Before landing on this page, you and I were only separated by a mere six degrees. Now we can be one on the web. That's not the definition of technological singularity but it should be.
With this tumblog, I promise kittens and balls of yarn for the kittens to play with. There will be some making out and a lot of hand-holding. I hope that when you are lonely and lost on the outmost corners of the interweb, you can come here and find yrself and feel the good vibrations. You are special and no one can touch that!

THE SPACES BETWEEN
Jack McCarthy passed on today, leaving behind his poems.
THE SPACES BETWEEN
by Jack McCarthy
for Helen
It hurts
when love dies.
When love is deep
it hurts deeply
more deeply maybe than you thought
anything would ever hurt
again.
But with time
the spaces between the moments when it hurts
get longer
the moments themselves become
less devastating
till eventually you come to associate them
with a sad sweetness
that has as much in common with love
as it does with grief.
I will not say
Don’t grieve for me—
do I look like Saint Francis?
But I wish you long
spaces between,
and may you carry into them
all of that sweetness
and only enough sadness to attest
the risk that’s being taken
by everyone who loves you.
Every time we love we’re saying,
Let it ride
and what’s on the table
is the rent money.
And every time we stride again
out into the crisp desert night
our fists shoved deep into empty pockets
we know ourselves for losers.
But, Jesus,
what brave losers we are.
I wish you this too,
for the spaces in between,
this bravery.

Hey pals in NYC.
A few tips to keep you happy during the storm, which I got from a puppy-care website. I am sure they will work for you.
1. First, put on some classical music.
2. Wear a really tight shirt. Puppies are soothed by tightly holding them when they get anxious, so go ahead and give yourself a surrogate hug by putting on a tight shirt.
3. Wrap a warm blanket around your head with an alarm clock near your ear. It reminds puppies of a heartbeat, I am sure you’ll get the same effect.
4. Wet a warm washcloth and put it on your belly.
5. Take your favorite toy and put it in the freezer. Then chew on it for a while.

I love Nicki Minaj and so, today, I love Pepsi
Pepsi is sending me to the secret Nicki Minaj concert tonight. It is so secret I don’t have the address yet, I just know that I’m going to be picked up and whisked away to a land of girlish laughter and womanly bravado, where pink-sparkled barbies sip on brown-fizzied soda in their 6-inch heels and brass knuckles.
I am so happy I could cry into my complimentary Pepsi.

Small Girls, Grand House: Ted Baker of London Opens its Grand House Doors on 5th Avenue
On Thursday, we hurried over for tea time with Ted Baker to celebrate the British luxury brand’s new home on 5th avenue.
The velvet-curtained, art deco store is designed in the style of a dark 1920s London townhouse, with each floor having it’s own theme - the woman’s boudoir for dresses, the prohibition era salon for accessories, a scullery with bells and butlers for menswear.
The Ted Baker team generously invited us to preview the store pre-opening and be photographed in looks from their collection. We spent probably over an hour cooing over the glittering bags, crystal snapped clutches, and silk lining of virtually every piece… but in the end decided to select looks that spoke to the nature of our business, rather than be distracted by every beautiful thing that awaited our zipping and buttoning.
Running a company with a partner is a lot like a marriage. You play different roles that compliment each other and often end up supporting each other not just professionally but emotionally as well. Since we knew we’d be posing together, we decided to emphasize this aspect of our relationship by going for a “couples” look.
Bianca pulled a striped top from Ted Baker’s “Girls will be Boys” collection, designed to look and fit like you are dipping into a boys wardrobe, while maintaining feminine details. Bianca also actually dipped into Ted Baker’s menswear collection, as men’s clothing is something she commonly incorporates into her wardrobe. This blue polka dot woven, exclusive to the 5th Avenue shop, added an offbeat pattern play to an already unconventional girl’s look.
Known for their beautiful dresses, Mallory grabbed a matching striped frock, true to her sweet girly style. The yellow belt is the perfect accent to the navy and white dress, also pulling together the yellow details in Bianca’s outfit. A scarf fashioned as a headband (putting a twist to Mallory’s signature bow) finishes off the boy/girl dynamic.
Check out the rest of our photos on the Small Girls Facebook Page, and view Ted Baker’s “Midtown Abbey” campaign in which they sent butlers and maids loose on the streets of Manhattan here. They ‘re celebrating their grand opening all weekend, so be sure to check them out at 595 5th Ave, NY NY 10017 // at 48th Street
we match- how kyoot.
