When I first moved to Albany in 1988, I got a job working split doubles at PD. Ladd’s, currently Dove and Deer. My apartment was just around the corner on Washington Avenue and, since I was carless, I needed to work within walking distance. The Ladopolous brother were very kind to me and, while I … Continue reading Becoming Purnomo

19 Things I’m loving
The Super Bowl was already weeks ago (Remember? The Patriots won. Again.) but there’s something I’ve been thinking about ever since the big game...why would celebrities, like really rich and successful public figures, appear in advertisements or commercials about products which they weren’t enthusiastic about truly using?

I could scarcely believe it was just there in grass, there where no one else had seen or taken … Continue reading Universal thoughts

It was just a great night. A big part of the enjoyable evening was a concert at The Egg. A band … Continue reading Grooving with The Suffers

I recall whipping off any clothing that may have hidden this fabulous outfit whenever our doorbell rang, keeping our … Continue reading Trying on Rent the Runway
