My story made the cover. No, I am not a debutante of a bygone era. And I am also not a member of the Deer Path Girls’ Cross Country Team. I’ll let you figure out which story is mine.
Sorry, as of yet, there is no link to the actual article. I haven’t even seen it yet. This is so surreal. Am I dreaming? Speaking of dreaming, I dreamt the other night that He-weasel and I bought a house back in Forest and Bluff. He had a job. Everything was settled. And then I woke up. As I told Igor, I think my dreams have become masochistic. If I dream tonight that I am getting published in the New Yorker I think I am going to give up on sleep.
Hm…you are doing some work in your dreams right now, aren’t you…
Remember that I dreamed that your book was published (even if it had a different and nutty name).
Have a great weekend, friend…
Oh don’t worry LBR, sleep is over-rated most of the time. Of course at others it’s the stuff that dreams are made of………
Congrats La Belle…..I would love to read the article…shall have to wait……Don’t give up dreaming…more often than not they are better than the real thing! xv
Congrats Bellette, please post the article when you can, I would love to read it. I don’t think the magazine is likely to come my way here in Barcelona…
No WAY! Way! That’s fantastic. What a nice feather in your cap. You deserve it, girlfriend.
xoxo
I hope they link to the article soon! I can’t wait to read it!!
That cover got me daydreaming… There’s days when I long for times past when I wasn’t even born… The glamour, the dressing up… *sigh*
xox
And what a beautiful cover to be on:).
Each time I pop open the NY Times, I don’t see your book on the bestseller list, so how about speeding this whole dreams-becoming-reality process up, huh?
Congratulations! So some dreams do come true . . .
*HIGH FIVE*
Congratulations! This is so awesome for you!
This is fantastic! I look forward to reading the article.
That is brilliant! If they go put it on line please put a link up.
Yay! I can’t wait to read it when it’s available. And as of today, Gray Kitty and the Christmas Kitten is live in the iTunes App store, so people all over the world are enjoying your Lily and her kitty friends
.
Thanks all!!:-) As soon as I get the green light from the Editor at Forest and Bluff to put up a PDF file I will let you know.
I hope I get my copy in the mail soon. I am doing a lot of nail biting.
I keep imagining you in a Cover Girl commercial.
LOL!! That’ll be the day!;-)
Wonderful news!
That is one WASPY magazine. Whoo. Grosse Pointe is feeling inferior right now (I can sense the vibes from my office). Lovely, timeless cover, though.
It is, as LPC would say, a HIgh-WASP magazine. LOL! Grosse Pointe is very WASPy. Forest and Bluff is just a bit bluer in their blood.;-)
Belle, how incredibly wonderful!! & what a beautiful cover for the magazine with your story on the cover. I just love it. And this is fine proof that dreams do come true… the New Yorker is not far behind, I feel… just sayin’!! Congratulations beautiful You!
From your mouth to the New Yorker’s ears!;-)
That’s fantastic! Congrats, LBR!!!
XO
A.
That’s awesome! Another big step up, next time you’ll be on the cover! Cheryl
OMG, this is so special…now I know a celebrity! Can’t wait to read your article, have a great weekend…can we get together before Christmas?
xoxo
Of course!
i miss my dreams and think that your’s are fabulous….keep having them as they are either teaching you something, pointing the way in or out of something or allowing you to see who you are…just my opinion, something i always have!
xoxo
I hate dreams!
I have a love/hate relationship with them.;-)
But I’m happy for you! Congratulations on your “cover!”
Thanks so much! This is so much fun to share with you. I sort of feel like I am dreaming( in a good way).
That’s awesome! How cool! And what a gorgeous cover to be part of.
xoxo
I had a feeling that you were going to be a star !
Darling, you’re a star! It’s simply too much. I’ve got to sit down. I know, I’ll have one of the staff emote for me! I’ve got to high-tail it over to Mabel’s and steal a copy off her coffee table. Oh, don’t look at me that way. She never actually reads any of it. Why, she’s had Town & Country there for so long, some of the issues are carved on stone tablets. It says here that Mrs. Moses was a cut throat mah jong player!
air kisses,
Babs
Never mind Babs. I’m super proud of you, Weasel Friend, and so pleased for you. You deserve this!
xoxo
Tiger Friend
I do hope you can get us a link cause I don’t think that’s a mag we will ever get here!
You are really becoming quite the famous blogger bless you!
I don’t know why you just don’t sleep 12 hours a night!
You should be so thrilled, look at all of the success you are manifesting.
Fantastic!!! Congrats! I’d love to read the article.
This is delightful. I’m very happy for you and look forward to reading the pdf. I’m looking forward even more to reading ‘Thursdays With Igor’. I know you’ll hit the big time with that one and you’re already well on your way to being ‘known’ by the literary crowd.
You, Miss LBR, are a rock star. Seriously so. Yippee-skippee!
tp
so cool! congrats
Congrats on the article’s publication!
I don’t know if Forest and Bluff is ready for you (especially based on that cover, my stars! — but I know you’re reading for F&B. Hoping your next article for them has a “local author Belette” tag.
["I know you're ready for F&B" that is -- so much for my proofreading skills!]
This is delightful. I’m glad you’ve got this big dose of happiness, and I look forward to reading the piece.
Of course,congratulations.
I haven’t read all the comments, but did anyone else notice how similar the woman on the cover of Forest and Bluff is to the woman on the couch at the top of your blog. Are they the same person?
WOW!!!!!!They do look alike. I am guessing that the model on my analytic couch is not a Lake Forest debutante. But they certainly do look a like. Great catch, K!!!!
Thanks!!:-)

Dear Stephen( who is an animus ideal even without a tie;-):
Thank you for sharing the list of who’s-who of Forest and Bluff. I do hope that someday I make that list. I know where Mr. T’s house was. He doesn’t live there anymore. I pity the fool who doesn’t live in Forest and Bluff!;-)
thanks again!:-)
It was an awesome article with a stunning photo! Yay, you!
