Deja vu!






I was in Fort Tryon Park today doing exactly what I did last week; enjoying the lovely weather and reading and I looked over my shoulder and there was another wedding taking place! I couldn't hear the ceremony as well as last week so I don't know the happy couples name, but congratulations to them just the same!

Eye Candy!

Ahhhhhh, David Gandy. My eyes tear up at how beautiful he is. And he's British! I'm ever so slightly obsessed with him.

Mmmm mmm!

Saturday Wedding in The Park!



So I went out to enjoy this lovely low humidity day. I made a stop at Dunkin Donuts for a coffee and vanilla bean coolatta then strolled on up to Fort Tryon Park. I sat on a bench reading from my Sony reader,which I love!, enjoying the cool breeze, the sunshine and the great view of the Hudson river, George Washington Bridge and New Jersey. Then music began to play, a three piece orchestra. The music was very relaxing I almost fell asleep. I heard someone say that there was going to be a wedding. I looked over my shoulder and they were setting up the chairs while the musicians played as the guests arrived.  I went back to reading for a bit and when I looked over my shoulder again the wedding party was walking up. I didn't get thier picture, but I got a really nice one of the bride and her parents.

Awww! She looked so pretty and happy!


You can barely make out the bride and groom( Chris & Laura!). I was sitting on a bench not too far away.


The happy couple after they were married! The two men on the bench were some of the random people in the park who witnessed the wedding.

I love the randomness of things you can see or experience when you wonder around the New York. It's one of the reasons I never leave home without my camera and invested a new one! I never know what I might be able to capture in my wanderings!

It's hot in herre!!!!


It's hot a  mutha! A heatwave is one thing but four back to back to back...to back is unbearable. It's unbearable  for me because I don't have air conditioning beacuse my bloody bedroom window does not open from the bottom (F**K!)  and I have no room (or money) for the portable ac. I have fans blowing hot air around. My skin is prickly, sticky and  ichy. I'm moving like a slug, my brain is overheated and quite frankly I'm about to snap! I want to just rip my skin off, but I don't think that would help. I can only stick my head in the refrigerator isn't very practical although it does help somewhat.

According to the local meteorologist, Lee Goldberg on ABC 7 here in NYC, there are at least three more days of this hell hot weather before  things cool down. I hope those rains come around my way in the mean time to cool it down until Sunday. Until then, I'll be sweatin' it out.

Eye Candy!


In honor of the Veuve Clicquot Charity Polo match I saw today, my eye candy is Nacho Figueras and Prince Harry. I was ambivalent about Nacho until I saw him on Oprah several months ago. He was so sexy, flirty and charming! I was smitten from that moment on. Prince Harry wasn't my favorite of the British royal brothers until these last few years. He's grown into a real handsome young man. Enjoy!

p.s.: this picture is from a yahoo search and I believe it's from today as this is what they were wearing before the match started. And Nacho does not smile in pictures I wonder why? He smiled when he was on Oprah.

Vueve Clicquot Polo with Prince Harry and Nacho Figueras!!!

I went to a a polo match on Govenor's Island and it was a lovely experience although it was extremely hot and humid, I'm so glad I got to see a real polo match with real polo players and a real prince!





 The picture on the left is of Nacho Figuera and the one on the right is of Prince Harry being interviewed. These were taken on the way to the polo field from a little gap in  fence. I zoomed in as close as I could to get these. I felt like a paparazzi!

Nacho Figuera is number 2 in the black jersey on the far from left holding the gold flag.. Prince Harry is number 1 in the white jersey on the far right.

 
That is Prince harry on the far right.
This a picture I found from a yahoo picture search of the polo match today. I don't know the final score, but Nacho's team won from what they said on the news. The news also showed that Prince Harry took a fall off his horse, but obviously from this picture he was fine. I hope they do this again next year! I will definately be in the VIP section sitting in the shade, eating a nice meal and sipping Veuve Clicquot!
