don’t forget Palladium!
actually– i totally remember (before i started working for peter-gatien myself) it was at Palladium that i saw kenny-kenny for the very first time.
i was maybe about 19 or 20, and my date took me there after dinner. it was so mobbed at the door and we just kept pushing our way to the front just to desperately try and catch kenny-kenny’s eye.
i recall it was dead of winter and FREEZING COLD and we were all wind swept and red nosed, and right when i started to think maybe we are getting hypothermia and how awful we must look with liquefied snot practically running down our faces, i thought to myself: “oh pleeeease godddd maybe just at least let him recognize my date’s coat is an armani and mine is a versace…”
and BOOM right at that very moment kenny-kenny picked us and plucked us out of the crowd and rescued us from impending pneumonia.
:)
ha ha haa so you see? PRAYER WORKS.
