12 01 AM THUSDAY AT MARIE"S CRISIS

I KNOW I HAVENT YET DISCUSSED MY ONE MONTH IN MIAMI AND THERE IS ALOT TO COVER
I PROMISE TO HIT IT THIS WEEKEND

TONIGHT I WAS OUT WITH A DEAR OLD FRIEND WHO HAS KNOWN ME FOR HALF OF MY LIFE, MARIA LABRECHE AKA MARIA LOMBARDI AKA MOOTS.
SHE IS NOW A WIFE AND A MOM
20 YRS AGO SHE WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO EVER GET ME DRUNK
AT THE CLEVELANDER HOTEL IN MIAMI BEACH ON A SUNDAY WITH OUR MODEL KIM FAZE. TEQUILA SHOTS
I WAS A JUNIOUR BOOKER/ ASSISTANT AT IRENE MARIE
WHEN I MOVED TO NYC AND WORKED FOR MEN/ WOMEN AKA PAUL ROWLAND AT WOMEN AND THEN BOSS MODELS I HIRED HER TO WORK FOR ME. I WAS THERE THE DAY SHE MET HER HUSBAND(LANCE LABRECHE OWNER OF ROCKET GARAGE MGMT), BOUGHT HER FIRST HOME IN COLD SPRING AND HAD HER DAUGHTER ELENA. SHE IS ONE OF THE MOST ORGANIC AND GENUINE PEOPLE I HAVE EVER AND WILL KNOW. I TRULY CHERISH HER.
BACK IN THE DAY BEFORE THE MAN AND THE KID, AND SHE WAS IN NYC ..SHE WOULD DRINK ANYONE UNDER THE TABLE. MARIA LOOKS LIKE KIRSTIE ALLY AND STEPHANIE SEYMOURS SHORTER SISTER.BUT WHEN SHE GOT MARRIED AND PREGNANT AND THEN BECAME A MOM, SHE RETIRED HER OLD PARTY HEARTY WAYS
ONCE N AWHILE I CAN SEE IN HER EYES THE FLICKER OF THAT CRAZY GIRL. EVERY NOW N AGAIN SHE WILL SIP HER DEWARS AND FLIP HER HAIR BACK N FORTH.
LATELY I SAID TO MY FRIEND" WHY DONT U PLAY HOOKY EVERY ONCE N AWHILE AND COME TO THE CITY(SHE NOW LIVES IN COLD SPRING)AND PLAY WITH YOUR FAVORITE GAY"... TONIGHT SHE FINALLY TOOK ME UP ON THE OFFER
AND WE HAD A CHIILL DINNER AT MY PLACE AND SOME MALIBU AND DIET COKE
REMINCSCED ABOUT OLD AGENCY BULLSHIT FROM OUR INSANE BOSS MODEL DAYS, FUNNY INSIDE JOKE SORT OF STORIES, TRICKS WE TRICKED WITH , ETC..AND THEN SUDDENLY I WAS BUZZED AND SHE WAS HAMMERED...
WE HEADED TO MARIE"S CRISIS, A CABERET BAR IN THE VILLAGE WHERE OLD BROADWAY MUSICIANS GO AND SING STANDARDS AROUND AN DUSTY PIANO. WE HAD A BLAST. WE SANG"ONE NIGHT ONLY" "LA VIE EN ROSE" "LADY IS A TRAMP" AND I SAW MY OLD FRIEND AGAIN, HAPPY, LIGHT AND AS BEAUTIFUL AS EVER
TONIGHT WAS A BRILLIANT TIMELESS NEW YORK NITE.

I LOVE YOU ALL
GOOD NIGHT

LOVE YOU MARIA XOXOXOXO
