On another note, I saw two plays last night – both good and unique in their own ways. You can read my reviews on Mooney on Theatre. Two more to go tonight! I’m clearly loving this.
Dress – Ruche
On a strong and healthy woman – exercise and healthy eating habits – anything looks good. You can put a paper bag over some healthy figures and they make it look couture – and the opposite is true. I remember seeing pics of certain celebrities/models in high couture just before a major breakdown and they looked horrible. So my best fashion advice is this – eat well and get a move on, the rest is just details.
Quote of Today:
“Don’t put them away, we might need the Nazis.”
*this one needs context – said during a game set in the 40’s. But still, not a sentence you hear everyday*
This is the fashion blogger I sometimes fantasize I am.
But then, just like that blurred head in the foreground of the photo, reality infringes.
And this is the fashion blogger I really am.
I’m okay with that.
Sometimes it’s nice to talk to someone. Just talk with a girl friend you’ve known for years, who’s done stupid things with you in University, and smart things with you out of it. Our conversation made me realize how much harder everything gets, but at the same time how much better it would be if everyone had to grow up and stop acting like 19 year olds. What I mean by that, is just responsibility for yourself and your actions. We’re all imperfect, we all screw up, but you have to stand on your own two feet and accept that.
I know, easier said than done.
No, no smart ass remarks today for you…I’ll try to keep you entertained and captivated on twitter.
Or tomorrow, there’s always tomorrow.
I went for a walk with my friend Emily around the pond. Her and Baby girl had a great time. Mostly Emily had a great time giggling at all the things Baby girl does. What’s funny is that Emily took my outfit shots, and when I reviewed them that evening they were all out of focus. All except the ones you see here. Guess that’s why she’s a dancer and not a photographer. Oh Emily!
The full length body one had Baby Girl’s beautiful face in it, so I had to obscure that quite a bit. *if you’re a new reader you may not know that I don’t show her face on the blog. My personal choice regarding her privacy* But my favourite one of the day was the one of the three of them just walking along without a care in the world! It took a while for Baby Girl to warm up to Emily, but once Emily brought out the chocolate covered almonds the deal was done! Then they were best friends.
Walking along we stopped by a teen soccer game and a lady came over with her little dog. She started asking about Drake, and when she asked,”Who’s dog is it?” – meaning mine or Emily’s – I was tempted to say, “Ours” and hold up my wedding ring. I just like to challenge assumptions sometimes. I didn’t though, because I knew it was the smart ass in me that was tempted to do it. But I was tempted.
I mentioned sometime back that I think I should write all my blog posts with wine in hand, and so I’ve been sitting here with a glass of champagne *for no real reason other than someone bought it for us and I think it’s a shame for it to sit there unopened* writing this post. Oh, and in case you think I’m a lush, I’m just a real lightweight ’cause I’ve had literally 5 sips of it and it’s gone straight to my head. Watch out!
So on that note, I’m looking at these pictures and several things come to mind. First, I realize that now that it’s summer you guys get to see all my leg and arm bruises in their full glory. They’re a result of an interesting combination of intense exercise and pathological clumsiness. I must remember to Photoshop them out ’cause that ain’t cool. Second, I realize that I have rather the harsh expression in the last pic there. I assure you it’s not because of any mood, it’s simply because I’m ridiculously sensitive to the light and on a bright day I squint without my black, black sunnies. I swear, I’m a vampire….except for the drinking blood, being undead, violence, and random sex acts. Can you tell I’m in “True Blood” season?
