P21.JPGYou know how you’re all “Oh what do I care if there are a gajillion bazillionaires, I’m fine just being happy and not letting wanton materialism ruin my life.” Then you come to find out: There’s a booming luxury submarine industry? And now I realize: I really, really, need a submarine. Really. – Kiran

A TYPICAL DAY AT CHEZ K 

P12.JPGRestaurant patrons make such outlandish requests sometimes. Maybe once a week I get a group of people ordering “puddin’ phlism-phlasm, bism-basm, poppin’, baaaaaah”, requesting organic free-range radicchio or Splenda. Then there are the people who get too amped on the caffeine. When they sit down and finally look at the menu, they’re so wired that their brain can’t connect what they want, with communicating it with the server, with what’s on the menu. Overcaffeinated people. Scary. – Kiran

P11.JPGIf I had $2 million dollars, I’d donate it to charity. Or at least buy myself a Ferrari. That’s sort of like donating it right? To the Ferrari dealership? – Kiran  

 

LABOR DAY 

P3.JPGThe heat and humidity was a bit wistful today as the summer officially comes to a close. But Labor Day also gave us one government-sanctioned holiday to: make a last-ditch effort to look good in white pants, use Drambuie as sunscreen and work on your tan. (My skin tone is now Hickory Twilight.) – Kiran   

P1.JPGWhat’s blowing up in the fashion world right now? Fruit Boots – the ultimate zipperless, foot-beautifying, must-have accessory for the season. Coated in a new Teflon-latex compound pioneered by NASA, the soles are edible and come in seven different flavors. (They’re even low-carb!) I think Huckleberry is my favorite. Oh, I also like Carambola. – Kiran
