Eloise: An Update…

I really loved the Eloise books when I was a kid. I still proudly own my copy of Eloise in Moscow.

Here is an excerpt from an update on Eloise in The New Yorker…

I am Eloise
I am forty-six

I am a city girl
I live at the Crowne Plaza

There is a lobby with purple lights and silver-and-gold confetti things hanging from the ceiling
You can find videos of the elevators on YouTube…

Sometimes I talk to Mark-on-the-sidewalk, who sells fraudulent merchandise to tourists
I ask, “How’s business, Mark?”
and he says, “Hey, you want some comedy-club tickets? I can get you into Caroline’s, cheap,”
and I say, “Not today, thank you very much”
Ooh, I love love love Times Square!

Some fun reading for Friday…
