    Please tell me you had a Nathan’s hot dog.

      And fries. And two beers, six oysters, four clams, my fair share of a funnel cake and two sips of something that was supposed to be a strawberry daiquiri.

    I’m assuming you made it to the Mermaid Parade. How was it?

    Love, love, love the bag!

      We went the day before the Mermaid Parade! I forgot all about the parade and definitely didn’t have the energy to drag myself back today. Disappointing. The mermaids will have to wait until next year.

    Dearest Wendy,

    Real question: How can you wear jeans in the summer w/o being miserable in the heat?

      Sea breezes helped me keep my cool, luckily.

    Every guy on Coney Island was drooling over Wendy. Or maybe they were just drooling… a lot of drunks and weirdos in that place! πŸ˜‰

    Liking the Houlihans! I tried a pair and they were far too tight – had to send them back.

    Nice wedges… Love Love Love! Just went across to Stacy’s blog to check out the photo’s.. looks like you had a fab day. And I find myself suffering a strange longing for a stuffed blue dolphin. Misplaced childhood perhaps? x

    You look great! I love those shoes so much.

    We should go out together, because I have those same pantsβ€”in a faded green! We could be twins!

    Fabulous wedges! I just Googled you (yeah, I have stalker-ish tendencies) and found out that you used to work in the media industry. Do you miss it at all? Did you always have a passion for fashion and jewelry design? Sorry for the 20 questions, I’m trying to find some direction in my own life!

    Can’t wait to see more of your Coney Island photos. Maybe you had a bite to eat at my cousin’s/uncle’s place, Paul’s Daughter, on the boardwalk on the corner opposite the old Cyclone? Had my first clams and oysters on the half-shell there at 2yrs old!

    Those daiquiris are such a rip-off, but the funnel cake is perfection. My last funnel cake was Coney Island and I was pregnant and it was like manna from heaven. Better. And I adore those wedges!
