The audience warmer at the Daily Show with Jon Stewart caught sight of her and uttered something along the lines of "'been wanting to touch that hair of yours" and he did! She may not have brought the show's ratings any higher but she certainly became the center of attention. You be the judge, the haircut suits her well and of course she's got beautiful hair; if I had that style I'll look like an electrocuted Asian hag.I met and befriended her during our trip to Spain a couple of years ago and since then we've been in touch. From her home in Texas, she travels quite often to NY to visit and stay with her friend Phyllis whom we also met during our trip.
It was a simple but delightful dinner with our friends at our usual work hangout Simply Pasta but this one is extra special. Chantal hit the big 40 so we told her the rules are simple. You stay forty from here on and nobody better challenge that. No fanfare; we just had a make-believe birthday cake , a plate of profiteroles - three cream puffs each filled with toffee, chocolate and vanilla ice cream and drizzled with chocolate fudge. Lickity split house specialty.
Happy birthday Chantal. Till your next visit, we'll be sitting by the door.
