Who would ever need the "trappings of a white dress" when we have the splendor of life in Eastern Europe?!?!

Last night, in Szimpla, I taught Natalie our toast from Istanbul: Thank god we didn't go to law school!

Yup, thanks for that, for no white dress and for none of the conventional stuff. And thanks for having an AWESOME friend like you to share this all with this year. Hope you had a fab birthday!

(PS: and who took that HOT photo of you? Whoever she is, I bet she is really hot and smart and....)
