shop girl
Boozhoo from the West Coast! Emberly here. May I say that San Francisco was as gray as a newspaper on Sunday? So off to the movies. We saw: Shop Girl. Steve Martin. Claire Danes. Adapted from Steve Martin's book of the same name. Steve Martin, lonely rich old bachelor, pulls in a girl in her late 20's. Right-o. Nothing new there.
But one look at the minimalist furniture chez Martin, the floor to ceiling windows, and, oh, be still my heart, the stainless steel in the kitchen and I knew I was in the grips of the ultimate male fantasy. I know men are the new women, but all those gratuitous shots of slim, long-legged tables, the creamy marble, the up-to-the-second electronics...Steve Martin is a dirty, dirty old man.
