Celebrate Your Self!

Sir and I are constantly asked about the tale of our first meeting. Strangers on the street have done complete 360s when they pass us by, returning to harass us in the most polite way possible on how we met, because they too would like to make such a striking couple with the man of their fantasies.

And I can see why. Me, an effervescent youthful thing with a model-like form in my Carnegie Mellon sweatshirt. Sir is always dapper in fitted navy blue pin-striped suits that play off his salt and pepper hair heightened by the luminous aura of success. Together we are like caviar on top of dried shark fin- pure elegance and expensive.

Because I have been blessed with the gift of gab and I look good, during my first couple of years in the city I was constantly being invited to be the plus one at one event after another. Whether it was a charity ball, a foundation awards ceremony or a music mogul's daughters Bat Mitzvah or two I was sure to be there. The food always made up for the inconvenience of not being invited directly.



I discovered Ostrich burgers, Robiola Bosina cheese and surprisingly artichoke dip. At a certain event Sir and I reached for the same glass of Cristal from the server at the same time! We have been inseparable since except when he goes on business trips to earn more money for us.


I don't need any gifts for our anniversary since I have full access to the Black Amex card. Instead we have taken to scoring invites to events or socials to recreate our special moment. Our anniversary is still a couple of weeks away, but were asked to be the guests of an invited person to the Save the Beluga Whale and Casino Night Gala at the Waldorf this evening so Happy Anniversary to us.

Next post is the Kept Boy Cookbook's 10 post anniversary. I will be preparing a very special fusion meal dinner party to celebrate. Join me.





21! We Win!
