Mee-ow

I feel like it's been awhile since we had a chat on here, you guys!

What's been happening.....let's do a bulleted list! My fave

• My mama came to visit this weekend. She brought the dog, which was so special. Friday night I stayed in. We got dinner at Whole Foods and watched TV and I went to bed before 11pm. Saturday we went to Lenox. I got some silver ballet flats from GAP and Chanel nail polish (we'll do a "purchases" portion a little later.) We also ate lunch with my aunt & uncle. My mom and I always have a good time shopping together and this was no exception! Sunday we slept in, and went for a late brunch at Apres Diem, and we dines al fresco and brought the dog along with us. Great meal- I had brie and baguette and a goat cheese + herb omelette. Then we went to this FUNKYYY vintage store in the Highlands. This store had everything...furniture, books, jewelry, clothes, posters, kitsch, everything. We perused some 60s & 70s Playboys so we could see "what the fuss was all about." No fuss. Just real, natural breasts. Then grocery shopping, and reruns of Will & Grace and Rupaul's Drag Race. Such a great visit.
  
• Saturday night was lovely C's birthday!! I'm so glad I was able to make dinner at El Taco, then we went out in the Highlands. I had a blast. I wore a new dress, which always puts a little spring in my step. At the bar, FANS played at one point and C and I had a collective squeal moment.
• I never thought I'd see the day, but I got up early this morning to exercise, and....I don't hate it. I felt fine during the day, and it's so nice to come home from work and do whatever. I did adult shit like pay bills and now I have to time blog and cook dinner without feeling so frantic. I think I will continue.

"A male is assumed to always want to mate with a female, but a good male is more willing to pay the cost of a long courtship in order to claim the prize of mating. This leads to an outcome in which the female is not willing to mate immediately, but instead requires the male to wait for an indeterminate time before she agrees to mate with him. During this time, the male may give up on courting the female."

-an excerpt from a study by researchers at UCL (University College London), University of Warwick and LSE (London School of Economics and Political Science)

I just found it funny how much more eloquent (scientific?) "mate" sounds than "put out"


Carry On.

Tim Gunn Would Not Approve

Excuse me. Altuzarra? You created this....


for NYFW'10.

Kinds creepy, weird, a little fierce (love the boots, PS) but NO! We're in a fight, because it is not original. Why?

Because dear, sweet Chris March did the same goddamn thing for Project Runway Season 4.





did this:



How dare you rip off this dear, sweet, overweight man's creative vision!

You can't sit with me at lunch anymore, Altuzarra. You are dead to me. Like Sicilian dead to me.

Oh honey. She already knows.

Things That Make My World Go 'Round

I often use the phrase "_____ makes my world go 'round," which is E-speak for "I love this in a very unhealthy and obsessive way."

The following is a list of recent things/people/events that I have either commented aloud or in my own head that they "make my world go 'round" in no particular order:

1. Drag Queens
   
2. Floral Dresses. 2a. Dresses in general.
   
3. The gay black cashier at the CVS by my house. 3a. Gay Men in general
   
4. Granola beards
5. RuPaul
6. French children's songs (ex: Le Petit Escargot. Google it.)
7. tea from Teavana
8. my makeup
9. goat cheese
10. Fashion magazines + their online counterparts
    

And now you know.
