Q. I want a fiction book that takes place in New York City. I looked over the internet a little but didnt find too much of my interest.Here is what I found( I put the summary so you can see what type of book I am looking for):
Candace Bushnell-4 Blondes
Summary: Come to the playgrounds of Manhattan�s powerful and beautiful. Get an insider�s look at the romantic intrigues, liaisons, and betrayals among the elite. This novel chronicles the lives of four beautiful women�a model, a columnist, a socialite, and a writer�as they face turning points in which each must choose between her passions.
J.M Mcdonell-Half Crazy
Summary:Miranda, a beautiful blond from Arkansas, moves into a New York "garden" (a big city euphemism for basement) apartment with an unfinished dirt floor. It's like a bad joke: she has come to make it big as a fashion model. As she moves in with her dog, Pete, she meets upstairs neighbor David, who's gay and writes bad romance novels. She and David fast become good friends. What's more, within days Miranda lands a big fashion job, and within months her face is on the covers of major magazines. But, jealousy and trouble soon follow.
Lauren Henderson-Strawberry Tattoo
Summary:Sam Jones, sculptress and reluctant sleuth, can't resist the opportunity to do Manhattan when she's invited to New York for a group show at a gallery featuring young British artists. New York, loud and brash as Sam herself, welcomes her with open arms and plenty of her favorite margaritas. She's even reunited with Kim, a best friend from childhood who's transformed herself into a quintessential New Yorker, complete with weekly spinning classes and an East Village studio apartment. Despite Sam's promise to stay out of trouble, however, trouble keeps finding her -- one of the gallery's employees is found strangled in Central Park's Strawberry Fields not long after Sam arrives, and the gallery itself has been trashed with graffiti. While Sam's new Manhattan friends pop Prozac and fret about the police investigation, the rest of the young Brits turn up in New York, including the one Sam drunkenly groped in a club not so long ago. Will the exhibition be a success? Will Sam's current boyfriend -- the dashing actor Hugo -- find out about her moment of abandon? And will the details of the strawberry tattoo give away the murderer's identity before Sam herself becomes a target?
It dosn't have to be about crime...I perfer not. want something that has to do with love,life or dreams such as the books above. Also something that dosn't takes Place in the olden days.Some book that takes place in the modern day.
Please tell me the books that you have found and a short summary of it. THANKS!
P.S.I love N.Y! lol.

A. The Clique
Although the characters in the book go to many different places, most of the action in the stories take place in Westchester County, New York. The girls go to school at Octavian Country Day School (OCD), a private all-girls school. Other incidents occur at the Briarwood Academy (OCD's boys school), the Westchester mall, and at various characters' houses.
Massie Block: Massie Block is the alpha (leading) member of her group of friends (known collectively as the "Pretty Committee"). This clique is at the head of the 'food chain' at their prestigious private school, Octavian County Day (OCD). Usually she is the most popular in her group. She is very spoiled and is usually very snobbish, but she has a vulnerable side that shows up when she is under pressure. Massie is known for her wardrobe (designer labels), her quick wit, and her desire to shine above everyone.
Alicia Rivera: Alicia Rivera is Massie's beta (second in command), but her personality doesn't quite shine like Massie's does. Alicia is also a bit kinder in nature than Massie, but tends to be a gossip. Alicia is also known for her wardrobe (heavily influenced by Ralph Lauren), and for her exotic beauty (her mother is an internationally-known Spanish model).
Dylan Marvil: Dylan Marvil is the Pretty Committee's source to the showbiz world, for her mother is famous talk show host for a television show called The Daily Grind. Dylan is bubbly and talkative. Her trademarks are her fiery red hair, her brightly colored style, and her obsession with her weight. (She has tried various fad diets, but does not stick to any of them for very long).
Kristen Gregory: Kristen Gregory is an all-star soccer player at school. However, she is by no means a tomboy. She is a fan of designer clothes, but she cannot afford them (her father, a former rich art dealer, lost his money prior to the series' inception). Kristen is highly intelligent (She is on a scholarship at OCD) and beautiful with her long blond hair. Her trademarks are playing word games, being athletic and avoiding being caught by her parents.
Claire Lyons: Claire Lyons moved from Orlando, Florida to Westchester, New York. Her dad was good friends with Massie's dad in college, so the Blocks allow them to move into the guesthouse. Claire's family is not rich and privileged like the other girls, so she has a hard time adjusting. She is known for her individualism, her non-designer style, and her Keds.

