Close to Culture

One of the best parts of Villa living is how close we are to the finest that Atlanta has to offer.  We can walk to the High Museum, the Atlanta Symphony, Alliance Theatre...it's a hike, and you might not want to sit by us when we get there if its summer, but we can walk it.

Yesterday I experienced another cultural moment, about the same hot & sweaty hop, skip and jump away (although I confess to driving the 1.4 miles).   Borders - Brookwood Place (now closed) hosted Anthony Williams signing the cover of Marie Claire's April issue, which features Heidi Klum wearing his winning design from Project Runway.  Now we're talking culture!

What fun!  While in line I was entertained by Scott Hennessy, an intern with Anthony's management company, who offered to use his camera to take my photo with Anthony, since I didn't bring mine.  (Like Heidi, I wore blue.)

Scott emailed the photo to me before bedtime.  (Note to Image Architects & Management, LLC of Atlanta, GA: Scott makes a great member of your team!)

When I finally stood at the signing table, Anthony and I bonded over our home state of Alabama.  We forgave each other's allegiance to the "wrong" football team back home, although Anthony did cry "Security!" when my son called my cell phone & Anthony heard the ring tone--Auburn University's fight song "War Eagle."

Driving home on Peachtree Street, I saw my sister Elizabeth headed to the store, so I turned around and went back through the line with her.  Again, Scott came to the rescue with his camera.  We laughed so much, we hurt.

Just another day of Villa living.
