NYCeCe: February 2008
http://nycece.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Staying Awake in The City That Never Sleeps. Wednesday, February 20, 2008. A Reason to Celebrate? In New York, there is always a reason to party, or at least meet for a drink. A person moving in or out of New York is often regarded with a sense of celebration. We've all received invites to "Come party with me on my last night in town! Or "Help me Welcome my friend to NYC". I even threw a "Five Year NYC Anniversary" party with Kenzie, Annie and Emilie a while back. Could I send out an email saying:. She h...

http://nycece.blogspot.com/2008/02/happy-valentines-day-new-york-i-heart.html
Staying Awake in The City That Never Sleeps. Thursday, February 14, 2008. Happy Valentines Day New York. I heart You! It was a bitter winter evening when my friend Jay and I boarded the #1 train. As we sat down, we immediately took notice of a group of Spanish speaking tourists who were in a jovial mood that transcended any language barriers. The tourist grabbed the guitar began to play and soon the entire train was singing "La Bamba" at the top of their lungs. February 14, 2008 at 4:42 PM. I love that o...

NYCeCe: November 2007
http://nycece.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Staying Awake in The City That Never Sleeps. Thursday, November 29, 2007. The first time I had wine I wasn’t particularly impressed. From then on, I would have a glass here or there but it was nothing I craved. Drinking more than a single glass of wine was not something I did. Then, around the time I turned twenty, I had a glass of wine that changed my life it was a Cabernet and it was amazing. For the first time in my life I wanted a second glass. Even after the first sip of wine there is always more to...

NYCeCe: One Singular Sensation
http://nycece.blogspot.com/2008/02/my-phone-rang-other-night-and-it-was.html
Staying Awake in The City That Never Sleeps. Thursday, February 7, 2008. My phone rang the other night and it was one of my married friends. 8220;So, listen,” she said “my husband may have to travel on Valentines Day so I wanted to know if you wanted to come over and we can make dinner and drink champagne or something.”. 8220;Sounds good,” I replied, and then we caught up a bit. It wasn’t until I was hanging up the phone that the thought crossed my mind. What if I had plans? Am I becoming that person?

NYCeCe: July 2007
http://nycece.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Staying Awake in The City That Never Sleeps. Tuesday, July 31, 2007. In the city, when the stores close for the day metal grates are brought down over the glass windows for security. Today as I was leaving the gym, I noticed three boys huddled up against one of these metal barriers yelling and kicking at something. Links to this post. I wish I could be black for an hour". An older black woman whipped her head around and her eyes met mine, "Did you hear what she just said? Did you hear what she just said?

NYCeCe: A Brief Note On... Leggings
http://nycece.blogspot.com/2008/02/brief-note-on-leggings_12.html
Staying Awake in The City That Never Sleeps. Tuesday, February 12, 2008. A Brief Note On. Leggings. I always thought that:. Tights are not pants, they should not be worn with short tops. Most of the time you can still see through them to a degree, so they are best paired with a dress or mini. not a T-shirt. Last fall I was shopping for shoes and the girl who was helping me had on tights with a t shirt, I could see her underwear right through. it was very awkward. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

NYCeCe: Bookstores and Baby Powder
http://nycece.blogspot.com/2008/02/bookstores-and-baby-powder.html
Staying Awake in The City That Never Sleeps. Monday, February 18, 2008. Bookstores and Baby Powder. Sometimes, something as simple as a trip to the local bookstore can become an adventure, like one Saturday night when we dropped into Barnes and Noble to kill time before a movie. As we rode the bookstore Escalators to the top floor, we were greeted by floating particles in the air and the distinct smell of urine. Ma'am, I'm going to ask you to leave" the manager said quietly. DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? Booksto...

NYCeCe: "This Place is Dead"
http://nycece.blogspot.com/2008/02/this-place-is-dead.html
Staying Awake in The City That Never Sleeps. Monday, February 11, 2008. This Place is Dead". This weekend I was invited by my friend Rachel to a birthday party for a male friend of hers at a lounge in Tribeca. By midnight a crowd was streaming in, the DJ was spinning and people were dancing. After apple martinis compliments of a photographer I had been dancing and chatting with, I excused myself so I could track Rachel down. I walked up as Rachel said "C'mon, lets dance". Do you girls wanna dance? As we ...

NYCeCe: January 2008
http://nycece.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Staying Awake in The City That Never Sleeps. Wednesday, January 23, 2008. What you want, how you want it. Annie and I sat at brunch waiting for the rest of our friends. As the waitress brought our first round of mimosas, we caught up on the first date she'd had since her recent break-up. He leaned in to kiss me, and I burst into tears". Keane had had a similar experience with a new friend of his as they were spooning in bed. What is it about these intimate moments that bring on a rush of emotion? Layer O...

NYCeCe: Jump in, Jump out, Turn yourself about
http://nycece.blogspot.com/2008/02/jump-in-jump-out-turn-yourself-about.html
Staying Awake in The City That Never Sleeps. Wednesday, February 13, 2008. Jump in, Jump out, Turn yourself about. When I was younger we sang a song that went:. We would stand in a circle jumping in and out, then we'd take turns introducing ourselves and our plans for the future:. My name is CeCe (yeah! And I'm gonna be a model (uh huh! For the rest of my life (for the rest of her life! Sometimes it seems like the week before Valentines Day turns into a huge game of "Jump in! Yesterday afternoon (two day...
