Happy Birthday to my “Angelito Lindo!” You have brought nothing but warmth and sunshine into our lives since the snowy mid winter day of your arrival 18 years ago today. Thank you for the experience of being a “boy mom” my second time around, and for showing me how sweet and tender a love that would bring. Your family adores you and we are so lucky to know you and to watch you grow and become… “On the day that you were born the angels got together and decided to create a dream come true so they sprinkled moondust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue. Just like me, they long to be close to you…” #TheCarpenters

I lost a friend today. He was a unique and a true New Yorker, even though he was from Savannah, Georgia. This is the last photo we took together at Lincoln Center in 2018. I met Bobby Zarem in 1992 at the Rainbow Room after seeing Liza Minnelli perform at Radio City Music Hall. Does it get any more New York City than that? We met and started talking on the revolving dance floor. I was on the part that moved and Bobby kept side stepping to keep up with me. We became great friends after that. He took me to MLB games, NBA games, and to see performances at ABT, the Met and Broadway with regularity for over two decades. He helped me out with my early charity endeavors and even joined me on a trip to El Salvador. I started working on a documentary project nearly ten years ago about my early days in NYC. Bobby was one of the people who inspired that project. He introduced me to so many legends across every area of the arts and entertainment fields. He knew everyone who was anyone in NYC. He told the best stories and had the best manners but also the sharpest tongue. He was sweet, and shy and self deprecating one minute and then brash and unforgiving the next. I loved the range in his personality. Always interesting and interested. I will miss him in this world. 💙
Seeing yesterday’s news footage of planes leaving Afghanistan was more than I can bear. It brought me back 20 years when I visited Afghanistan at the start of this mess. My husband, then fiancé, could not believe that I had agreed to an opportunity to visit Afghanistan in Jan 2002. Just six months after 9/11 and I didn’t have to think twice about it to respond “yes” when I got the call from the Today Show asking if I had any interest in covering a story about @unicef and a “Back to School” campaign for girls following the Taliban’s retreat out of Kabul.
The producer and I joined our small crew at the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad, which was bombed in September 2008. We stayed there for a night before catching our flight to Kabul the following day. The same Hamid Karzai International airport in the news now had recently been destroyed and our plane in was one of the first to land once it opened again. I stayed with the UNICEF team in Kabul while the crew stayed in the NBC house across town. We spent the next several days visiting schools and makeshift classrooms around the city until we met Scheherazade, the 15 year old who approached us at the entrance of her school one morning. She walked right up and in perfect English asked for computers for her sisters and peers. She was open and friendly and invited us to follow her home to meet her family. They had moved to Peshawar after the Taliban came and had just returned. Scheherazade’s father had taken his daughters and wife out of Afghanistan so that they could continue to be educated. Now that they were back, they could safely attend school again.
She and all the children in these photos I took are grown now, and probably have families of their own that they would do anything to protect. Women are seeing years of progress towards their freedoms being undone before their eyes, families are displaced and need emergency food, water, and protection. Please consider donating to any of the organizations listed above in their relief efforts for the people of Afghanistan.

Thank you for this gem @arthurelgort. I remember this trip like it was yesterday. This shoot location was Barbados for @britishvogue in 1986 with the incredible #LizTilberis as editor. I was 17 and so excited to be there, or anywhere new! By this time Arthur and I were a team. Alongside @hairbychristiaan and others who became a family over the years. So many memories and photos to bring it all back again. Thank you.
What an absolute honor to present my friend and mentor @arthurelgort with The Lifetime Achievement Award from @dailyfrontrow this evening. So many memories and this clip shows some of the earliest ones…
Happy Birthday to my favorite daughter @graciebrns What a year of so many exciting firsts and adventures for you. First time to vote. First marathon in NYC. First magazine cover. First half marathon in Tanzania. First issue of your own magazine. First choice college. May you have a continued blessed life path, Baby G. Keep smiling and discovering parts of yourself to express in all the ways. I love you so much and can’t wait to celebrate 19 with you tonight! 💞
