that if I added up all of the time I’ve spent on negotiations for tv pilots since 2002 - I could have written a book three books.  And they might not have even sucked!!

That is depressing.

So … I’ve been fairly stressed in the past few weeks, with the move and two really big projects on the horizon, both of which could either die a sweet, sad death in development hell, or could literally change my career.  “Embrace the uncertainty,” a friend of mine told me today.  Yeah, well, he has a stable paycheck and a great girlfriend and a New York lease which won’t end in a week, so perhaps he’s romanticizing uncertainty a bit.
Anyway, for that reason, I’ve been a bit moody incredibly cranky for the past week.  As you might (or might not) have surmised, I’ve curtailed my dating life significantly since Prom King & I broke up in late March, essentially giving it up (with the exception of two or three “recycled” men - guys I’ve dated in the past with whom I’m still great friends.  They don’t count!)
But a certain gentleman from San Francisco sent me a gorgeous bouquet of pink roses today just to make me smile.  I think they’ll last at least until my movers come next week … and they’ll probably be the ONLY thing making me smile when I’m crying my way through the packing!
It’s always nice when people surprise you with sweet, thoughtful gestures. :)

It was Steve Jobs who informed Millard “Mickey” Drexler that he was about to be fired from Gap, a company he had taken from $400 million in annual revenues to $14 billion and from 450 stores to more than 2,000 in the span of 19 years.

Wall Street Journal Magazine - “Mickey Drexler, Retail Therapist

And yet he came back, not just to run J.Crew, but to pretty much totally kill it.

When Drexler took up the reins in 2003, J. Crew had $609 million in debt and 196 stores. Today, it has 321 stores, less than $50 million in debt and $298 million cash on hand.

Revenues went up 107% in a span of five years, from 2003 - 2008.

Not bad for a guy who got fired, eh?

(He’s sill pissed walking past GAP, if you can believe it.)

God I LOVE this display and Love Jcrew for Stepping up their Game!!  That Amaze Gem Necklace on the Bottom I Kinda Need it!!

Dripping with jewels…these are not the windows at Arcleef, but rather those at the J. Crew Collection boutique on 79th and Madison.


Agreed - LOVE LOVE LOVE J. Crew’s new gems.  They’ve been kicking ass since Former GAP CEO Mickey Drexler took over.  His story is a fascinating one, actually, so if you’re not familiar with it, I highly recommend reading the June 2010 WSJ magazine article on him.

One of his first compact homes involved building an abode on a 249 sq. ft. site that was basically a large parking space in Tokyo’s central Jimbocho neighborhood. A 27-year-old woman had inherited the small patch of land, and Kurosaki managed to design a five-story home on the site.

That makes my 422 sq foot studio seem palatial!!

I’m doing a bit of research for a story I’m working on, and I stumbled upon this.  Massively entertaining, this photoshop business!
