When: Saturday, Jan. 31st, 2009.

Femme What: Black velvet frock trimmed with embroidered ribbon, Free People. White tank by Mimi & Coco. Boots from Lamica, black ribbon headband from Target and skull-and-pearls necklace by Betsey Johnson.

Femme Scent: Vera Wang’s Princess, with notes as follows: Water Lily, Lady Apple, Mandarin Meringue, Golden Apricot Skin, Ripe Pink Guava, Tahitian Flower, Wild Tuberose, Dark Chocolate, Pink Frosting Accord, Precious Amber, Forbidden Woods, Royal Musk Captive, Chiffon Vanilla. I like this for a sweet and girly casual day scent that’s not too cloying or heavy. It’s nice and light, with enough going on to keep it from being boring and really good staying power.

Femme Confession: It appears, quite tragically, that I am not a fan of scotch. ‘Tis a pity! M brought a rather nice bottle home last night, along with heart-shaped chocolates from local chocolatiers Joseph Schmidt and wee tiles of solid milk and dark chocolate from Charles Chocolates! Perhaps it’s just the Islay variety – something in the peatiness, maybe – but not only did the taste not sit well with me, just the whiff off the cork made me feel boozy right away! Anyway, here’s an invitation to come visit us and help M drink this very lovely bottle of Lagavulin 16-Year Scotch:

Tomboy What: RVCA jeans, white guayabera bought in Old San Juan, PR. Mahogany Italian boots that are totally falling apart bought I have no idea where, vintage Yves Saint Laurent sangria tie with sea horsies bought at the bombass flea market.

Tomboy Confession: I woke up craving chilaquiles in green sauce even though I mostly only ever eat the kind in red sauce, so we went to Citron for brunch. They came with pulled pork and a very spicy salsa. I feel great about my breakfast, and am looking forward to the samosa parade later, and sliders tomorrow. The skinny one is not wearing underwear. There is scotch in the liquor cabinet. This sports weekend is going spectacularly!

    Hotness all around!

    Myself and The Otter will be at your doorstep shortly to help you finish that scotch. I’ll even help make chorizo sliders!

    Count me in for scotch! Maybe The Bachelor this Monday?! But only if everyone is wearing underwear.

    Every Superbowl weekend should look this good.

    Every tomboy should hold a gun, every day, all the time.

    Come on over! Jen, we’ll wear underwear. Our best, even. Just for you! The Bachelor on Monday would totally work. When is that bitch DeAnna coming back already?!

    (MBB, I’m posting some Puppybowl Practice pics next.)

    First row, middle pic is delicious. And if I wasn’t so tipsy from sipping my Manhattan on an empty stomach, I’d think of something witty to say. Speaking of spirits, I must say I will not be shedding any tears that you’re not a scotch fan. It’s all about the bourbon, darling. And good wine, of course.

    What do you think of this new cocktail?

    Intriguing or just too weird? I can’t make up my mind. Not that I have elderflower liqueur lying around the house…

    For those who don’t want to click on the link, here’s the recipe:

    The Murricane Adapted from the Anchor
    Published: January 30, 2009 New York Times, Shaken & Stirred

    2 ounces fresh watermelon

    4 or 5 basil leaves

    1 1/2 ounces bourbon

    3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice

    3/4 ounce St-Germain elderflower liqueur

    Freshly ground black pepper and watermelon wedge, for garnish (optional).

    Combine the watermelon and basil leaves in a mixing glass or shaker and muddle until the watermelon is crushed and juicy. Add the bourbon, lemon juice and St-Germain, along with ice, and shake vigorously. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish, if desired, with a sprinkling of black pepper and a wedge of watermelon.

    SBJ don’t forsake The Scotch! NO!!!! Single malts are so unique, try a high quality blended Scotch (JW Blue) before you write it off.

    I’m not a fan of real peaty scotches and islays. It’s like drinking a glass of bacon grease, on the rocks. I still remember a rather potent bottle of Laphroaig that was on our table on New Year’s Eve, 2004. I swore of scotch forever that night.

    Thankfully, I have learned the error of my ways. Might I suggest a nice bottle of Oban or Ragganmore, both of which are more floral than smoky.
