There's nothing like a little Doris Day to brighten a banal morning.
It’s another blar, blah rainy day here in New York City, but I am happily cocooned in the Brooklyn pad and watching Doris Day movies and writing stories… Pure bliss! I just finished Please Don’t Eat the Daisies and next up is With Six You Get Eggroll. Fabulous. There’s nothing like Doris to raise your spirits and add a little Technicolor into your life, n’est-ce pas?
Speaking of which: I want to make a pilgrimage out to Carmel, California to meet the winsome Miss Day, but that’s another blog post in of itself.
So what the hell does this have to do with India you are probably asking yourself right about now?
Doris Day?
India?
You don’t see the connection.
It’s all about fabulous color and energy, doubting Thomases and Thomasinas! Verve! Excitement! Doris Day is like a delicious pink bon-bon. And that’s how I feel about India, too.
So on this dreary day, I am dreaming of Indian colors–turquoises, pinks, acid greens, and glorious yellows.
So why not add a little Indian-infused color to your home this weekend?
A "moment" in the Thar Desert outside of Jodhpur. Look at that sunset and the dramatic, crenellated architecture. Sublime!
Maybe paint your powder room shocking pink…
Or buy yellow pillows for your outdoor furniture…
Gorgeous ladies in the Jodhpur market. I am crazy about their Technicolor-hued saris. Use these sassy minxes to inspire you this weekend.
Perhaps paint your front door blue?
The interior of the Hot Pink "concept" store in Jaipur. Fabulous colors and a jaunty sensibility. Bring some of this look into your home. My advice: Make a run to World Market this weekend!

Delish! This just feeds my current addiction for pink & orange. Gonna need a 12 step plan soon or maybe I’ll switch to Kelly green and cobalt!
