Here\u2019s a very weird aspect of my life in NY, that I always forget about until I\u2019m living it: In LA, we all get to go home in-between daytime and nighttime events, and chill, nap, regroup, debrief, change outfits and make-up, whatever. But in NYC, you have to be prepared for every<\/em> event you have all day and night when you leave the house in the morning. And since no one can take their own cars anywhere during the day, (and most of the night, as well,) you have to carry all your accoutrements with you!!! All over town! Even if we do multiple events in LA, which require different attire, we have it all in our vehicles! I\u2019ve often used a car as a changing room here.<\/p>\n As a matter of fact, the first day I was in the Big Apple this trip, I forgot all that because I hadn\u2019t been there for awhile, and was already time-constrained from the minute I exited the plane at almost midnight the night before. So I erroneously assumed I could go back to the Upper East Side after my Midtown event during the day, to change and go back to that same area for an evening Gala. In the rain, no less. When I mentioned that plan to someone at the first<\/em> event, she was horrified and set me straight about my timing snafu. So I had to go buy an entire new outfit for the Gala! That was a definite pain in the butt, but I wound-up with an an adorbs LBD and…an even cuter cotton coat<\/em>!!! (But don\u2019t get all twisted on my behalf\u2014they were both on sale, of course.)<\/p>\n Another view of Manhattan. Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n I do<\/em> plan to share the many tales of my entire crazy trip with you, some of the highlights of which I hope that you’ve already been reading about on here as I’ve gone along. (If not, you can still do that at any time\u2014my daily columns in this e-zine are published in perpetuity.) I had to stay up overnight several times to write about each adventure!<\/p>\n And they’re not done yet. Even though I’m back at home base in Los Angeles, I still have tons of New York experiences to tell you about. So stay tuned in the next couple of weeks for all<\/em> of it.<\/p>\n And then back to LA stories, which I’m sure there will be plenty of. Just after I sleep for a few <\/a>months<\/del> days.<\/p>\n
