When the tomboy's away… | April 23, 2009 | Comments (8)

basic

Confession: OK, OK. I didn’t really smoke inside of the loft, settle down. That’s so against the law. The rules. You know. ALRIGHT, SO IT WAS ONE MEASLY DRAG, but it was totally by accident, I swear to God. I was channeling Monica Bellucci in Malena (or maybe Joan Holloway from Mad Men, does it really matter which?) and got a little carried away. The entire unsmoked cigarette is in the trash under my sink if you don’t believe me. Where was M? At her monthly poker game, winning us some monies, bless her heart (she always wins). If it’s of any consolation, I sat through 17 Again this afternoon at the movies (yes, with that Zac Efron douche), eating free popcorn and squeezing some joy from the sad 80s references spattered like roadkill throughout the movie. I also overcame great technological odds and mastered my newfangled new special DJ box thingee all by myself before lunchtime, so there!

PS. Yes, I know it’s very bad and naughty, but to be perfectly honest I can’t remember the last time I smoked a cigarette the whole way through, much less several in a day. It very seldomly happens anymore!

    Goodness, what a gorgeous outfit! I love that M was at poker night while you were dressing up and taking your surreptitious drag. Do you play poker, too? We have monthly femme poker nights out here in nyc — you should join in if you’re ever on the east coast!

    omg, did you quit smoking on purpose or did it happen by accident? that’s awesome, regardless!

    btw, you look dazzling! i am a fan of browns.

    I think you did Monica Belluci in Malena extremely well! The character of Joan from Mad Men is definitely one for the icon books.

    I’m going to try and stop by your dj stint tomorrow if possible! If I cannot convince my friend to go with, then next time for sure.

    Happy Friday, dahlink!

    Thanks, kittens!

    @highfemme: M is a big poker buff, but I always enjoy playing, too. Thank you for the lovely invite! I’ll definitely try and take you up on it one day – what an inspired idea, a femme poker night. I love it.

    @KA: I wouldn’t technically say that I’ve “quit,” but I imagine I’m only really smoking about half a pack per month or so, max., which is 90% social and whilst drinking, so…it hardly counts, as far as I’m concerned. Ha!

    @EM: Oh! Do try, it would be great to see you, and I know Janine is dropping by as well. Impromptu SF Jez-together!

    Fabulous. I love the belt buckle.

    And, as per your facebook order, my favorite Mad Men wardrobe is that of the wonderful and underrated Midge.

    Just how many fabulous pairs of heels do you have?! (Nevermind, I recall the closet post, and the answer is a lot).

    My (broken) ankle and I are very envious.

    ZOMG, I have those exact same shoes! I LOVE them. And now I feel especially fancy since something I actually own has been featured on FFAF!
