New York State of Mind



I'm finally getting back to normal after a fabulous few days in New York. I love that town!




Two girlfriends and I stayed at The Muse Hotel in the Theater District, which has the most comfortable beds maybe in the whole world. As soon as I got back, I ordered their pillows and a feather bed top for my mattress. By the way, after traveling with both husbands and girl friends, I have to say that it's more fun with the girls!




Yes, we saw some shows. South Pacific, which I was in as both Nellie and the chorus, was my favorite. It's the first time it's been revived on Broadway since it opened in 1949. We also saw Gypsy, but it played at the St. James Theater and the seats weren't tiered enough so I had to watch it though the hairdo of the woman in front of me. We also saw Wicked, and met some of the actors, plus found out fun details about the show; for example, their costume budget was $2.5 million!




As far as hair goes, I am trying a new look -- short. So far everyone is giving me positive feedback. It's certainly easier and more comfortable to deal with than my longer hair. I am wearing a wig called "Reese" by Noriko. It's really quite cute, sort of shaggy. Anyway, it was nice to throw an extra one in my suitcase and not worry about it.




Next trip is to Santa Fe in October. I've never been there! Can't wait!
