waist down at Prada SoHo



I am glad the Prada SoHo reopened after that fire and has a nice exhibit of skirts, twirling around on mechanical hangars. Very creative...go see the show, which ends on the 31st.

Prada SoHo inferno


Why did the Prada store burn? How come a five-alarm fire could tear the store apart? It went on for four hours. I doubt there will be shoes on sale any time soon.

Xmas gifts at ABC Carpet & Home



ABC has great gifts...or so it looks...in their full page ad in the Styles section (different from the pic above; the ad has the expensive stuff)...I fell for the felt angel ($22) and the cute handmade puppets ($20)...superb Michel Cluizel chocolates ($25 for 16 pieces)...and these seemed kinda sorta reasonable...but then I took a closer look...an amethyst crystal ($950)...a marble Ganesh sculpture ($2500)....a Venetian waterfall chandelier ($2500)...and I wonder...who gets their honeybunch a marble Ganesh or Venetian waterfall chandelier for Christmas? I mean, hello? It is Christmas, not Hindu Diwali or something like that. Well anyhow the ad is clever, all the gifts form a nice Christmas tree...and then there is that Las Venus lounge chair & ottoman from the 1970s for {gasp} $5950. I'll put that on my list.

NYC vs. Okie barbecue



You New Yorkers seem really happy to have so many new BBQ places, but they just really don't compare. Take it from a Texan, they are kid's stuff imported to the big city. This past weekend, I was up in Oklahoma and we stopped at Jiggs Smoke House, a small place in Clinton OK off the Interstate and old Route 66 (not marked on the highway signs, of course). Well, you walk into this wood shack and the place is full of cowboys having their lunch. Huge plates of lunch. Not the sort of types you'd find in those Manhattan BBQ places eating small plates of stuff. An enormous lunch of pork ribs--that was the day's special--came with potato salad, beans and two slices of bread. No fancy furniture or decorations, just great barbecue, the way life ought to be.
