Went to a hotel sales reception at the Algonquin Hotel last night. I would like to move in there, particularly into the cozy two-room suite with original New Yorker Art and high ceilings. I could wear bias-cut silk gowns and turbans. And borrow one of Victoria's 85 red lipsticks.
I can't believe I never knew this, but it's a tradition for writers to come to the hotel to write the last page of their story/book. The hotel is advertising this, so I guess the tradition is being encouraged. I would like to sit at the Round Table with a big cosmopolitan and finish my final page with a flourish. (Of course, I have to write all the pages that come before, first.)
