New season, new efforts to accept myself. All part of choosing ‘Jollitude’. I do see happiness in my eyes, which surprised me. The stress is lifting. Taking care of ‘me’ is working its magic. That’s cool!

How do things like this happen? Tell me. Is this young girl connected? Is she Anna Wintour’s hidden Daughter or Jeanne Beker’s little sister? Plucked from obsurity into super-fashion-stardom.

There’s just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I’d wipe away all…

I’m such a Law & Order girl. …

It is quite possible that if the ISS – ‘internet secret service’ – confiscated my hard drive (and my external hard drives), they would soon discover that I, Patti Friday, am the person on Earth who searches and views more ‘cake’ images than anyone else dead or alive. I love cake. Oddly enough though, I…

You can switch back and forth from the national and international version, staying up to date with the world. The NY Times also has amazing slide shows, feature articles; a dramatic arts section and…
