Always A Bridesmaid, Never A Bride

I have this fun new ditty on the DallasDirt blog you are just going to love…

The EQ3 Party

Well Laura, I will say this: the plastic surgeons of Dallas are doing quite well. Evidence was ample at last night’s EQ3 grand opening. Turns out “out-on-the-town cocktail cool” meant lots of strapless and halter-type dresses, which showed off every boob doctor’s handiwork. (Not complaining, just want to get my own.) In any case, I was very impressed with the party — valet, Aston Martins, security, food. Bowl-fuls of giant fresh berries for those of us who eat light, bacon-wrapped goodies and quesadillas for those who don’t, plus great mixed rum drinks for all. As for the merchandise, I was thinking better quality and style than IKEA (and you don’t have to put it together) but way more affordable than Design Within Reach. A nod to the 60’s with the colors, prints and paisley. EQ3 is from Canada and has stores in the Bay area; I am eying a $599 sofa and this cute boomerang table ($89) that can go anywhere for my son’s new apartment to keep him hip and impress the girls.

Then again, maybe not.

PS: Saw lots of designers — Kathy Adcock-Smith and Diane Linn, who trotted home with four shopping bags.

Looking For Something To Do Tonight?

The Goss-Michael Foundation invites you for cocktails and conversation with British artist duo Tim Noble and Sue Webster. Kenny Goss and George Michael’s private collection of Noble and Webster sculptures are currently on display at Goss-Michael through the end of September. Rub elbows with the artists themselves and throw a couple back from 6:30-8:30.

John Robshaw brings us Southeast Asia

I just got a card from John Robshaw Textiles listing their national showrooms and didn’t see Allan Knight, so, I immediately panicked because this is one of my favorite collections and must be available in Dallas.  His fresh batik prints on fine cotton are inspired by the intricate patterns in Indian designs and are available in fabrics,  paintings  (I have two), pillows and tabletop designs.  Oh, yes, pajamas.  Not to worry, I was still assured they have the line and you can see the new designs at the showroom.
