You look ravishing! Or is it simply ravished?

If you only feel like dropping in to LuxLotus.com from time to time, or want to be notified when I write something new or something divine happens, you can sign up for Luxletters.

These very occasional missives from me to you are delivered right into your hot little hands via the wonders of the digital age and feature the best bits of the past week or two or six and whatever's on my mind when I am typing. I definitely see them as a complement rather than a substitute for our little trysts here, but darling, this is America, and it is up to you.

Here's what you're maybe missing:

'Hey you:

Yesterday I got a package from an Australian pop star. Tomorrow there's an art opening in SoHo that might be just as fun. Do come if you're in the neighborhood:

Looking back, I filed a juicy 'Friend of the Happy Booker' report, with award-winning author Tayari Jones, on the glitzy, ritzy PEN/Faulkner Gala in DC last month:

Any plans next Friday? Make a spooky date with two downtown darlings:

Back to Justine Levy's 'Nothing Serious' (http://www.mhpbooks.com/nothingSerious.html) and a cup of my fave tea (Alexandra David-Neel; http://www.sloanhall.com/bath/mariagefrerestea.html), neither of which I can put down at the moment. Perfect for a rainy night in New York--

XX,
LC

P.S. Swing by LuxLotus.com later this weekend if you wanna (or Monday morning, you minx!) for a new installment of Le Cineclub with Emma and Lauren...

P.P.S. And let's see that million-dollar smile -- you're GORGEOUS, already!'

Pssst -- joining our little secret society is just a click away.
