What the hell is up with the crazy 100 degree whether in the Cit? (city) I think my face has actually melted into my neck a few times.
Ahhhhh, who am I kidding? I look fantastic…even in this heat!
FIN has been super slow lately.
Its that dull time of year where everyone heads to the Hamptons or blazes off to some remote wooded camp up north.
NYC is a ghost town when it comes to the dead of July.
It might be the smell of hot garbage that cues everyone to make a mass exodus.
I happen to like it when the city clears out.
I feel like a hard core metropolis girl on a set of some post apocalyptic movie.
But I digress….
