Wow, tonight was fun, but absolutely exhausting.  Literally feel like I just ran a marathon and I cannot believe that I am going to do it all over again tomorrow... YIKES.  That lady is insane!  To do two parties on two consecutive nights?  YESH!  At least the theme is the same.  Plus one of the girls I was working with tonight mentioned a Mad Men party on NYE and possibly calling me... Hmmm... More $$ for acting!

So, I was all ready to go (which apparently I didn't have to be) by 3:30 and stopped by Bartells in full Joan regalia (awesome looks, but not looks and no one ACTING ANY DIFFERENTLY).  Then we were at this gorgeous (but totally livable) Mercer Island home by 4 and talking through things and working stuff out until the guests started arriving at 6:30 and then we were ON until 10 or 10:30...  Like I said: marathon.  And I do it all again tomorrow...

Quintessentially Seattle

As my co-worker says today I look "totally Seattle, I work in an office and am cute" chic. I really heart today's outfit a lot and kinda feel a little 50's cum 80's in it (Grease-like, as it were)! Just kinda grabbed something that I thought would work for my hectic dayof work, mani/pedi, massage and then dinner with the mama & seestor (OK, well when I put it that way it really doesn't SEEM hectic, but trust me there will be a lot of running around...).

Last night's experiment of yoga and then running to a play worked out better than expected and I got there with plenty of time. And Yankee Tavern was definitely worth the (semi-)rush. The show was as conspiratorial as expected and just as mysterious, too. The cast was really great, all around, but Charles Legget as Ray, the conspiracy theorist constantly conspiritorializing (made THAT word up) to everyone around him, totally stole the show. Selfish, self-aggrandizing and totally caught up in the relatively insane world of his mind. It was a ridiculously strong performance.

There was this great moment early on where Ray is wandering around the tavern talking on his phone on-air on a radio talkshow and as he walks by the lone female character, Janet, he steals the newspaper from her and walks into the bathroom still arguing without even realizing she might have been using it. Talk about quickly establishing character. Toward the end of the show I got a little bit "Uh oh, please don't make this all sappy", but Dietz refrained and the end totally redeemed itself. Catch it's last weekend, if you can!

Today, I am wearing my bdg dark denim skinnies from UO, grey striped Bebe shirt and vintage Nine West grey heels with rabbit fur patch on the bow in front. I also grabbed my Express silver cuff and my grey Fossil boyfriend sweater (it's cold now, so...).

Seriously, LOVE these shoes. They're one of those things that I own and LOVE and never wear enough. They feel like they were made for my feet and they fit me perfectly. The heel is only about 2" too, so they are totally comfy and walkable (although I wore my flip-flops for the walk since I needed them for my pedi anyways...). I always put them on and think "why don't I wear these more often?". Seriously, comfy & cute & chic & vintage? They are rocking! LOVES!
