Tea
Now that I am no longer living with a Brit, in an imported-from-England-only Tetley household, I am happily rediscovering the BEST tea in the world. Mariage Fréres. Here is an article about it. My faves are Buddha Bleu (Green), Marco Polo (Black) & Rouge Bourbon (Red). Other amazing teas: Capim Limon from Brazil, which I drank everyday in Brazil in the jungly country outside Sao Paulo and it made everything better, it's like miracle tea. Also, my kindof grandmére Marielle turned me onto the Peach tea from Takashimaya. When brewed, her eyes get sparkly and wide and she says "look at that colour, it's extraordinary, non?" She loves colour. Her late husband, the American painter William Segal, founded the Color Association of America and made her president, because of her love of color. Isn't that soooo romantic?? Here is a link to Marielle's latest book "The Color of Love"

3 things men have said to me that should have made me run. but didn't.
1. Yes, God says it's a sin for us to sleep together before marriage but I'll go to confession tomorrow.
2. I'll solve all your problems.
3. I'm Italian.

Keeping up with America's hottest brands
The snuggie is apparently one of them, selling now at Lord & Taylor's and pet stores.
New products include college-themed Snuggies, leopard and zebra prints and Snuggies for kids and dogs. New marketing wrinkles this year include a well-publicized Snuggie runway show during Fashion Week in New York and a collaboration with the band Weezer, which put the Snuggie into a music video and has its own custom version.
Weezer! The sweater song!

Electric Tibet
Someone posted this on my father's head shop "Electric Tibet" in Berkeley in the 60's. (PG&E stands for Pacific Gas & Electric for those of you on the east coast)
