WHO NEEDS AN AUDIENCE?

Tuesday last, I received an oversized parcel from CK Dexter Haven.  The accompanying handwritten note said simply, “Meet a Kindred Spirit – Enjoy, CKDH”  The box contained a flat package swaddled in a Nicole Miller Home navy faux fur blanket and secured by a delightful white bow.   CKDH, a playwright hailing from Philadelphia, insists that “life is a production” and as such greatly benefits by appropriate hair, makeup and wardrobe.  Agreed!  So, before the official unveiling, I thought it best to hide my pin curls under a black velvet turban embossed with the wording FASHION STAR and slip on my fav Kimono- this one in silk satin with an image of Pam Greer- a la “Coffy“ stitched on the back .  I also thought it would be completely in character to fortify my vanilla chai tea with a few fingers of Pinnacle Salted Caramel vodka.  Now appropriate, I unwrapped my surprise with the type of glee reserved for Tiffany blue boxes on an early Christmas morn.  

CKDH knows me well.  Thus, his gift was sonnet worthy:  an original signed painting by Margaret Keane featuring a beautiful, grinning wide eyed baby girl.  

Working from home has its privileges and affords a myriad of creative styling opportunities befitting any project, mood, or UPS delivery.  

Who Needs An Audience?

Darlings, don’t miss Tim Burton’s newest movie, “Big Eyes” documenting the triumph of  artist Margaret Keane who successfully sued her husband, Walter Keane for slander after he plagiarized her art for over 13 years.