Microphone tattoo idea need suggestions on how to capture a perfect image of peace it brings and unity.?
Q. Well, I need some ideas for expression of the beautiful music of Hip hop not the ignorant rap murderers that contributed to the demolition of this art and poetry when done correctly. Never the less i want a microphone that shows I love it and truly a passion for my self to have as a state not for looks or to show off that's meaning less if it's no value if you get a tattoo that you regret. By the way it's going to be on my upper arm. I had ideas of a microphone with New York in it knowing it sprung during the 70's with B Boys and Girls, graffti, mcing, and djing. Excuse the grammar if it's not correct. The downfall to this is that I'm 15.. I know that could be severe consequences and all how I will regret but I do want this and know what I'm doing being mature enough to have something so brash and permanent. Ever since I was seven I was fascinated with the artistry of all music not just hip hop but rock and roll, jazz and so on. But where I grew up it was a escape for me to pick of the pen with a ( Reason ) not just the profit and fame it can bring that means nothing if no love revolves around it! I want to see peace but that's truly impossible look how we treat each other and I'm part of this generation it's sad we as the youth are to easily influenced. Not all are like this but a vast majority is stuck in a deep abyss because of the lack of pure role models saying killing, disrespect towards women, drugs, smoking weed and just having money is what life is about. Man fuck the industry I say that broadly with a firm aggressive tone! Ruined it with putrid schemes just for the market rap can be to the public with radio garbage we are fed daily but I refuse to hand over my attention to what "they" think we as a society want to hear. Truly I'm yearning to continue with overall knowledge not just music but the shit hole world we live in with lies and cheats and corrupted government of America. Cocky arrogant pricks, I'm part of the African American male population but am mixed with caucasian basically light skinned male. Haha I'm getting carried away with this looks like a huge rant. Back to the point I need to act on my rebel in my thoughts and do something to bring change! ANYONE I MC BY THE WAY YOU DON'T HAVE TO EVEN READ THIS IT'S OPTIONAL, BUT I GO BY EmC, which means "Eternally Making Craft" It's almost impossible to make it but I don't care I'm happy if I'm able to at least get those lyrics on the pad and improve every day with all motives and ways to enhance my self. Unique is what I'm trying to bring I have this style called reversable flow, inspired by those who made their own type of mcing, including Das EFX, Bone Thugs, Brotha Lynch Hung. No one is going to read this it's to long. IDEAS IDEAS to show microphone with depth on how it brings peace and my love for it. DONE

A. Whoa!!! Your question is so wordy that most people won't read it. I only read half, and skimmed the rest!
So, instead of all of these words, why don't you spend some time looking for an image, or images that have elements in them that are what you are thinking? Then a skilled and talented tattoo artist can transform this into a custom tattoo design for you, taking your anatomy in mind along with your references.
And you need to wait.
If you truly want a good tattoo to carry with you through your life, then you will act maturely and do what is best to get the best tattoo. You need to wait until your body has fully grown so that your tattoo does not distort. You need to wait until you are emotionally mature, so that you will know that this is something that you will want 10 - 30 - 50 yrs from now... not just NOW. You need to mentally finish growing also, because it is a proven fact that your brain is not mature, and your decision making skills are far from where they will be in a few years.
So if you really want the best tattoo showing all of your thoughts and feelings etc. then you will wait, and while waiting you will do your research, and find images and find the best tattoo artist, and you will save your money so that you can pay for the best and tip well. You will research the most current and correct ways of dealing with aftercare, and you will use a high SPF sunblock for the rest of your life.

In the mean time, you need to buy journals and pens and write down everything that you think. Maybe you will end up with a fine novel by the time you get your tattoo... really.
luck~
