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.

OMFG Us Airways! $@#$#$ I AM SO…

I just went to pull out a sweater to wear for dinner, pulled it over my head and noticed an intense Bond No. 9 Park Avenue smell. At first I thought I just sprayed too much on the last time I wore it, I’ve been known to be excessive at times, then I realized with horror that US Airways has managed to break BOTH my new big beautiful bottles of Bond No. 9 (Harlem/Park Avenue - my favs!) a gift I received right before I left for the airport, which is the only reason why I risked them in the suitcase…I had no choice and FAA wouldn’t permit them in my carry-on. They were in their original boxes and yet somehow are totally crushed.

US Air: 500, Me: 0.

Side note: I’m super picky about fragrances, but Bond No 9  is a favorite. Their fragrances, lotions & candles are absolutely amazing, and much more original than anything you’d find at the Sephora fragrance bar. I have tried almost all of them and think they are awesome. Just don’t pack them in your suitcase.
