Rosie Perez had the three sophisticated archetypal heroines drinking coquitos and eating the tres leches cake for Thanksgiving. So says the last episode of "Lipstick jungle". I called V. to wish him a happy Thanksgiving and to let him know the Puerto Ricans and their holiday traditions have arrived on prime time TV. Nostalgia reigned supreme and had to be subdued with caviar and tiramisu.
No Black Friday shopping is taking place this year because either I'm renouncing my worldly posessions or I've officially given up on upcoming holiday cheer and its necessary trappings. I still have the little black dress from this summer that was supposed to be worn on some hypothetical hot dates.
Suppose, I could go to IKEA to buy a new super-colorful bed set, make a blender-ful of coquito for S's visit, and then walk drunkenly to a Korean bath house. Reciting Brodsky on unrequited love, of course.
