Gabrielle was startled and said, “Oh, we just came to eat”. Can you believe it? In the glamorous setting of the renowned Soho House in downtown New York City, Gabrielle found herself at the center of attention for an entirely different reason. The security personnel had come all the way downtown, ready to retrieve those precious gems. She added, “you remember the original Dark Crystal, the Skeksis when they get stripped and end up just being these old…people…That’s what I felt like in the middle of Soho House‘.

As Gabrielle sat in the middle of the fancy Soho House, a man was assigned the task of delicately removing the jewels from her neck.

It was a moment that left her feeling  ‘old’ without the bling.
