Somewhere, a Peacock Curses Me
As you saw in my previous post, I packed up my feathery shawl and went to D.C. for the evening to attend an inaugural party thrown by The Root. The green gown is by my designing friend Zang Toi. He made two peacock accessories to go with it: the shawl and a fan. I wore…

Last week, our friend David Ng, the executive editor of the New York Daily News, received an award from the Asian American Federation. I wore a dress by Zang Toi to the celebratory dinner.
