Yes yes yes. Bahareh's back in NYC....in my loving biceps. We've been doing this back/forth for almost 4yrs now and i STILL get nervous when she pulls up in a cab. woah!
The Lady Love is (again) hotter than i remember her to be. how lucky am i? Lucky enough not to shred my face while shaving? nope.
**MILESTONE: This is Courtesy Of's first official post with both Bahareh and i in the same country.

America, FUCK YEAH!
It's taken us over a year of traveling, longing and long distance calls, but Jelsen and I are oh so happy to (finally) announce that our VISA application has been approved! This means that I'll be coming home. Tomorrow!
After picking up my paperwork at the US embassy, I strolled the streets of Oslo and fell in love all over again. I am excited to get back to NY, but it's bitter sweet to leave my city behind.
The main street in Oslo has Ibsen quotes inscripted along the pavement and my favorite is right outside the Parliament. The quote is from a play called "An enemy of the people" and it reads ; "The minority is always right." I love that.
Later on in the evening; I met up with my girls for a night of waffles and homemade jams at our friend and domestic goddess, Anne Christine's house. It was delicious. Yum. Yum. Yum
Norway, Oslo, family and friends...I'll miss you and am leaving you with a piece of my heart and spirit. Kisses to you all.

Cool Heads.
So, tonite was our first class and it went really well. They made it easy - they have good portfolios.
Looking forward to next week.

Only Green and Red Delicious, please.
So, some way somehow I get the chance to co-instruct a graduating class in advertising with Carlo (we both went to Miami Ad School together; worked at BBDO around the same time also).
Pressure? of course! We'll tag-team that, though.
This is the photo we sent to our new graduating class as an Intro to Us. Looking forward to seeing how/if this all turns out. It'll be 10 whole weeks of it.
"dismissed!"

Bye bye baby
My friends and I gathered for a small bachelorette reunion party/ going away party for me on Sunday and pretty little Lejla was the obvious center of everyones attention. Lejla has cheeks the size of tennis balls and she clearly likes my cooking so you can imagine how much I love her.

Nipples n Giggles!
Nice nice nice. Brown Girls Burlesque's 4th show was again at The Zipper Theater in midtown. It a primo venue, i say.
The ladies had 'done it again!' with this round. It's theme was 'Sheroes'. Great music, great jokes, great no-clothes, great show.
They keep selling them out.
Robin Cloud was a great host-ess. Check out more here.
Here are some backstage shots.
The all-too-wonderful producers of BGB [Maya & Sara] with the accrue-age. Yep, that's an accounting term for ya.
tis the season, eh.
The Finale - square fish samitches.
gnight!

Mmm...beer.
(b-day girl!)
(strawberry and banana short cake and beer was a yummy combo)
(Katharina and Glenn taking notes)
(a sign I found to be pretty interesting on my way to the bathroom)
(a couple of the judges)Birgitta came in 9th place, a couple of spots ahead of her beer enthusiastic dutch husband, Eduard, who won the gold medal last year (or the year before?).
(9th place - yay!)
Anyway. We got these cups and was supposed to walk around to the different tasting stations
that were all divided by the letters of the alphabet. The entire alphabet was represented, including the Norwegian"æ" "ø" "å". Needless to say, we got drunk. Very drunk. By the time they were calling out the winners, I was so wasted that I tried to lead a cheer in honor of the 3rd place. "Stout! Stout! Stout!"
It didn't really catch on.
