Fashion is meant to challenge you! It's supposed to be an artistic form of expression- it's just not all about everyone carrying the same labels, or dressing the same. True individuals know that design is a way to stand out from the crowd... and Andrej Pejic TRULY stands out. I think Andrej is gorgeous, and a true representation of where our world is headed.. I hope. Perhaps a world of tolerance? Where our children can believe in everyone as equals and beautiful and successful, not just rigid definitions of beauty, wealth, and politics?
My favorite quote from the interview with OUT magazine (click on the pic for full interview)
Pejic:
Define, refine, constrict, package, and sell... No thank you. I would
like to live in a world where your gender, nationality, sexual
orientation, and, above all, financial status didn't affect the
opportunities you are given in life, the way you're treated by others,
and your overall freedom. In a world like that, I wouldn't be given such
a complex definition.
Well, with all that's going on in the world about the economy, war, famine, etc, sometimes it's just nice to appreciate something beautiful. You can read the WSJ and The Guardian, but I know you're sneaking peeks at the Style section. Or, at least, I hope you are! What is life without creation??? I'm not trying to wax too philosophical, but I had a little flutter in my heart when I saw these gorgeous booties made exclusively for one of my favorite shops, The Webster, in South Beach. I used to shop them when they were in their temporary home on Collins, and now they've moved up the street, and taken over an entire building... and it was worth it, trust me! This is a DESTINATION shopping experience. Not for the faint of heart.
So.. here's what hopped in my email today, and I thought I'd share it with you. They are my absolute FAVORITE color. Kelly Green. Grass Green. Green Green.
Click on the pic to take you to the website. Enjoy the shopping!! (And get down to Miami Beach and check it out!)
I love a good mesh. I've been going through my jewelry with my mother, while she's here for a few weeks, and we've been playing and designing and have some great ideas for combining the vintage pieces I've held on to forever. I also found a vintage silver mesh necklace.. which, I always thought, is kind of like a mesh..bandana? The way it hangs is like a piece of fabric, because the mesh is woven so tightly. It's pretty awesome.
But let's talk gold.
When I was in Turkey, shopping at the gold stores (like, every day) I was in love with the variety of jewelry that I found. I mean, truly- no one does gold like the Turks. Trust me when I tell you those ladies have a lot of bling going on under all of those clothes!! I came home with some gorgeous gold.. and it was hard to stop! I couldn't help it! Well.. it's an investment, right? I would much rather wear a gorgeous bracelet than an LV logo bag. But hey, that's just me Everything was so pretty...and shiny... and, well, I AM a Libra, after all!
Can I give you a little preview of one of the shops we went to? They have gold, and they have gold mesh. It's perfect.
Yep. Pretty insane, right?
So I was perusing one of my fave sites, Vivre, and lo and behold- Citrine by the Stones has a gorgeous brass mesh necklace, as well. It's beautiful. And, well, a little more accessible. Unless you're going to Southern Turkey soon!
If you ever have a grey day and you need a little gorgeous to wake up.. check out this website and do a little window shopping. (click on the pic below to get there!) You won't be disappointed!
Okay so I can't help myself.
When you get married in Turkey, they pie the gold on you. And you can wear a CROWN if you want. Hellllo. Why did I get married on a ranch? I'm definitely having a do-over in Turkey. I love a great party, anyway!
So I was just perusing my latest Town & Country Magazine (which, incidentally, put a little hop in my step when it landed in my mailbox). I decided to subscribe because a) I want to minimize my computer time and b) there's just something so decadent about Town & Country! It's like our little American version of Tatler... which, incidentally, is another one of my guilty pleasures...
But I digress.
So I was just peeking around and saw an advertisement for a GORGEOUS room with an amazing vignette and a gorgeous sectional sofa. And then, I saw the name.
RESTORATION HARDWARE.
Really? Like, the one at the mall, you say? Yes, the very same.
I've always been a fan- it's a cute store, and they have nice furniture. But I think this advertisement really sets them apart from their usual design scheme. It's much more sophisticated and, dare I say a little bit of chic for the masses?
But now, what the hell? How are we going to have so many fun shows on HGTV when people can just go to the mall and find something so cute. I see makeover tv success waning.... NOT! 0
So WHAT are you talking about, Caroline?
Here's the image that I love. Can't you just imagine this in your NYC apt? Nice work, RH. (Oh, and excuse me, but the furniture for the other rooms is pretty damn fierce too)..
Yeah, yeah. I know. It's been a while!
Well, all I can say is... I've been traveling and haven't really been inspired- or had the time- to sit down and post. I'm sorry.
Oh, and I was in Turkey. Which was amazing. And we missed the earthquake, though that was far away from where we were staying...
I came upon this commercial for Dermablend with "Zombie Boy" Rick Genest. It's cool. I dig it. I wish he would smile a little more, but hey- he's a zombie, right! They don't smile much.
Enjoy this video as I ease back into my daily blogging....
I am so happy to read this article about Mr. Tom Dunn, one of my favorite people in the whole wide world!
He and Molly have been getting a lot of press about their new store, Overbey & Dunn... but this article is just about the man himself. And it's great! I think W managed to capture a little piece of our Tommy on the short article.
