this is mine.
michelle armas super painter painted this just for me.
i was going to wait until next week
when she delivers it to show it to you.
but i can't.
it's too awesome and it holds powers greater than my brain capacity for keeping secrets.
she asked me for inspiration and in short i said "lavender and yellow".
i got so much more than that.
she really is a genius at capturing YOU in her work.
i can't wait to hang it above my fireplace.
pictures of that next week.
but what about this:
i have no words for this.
let's try to decipher.
here are the facts:
blue dress ramona is pouring 'ramona wine' for green dress ramona.
there is a circular necklace around its necks.
both of them want to murder you.
blue ramona just straight up wants to throw a machete at your face.
green ramona wants to lick you first.
then beat you to death with your own leg.
wait...what just happened?
this wine is totally at kroger.
my ankles feel like what that guy's in misery felt like when kathy bates hobbled the fuck out of them.
(wall tassels are an interesting option)
all that tracy anderson bouncing is actually making my bones start to break.
oh..what's that you say?
your shoes suck?
yes. they do.
but the problem is i have no idea what kind of shoes to get.
many people say that zumba workout shoes are the way to go.
btw- if you don't know what zumba is (i didn't either)-
it is some kind of stupid dance workout that you need coordination to achieve, and rythm.
2 things i lack a tremendous amount of.
(mini purple lampshades)
plus it looks like you are auditioning for an MTV dance show circa 'the grind'.
in other words you look like an asshole.
also it is more about dance moves and less about jumping and impact.
tracy is all about the jumping and the impact.
hence broken ankles.
(and you also look like an asshole. a stupid, jumping asshole)
ok.
so shoes.
i confess to maybe working out for 2 days in crocs to see if they were more cushiony than my nikes.
they were.
but they offered no support so my ankles hate life right now.
so what shoes do i get?
ryka?
they are made for dance.
do i just get goop's shoes?
my fear is they are 300 dollars.
do i get some kind of hip hop dancey shoe with a padded high top ankle blanket?
do you give a fuck?
you have to give a fuck though.
bc my cardio will suffer which means that i cannot get super skinny and wine and reeses will win!
and you will have no superhero to look up to.
and then YOUR ass will get bigger!!
(lovely mix)
now get me some shoe facts!

it's almost like it never happened.
i worked my tail off for a client, hours on the computer, seeking out pretty things and cutting and slicing and layering..basic mood boarding.
then i was faced with client sticker shock.
estimates went over by a lot.
i am learning valuable lessons left and right.
i took a break from work to watch some real housewives of new york while i ate a fish taco.
appropriate.

the folks at traditional home magazine and lonny magazine birthed a shiny new online magazine and i enjoyed at least 97% of it.
beyond the 19 (!!!), mostly awesome, featured homes there were useful tips and interesting articles
and not too many of them for people like me who thinking reading is dumb.
but, alas there were some interiors that hate-fucked my eyes.
like...
this:
and this:
this:
and (murder) this:
but mostly there was this:
