Jean-Paul Gaultier, Harry Potter, Princeton, BIRTDAY!!

Whew this week was busy!! Here's a recap:

On Wednesday for class we were able to go and tour Jean-Paul Gaultier's studio. For those of you who don't know, Gaultier is a fashion icon. He has dressed and designed many famous celebrities and is a fashion legend. We were able to meet some people who worked there and take a tour of his studio. The building was GOREGOUS! It was very old, and had beautiful architecture on the ceiling. It reminded me a lot french articture. It used to be a very famous mansion apparently. We were able to go through the whole builiding and see his new collections--hint. bright colors, polka dots, and gold chains are going to be HUGE for the Spring! It was cool to see another aspect of the entertainment industry because I had never really put together the music business and working in fashion, but it really is a huge part of an artists image. Who knows, maybe I'll work in fashion! haha.

On Thursday we went to the primer of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows! We bought tickets like a month in advance to see it in the IMAX theaters! It was so crazy how many people were there. The line was at least 2 blocks long. If you haven't seen it---GO!

On Friday a tagged along with my fellow students, who are taking a course about Entertainament Law, to Princeton University to meet their professor for lunch. It was kind of an obstacle to get there, but was a great adventure! We took the New Jersey Train Transit to get there, and I felt like i was in the Polar Express! The conductor came around and punch our tickets and everything! I was just waiting for the hot chocolate time to roll out. It was a beautiful train ride with lots of trees. It really made me miss Arkansas and Tennessee for sure. The town of Princeton was gorgeous! So quiant with coffee shops and little boutiques all over the place. We went to lunch at the famous " Tap Room" where many legends dined. They have a booth where Albert Einstein used to sit and he carved his name in the table. Look for his signature in the picture!  The campus was wonderful, full of really cool buildings. It really made me miss being a student! ( because I really feel like I'm not right now).

On Saturday it was Barbara's birthday! We went to Rockefeller Plaza and went ice skating! The Christmas tree was up, but it was hidden under a poster because they will light it next week. Did you know there is a job position just for someone to find the tree? That's what they do all year long! Crazy! The tree really was huge though! After ice skating, we went to a great restaurant called Mother Burger and ate and enjoyed each other's company!

Charlie Gibson!

Look for the Big E.

My folks come in today for Thanksgiving week! We are going to have so much fun at the Macy's Day Parade (hopefully if it doesn't rain!). Keep you fingers crossed for good weather while they are here!
