Statuesque

My massage last night really made me realize how much that accident messed with my body. Super-boo! She really worked on my uppershoulders and neck (to say that I'm sore today would be quite an understatement) and found places that were tight, probably from the accident, that even I didn't realize were a little off (my inside left shoulder where it meets my arm, I know, right?! RANDOM!)... Anyway, she says it's probably going to take way more than 2 massages to get rid of this gook--boo... I have another one next week to see how I am faring, hopefully I will be all healed?

This morning I was about 3/4 of the way ready to leave when I remembered we have prospective clients coming into the office, so I had to completely change what I was planning on wearing... And I love it! It is so much better than the outfit I almost wore! Sometimes desperation in fashion leads to the BEST combos.

I totally heart these elevensea high waisted, wide-leg black pants with buttons down the left side bought on sale at Anthropologie (and I don't wear them enough!) which I am wearing with my fuchsia BCBG maxazaria top and Linea Paolo grommeted flats from Nordys and my thrifted 3/4 length black cardigan. I am also wearing my Express silver cuff and giant black cocktail ring.

Tonight I get a little spa treat for myself (it is my week off, so I deserve it) and then head up to the hill for a little FFOK later on. Rock it! I am now a Princess of FFOK, so w00t!

Bicentennial

Well, this is my 200th(!) POST! WHAT?! Incredible! I kinda can't believe that this little experiment that I started back in April actually turned into something that I legitimately love and consistently post on (almost) everyday. It's always nice to find those little things...

Last night getting my haircut was the most glorious treat! Plus, like I knew she would be, Zoe was SO excited that she got to cut my hair as short as it should be. And it looks incredible. Too bad I couldn't have had the hair off the back of my neck during the heat of the summer... but I DID have to put it back in a (mini-)ponytail for the show... ah... what I deal with for my "art"--haha!

Tonight I get my first massage (of the two I was prescribed from the accident back in July) and I am so excited about it. Seriously, I am still a little stiff (which I realized when I went back to yoga) and just want to get this worked out.

Today I am wearing my new eight sixty black cropped trousers and black Sofft pumps with a tie front both from Nordys, grey Fossil ruffle tank and thrifted black 3/4 sleeve cardigan. I am also wearing my mirror earrings (you can see them again with my hair short!) and giant black cocktail ring.

You Kill Clothes, pt 2

These died on the walk from my apartment to Volunteer Park on Saturday for the final As You performance... A good two years... And now no more.

New: Hair

OMG! I love my hair girl--check it out! She was so excited when I told her she could cut it as short as she wanted. LOVE!

In Full Bloom

I get a haircut tonight! That is like the highlight of my life right now. Seriously. I have needed one for a WHILE now... and I made an appointment for my girl's first available time period this week. I'm gonna let her go as short as she wants (for once) as well. SO EXCITED!

I have now officially made plans for every single night this week which, I have to say, I am very excited about. Haircut tonight, tomorrow I get a massage, Thurs I am getting a little spa treat for myself followed by some FFOK and Fri Dani & I are grabbing drinks and then going to see Man of La Mancha at Taproot! Plus I might hit up Schmorg on Sat... Busy but awesome first week off!

Last night Matt, his bf and I all went to see Scott Pilgrim vs The World, grabbing drinks at Buckley's and running into Anne beforehand! It was so much fun! Great to catch-up with Matt & David, AMAZING to see Anne (who is busier than I am, swear to god) and the movie effing ROCKED! Seriously! I'd say by about 1/3 of the way into it, I was contemplating how much the end would have to suck for me NOT to buy it (it didn't--this movie will be on my shelf as soon as it's released). It is definitely a movie for our comic book, video game, slo-mo battle, Super Nintendo, confusing relationships, ambiguous sexuality generation too... Pretty sure that if you are over-40 this movie would be a lot less hilarious and a lot more confusing. Plus it really made me want every little thing I did right after the movie ended to be accompanied by awesome sound effects! GO SEE IT! Seriously! I might even wanna go again, so let me know!

Concentrating on the haircut at the end of the day! So much goodness in that! And because I always like hair accessories with my longer hair, I am wearing my white flower headband from Claire's(!), $6 H&M black skirt with my cream kimchi blue tunic from UO, black cap-sleeved cropped sweater from Macy's and Linea Paolo black grommeted flats from Nordys. I am also accessorizing with my silver & black beaded bracelets, giant black cocktail ring and long black beaded necklace.

Beaded Tears

Whew, well, since not much has happened since le last post, I will just say what I am wearing TODAY now that we are back on track. I am in my maroon matty m beaded tank from Nordys with my H&M grey work shorts, cropped black cap-sleeved sweater from Macys and gold Zara sandals.

Oh Mondays... Thank god I have to movie to look forward to...

Summer in the City

Summer has returned to Seattle with a vengeance! Today will be the third day in a row that it's in the 90's and I, for one, think it is glorious!

Yesterday I spent a few hours in air conditioning while I was ushering for and then watching The Belle of Amherst and, while I knew that it would be a one-woman show, I somehow didn't make the connection about how amazing it was to watch one person carry an entire 2-hour show onstage the whole time... basically by herself (she had a cellist onstage too, but he never spoke). And Maria Glanz--HOLY CRAP! I feel like I need to just inhale her talent. She seriously made that show, which really didn't have all that much plot, bounce along at a very loverly speed. I was very glad that I was able to catch its remounted production and feel like it is such a valuable tool for me as I attempt to write my own one-person cabaret... someday...

After the show we headed over to Ken's for the end of the season BBQ where we all ate and talked and drank and played croquet for four(-ish) loverly hours. It was such a great send-off on such a gorgeous summer day. Seeing everyone one last time all together was good closure, although I am sure that the post-partum isn't going to kick in until I realize that I have no shows this weekend. That and I better effing see my As Yous again... It they disappear from my life I will not a be a happy Gina... not at all...

Somehow (still not exactly sure how), a few of us ended up at Hula Hula post-BBQ for some karaoke. I thoroughly enjoyed singing 3 ballads (since none are allowed @ FFOK, I have to get my fill elsewheres) and seriously figured out that Jewel's Foolish Games is a HAWT song for me to sing. DAMN! That was a good one. I also rocked a little Eva Cassidy "Songbird" and Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" (do you realize how many times you say "I know" in that song? Yeah, I didn't either...) I made new friends and reconnected with old and gotta sing some karaoke. Besides the skany-ass bachelorette party and skeezy guy from Louisiana who sang ONLY country songs, it was good times...

Today I get to go see Scott Pilgrim after work, tomorrow I get a haircut, & Wed/Thurs I get a massage... ah... Good time off for sheezy!

Yesterday I work my teal kimchi blue ruffle front tank from UO and edme & esyllte from Anthropologie polka dotted and striped skirt with my white Seychelles sailor slingbacks from Nordys. I also grabbed my navy & white polka dotted parfait sweater also from Nordys in case it got cold. I only needed inside in the AC for the play...
