I wanted nothing more than to accessorize with an actual trumpet or something yesterday. I just felt this whole marching band nerd meets pin-up girl vibe and that I really needed an instrument, specifically a shiny one. Two exciting things happened yesterday (well, three):

1. I was rather spectacularly hungover and deliciously sleep-deprived.
2. I woke up to being on Autostraddle’s most esteemed list of queer blogs to read RIGHT NOW and FREAKED OUT:
   

   “So basically what you’ve got here is a gorgeous woman in adorable outfits, and it’s a blog called Fit for a Femme. More specifically, you’ve got a gorgeous femme, SBJ, showcasing these hot f*cking boots or this perfect dress. And just when you think it can’t get any cuter, BAM there’s a photoshoot like this one with M in which they’re at the beach and omg I think she stole M’s hat and would you look at that mothereffing wool coat?! Stop it both of you STOP BEING SO LOVELY.”

1. Who wouldn’t freak out?! It’s insanely sweet, and wonderful news! Plus, the other blogs are amazing – we’re in such fantastic company! As a result, M & I celebrated with lunch at Regalito, one of our favorite places ever, a bit of window shopping at Therapy and The Apartment, and a trip to Good Vibes, where we ended the 10-year ban and grabbed a handful of porn, landed ourselves on the waiting list for one of the new VixSkin numbers (I can’t remember which one, honestly, IT’S JUST SO HARD TO KEEP TRACK, GUYS) and snagged a bottle of Swiss Navy (NSFW) lube, which was recommended by the lovely Madison Young over at the Sugarbutch Chronicles (NSFW) last week. I loved the name and was prepared to buy some for that reason alone – C’mon, Swiss Navy? RADSAUCE – and it’s actually really fantastic. FFAF-endorsed, y’all. Getchusome.

All in all, a really spectacular Sunday and I just want to heartily welcome any newcomers and again express how completely thankful Fit For A Femme is for your support and love and page views.

Also? Just to be bossy, I’m going to insist that y’all head over to Facebook and LIKE us there, too. XO!

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:

PS. Little red flower clip from etsy.com!

Confession: Welcome to my Mother’s Day outfit. It was so gorgeous yesterday! The shoes and shorts came from the Rockridge Crossroads on a very rainy day, when my lust for sunshine and summer kicked in and gave me the vision for this little outfit. I have no terribly exciting news otherwise, so I’ll just share a nice springtime romance video with you, courtesy of youtube.com and the terribly hip Rojo and, of course, Camera Obscura! Enjoy!

PS. I spilled cava on these shoes! Oops! But aren’t they sweet?!
