sushi, lyndsay, chris, me, julie, tobell
you know, i never grew up with a thanksgiving holiday, so in 2007 when i experienced my first thanksgiving break, well, i spent it in bed. (i take sleeping very seriously.) i mean, i appreciate my life and thanked god for everything i had, but yeah, that was about it! a few friends invited me to their houses but they were all pretty far and i didn’t actually want to spend like a hundred bucks to impose on huge families whom i didn’t know.
so last thanksgiving, while interning at patricia field, they invited me to have thanksgiving dinner with them at gordon ramsay’s maze restaurant at the london. (the london in new york. just don’t get it.) it kind of made sense – none of us were from new york, we were all far away from home and didn’t have families here to celebrate the day with. so we celebrated it together.

after dinner, sushi, artie, tobell, moto and i went for drinks at a pretty bar where sushi tried to make me chat up some asian dude. he insisted that if i didn’t come back in 5 minutes with a number, that i was fired. and he was quite serious about it. i refused and wanted to report him to the union. except that i’m not in any unions and do they even have one for interns?
the next day was black friday and tobell performed a little number at the store. it was so cool! i love her. although i pitied the poor, cute little japanese customer who was used a target for her song!
and yes the retard who keeps laughing is me.
then ian and omar did an impromptu dance when beyonce’s “single ladies” came up on the radio. they’re so amazing!!! omar was drunk. and ian probably watched her original video 2 million times, but still, i can’t dance like that to save my life!
don’t you just wish you had talent to be as fluid as the two of them? i have like, 3 dance moves! hahahahaha!
extra! extra! read all about it!

I love your blonde hair, I think it suits you quite well n_n.
Oh yeah that scarf + the coat = WIN!!!
Kisses.
Mmm that dinner looks delicious! Glad to see you’re back posting, though I’m sorry to hear what a toll your studies are taking on you. I hope things get better and you have more time for fun (and sleep!)

Another post, just finished reading the previous one. Playing catchup eh ?
I’ve got a rabbit, can you make me a scarf?
*sigh* I wish I could dance like that. Good to see you back posting. Sorry you now reside in hell though, back zip code…
gilda you’re back?!!!
i was going through my google reader and when i saw (2) next to your side i went ballistic!
it’s really good to hear that you are well although a bit busy with school, but that will pass. the hardwork and hardyards are now so that you can create a fabulous vibrant future.
you look gorgeous, and colourful as always!
Awesome coat and nice meeting you!
gilda! you are back
glad to see you are busy but good and looking gorgeous!
your hair is so beautiful!
how do you get it to be such a nice shade of blonde? i’ve tried before and ended up with orange hair!
Yay, Gilda! I’m so glad you’re back!
You looked super elegant at thanksgiving, puuuuuuuurty!
I want to hag Ian and Omar, I am in super-love with them!
Missed you x
Wow, you are just so adorable! Great pics x

oh that killer scarf? i’m surprised no one has said anything about it yet when i wear it. that’s real rabbit. the other day i wore a faux fur jacket that cost me like $14 from patricia field, and someone on the train screamed that i was a murderer!! wtf! i was like, cool it yo, it’s fake! good grief.

yeah that dinner was soooo goood!!! and it was only like $75! i think i paid just under $100 including a couple of drinks. not bad at all, considering it was like a 5 or 6 course meal. all the dishes came and they were so tiny and i thought i’d have to go to mcdonalds after the meal, but they filled me up proper with the main course!

yeah i’m the new blogging machine. watch out. HAHAAH. and NO, i can’t make you a rabbit scarf. you can’t make things out of your own pet! it has to be a rabbit that you don’t know! and i can’t even imagine you having a rabbit. hahaha.

what’s hardyard? never heard that. but you sound like my papa. AHhaha! j/k. he’s like, “you wanted to do this so you better stick with it until you’re over!” dammit. how have you been!!
+wendyb+
thanks!! did you leave early the other night? i wanted to go talk to you but couldn’t find you after a while!
+happy d?+
did you do it yourself?
orange hair?? ouch! well it was first bleached and then i applied an ash toner onto it so it wouldn’t look so yellow. i’m not sure how your hair ended up orange though…
+sheena+
hahha yeah that’s what they all said! (my work friends) they were like, “omg you’re in a proper dress!!!” aren’t omar and ian the cutest? i love them to bits.
