It froze this week in New York.

It was 30 degrees below during the day, and I’m not just saying this – it’s obvious, really – no one knew how to dress, so everyone decided to stay home. I was on Broadway on Tuesday afternoon, and it was totally quiet, there wasn’t even a stray cat, as we say in French…

There are few things I like more than a bold eyebrow (for example: puppies, Tim Riggins and nail polish) and this look at the

I’ve always liked crosses. I simply find them very beautiful.

I wasn’t raised in a religious home – my father comes from a Catholic family and my mother from a Muslim family. They are both atheist, and I was never baptized or taught about any religion in particular.

I’ve gone to baptisms and celebrated Christmas just as often as I’ve helped my grandmother prepare the Eid meal. I was even invited to a Sabbath celebration recently, and I felt very honored. I have a lot of respect for religion.

So I didn’t think about it too much when I bought this cross. I found it sublime, perfect, and I wore it all the time – I still wear it!
