Sincerely Seeking Simon

Hi,

If any of my NY peeps know Simon Doonan, or anyone at Barneys corporate there in NY, please let me know. I have his contact info, but would love a name to get my foot in the door. I just dropped the scrilla for the books. They should ship tomorrow. And then it's off to the most gentle and races ever held! Ooh, it's gonna be fun!

What if YOU could make Oprah or Martha money working part time from home doing what you wanted every day? Would you do it? Would you do it if it took ten years? I'll let you know how it feels (although I'm already happier than a man's got a right to be in this day and age, it has been suggested to me--by powers beyond my understanding--that it's gonna get much much better. From three times [better than I was] to five times! Or maybe it was by a factor of 5. Either way you slice it it's lots and lots. Especially if you consider that I was diagnosed with severe chronic depression while I was writing T-LA [and suffered it for years and years].)

Plus it's snowing here in Chicago and it looks beautiful! Absolute magic in the house!! Getting tree this weekend and the Chicago clan will be over to decorate and eat dinner on Sunday. This is what it's all about. Can't wait til it's my house, my tree, and I've got a family of my own to add to the mix. I've waited a hell of a long time for this. I had friends making millions back in the 90s. Even the quasi-professional ones got houses a couple years ago. You will hear me roar, I guarantee it.

Double Luv,

E

ps: Just bought all my internet real estate! I'm poaching on a few more that should expire next year. Ya gotta have the dope domain names!

(follow up 12/21--Talked to him and he gave me the email of the person to talk to. Didn't exactly give a whit, tho. May be less "big pic." than I thought.)
