Toot Takes Manhattan, New York Part Two

Before we get to Toot's adventures in the Big Apple, a very cool announcement: Gauche Alchemy has a couple more spots left in their circle journal so get over there and sign up ASAP if you're interested! I, of course, will be participating so if you've been trying to figure out how to get your dainty little hands on a Maggi original, now's your chance! *pause for applause* ;) Also, they are having another color kit name contest, this time for their orange mixed media color kit so get over there with your suggestions! And congrats to my fabulous friend, Callista who named their purple kit, how amazing is she?!

Now, on with Toot's vaca in fabulous NYC! It was the cutest thing ever, Toot was all excited about ... Wow, sorry about that, I got a little fuzzy there for a minute. Now, where was I? Oh yes, Toot was so sweet *yawn* ... whoa ... so tired ... can't help but ... sleep ...

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Is she asleep?! Wonderful! What do you mean, who is this? It's me, TOOT! That's right, Mommy was going to write the most boring post in the world about me in New York. I mean, come on..."cute" "sweet"? Puleeze! I couldn't let that happen so I decided to take matters into my own hands and tell you the real story of my time in the City. And not to worry, Mommy will not have any side effects from the sleepy candies I slipped her...at least, I think it was sleepy candies, I just grabbed a bunch of stuff from the box in the bathroom so who knows...

ANYWAY, this was my first time in New York and it...was...AWESOME! Let me just tell you, New York loves me! Mommy and Daddy took me to FAO Schwartz and Toys R Us. They were cool I guess. Then they took me to the Disney Store:



I was having fun there until I discovered something much more fun...designer shops! Who needs a stuffed rodent or overpriced giraffe when I could shop for the finest NY has to offer?! I quickly ditched the parental units and took off for more couture waters...



Ah, Bergdorf's...my Grandmother shopped here many years ago you know...



Oh Armani, is there anything you can't do?



Louis Vuitton?!



*sigh* Gucci...



Eek!!! Tiffany's?!?! Yes please!

But not even Tiffany's could compare to what I found at Oscar de la Renta:



I went in to buy one for myself and this cheeky sales twit had the nerve to tell me that it didn't come in 6-9 months! The nerve! I didn't think it was all that great anyway...*sniff*...of course then Mommy found me and said that we didn't have enough money to get in the door...har har Mommy *eye roll*

Shhhhhh....did you hear that? I think Mommy's coming to, I better wrap this up fast! Thanks for joining me on a trip down Madison Ave! Join me next time when I shall tell you the tale of how I was asked to perform on Broadway...

Wow...if I type fast enough I'll be the first to comment on you blog! That NEVER happens!! Ha!

OMG! I peed myself, I always think you're so funny Maggie...but that Toot! Okay...the part about the "sales twit had the nerve to tell me that it didn't come in 6-9 months"!That's the part when I actually peed!

Oh that was fun, can't wait for part three, and Toot, you're darling and don't worry Aunt Karyn will make you a gown suitable for the queen you are!

Hugs,
Karyn (French Charming)

Love,
Aunt Mel
