hey, working girl!

I want to apologize for my absence from the blog world, our computer was having technical difficulties and we had to send it to get fixed. It came back with new parts…and new problems. After our third trip to the Apple store, our computer is as good as new (we hope!)

I also want to apologize for our hiatus from the Sugar Darling Vintage shop! Since we moved to New York City, we’ve been focused on fixing up our apartment and finding jobs and so the store has been put on the back burner for a while. We also sold most of our inventory before the move in an attempt to travel across the country with as little as possible, so we have to do more shopping for vintage treasures and stock up for you darlings! We’ll have more goodies up soon!

Speaking of looking for jobs…I found one! It’s a company called Funky Divas and they are HUGE in LA, so they’re starting up a branch here in New York. They go to birthday parties and teach the kids a fun dance routine and play games and just have an all out Pop Star extravaganza! Perfect, right? Since they are just starting out here on the east coast, they don’t have any clients yet so there are a couple of events coming up where we are going to showcase what we do during a typical party in hopes that people will absolutely love it and want to hire us. The events are in the Hamptons, and the first one is tomorrow! I have to meet my coworker at 6 am at her place in the West Village, then take a cab all the way up to 135th street to meet the director at 6:30, then drive in a zip car all the way to Bridgehampton to hopefully be there by 10 am. Then we get to spend the day doing Pop Star hair and make up for darling children, then teach them a dance routine to perform in front of their parents and the rest of the crowd. So much fun! I’ll let you all know how it goes.

Tonight we went to our beloved Apple store in SoHo, not for another technical problem but to see Regina Spektor! She was just so other-worldly and delightful and I’m really glad we got the chance to hear her. I am always blown away when an artist sounds just as good live as they do on the album and this was no exception. Her melodies are so unique and the fact that she plays the piano automatically makes me eager to hear more. Please check her out if you haven’t already HERE.
