"When I Saw George Hamilton & Penny Marshall Five Years Ago This Month" "When I Saw George Hamilton & Penny Marshall Five Years Ago This Month" 23 July, 2003: george hamilton
so I was on madison at 64th street maybe 12/12:30.
who walks by: GEORGE HAMILTON! he's about 6'1". Gotta say he's still very handsome & MUST have been outrageously hot in 1960s/70s California but that's before MY time! Hes in good shape, pretty toned with only a little tummy spread. wearing navy-tee with some crest on it: like Atlantic City or Monaco??! slacks: maybe grey or steel blue, nice flat front fit.
HIS SKIN: you may know, George is famous for tanning EVERYDAY. and he looked it. TOO RED!!! like half Indian Red & half brown tan/ and his skin looked pretty leathery!! he should chill on the tanning!! 2/3 days a week max! Red means he's just got sun: chill george
his hair: has movie star hair still full, slicked back, but obvs dyes his grey BLACK cause about 25% of his grey was showing. still, cool leading man hair but the black dye was too obvs. STILL overall looking great for ...64??
BUT chill on the tanning & could dress a little more 'up': too L.A. casual 24 July, 2003: penny marshall
OK so Im on Madison & 57th at noon and who slides right by me? PENNY MARSHALL!! Laverne herself! well, while George Hamilton looked hot for 64 yesterday, Penny DID NOT look hot for 60 (?). She has an obvious wig, straw colored & hanging stiffly just below chin level. It also had the texture & dryness of straw. Her face was wrinkly, a weird light brown like she'd been in tanning booth or something. needs moisteurizer. scurvy nose & melty face much like wicked witch from wizard of oz. In 25 years I see sarah jessica parker looking like this, thats why I think SJP is stomach turning now. but I digress.
penny DID have nice clothes. Ralph Lauren Polo sweater (cotton, w/ polo pony!!) in butter yellow. NICE sweater!! slim cigarette-ish pants, in black: COOL!! straw bag, very nice, cool 12" x 12" size. same color as her hair. the butter yellow sweater would have worked great with her hair & face but I described her wrinkles & dry wig.
she also walked hunched over, very NY neurotic. reminded me of Donna Karan's on-black-rocks trauma vibe, but more depressed, less-new age. I wanted to tell her to head to Sagaponack and chill for a few months by the pool. next time. - The EARL GREY 10021 / 11937/ 19103

Lloyd Cole & I Have a Bit of a Chat re:Sandie Shaw - ..... Lloyd Cole & I Have a Bit of a Chat re:Sandie Shaw - ..... "Title: sandie shaw any particular reason you dont like sandie shaw's "heartbroken'? her phrasing does sound a bit rushed/ mush mouthed and of course in her 60s/70s hits her phrasing pitch breath inflection etc is so pristine, yet off hand and grand too. 60s females like aretha dionne dusty etc are all deservedly celebrated but until one checks out sandie's 60s/70s catalogue its easy to miss how many chart hits & stellar performances she gave us. morrissey got me into her cult I must admit .... Posted by: spencer @ 26/07/2008 ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Language: Title: Sandi Spencer The singing is fine... the production is what I don't like. And she didn't sing 'ready to bleed' which has nothing to do with meat eating... Still, that's all picking hairs - I am thrilled that she did it.

genji vegetarian japanese . black sesame ice cream ! ***1/2 genji sansom street APPETIZER: sauteed shiitake japanese mushroom. served with ginger sauce on a bed of lettuce/ peppers/ tomatoes. I like shiitake as a change but I am rarely crazy about them. best shiitake i ever had was sauteed spinach/shiitake at tatany 72nd/2nd ave in nyc. this was a tasty & unusual appetizer/shiitake salad but also didnt set me on fire. shiitake is an interesting flavour but not a favourite. i guess there are mushroom people - but im not a fungus haha ROLLS: avocado roll. cucumber roll/kappa maki. on tuesday night genji's rolls were good but not great. tonight they re-wrote that with 2 symbolic rolls, as good as an avocado or kappa maki roll can get. just delicious wow the avocado was fresh & sensuous ! delicious. a culinary delight , delicious to the taste, everything the shiitake wasnt BEER: sapporo 16 oz draft. genji really serves the beer at the ideal temp. is it 35 degrees? gosh i loved it. DESSERT: home made black sesame ice cream served with seasonal fresh fruit. genji is the only place I have ever had black sesame ice cream, its the colour of slate grey!! like the incredible hulk in his first appearance! served with: black berry. pineapple. water melon. as kwan pointed out it tastes a little bit like peanut butter haha. the fuits were palate cleansing summery & cooling. as great as the rolls were the ice cream might have been the hi-light of the meal. RATING: the rolls beer & black sesame were out of this world. the shiitake was a bit just okay. so on balance, fantastic service, great dinner, in sum ***1/2 of 5 stars COST $31 incl tip. what can i say a great dinner the hi-light of my day

fuji montain 1st floor - vegetarian sushi ***1/2 FUJI MOUNTAIN chestnut st appetizer: green salad with ginger dressing ENTREE: vegetarian sushi: on rice: asparagus. avocado. carrot. cucumber. kampyo. oshinko. + veggie futomaki roll 4 pcs BEER: 22 oz sapporo can. I ate downstairs at fuji mntn: 2nd flr was closed after 9 pm weds. air conditioning was even better on 1st floor. 22 oz sapporo can beer was about as good as can beer can be. salad was fine. vegg sushi was a real treat. each piece was great on rice + good 4 pc veggie combo roll. a full dinner & at last 2 or 3 pcs I was full. SERVICE: waitress, whom i dont really know, was a bit brusque, but at least she brought the fod in due time & would have brought me whatever I wanted. 1st floor coses at 10 pm [2nd floor til 2 am] so she was in a bit of a rush - the only minor negative to an otherwise outstanding dinner. RATING: ***1/2 of 5 stars. everything was great & if i felt a bit more relaxed it could have been even more than ***1/2. PRICE: $29 incl tip. cant complain about that , a mound of great food & 22 oz sapporo beer.

