Happy Birthday to Vera and Guy!

Let's all wish a very happy birthday to two of the most important people in my life - my "bestest girlfriend" Vera (known to most as Carl), and my roommate Guy. Yes, the Libra birthdays just keep coming.

Below are a couple of pictures of the birthday girls. Don't they look so young and fresh?! Vera is on the left, with Guy on the right.



These pictures were taken a few years ago in our old apartment. Vera was visiting from Pennsylvania to attend the Puerto Rican Day Parade - or as I like to call it - "Papis on Parade". I'm telling you, they should make that Sunday a national holiday. You CANNOT IMAGINE the gorgeousness on display.

Here is last week's birthday girl Toni with both Vera and Guy. Toni has a way of getting herself photographed.



And finally, here is a picture of Vera making love to the Coach store - trying to get a free bag...


I have known Vera since High School, when he was a well-dressed varsity swimmer. In fact, he was voted "Best Dressed" of his high school class. And he still has all his old fierce outfits in a closet somewhere!

Guy has lived with me for years and years (poor thing). At least he doesn't have to wash all my dirty dishes now - our new apartment came complete with a dishwasher (which I love!).

Today is also Kelly Ripa's (from Live with Regis and Kelly) birthday, so they are in good company......another friggin Libra!

Daily Affirmation

This one is in honor of Toni, the birthday girl. She is SCARED TO DEATH of clowns......and Jello......and feet............let's just say she has issues.

Happy Birthday Toni!

Happy Birthday Toni! Yes, my longtime friend (and former Sirabella’s Restaurant co-worker) is celebrating her birthday today.




Isn't she adorable?! Some of you may not know this, but Toni was once a Second Runner-Up in the "Miss Brooklyn Housing Projects" beauty pageant. And she has the certificate to prove it!

This reminds me - I MUST share some Sirabella's stories with you all from time to time. Like the one about the Tranny who worked as a hostess, or the owner's famous quote: "I don't know WHERE you're going to find Romaine on a night like tonight" (answer: the grocery store, dumbass!), or maybe the one about how they kept the Dining Room dark so you couldn't see the roaches. Good times...good times....

Toni's birthday also marks the beginning of what I like to call "Birthday Hell". It seems like almost everyone I know was born between now and October 14 (friggin Libras!). The Hallmark store LOVES me this time of year.

Happy birthday Sweet Pea.
