RUBY SLIPPERS CIRCA 2010

I found the perfect pair of shoes to go with all the good energy showing up in my life these days.

What do you think? I just love them! They are modern day Ruby/Glass Slippers. They remind me of moonbeams, wizards, and fairy tales. They will light the way! One could certainly walk to fame and discover new frontiers in these. I bet Oprah has a pair in multi-colored diamonds.

Now, if I could only afford them. Something tells me they might be a Louboutin or Giuseppe Zanotti. These distinctive, silver showstoppers are now appearing in the lobby of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Boston, locked in a glass case. Let’s guess the price (without looking). I will post the answer as soon as I find out.

I will add these intergalactic go-go boots to my Christmas wish list. What’s on yours…



KEEPING UP HOLIDAYS with the GOLD'S

Long before Modern Family, the Kardsashians, and Motley Crew, were the Gold Girls. Now, the next generation joins in the unparalleled merrymaking.

We didn’t sing Over the River and Through the Woods to Grandmother’s House We Go. We ran around the beach, and over to Grandmother’s funky daughter’s house. It's just another Holiday on High with the Gold Clan.

It’s always loud and colorful. At one point we had a pinball game going in the basement, a round of chess in the dining room, a fashion show in the den, and Ageless Aunty tearing up and tripping over the Persians in every room (rugs that is). That was after I grabbed an almond out of her mouth because she was trying to eat a whole one including the shell!

Noodles, the 19 year-old blind pup walked into walls during all the festivities. My brother-in-law, the host, continuously poured pricey international wines by the crate! And when I asked my six-year old nephew Brayden what he wanted most for Christmas this year, he replied, “Ten packages of Beef Jerky would be nice!”

I was grateful for every sip, shrimp, sigh, boing, holler, and strut. My animated family is a lot of fun. They would win a Gold Medal if celebrating (the holidays) was an Olympic sport.

After some Tony Bennett and Truffle Cheese, the upbeat soundtrack to our Thanksgiving revelry included Beausoleil’s, Papa St. Nick, the Moonglow’s Hey Santa Claus, Santa Claus, Santa Claus. One of my sisters declared, “Thank God you brought your tambourine.”

Ho Ho Ho…Happy Holidays to all. My favorite time of the year is here!

Happy Thanksgiving

Take a day off the weight watching and just enjoy what you eat... If the food is made with love, the calories will melt away...

I always enjoy every bite of Aunty's Italian Cookies and my mother's pistachio cake. Miraculously, I can still zip into my jeans the next day. A nice long walk in between helps.

Dazzling shoes up next...

HULA HOOPING IN THE MOONLIGHT

Another way to stay Ageless...

Saturday night, after a full moon gong and meditation, Lori, Aunty, and I, went outside to soak up the Autumn moon. We noticed some hula hoops against a tree. I picked one up and started gyrating. What fun! Lori couldn't resist, and followed suit. With some assistance, Ageless Aunty joined in...

Ageless

Coming up next...a pair of ageless & magical shoes. And speaking of shoes, in light of recent posts about the shimmer and glimmer around me, did you notice the sparks coming from my sneakers, and the light behind me...

Stay with Ageless, the blog that is also a beacon!

TOMMY LEE JONES and THE GUSHING GUEST

Since many of you have been asking who the man was I met in the elevator last week, in New York, I will tell you. Right before the elevator operator shut the door, I heard a voice say, “Just a minute.” A man and a woman stepped in. The dude was tall and handsome, with a presence that overpowered the small space. When I realized who he was, (remember, I am a movie fanatic) my heart started beating so fast, I thought I might faint.

“Are you Tommy Lee Jones?”
“Why yes I am,” he replied.

He cordially introduced me to his wife. As lovely and as personable as she was, I was so excited about talking to Tommy Lee Jones, I forgot her name. But, I could not forget all the roles he has played. My personal favorite was Doolittle Flynn in Coal Miner’s Daughter. I saw that movie at least seven times. He has starred in countless movies from Men in Black, and Lonesome Dove to The Eyes of Laura Mars and No Country for Old Men. He is currently filming Men in Black 3…

Tommy as "Doo"

 

You might be thinking I should have asked for a picture with him. I probably should have, considering part of this blog is about me chasing (the) stars. But, in that moment, I was on his level. We were at the same hotel, on the same floor, talking about how much we love New York; I just couldn’t burst that bubble. However, we were on a top floor, and the longer ride down gave me more time to gush~
