8 1/2 narrows.

Jamie had to work and her college roommate Alison came into town for a long weekend.  I took Alison around — to The Getty, where we looked at the bronze exhibit with another RISD alum… to Beverly Hills, where we looked at shoes on Rodeo Drive…and lunch at Neiman-Marcus before we went to the beach.  

A few days after Alison returned to New York, a package arrived in the mail.  From Donald J. Pliner.  I opened it up and pulled out a stunning pair of black boots.  Alison’s thank you to ME for taking her around.  And here I thought it had been MY pleasure.
