So today I was lucky enough to have breakfast in New York with two YLFers I had never met before -- Angie and Tarzy (Tara) -- as well as two whom I've had the pleasure of meeting several times -- Maya and Lisa. I met up with SO in the city last night, we stayed in the sleek and glamorous Royalton Hotel, and this morning I headed to Soho to meet the ladies for breakfast.

If you picture Angie as being incredibly effervescent and lovely, as well as stylish -- you're spot on. And Tara, our witty professional writer, was good enough to meet for breakfast even though she was on her way to the airport to jet from NYC to LA.

I had to depart shortly after breakfast -- but not before indulging in the tiniest bit of YLF shopping -- so I'm going to leave the details to those who were able to participate in the full day.

Just wanted to say that it was thrilling to finally meet Angie...
