Vanilla Ice Cream Dress

(Note:  Due to whatever was going on with Blogger earlier this week, one of my posts disappeared and one went awry.  The post that disappeared was an important one for me, so I am recreating it here.  It was originally posted on May 11 and should be read as if it were May 11.)

It seems like forever since I last posted.  In reality, it has been just one week.  It is truly amazing how my perception of time can vary depending on how far away I journey (in miles/kilometres or otherwise) from my daily life/routine.  The farther I travel, the longer I feel I have been away.  I was in New York City this past week, where I saw the Alexander McQueen show ("Savage Beauty") at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  What I saw took my breath away and brought home to me exactly how sad it is that the world no longer has the benefit of his creative genius.
