Sisters.
This is Erin.
She went and had herself a 30th birthday over the weekend and threw one hell of an Oscar-themed party. (pics from the party)
Here’s what I know about Erin.
She is quite possibly the sweetest person I know. She is kind and gentle, she listens and loves. She is thoughtful and sincere. She is a dreamer, and she dreams big. She’s determined and perseveres. She is stronger than she realizes.
Erin is an inspiration to me. I push forward, because she does. I think the impossible is possible, because she does. I challenge myself to pursue my passion, because she does.
I am ridiculously lucky to call her one of my closest friends. And I truly, truly hope that this 30th year brings more to her life than she could have imagined.
Happy Birthday, Erin.
Everything that Lauren said. Really, I definitely couldn’t say it more eloquently, so I won’t.
Erin - you are a fantastic friend, a constant inspiration, a smart, beautiful, ambitious, creative, imaginative, kind hearted, warm, loyal friend. I can’t imagine my NY life (or my life in general) without you. Thank you for being my friend. I am so lucky.
I can’t wait to see what 2010 holds for you. I’m sure it will be magical. I look forward to many more nights, adventures, and memories unfolding with you. xxo
So I would like to thank what this film is about for me which are the moms that take care of the babies and the children no matter where they come from. Those moms and parents never get thanked. I, in particular, failed to thank one.
So… if I can take this moment to thank Helga B. for not letting me ride in cars with boys until I was 18 because she was right. I would’ve done what she said I was gonna do. For making me practice every day when I got home. Piano, ballet, whatever it is I wanted to be. She said to be an artist, you had to practice every day, and for reminding her daughters that there’s no race, no religion, no class system, no color, nothing, no sexual orientation that makes us better than anyone else. We are all deserving of love. So, to that trailblazer, who allowed me to have that. And this.”

I cried. So well deserved. Love her.

Love this feature in NY Mag on Camden, Maine and how it is becoming a Napa-ish hub of amazing food, cute places to stay, and fun little adventures. Bookmarking this for this spring when I will convince a man to take me here for a weekend.
A classic old faithful standby. Delish.
Muse at MSG last night. To say that this show was amazing is an understatement. Easily in my top 5 shows ever. Even ranks above Britney ;)
