The last time I was...Uhm, where's the picture?<br /><br />The last time I was in NYC, we had to make an emergency run to H&M to get something I had forgotten to pack(absolute worlds worst packer here) and there was a couple in there that was unbelievably stunning. I barely remember the woman who was beautiful, because the man outshone her. He was young, maybe 25, but dressed in the nicest suit I've ever seen, and he was super tall, like 6'8". I still wonder about him today. What was his story. Those people in that bar will not soon forget the pleasure of seeing Friend's Girlfriend.Cat https://www.blogger.com/profile/14407425908043520623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341308729189935273.post-43933809841575758772010-04-10T08:38:41.704-04:002010-04-10T08:38:41.704-04:00i have the same bias. by the end of the evening, ...i have the same bias. by the end of the evening, i'm sure i would have been smitten as well... bar sounds pretty neat. on my list of things to do!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341308729189935273.post-63316314604137632822010-04-10T03:27:55.277-04:002010-04-10T03:27:55.277-04:00....and you did get her number right?
