After imbibing late night with a crop of French, Italian, Filipino, and American models who all came to New York and stayed...cause there was no other place to be, I woke to driving, freezing, exhausting rain, my entire front soaked in dirty water, and wondered if they were as in love with the city today.
Despite my dire need for a regenerative respite, I felt like a New Yorker the first five minutes I was here.
I can't wait to leave her for a spell, only to come back home....
My vacation starts now.
