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.

I think I learned about Jews when I was about 11. (I was raised an atheist; all I really knew was that going to church was lame but necessary on rare occasions.) From then until age 17 or so I was kind of obsessed with Jewish boys. Give me a ‘fro and a -stein and I was in heaven.

(PS: No, I can date the Jew-love to much earlier. My dad’s business partner was a Zionist. He had a son named Micah who was a year older than me and super-cute. We’d go over to their house for Passover. Just the thought of cardboard matzoh bread gets me hot to this day.)

I am Jewish. I think I learned about Christians when I moved to North Carolina and saw Billy Graham on tv for the first time. I can still remember that moment. I could honestly not believe it.
