Ever have one of those days? You know....the ones that are just perfect from beginning to end? I had one yesterday. It was too good not to share. My best friend and I took the train to NYC, which in the winter can be brutally cold, but yesterday was just gorgeous. It was the day of the Santa Claus pub crawl, so there were lots of Santas and elves on the train and in the streets, adding to the festive mood of the city at this time of year. We stopped by Bryant Park (pic #1) to see the skaters and to browse in the Winter Village there, so of course, I had to see what was up in the Sabon stall.(pic #2) I didn't buy anything, but it sure smelled good in there.
Then on to the real reason for the trip. We went to see Michael C. Hall in "Hedwig and the Angry Inch". (pic #3) If you're a fan of his in Dexter, you would have loved him in this production. I kept looking for some sign of Dexter there, but there was none to be found. O...M...G...he was fabulous!!! And so was Lena Hall, (pic #4) who has already won a Tony for her portrayal. We waited outside the stage door for almost an hour to see if we could get an autograph, but were told that Michael wouldn't come out until after the evening performance, but Lena did, and she was friendly and gracious, not to mention beautiful. It's hard to imagine that she can play such a totally believable guy, but she pulls it off convincingly. I just watched her on youtube, applying the make up for her transformation into Yitzhak, and I still can't believe it, she's nothing short of amazing!
We had a "dinner" of apps and drinks, then walked back to the station for the ride home. Grand Central had it's holiday face on. (pic #5) We slept all the way home, we had worked the night before and gotten up very early to make the train. We were two tired, very happy campers, and I'm still smiling this morning. Hope you enjoy the pics! :-D
