I first met Magician, Mal Cross, by Lynn Dell’s Off Broadway Boutique on the Upper West Side. He is one of the snappiest dressers I have ever seen. He also has a wonderful sense of humor. Yesterday I ran into him again near 72nd street and he asked how Lynn was doing. I told him she was recovering from a cold but doing fine and he announced with a smile, ” Lynn Cohen and I never die!” I hope to have even half of Mal’s energy and vitality some day.

I was walking around the Upper West Side yesterday when I came across this stunning woman. When I asked if I could take her photograph, she replied that it was her 93rd birthday. She gave me some advice on how to get to 93: “A little bit of exercise and a lot of luck”.

Thank you to everyone who ordered t-shirts from my collaboration with Fanny Karst! We have just restocked both the “Old Is The New Black” and “Old Is The New Gold” styles for a limited time. We are thrilled that our gorgeous friend Lyn, The Accidental Icon, agreed to model for us. She makes everything look like gold. Make sure and check out her blog in the link above.
