We Have Important Work to Do

This is turning out to be an uncharacteristically hectic week out of my generally pretty hum drum existence, which is not at all a bad thing, but still--I'm beat! Thank Jebus for Tim & Eric, I seriously just watched this video four times in a row and it's really helping me work my way back, albeit slowly, from the land of the living dead.

news from aweigh

Here I am, writing you from inside a tiny cabin, inside a big old forest, on a tiny island, in the cold cold sea. Not a lot of news to report from out here, except my parents have gotten a freezer so now we can ice cream whenever we want, which is some sort of crazy luxury out here let me tell you!

Anyways, please enjoy this picture of me feeling extremely skeptical about a huge leopard print hat, taken by Patrick on one of our antiquing trips in Anacortes the other day.



If a face could talk, this one would say "thanks but no thanks, chump." Now of course I kinda wish I had bought it.

Fake Christmas List, part I

This year, all I'm really asking for from my friends and family is a bit of money towards an end of school out-of-country experience, which would be a far greater gift than any of this silly stuff.

...But if I was making up a proper Christmas list, hoo boy, I definitely wouldn't have any trouble! And this is just part one...

a)


Stella McCartney Perfume, in the 1 oz. purse spray size, right. I LOVE tiny things, and conveniently, tiny versions of things are often cheaper than not-tiny-things. Also, the smaller things are, the more of them you can collect and cram onto every available surface. That's not crazy, that's just practical!


b)




The Biba Experience, so I can start plotting how to turn the interior of my next apartment into an exact replica of the Rainbow Room.


c)


I've crossed my fingers and toes fruitlessly for months now hoping this beautiful lace top by Hearts in My Eyes would go on sale over at Bona Drag. So impractical...and SO DAMN PRETTY.


d)


Nars Body Glow. Maybe I'm being suckered in by all those glossy collages in the Vogue Escapes section, but I just wanna slip this into a straw bag along with a We Are Handsome one piece and jet off to Ipanema. Also I'm a fool for NARS' packaging. Anyways, it's another one of those purchases I could never really justify.


e)


How is it possible that I still don't own an actual copy of this movie???? Enough said.

P.S. I'd love to know what's on your list, real or imaginary, this year!

I'm melting

Artistic representation of the only sensible way to deal with summer in New York City sans air conditioning:

Step 1) gather all your most attractive friends.
Step 2) gather and arrange all your most powerful fans.
Step 3) lie down on the floor and do not move.

Bags of various frozen vegetables recommended but not required, depending on your budget.
