She keeps a box of dinner party records of her guests. She loves homewares and has perfected the Reuben. Her blog features wisps of poetry and treatises of modern life. The cities of the future are in her hands.

Describe a time you felt like Babette from Babette's Feast: In late summer 2010 I got to prepare the table for a filming of a dinner of local food experts in my family’s orchard. When one of the guests didn’t show up, then I got to be one of the guests. YAY!!

I too love red patent leather when not hookerish. My zebra-striped Hello Kitty rainboots say "unlikely to ever be taken seriously as a hooker."
i have black patent sandals with a one-inch heel (the highest i go). i always say they are "cooter's mom's sandals" though i have never met cooter's mom. he was a colorful fellow from college. his mother was described to me as having nice legs and i think she is from south america. so, they are her sandals. but i wear them a couple times a year and feel pretty jazzy.
