Good evening to all. I’ve been a bit MIA due to time constraints, exhaustion and a jam-packed social calendar. Since I last posted, I’ve partied at Lush and a luxe lesbian party with dear friends, cried my face off at the Stars show, done quite a fair amount of shopping and fetched the dry cleaning, welcomed a Canadian tomboy to the San Francisco Bay Area, started a new job, celebrated Father’s Day with M and the family out of town, finished reading one book and started another.

Additionally, my new schedule is thoroughly kicking my ass, despite being tremendously worth it in absolutely every possible way. My nightly sleep has been reduced by at least one-fourth and no amount of caffeine seems to do the trick. (Plus, if anyone knows of a reputable threader in the Embarcadero or Financial districts of San Francisco, for the love of God share her with me. I scarcely have time to pick up my new order of contact lenses and new checks from the bank, let alone tend to my poor, poor eyebrows.)

Finally, M’s birthday is this Friday, so we’ve got some serious celebrating to do. Starting tomorrow night. Without our pants on, of course.

2010: NO PANTS!

Blouse: Calvin Klein
Slacks: Express Design Studio
Wingtip Pumps: Franco Sarto
Oversized Lace + Pearl Necklace: Spoiled! Boutique (Oakland)

This outfit is a stark departure from last Friday night’s black and tan (like the milkshake!) bandage dress by Bebe, but more on that later.

CONFESSION: In between all of the packing and the lease signing and the mostly distracted working and pre-Pride preparations, it’s my sweet, handsome loverbird’s birthday! She waited anxiously until midnight on Thursday to tear open her presents and began utilizing them immediately. This morning we slept in and I made chilaquiles con queso fresco for breakfast, and we just relaxed and drank cava cocktails garnished with fresh hibiscus blooms all day long. Earlier this evening, we headed downstairs to throw a tri-tip on the grill with some organic white corn and I made a batch of seasoned steak fries, but we detoured to our building’s lobby to kill some time because they were having a tenant appreciation wine and cheese reception! We grabbed some chardonnay and pretty nibbles and chatted and of course we lost track of time so the tri-tip burned. Hilarious. It was still delicious! Dessert? Sweet peach pie and black tie cupcakes. (Who says you have to choose teams, hm?)

Lucky for all y’all, M’s gift is one that can be shared! I got her the new Flip digital camcorder she’s been lusting after, and she made this little movie in practically no time at all:
