New York, New York - June 2011



Even just a few days in New York is fun. It's a fabulous city with numerous areas to explore. We fell in love with the Meatpackers district; the boutiques and street art/graffiti there are the new Soho cool and the high walk is a great extended aerial garden. Love it!

There are the theatres and galleries. The McQueen exhibition is exquisite, it's a shame we weren't allowed to take photographs, that would be a whole new photographic genre. But it was fabulous to just see McQueen's clothes in the flesh. His cut and sense of theatre was truly sensational. Something he said really sticks in my mind, he said he designs for a woman from side on, that way he sees her real and very individual shape. Makes perfect sense.





Hadn't realised just how many wonderful glass buildings New York has. On one day there were fantastic clouds and of course these were reflecting in the glass of the skyscrapers. So Julie has now become a cloud fanatic, always on the lookout for some great clouds and glass.



And the other good thing about New York, you know you're always going to be well fed....

Here's a really short YouTube slideshow:
