To Read: English Muse

A few days ago, we noticed a charming pink typewriter amongst our followers.

It's the English Muse.

'Though she's fairly new in blog-town, she's also a columnist for the LA Times.

We've decided we like her. A lot.

Charming. Witty. With good Voguealicious taste.

Welcome, English Muse!

Cheerio, and all that.

Miss Go Chi in Heaven

It is heavenly. Only word for it. Heaven. Other word: divine.

The tree that fills her room with yellow light...

Cashmere, Valens, Moore, Nemerov, David, Corey, Miss Fine, Nutcracker...the list is too long. Every bit is delicious. Every molecule of every morsel.

I will read it again and again, my little boat never tiring of the divine shore of heaven.

It is quite perfect, I believe.

Miss Go Chi in Heaven
