Cleaning Up a National Treasure
August 14, 2008 by Milan Westin
No, this is not about the movies starring Nicholas Cage. Unfortunately, this is real and actually very sad that we have allowed the Chesapeake Bay, the nation's largest watershed to reach this level of pollution. At 7,000 square miles it supports more than 3,600 speci...Read More

The Power of Three Plus One

The Power of Three Plus One
August 9, 2008 by Napster
Private plane or not, jet lag is a killer. I am tired but I’m awake because I’m still on London time. So here I am watching the Damages marathon on TV while the girls are watching a rerun of the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics online. Quite frankly, I d...Read More

The Trip Home

The Trip Home
August 8, 2008 by Imadge Mekker
Meeting Milan’s father was a pleasant surprise already. Learning that my roommate’s dad is a geeky version of Brad Pitt made me think of how Beatrice would react when she finds out, or does she know already? And, if meeting Mackenzie Westin was not enough, he invited us ...Read More

A Puppy in my Purse

A Puppy in my Purse
August 7, 2008 by Milan Westin
“Are you girls ready?” Napster asked his two companions. He still could not believe how smooth the photo shoot went. He likes shooting with natural light and surprisingly enough the weather cooperated. Thus, instead of spending the whole day at Windsor as he had planned,...Read More

The Queen’s Dog
August 6, 2008 by Imadge Mekker
At Windsor Castle, the Queen’s Welsh Corgis were all settling down after their walk except for one female who just had puppies about six weeks ago. She was still taking care of her little ones. “I am going to miss the little puppies when they are gone.” “Aye, i...Read More

Fashion Week 101: London Spring 2009
August 5, 2008 by Napster
I can’t believe I was just watching the season finale of Dr Who starring David Tennant last Friday, and here I am in London reading about how the Scottish actor known in pop culture as Barty Crouch, Jr. in Harry Potter is going to be playing Hamlet on stage. Like in...Read More

Fashion Week 101: Revelations
August 4, 2008 by Imadge Mekker
Whew! That was easy. Milan is so eager to experience new things that she was practically begging to be included. But, I still have to be very careful. She is a sweet girl, a little naïve perhaps, but with a very fast learning curve. I also feel guilty deceiving her. Actu...Read More

The Accidental Political Pundit

The Accidental Political Pundit
August 2, 2008 by Milan Westin
I don’t understand why Napster and Imadge had to go on discussing politics. I understand that this is an election year. It’s bad enough that I have to listen and read about the Veepstakes (as in who will be the running mate of Barack Obama and John McCain); and now I hav...Read More

The Celebticians: Obama & Sarkozy

August 1, 2008 by Imadge Mekker
If Paris Hilton started the term celebutante, i.e., short for celebrity / debutante for the uninitiated in entertainment lingo, Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France actually invented a new genre of world leaders – the celebtician, which is as you guess, short of CELEBRITY ...Read More
