) my city in ruins
was actually written for Asbury Park
who knew?
anyway
im little annie architecture these days
watching the rising of fallen angels
its nice
really
Ill keep you posted
