Dr. Krim"s My New BFF

I am such a HUGE fan of Dr. Mathilde Krim! Recently, I had the chance to bring her and Phill Wilson together for a conversation, airing online at www.inthelifetv.org in December 2008.

Last night, I was graciously invited by Phill Wilson to celebrate the opening of a NY office for The Black AIDS Institute at the home of Dr. Krim. I was captivated by a 500lb horse head on what Dr. Krim told me was a 600lb pedestal in her hallway. I loved how Dr. Krim told us she and a friend found it at a place that sells cherubs in Long Island, it was made for a restaurant in Saratoga, that had decided they did not want it. There were two horses and they were buried in sand when she spotted them and decided they both would take each of these 500lb horse heads. Alexis and I were wondering if the other horse head belonged to Liz Taylor, but we didn't ask. Dr. Krim said she liked it because it looks like the Elgin horse sculptures at the Pathenon, pictured above.
Now I want to go to Greece. First we will tackle Venice, later this month!!! I can't wait!!
