an ode to Apfel

Dear Iris,

I wish you were my grandmother. Then I'd live in your closet. Hug you a lot. and ask you over and over to tell me about your early days as a textiles gal. then I'd hug you some more.

Iris and Simon Doonan!!!!!! I think a post on him will be necessary. If you guys have not seen him as the Cranky Elf you're missing out...more on that later though.
