Audrey and I headed to the Puck Building for a girl's night out of beauty through Shecky's. There were a ton of people at the event:
A lot of vendors sold jewelry, beauty products, and some people were just there to promote their products. I did this quick hand massage and parafin wax - first they exfoliated my hands and then they dipped my hands in this parafin wax to lock in the moisture:
I was trying to do the robot for the picture, but it didn't turn out so well  .
There was also a "celebrity" chef at the event - Dave Lieberman - who signed books for fans (the lines were SO long...and we didn't even buy books, so we just took a picture from the side). He's pretty good looking in person and looks really cheery  :
(The event was also sponsored by Amstel Light and Midori, so we got samples of both).
There were a lot of interesting booths where you could get free samples and do tests; Audrey and I both entered a softlips contest so we could score some free lipgloss:
Do you think Audrey has what it takes to be the new spokesmodel for softlips?? She's entry number 526 - maybe it's online (actually, I just checked and I don't think it is). I actually don't like the lipgloss that much because it tastes really weird and I prefer something more glossy.
We also both did this age viewer where you looked into this mirror to see what's wrong with your face:
The guy working at the booth would look into the other side of the mirror and would tell you your flaws and how to correct them. Luckily, I don't have any sun spots (I attribute that to the SPF 50 that I wear on a daily basis). The guy told me that I need to exfoliate, but that was a pretty vague assessment considering everyone should exfoliate at least once in a while.

Today after work, Audrey and I went out with Dave Li and some coworkers for happy hour ($1 beers - you can't beat that in NYC) and then headed out to dinner with Jason and some other friends. On our way back, we walked by this dog GYM, it was the cutest thing EVER!! All these dogs were just in this room with a huge window, so of course I took the opportunity to take a picture of the cutest little dog staring out of the window:
I REALLY want to get a dog, especially because they're allowed in my building, but I definitely don't have the time yet.
We ended up eating in Bryant Park because it was the greatest day out (actually, it's been really nice out the past week, unlike the first week I was here). Afterwards, we headed back to Audrey's (where I'm staying) and got ready for bed, but then eventually we changed our minds and headed out to The Park, which is an indoor/outdoor bar (good for smokers since you can't smoke indoors anymore). Audrey and I met up with some of her friends from work and her past internship and we also met up with Sherry and her friend, Ian. We were just walking around in the upstairs bar and I saw this guy that looked REALLY familiar (and that NEVER happens to me in NYC since everyone lives in Chicago) and guess what - it was SAGAR RAVI, from Charleston HS:
We used to compete against each other in RADIO SPEAKING in high school (yes, I used to be on the speech team...AND in the marching band...AWESOME, I know). Anyway, Sagar and I lost touch when we went to college but now he's in NYC for law school (Columbia). What a small world!
Here's a picture of me and Audrey towards the end of the night:

Audrey and I headed to Union Square and Soho today to go window shopping. The weather has been so beautiful - not too hot but not cold either. After shopping, we met up with some of Audrey's friends from school and ate at the Singapore cafe in Chinatown and then got ice cream at the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory (which I talked about all during dinner  ). Dinner wasn't that great but it was really fun meeting Audrey's friends. After dinner, we headed to Aer in the meatpacking district with Jason, Kris, Alexis, and Jason's friend from work. They ended up buying three bottles since there were so many guys, but it ended up being really fun (and lots of dancing on tables for me and Audrey). Here's a picture of me and Audrey before the end of the night:
And a picture of me, Jason, and Alexis (she was upset that it was her last night - but don't worry, you'll be back before you know it):
One marriage proposal later, Audrey and I headed back to her place and passed out (after a long day of shopping and dancing, we were beat!).
I'm headed to Florida for the next month (but I'll be back for Labor Day) and then I'll be here for good! I'll be sure to update in Florida (and to write about my airport experience - wish me luck!)