GENJI . 2nd room all for me! ***1/4 GENJI Samson St.
appetizer; Yasai Veggie Tempura Appetizer: mushroom. sweet potato. potato. red pepper. cucumber. a tasty vegg tempura, maybe slightly dull batter compared to the best. ROLLS: avocado/cucumber roll. kampyo roll. quality vegg rolls but seaweed was a bit fishy? still rice was soft & warm. nutritious rolls but ive had a bit better at Genji's best. BEERS: asahi. kirin light. both served at ideal temp, 40 degrees? my first time trying kirin light. ots a great light beer! asahi when chilled like this also delicious SERVICE: main room was almost full so Kwan & Julie let me sit in room #2 all by myself !!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is service!!!! being quiet alone by myself peaceful made the meal substantially better. COST $30 incl. tip. even if food was just a shade off Genji usual peak [best in 215] the GREAT service quiet, great beers & tasty veggies made up for it. a Tuseday night dinner, you cant complain. ***1/4 of 5 stars

BAZAAR June 2008. Nic Richie. anabela. agnete. malgosia. eva BAZAAR June 2008. Nic Richie. EDIT #1: agnete hegelund + anabela belikava by tom munro. Open up the june HB & when you see agnete & anabela on the first 2 edit pages, right there you know HB is better than us vogue in summer 2008. I loved both of these girls at first look, anabela's had star edits in HB since late 2007. agnete has been hot in the biz for about a year I guess but shes new, I think, to HB & W too? anyway this is a studio fall edit styled by brana wolf and it rocks top to bottom. 13 page edit brana really scores with the fall looks, hi-lites incl: armani, prada, gucci, chanel, ralph, ck, bottega, balen, ysl, LV, kors, D&G, ricci. I cant even choose betw the two girls I mean maybe anabela is more seasoned and maybe agnete is slightly more beautiful? dont want to choose. munro's studio pics are strong its basic but it communicated harder with the refined palette & makeup than many vogue studios. just a wonderful shoot girls clothes, mood. killer intro edit to june. 8.8 of 10. EDIT #2 eva herzigova by lindbergh. elliot spitzer storyline. Ive been over eva for at least a decade but admit she looks realtively good here + is able to inhabit the wife role well. kindbergh's pics here are excellent, i mean you expect it from the man, but not every HB edit by him the last 2 or so years has been that great, only some. jenny capitain styled its very well done it suits the story & tone. clothes dont bowl me over but it works. so despite maybe my initial bias this is a good edit. 7.3 of 10 EDIT #3 malgosia by anthony ward. i preferred the early malgosia, yes she was on smack and looked other-worldly dead, but she had impact. shes still really good though, especially here I admit it, sexy. styling by mel ward is a touch rote but equally does the job. CK look best. a ward's pics likewise do the job but dont WOW. its ok though. really malgosia makes it work. 6.7 of 10. EDIT #4/cover. nic richie & joel madden by lindbergh. decent domestic pics. its a bit of a dull topic for lindbergh but he still comes thru. nice to see lionel richie. nic shot on cover in 70s HB style it works, its cite. Im not too enthusiastic about this edit but on its safe tabloid level its ok. 6.5 of 10 . VERDICT: agnete & anabela get the ish off to a killer start. after that its quality but unremarkably so. eva, malgosia & even nic richie are decent but not thrilling. still no duds & seeing agnete & anabela is enough for ONE SOLID THUMBS UP

SAKE: hot sake. was a bit lukewarm, i was kind of disppointed in it. COST: $27.72 incl tip. Rating: the tempura + arpara/avoc sushi were both light & tasty & excellent. the sake was lukewarm. james seemed to disappear after serving the food it wasnt as good service as I am accustomed too. but it was still a tasty & relaxed meal. *** of 5 stars maybe a bit over-priced given what was on the plate

vegetarian japanese GENJI ***1/2 GENJI Sansom St. Appetizer: Inaniwa Udon very special thin white udon noodles, served with dipping sauce, sesame seeds & scallions. Noodles seemed slightly wet or sticky but when dipped in sauce/soy + wasabi + sesame seeds + scallions had delicious refreshing summer light taste. sophisticated + tasty dish. ROLL: avocado/cucumber maki. traditional inside out combo roll. just ideal mix of avoc + cuke. perfect 1-1/2 size roll. prepared by skilled roll japanese chef it is hard to beat a vegg roll like this. BEER: sapporo 16 oz draft. I love kirin ichiban but some swear by sapporo as the #1 japan beer & when served at ideal temperature here [40 degrees?] this 16 oz beer is sooo delicious I swear I devoured it in 10 mins w/avoc/cuke roll. SAKE: also small hot sake, amazing with udon noodles. TOTAL: $29 with tip. RATING: its hard to beat a perfect avoc/cuke roll; udon noodles in light sauce for summer; and sapporo/ hot sake. great service from julie + kwan a pretty fab monday night dinner : made my day really. ***1/2 of 5 stars
