⁂ Twilight opens today ⁂


The much anticipated movie adaptation to the popular novel Twilight, written by author Stephenie Meyer, will be released on the bigscreens across the nation today. 
The film stars Kristen Stewart who plays Bella Swan, a clumsy teenage girl who falls deeply in love with the 300 year old, teenage bodied vampire Edward Cullen played by Robert Pattinson.  Their attraction to each other strengthens as secrets are revealed but along with the truth comes greater evils. The deeper bella enters into edwards world, the more vulnerable she becomes. Meyer has written three sequels to Twilight.  New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.  I was apprehensive about this tween series but to my delight it enveloped my imagination and left me wanting more.  I will be watching this movie twice. Once with audience commentary, and again because I would like to hear it without tween intervention.  Yayz!

Muppets Made In Manhattan



FAO Schwarz has opened the first ever build your own muppet workshop.  
I'm Gagging...
A Muppet Whatnot is a Muppet extra, full of character, colors and is a vital part of any Muppet Show. Seeing the Muppets always sends a flood of nostalgia thru my body. I remember wishing to go to Sesame Street and wanting to hang out with Ernie and Bert. Sing fun kid songs and be on tv eating cookies with the now vegetarian ( >.< ) Cookie Monster.
Now you can have your own Muppet Show at home. YAY!!!  I can see this being the beginning of hours of endless fun and way too many youtube videos. 
The Muppet WhatNot Experience opens today in the FAO Schwarz store on 
Fifth Ave and 58th St, New York. 
Make one Today!

Woah! 
I need to see this in person.

✈ I Wanna Go There

I Wanna Go There # 1. 

The Maze at Cordes-sur-Ciel by Isabelle de Beaufort and Bernard Ramus.

This magical maze created by Isabelle de Beaufort and Bernard Ramus in Cordes-Sur-Ciel, France, was modeled after the Medieval city plan of Toulouse, France. The tiny house at the center of this maze represents the lair of a legendary dragon that supposedly lurked below the streets of Toulouse. Firstly, I need to get my derriere to France, Pronto! Secondly, how I would love to run thru those hedges and get lost or play tag with friends. It remindes me very much of  The Queen of Hearts' Garden in Alice In Wonderland, That would be a perfect theme for a costume/ freeze tag party.  
I wanna go there...

Your mahpartment ♥'s Ikea.


Ikea and the New York Water Taxi have teamed up to turn your shopping experience into a mini cruise.  Fabulous!

 I recently went on a mini cruise of my own with my friend Diva to help her choose her home furnishings for her new mahpartment. Departing from Pier 11 at wall street and arriving at the brand new Ikea in RedHook Brooklyn, the Ikea express ferry is a shoppers dream come true. 

Take a ride... Check it out... go home furnished.

For schedules and directions check out the New York Water Taxi's site ~ www.nywatertaxi.com/commuters/ikea/



8 minutes from Pier 11, Wall St to Ikea Redhook. 
Diva had her list prepared and we were ready to attack. 


Chairs, Beds, Vanitys, Mirrors... they have it all, take your pick!


After a long day of shopping we rest our leggs and fill our tummy's with yummys at Ikeas restaurant and cafe.  The Swedish meatballs are the most popular on the menu.  Try them!
