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.

If you are so inclined... sap {at} lifelovepursuit.com

  • There are some friends that you couldn’t see for 2.5 years and when you see them it is like no time has passed. Meggan is one of those friends. Our weekend was filled with laughter and love. She is a best friend for life.
  • The Little Mermaid is a great story. It will stand the test of time. Where is Disney and why don’t they do anything of that calibur anymore?
  • French Onion Soup Dumplings & Sugar Donuts @ Stanton Social = perfect meal when paired with a bottle of Pinot Grigio.
  • There is something to be said about the type of woman who can only have 1 good friend at once and is always bouncing around. Meg and I were talking about that and we agree that universally women like that suck.
  • I don’t want to be friends with anyone who doesn’t have a single old-school friend. If you’ve burned all your bridges you are likely going to burn mine too.
  • Carmines is the only good restaurant in Times Square.
  • I never want to be the kind of friend that someone says can’t be counted on. Being unreliable a reliable amount of the time is not cool.
  • I am ready to date again. If I could only find the time…
  • Sometimes a good cry can be completely uplifting.
  • My good friend is teatering on the verge of divorce and it breaks my heart to see what she is going through. Some things you just have to let someone live, you can’t do anything to make it better as much as you want to.
  • People who say they are happy all the time repeatedly, aren’t. If you are happy you don’t need to remind yourself and self-validate. The validation is in the happiness.
  • When Whitney walked away from Jay it was the one redeeming moment of The City this season (minus Janey/Erin/my Regulator dance moment in the New Years episode).
  • It is so hard to know when to stay and when to go sometimes, but you always have to be willing to walk away should that time come…
  • Welcome back, Chuck Bass.
  • It really never is too late to make a (some) change.
