Peace, Love, and a Whole Lotta Rock & Roll!
Hello Fashionistas!
I know we have finally wrapped up Fashion Week in NYC and I should be giving you some insight on fall fashion, but I feel like there will be plenty of time for that…..
More importantly, this week was the somber commemoration of the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11th terrorist attacks on U.S. soil and to me it felt like a good time to blog about things that are important and meaningful because this week we also had our amazing friend and musician, Chris Carter (who words cannot express how much we love him) and his beautiful wife, Susan visit from Alabama and see the city for everything that it has to offer. I thought it was such a poignant week for them to come in to visit the city. As I was in my office busily working all week, I enjoyed their Facebook posts of all the beautiful sights of NY that they were getting to see and do–the High Line, The World Trade Center Memorial, The Village Vanguard, and it just made me very proud to be part of this incredible city.
Chris used to live in NYC and be the lead guitarist in one of Dave’s former bands, Gringo Love Show, and this week, while he was in town, the GLS band arranged to have a reunion gig. They hadn’t all been together in probably 10 years or so. This really sparked my concept of taking a walk down memory lane with friends whom Dave and I have met through all things rock & roll. You’ll see some little nuggets of fashion content too!!
Nothing But Trouble (circa 1992)
Dave and I first met in August of 1992 and he was the guitarist in a heavy duty rock band called “Nothing But Trouble”. This was the last bastion of hedonistic metal/rock music. We were still enjoying the decadence of overindulgent ’80’s hair bands.
Sam, Dave, Steve, and Loren are Nothing But Trouble (yes really!!) I especially like my signed autograph from Dave!! |

Linda back in the day! Look at those old cars in the background! |
Your blogging fashionista circa 1993 and look–some things never change–I still have a glass of wine!! My guess is I would not even drink whatever “wine product” is in that glass today. |
