Wish I was here

This is one of my favorite paintings. It's so relaxing and beachy. And hot and white and turquoise. Perfect colors. I was in the Florida Keys last June and it really feels like this. Makes me want to chill and listen to music with steel drums.

Granted! My wish is my command!

I love this so much.

Liking

It looks like there's no stopping this spring. Thank God. What's up, bike shorts?

Getaway, stayaway

I'm heading to LA tomorrow for a sexy weekend getaway. Just kidding, I'm going to the LA suburbs with Nia W. and baby Elsa to visit my Grandma L. Yesssssssss. I would still, however, like to jam this outfit with the fine gentlemen in West Hollywood.

Wait a sec, I just read it's 54 degrees and overcast in LA. Guess I'll just have to curl up in a Snuggy, like usual.

Golden Slam

I've been meaning to re-post this for a while. Two of the most stylish--and two of my favorite--gents showcased here.

Sassy tennis blogger, The Slice, points out how Nadal's purple and orange hearken to a more delicious time circa 1974.
One thing I like about Willy Wonka is: he's nuts and says crazy things with a totally straight face (my favorite way to hear crazy things.) One thing I like about Nadal is: he's respectful and polite to other tennis players. Also, the toweling. And both have style in effing aces!

Le Mondo

I know this is a little delayed, but: Noooo! No! NO! Mondo! Nooo! Mondo! Mondo! No. no. What an effing disaster! I cannot believe that Gretchen won Project Runway Season 8. I could just pinch her! Mondo is money; he's so weird, he's so showy, he's so histrionic. He's so haute couture, right? No one is going to wear it right off the runway, but that's the freaking point, Micheal K! (Love you, Michael K!) And Jessica Simpson; what the hell?

Anyway, Mondo. I'd actually wear more of his own outfits than the clothes he created. Shorts? Hi-tops? Suspenders? Neon? Tank tops? Vests? Little pot belly? Yes, yes, and yes. Let's take a stroll down memory lane:

Step off

P.S. 'Member when he drank from that juice box? Cutie!

Homo Homecoming

I went to a  homocoming dance over the weekend (even got a corsage!) and ended up wearing this:

But I really wish I had been able to wear this!

Only pretty tight, with a tiny bit high-water pants. I would really love an all-white suit that fit exactly how I wanted. But I think this is a dream that will never come true, considering my diminutive size.
