narcissa
narcissa || 21 cooper square, ny ny 10005 || (212)228-3344
a new, sophisticated, delicious addition to the east village is that of narcissa, located inside the standard hotel in cooper square. as you make your way to the restaurant, you’ll be sure to find some notable decor reminiscent of pleasant pastimes…
take a little journey into the time machine
atoms + molecules + the love you had for the periodic table
forgive me, i’ve forgotten what cocktail this was, but surely i started with the whiskey option and it was fabulous.
take me to tulum. tequila-based. delish.
the menu is sure to be satisfactory, carefully created by a michelin star chef, john fraser.
the dish that stood out:
barley risotto with littleneck clams.
i usually cringe at the thought of risotto because i internally calculate how many more minutes of cardio i must do to work it off + the sloth-who-overdosed-on-heavy-cream feeling afterwards, but this…bravo mister chef! it was the perfect rendition of risotto.
beet salad – solid. great.
tuna sashimi jalapeno in a cucumber-basil water
fluke crudo. light and refreshing.
now for the mains i tried…
herb-roasted duck breast. wonderful. must-get especially if you love duck.
maine scallops. flavored well but i always prefer scallops raw over cooked, so i can’t say i loved this. anyone with the same preferences should request it to be seared instead.
and finally, dessert…
riesling poached white peach on a vanilla cream + pistachio amaretti. so delicate, so pretty.
assorted fruit plate. perhaps one of my favorite fruit plates as of late, since they include a more interesting selection than what you can find in the normal household.
photobooth downstairs? why not.
tricky stairwell you must trek in order to use the loo? sure, but first, lemme take a full-body selfie, because i can’t guarantee i’ll be ok afterwards
cheers to narcissa for a delicious dinner!
heart and art
inspiration
“what is bad for your heart is good for your art”
doesn’t mean to abuse your heart, but instead to embrace any predispositions & urges to kick someone in the face negative experiences, and transform it into something positive.
indochine’s 30th anniversary
indochine’s 30th anniversary, cheers!
“you look like sex in the city…but younger.”
i took it as a compliment graciously and hurried off before he could scrutinize the ever-so-classy run on my hosiery.
sometimes i’m ready. sometimes i’m awkward. photo by michael stewart.

photobombed by a pink & sparkly chinese dragon [for good luck and fortune].
i am riding wearing it.
i have enslaved the dragon as my new photo prop
as promised, part 2 [revised 11/12]: more debauchery photos & stories from the actual party inside:
caption contest. notice, guy on the left.
the thing about indochine: this sexy restaurant serving french vietnamese fare has been able to keep their wow factor for their loyal [very fashionable] crowd that keeps returning for more, and it must have some magic to draw in the new, unlike other fleeting venues in new york that come & go, leaving no lasting impressions [like the girl/boy you forgot you ever made out with].
new fave on the menu: sea bass carpaccio topped with wasabi tobiko, microgreens, chili, & a super appetizing citrus dressing.
so m.a.c. cosmetics hosted their big 3-0 birthday bash, themed red decadence. i nibbled on their delicious hors d’oeuvres, mingled with beautiful people, rubbed elbows with designers such as john varvatos, richard chai, and the blonds, watched the performances by company xiv whose artistic director has caught the eyes of even baz luhrmann, so i’ve heard.
there were masks, there were feathers, there were cages, there were sparkly pasties + nipple tassels, and there was a photobooth!
pictured with a photobooth bomber acquaintance
it was a truly glitzy, nipple-revealing glamorous party, dubbed the biggest bash of the year.
and another…thanks michael stewart
and now more flashbacks:
indochine’s 25th anniversary party
shanghai 1920’s theme
the opium den…
the dancers are using chinese weapons as their dancing poles. cute.
pigging out at the party. the usual.
happy 30th birthday, indochine!!!
halloween
masquerade…pretty faces on parade. 
wearing lolli poppit’s tutu + a second tutu underneath to give it more volume. pink metal mask from venice.
i like masquerades but when it comes to halloween, i’m not the most festive. perhaps it’s because almost everyday feels like dress-up for me, like this ballerina look, styling also by lolli poppit & another favorite, liucia:
“is that a watch on your finger or are you just excited to see me?”
as he tried to touch my venetian beak, i pulled away & said, “no i don’t think so.” he pouted underneath his mask, & said in complete dejection, “you suck.” then he scurried off.
off with his head, she said. 
red: the color of hearts, diamonds, love, & death.
and then there’s wolfie, the batdoge, not loving halloween at all, but a decent photo was captured of him half-dressed.
that’s my halloween round-up for you! now cheer yourself up by watching jimmy kimmel’s “i told my kids i ate their halloween candy” challenge.
