THE SEPTEMBER BLOG ISSUE

The end of summer and the beginning of autumn. Then comes Christmas. Well, it feels like that anyway.

My first taste of fall occurred when I was waiting to meet someone at the Barnes & Nobel Cafe overlooking Westwood Blvd. We were meeting to see the documentary "
The September Issue" and after a Q&A with the filmmaker. In spite of the movie, I hadn't really planned on buying the big fat Vogue - but I was browsing the magazines and I picked it up just to look at it. An older woman (who had probably just gotten out of the matinee) walked right up and said, "You got the last one?" It was the last one and I really wanted to look at it so I had to say yes, and then I had to buy it. A lie becomes the truth.




Per usual - we had our Indian Summer surrounded by fires... for several days it looked like there was nuclear testing in the suburbs north of LA:

The summer officially ends with the "Sound of Music" sing-a-long at the Hollywood Bowl. It's the new "Rocky Horror Picture Show." Bring your swatch of fabric - your flashlights - your laser pointers - your mini champagne poppers and remember to wave your cell phone during any and all performances of Edelweiss. I didn't see that much lederhosen when I was in Salsburg! Needless to say we had a great time and decided we need to go again next year... with flashlights.

I read about those fires. Horrible. Also not seeing lederhosen in Germany made me smile. It's a bit like not seeing anybody wearing clogs in Holland when you visit that country or not seeing onions around peoples neck in France. The images we get from other countries are at times hilarious.

I LOVE those out to eat pictures. It's such a nice way of capturing really what you're doing at the time. Like "this is REALLY what I see". Sing-along sounds fun!
