I went to Burton’s 30th Anniversary party last night at their Soho Flagship store. It was a mix of pro riders, industry types, media and riders. My friend Eric was supposed to meet me there but his wife locked her self out and he had to go home to let her in.

I did have some friends there and I met some cool people including a girl I am recruiting to write for Powder Room. I also got two really nice complements. There was a girl behind me on the bathroom line who kept telling me how gorgeous my hair was. And then another girl said I had beautiful eyes and asked me if I wore contacts. Who wears colored contacts to have brown eyes? Well I guess the Almay I-Color Brown Eye enchancing makeup works!

Afterwards we went to a bar on Canal and my friend left to go to Hiro. There was a really cute guy at the bar that my friend and I talked to. Turns out he’s originally from NJ and his grandparents are from my hometown. Now he lives and LA and works for Bravo. I told him how much I loved Project Runway. He went out for something and said he was coming back but then we moved back to the lounge.

I am finally over my taxicab fear. I don’t actually fear taxis, I just always think they are going to cost far more than I have in my wallet. However the fare from Grand & Canal to 9th st & 6th Ave was $4.60. The path took forever to show up, but once I got to Hoboken hustled out of there (as much as my 15 hours in heels aching feet could manage) and got the first cab. Just as the cab pulled away it started raining.
