I braved the drizzle to nail this FFAF post today, you guys! Drizzle and a steep, steep grade, not to mention this lingering head cold. Cloud cover mutes the otherwise dreamy view of the bay in the background, but maybe you can make it out just a little bit. When I took out my gloves to put them on this afternoon, I noticed a faint emerald green print on the inside. Upon closer inspection, the left glove shows the no. 7, and Lionel Le Grand beneath it. Inside of the right, Made In France Expressly for I. Magnin & Co.! I don’t know how I missed that before. I found them at an old Lutheran thrift shop in the East Bay, of all places. Years ago.

Anyway, this magical, high-waisted, uber-tight, red hot miniskirt. Unfortunately, it’s all sold out at modcloth.com, but I love it. They had another of its kind – the Da Vinci skirt – in a pretty purple shade, but that’s all gone, too! Next time I wear it, I’ll try more color, but I couldn’t help but femme fatale it up a bit for the first go-r0und.

Confession: I am up to my eyeballs with work and other projects, but I wanted to post yet another breezy summer dress for y’all, and say how sorry I am that you’ve been putting up with cut-off images (and possibly text). I hope this new way is a little bit better. M & I are going to work on giving FFAF a much-needed makeover in the next week or so. I’m thinking Calvin Klein’s minimalist elegance, but we’ll see. It could end up the lovechild of a sequined vintage leotard + Roget Vivier shoes and we’ll all just have to love it like our own little precious bedazzled drag gaybie. Who can say!?

I am SUPER EXCITED for tonight’s ANTM finale, and am expecting my crew over at the loft at any moment. I bought an extra-special Tres Leches confection for the occasion and will reveal the glorious cake wreck here after we know who the winner is. It will be worth the wait, trust me. XOXO!
