When: Sunday, October 12th, 2008.

What: Gentle Fawn romper, pretty Peruvian scarf from a Bodega Bay skate shop (you just never know!), thrifted yellow sash tied into belt, Nocona cowboy boots. Embroidered, beaded clutch with purple leather trim by Dolce Vita.

Confession: I haven’t washed my hair since Friday morning. The TJ’s Mango shaving cream just might have beat out the TJ’s Tangerine Sugar Scrub. I really, truly am sick to death of this goddamn heat – you tell me – when is summer going to finally get it that it’s no longer wanted around here? Yesterday was so dry and so cold, like it is on Thanksgiving almost, with a swift, mean wind and today was just this sick, steady heat.

Thank heavens this is a four-day work week for me. The service was yesterday. I wore the same exact black dress I wore the last time Norton and I danced together. The tomboy has taken such good care of me, y’all. Last night she called our friend from Memphis for her fried chicken recipe, and she whipped it up from scratch with some homemade french fries, too. I needed comfort food real bad. Not long after eating I fell asleep on the couch and slept for 14 hours straight, though M moved me to the bed eventually. Tonight, for the first time since I’ve met her, she made me her ridiculously delicious chicken enchiladas. That’s right. In nearly four years, she hasn’t once made ‘em, but you bet they were worth waiting for.

Thanks for reading, kittens. I really do heart. ???

PS. So, Angel Island is on fire. Like, really on fire. All campers are evacuated, and no one lives there but state park rangers. It’s isolated, so it can’t spread anywhere where it’ll hurt anyone. All of that is good, though fire in general is bad, but goddamn it:

What: The Gentle Fawn romper, again! Vintage red woven belt. Linea Paolo red and black patent flats. Lots and lots and lots of silver chains from various and sundry thrift shops, boutiques and clutch straps. Guess watch. Red ribbon my Mother’s Day chocolate box!

Confession: I am allergic to cats. On my skin, I break out with red, angry, itchy eczema rashes. My eyes swell to the size of mangoes. I get upset and distracted. BUT ZOMG THESE BEBE PETITE KITTEHS. I could not resist. One of them is a trannyboi. They are both adorable, though the black one is more wily. I am so jealous of the lovely friend who gets to be their mama. I put the grey one’s head in my mouth. It found a basket to curl up in and we all cooed at this, delighted. The mama put it into a pink Converse sneaker, where it was rewarded with frosting from a fancy pink cupcake. As Jenna says, CUTE ATTACK. I was lucky not to have any adverse reactions afterward, probably because they are both so tiny.

I love my puppies, but kittens will always steal my heart. Just a little.

I also really enjoyed my hippie Blue Marble ice cream:

When: Wednesday, August 27th, 2008.

What: Gentle Fawn black cotton romper with thrifted pink corduroy bow belt and Bakers “Tetris” stilettos. Vintage silver and white beaded clutch. Silver and white earrings from Puerto Rican boutique.

Confession: It was superhot today, like superhot. I could not breathe when I stepped out for lunch today and we still have the AC blasting at the loft, so it was the perfect day to come home, rinse off in the shower (hence the messy ponytail) and step into the perfect summer romper, spruced up with mishmashed accessories.

PS. ZOMG, Tetris on Facebook, y’all. I challenge YOU!

PPS. Wowza, the annoying dyke on Shear Genius won! Maybe she’ll miraculously get less obnoxious with fame and fortune!
