Party Like It's 1985!

It was a time when leg-warmers were high fashion, shoulder pads were a-shakin' and when Frankie told you to RELAX!

It was a blast when people started to come in their most baduy and most inventive outfits. From Hagibis, to Edward Scissorhands, to pop group groupies (that's my costume by the way!), to, get this, Marge Simpson! The FCB group are a dang fun group who partied like it's 1985!

So yeah, we've been warned about this super storm 20 hours before landfall. And I sit here typing away wondering what'll it be like. We survived storms before and I'm sure we can all get through this one -- roofs intact and trees unuprooted and all..Fingers crossed..

Here's my checklist for surviving the worst huddling in my foxhole:

a. Candles (lotsa them)
b. Fully charged MP3 player
c. Fully charged mobile
d. The Turn Of The Screw by Henry James (i don't know why a horror story would feel like the sanest thing to do at this time..)
e. Water, water and water

and..

f. Prayers (yeah, contrary to popular belief i really do talk to God, in this case, we'll need a barrage of it)

Why not birthday cupcakes instead of just a cake for a change?

Plenty to go around for everyone..

Yum...

This was Kat's by the way. La Cabrona mia had a birthday and doled out these wonderful creations like party favors. Tasted like childhood in carbs ;-)

Lovely

Songs to soothe a busted soul..

Lookit me puppy ;-)

ain't she a pretty dog?

A Revolution Against Heels

"You should wear heels more," a friend told me matter-of-factly. "It makes you look sexier."

I can't do heels 50% of the time, I say back. I looked at her pointy-toed, fashionably high stilletoes and thought, naah.. I'm doing fine with my comfy, yellow flats.

Why must we have to subject ourselves to pain to cheat looking fab?

I can be pretty with my soles closer to the earth, right?

Let's propose a revolution against heels.

Comfort over pain. No more pretense. No more calluses.

Beauty minus pain..
