For the past 19 years we have shared (daily) each other's triumphs, funny dilemmas, meals, excitements, dramas (like all the times I sent emails to the wrong people or when she told a lady she looked like she'd lost ONE THOUSAND POUNDS), babies (well hers, not mine), lip gloss purchases, love triangles (I don't think we've had these, but it sounded funny), sundays @ the farmers market, matching white boy tank top outfits, craziness, awkward moments (walking like a dog in central park, forgetting to remove the pump @ the gas station, the break your arm/ marc jacobs pant cuff incident) heartbreak, cooking lessons from Jen, dingo boots and straightening irons - so you know we have to be close! Mia and I lived together on a mattress in NYC - but then again, so did rock lobster the rat with wings, occasionally the babies or ice cream, hank the perverted madonna /english patient fan, bible beaters, hot dog carts, sweaty gus and JB-K! ahhhh NYC!! Mia has the BEST memory! As mine seems to slip, she can remember that Lake Bell is the one that liked my Shoe Pavilion shoes & that Kristy & Max got married!
I make sure to consult with her on every decision - making me uber codependent! She gives the best level headed advice, even when I don't want to hear it. We tend to talk in code & it's hard for others to fully understand - (Bernstein, Jubilees, "I'll fax you", Squillatti, FBF, punks). Mia is always on my team and to my delight, she consults me before spray tans (so I have the opportunity to stop her) - I would do the same if I ever had one! She is an AMAZING dancer & Nike shorts winner! Mia is famous! - which is always a nice quality in a friend - oh and she has fabulous taste in home goods, knows how to get cats out of her yard & is a doting mother to dahlia & declan!!!!
Mia looks good in Lee press-on nails and purple eye shadow on halloween! She has the cutest dishes, enjoys Anthropologie, interviewing celebrities and golden retrievers (sounds like a singles ad). There's a special place in her heart for Dahlia, Gavin, Declan, Dwight, sandwiches from Gelsons, taking me to musicals, the laundromat on 3rd street, being frank magazine, spinning class, childcare @ the gym, Duane Reade, Frank Sinatra, sleeping in castles, Cafe Habana corn on the cob & the boat entree, Abbott Kinney & Cynthia Nixon's GF!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIA and GAVIN!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!
