Live From Ext 212
I found myself a little star struck today when I was crossing Broadway, in SoHo, and saw my second favorite blogger, in the whole world, walk past me, in the opposite direction. I found myself wanting to shout out, "Cia!" But that would've been completely embarrassing, given that she has no clue who I am.
I've been reading Cia's blog for about two years now and I've become a fan of her writing. It's not just that she is such a meticulous and hilariously compulsive chef/foodie/amateur food critic, or that she has informally reviewed just about every 5-star joint in Manhattan, or even that she and I have similar tastes in music, or that she's the type of person I could imagine playing a bit part in Sex And The City.
No. I think what I like about Cia is a hint of abashed humor and innocence that suffuses many of her posts - whether it's an alpha characteristic, or not - it's still there. And it makes every post of her's seem intriguingly personal ... because you really get a sense of that shadow personality. There's a sensitivity and lyrical delicacy to her writing, you feel like you're eaves dropping on the private conversations of a young girl, - even if that young girl is the type who routinely disparages the fois gras at Zagat rated restaurants.
