adventures of mascarah.

I've just begun a new decade. Sigh.

I have always wanted to be "a writer" but I'm lost somewhere in the prologue...whittling away at a story I may never tell.

Likes: pop culture. my chihuahua. architecture. modern art. elizabeth street. contemporary designer apparel. food. travel. foreign films. speakeasys. live music. politics. hot sauce. surprises. running in the rain. strangers. wednesdays. fearlessness...and 100s of other random things... maybe even you.

A southerner by birth, northerner by the grace of God, I'm simply a nyc gal who is lost somewhere on my constant exploration of the city and the life,love, and pursuit found within it.

Yesterday the girls and I were discussing how much we bought because we read it on someone’s blog - clothing, perfume, movie tickets, concert tickets, home decor…it all seems to be fair game.

How many things do you think you’ve purchased because you read about them on a blog? Any notable examples?

Just doing some informal (curious-based) market research on blogging influence.
