It's All About You

Happy Leap Day!  Also, apparently, Happy Propose To Your Dude Day.  Who knew?  I didn't til I checked out the details on this every four year event.

I thought I'd take advantage of the whole role reversal thing and let *you* do the talking for this post.  I know, I know, I've done this before...  trying to get you to open up and share what you like.  But when I check in to see who's checking out my posts (you're grouped by country, no individual stats, I promise you), I just get all excited.  Besides my usual guests from Germany, Russia and all over the USA, I've had drop-ins from South Korea, Taiwan, Israel, Latvia...  even Saudi Arabia and Australia!  (Note:  I think I know which stylish lady is popping in from Colombia ;)  It gives me 8th grade butterflies to know I've got an international crowd.

And I want to use today's "women proposing to men" angle to be the woman proposing to her readers to share what you like:  favorite store, designer, cocktail, accessory?  Do tell!  Instead of visually listening to me yap about what I love, it's your turn to lend a voice.  It makes things more interesting, and I welcome the chance to get to know *you* just a wee bit better.  Maybe we shop at the same stores?  Eat at the same restaurants?  Drool over the same designers?  I'm only sorry that I didn't pay closer attention to shops and brands whenever I was abroad:  Berlin, Seoul, Milan, Budapest, Nairobi, and Madrid.  Sigh.  If only I could go back in time and kick my younger self.

So, without further ado, I'm going to exercise the rare action of shutting up and letting you do the "liking."  Need a springboard?  Here are a few things I like:

DVF dresses, Botkier purses, Tory Burch ballet flats, Citizens of Humanity jeans, fresh lobster rolls, BBQ, house music, the McQueen show at the Met this past summer, traveling, Jameson on the rocks, old photos of the house I grew up in, summers in the Midwest, pocky, learning languages, Yoyamart in NYC, kalbi, Down East Maine, bourbon drinks, mezcal, pretty much anything fried (including sweetbreads), drawing, the bookstore in Marienplatz (in 1993), vintage Esprit & Swatch, all sorts of random things...

Your turn...
