Republished from my “The Glam Life” blog from 9/27/09 I have a love/hate affair with taxis. They are convenient. They can still get stuck in traffic. They beat the heat of the summer. They can be smelly. They allow you more freedom than public transportation. They can be impossible to find when it is raining …
“Yeah, I’m out that Brooklyn, now I’m down in Tribeca / Right next to DeNiro, but I’ll be hood forever / I’m the new Sinatra, and since I made it here / I can make it anywhere, yeah, they love me everywhere” – Jay Z featuring Alycia Keys Six hours of sleep and we are …

Every year we try to find something unique to do. This year, we headed to Amorette’s Patisserie to make our very own …
