My friend Cathy is currently on the road in Europe for 5 weeks on Randy Newman’s European tour. When it became clear that our schedules allowed for us to overlap in Amsterdam for a few days, I immediately asked Cathy if there was anything she needed me to bring from Los Angeles. Cathy confessed there were a few tops at our mutual favorite store, Bleu Clothing, that she wouldn’t mind me bringing in my suitcase. As a woman who travels a lot I know how much sometimes you get sick of the clothes in your suitcase and would love to add something new into the rotation.
So now I am here in Amsterdam, as a Bleu Clothing mule.

Confession: sometimes I mule clothes for friends. I also have been known to mule French and British iTunes Gift Cards so that friends can keep current and legally download ITV series “Downton Abbey” and the BBC’s “Thick of It.”
Here are some Amsterdam photos from my first day and night on the Amstel.
