Many thanks to the fabulous Nicki, who has certainly been busy promoting her strikingly cool anthology, The May Queen (which is a way worthwhile endeavor, even if I sometimes wish we could just chill at Balthazar every night). Keep up via the 3 Things Before 40 blog (and contribute for a chance to win glam prizes!).
And also, two snaps up for May Queen contributor Kim Askew and her Marie Antoinette playlist, posted at KimSaid. Even the New York Times is on point for once. Sacrebleu!
Previously: Theresa L. Duncan, Deanne Pearson.
Darling, I would rather talk with that Lauren C. at Balthazar. She's so fabulously charming with those peppered profanities. Vraiment.
