Here’s an idea:
My shopping posse. Kate and Goldie and I go way back.
If you are a presenter at the Aspen Ideas Festival — and not one of the part-time Aspen-residing, 2nd, 3rd, 4th… 17th home-owning members of the audience — it may not be such a great idea to panic about your outfit for the plenary session at which you are presenting and decide that you need to go on an emergency shopping excursion for a whole new ensemble, towing your unamused but ultimately gracious husband along for the fun. Further, it may not be such a terrific idea to buy shoes in a mountain resort community where the choices are ‘limited’ (I swear! I had no choice!) to Prada, Gucci, and Dior. The only business I had shopping in downtown Aspen was an excursion to the pharmacy, where I was persuaded my life wouldn’t be complete without a thick shellacking of Shiseido Urban Environment (?) UV Protection Cream for tomorrow’s excursion to the apparently non-urban Maroon Bells Mountains:
You will LOVE Maroon Bells – absolutely indescribable. But I encourage you to leave your wallet at home whenever you leave your room in Aspen.
Enjoy!!
I did love it! Absolutely fantastic. And, yes, the wallet is fully tethered now. (Plus we’re headed home.)