I mean, really... the photo of Tom in the tie dye with the hula hoop... it really says it all, doesn't it??
I'm so happy that Tom is in my life.. and now, lucky reader.. he can be a part of yours, as well!!!

Tom Dunn clearly bursts the stereotype of the all black-clad fashion
toiler, with his penchant for tie dying his own t-shirts and his
admission to loving Birkenstocks. Chalk it up to his Berkeley,
California upbringing, though years of working in PR and merchandising
haven’t quashed his colorful choices.
This past spring Dunn (above), who continues to work as a
fashion consultant, decided to lend his eclectic eye to his charming new
interior design boutique Overbey & Dunn on Christopher Street. The
store acts as a revolving vignette of meticulously curated furniture and
home accessories, centered around a chosen motif, with all items for
sale before the shop is changed up every eight weeks or so. Its newest
theme is “Gentleman/Boudoir” by Russell Piccione.
Here, Dunn professes his love of caftans, horseback-riding and his eight year-old goddaughter’s inimitable style.
Define your style in three words: Immediate, refined bohemian, sentimental.
Daily uniform: Slim pants with a t-shirt or button
down. From DIY tie-dye shirts (I tie dye vintage or used pieces and have
stacks of white clothes waiting to be done) with Simon Spurr trousers
to a linen madras button down with Gucci patterned pants.
Okay I usually LOVE the mountains. But it's freaking hot this weekend. We're actually thinking of hopping in the car and driving 12 hours to Lake Tahoe to hang with some of our friends from NY to get OUT of the heat and into some water!!!! WATER!!!!!!
Anyhow, this song is amazing. The video is amazing. Lykke Li is gorgeous and has a beautiful voice.
Okay, really. I am going to get an iPad. Or, maybe I"ll get an HP tablet since they've given up on trying to beat Apple and now they're only $99!
After my fiasco last week with the water on the laptop while I was on the plane home from a job, I really just want something easy that I can travel with, be entertained by, and slip in my purse without worrying.
But then I saw this. A reminder of times past.. when records were hot and my Mom would put on Sheena Easton's STRUT on those nights she felt like dancing! (okay, I'm not THAT old, I had a CD walkman!)
Hope this little item brings a smile to your face.. and you rushing to the store to pick up an LP!!

And you didn't think I would leave you without some tunes for today, did you?
I had to think of something that was upbeat today, something that would bring a smile to your face. So, in true Miami Style, I've turned to the Vespa. Scooters are such a perfect way to get around town, whether you live in a beach town like South Beach, or in a big city like Chicago. My brother is rocking an amazing old scooter from 1980 right now around the Windy City, and he's loving it!
Now, what about the sidecar? It looks amazing, it is truly aesthetic perfection when properly restored. BUT- can you zip around town like you can on a single vehicle? I don't think so. There's something a bit cumbersome about the sidecar, yet it's perfect for a longer distance trip?
Solution? Well, you have to have the sidecar for those fancy days and spur of the moment adventures. But for getting around town, throw your honey on the back!
Dursun and I just had this awesome vision of jumping on this scooter and heading to Vegas! Can't you imagine, just scooting through the desert, half helmets on, arriving in front of the Cosmopolitan or the Wynn, wearing something gorgeous.. and dropping this off with Valet on the way to your suite?
My friend Billy Teeples was an avid fisherman and loved Florida- and he loved to celebrate life! He was one of my first friends when I moved to Miami- we worked at the same restaurant- and he was a cool guy. Fun, funny, straight to the point. I had never met anyone from Alaska, and he was laid back and real, something rare in South Beach.
Billy died on last Thursday in a diving accident, three months after marrying the love of his life, Kelly.
I found this out on Facebook because I haven't talked to him for a few years- life just takes you in different directions.. but I remember when he met Kelly, and she is an awesome girl, and this just isn't fair. I don't have anything witty to say, nothing deep to confound you with.. just wanted to put this beautiful picture of Billy with his wife Kelly out in the universe... life is too short and truly unfair. The picture is from his obituary from the Sun Sentinel. This sucks.
Miami in the summertime can be a total bitch. I mean, seriously- it's hot, it's humid, it's raining and your electricity bill is going to be through the roof. Season is over, so I hope you saved enough during the busy times to get you through the slow times.. but you know what? I love it.
The water is warm, the dolphins and the manatees are out in the ocean, and most of the crazy turistas are gone. It's just you and the other locals, riding your bikes, meeting up at the beach.. maybe stumbling into Deuce Bar on a particularly rowdy night.
And, if you're lucky, you may find yourself at Jimbo's.
I don't remember the first time I ever went to Jimbo's, actually (no big surprise there.. ummm...) but I have always had a special place in my heart for that beautiful piece of land on Virginia Key, strewn with trailers and drunks and visitors and locals. It's amazing. After dealing with the drama of South Beach and the craziness of $38 cocktails that smoke when they arrive at your table, sometimes it's just awesome to plop down $3 for a beer ($2 + a tip for your "bartender," who pulls it out of the cooler!)..
I've taken boats there, I've driven there, I've even taken my bike there with la Hez a few times. However you arrive at Jimbo's, just be sure you have someone to get you home!
Here are a few pics from this amazing piece of Miami... from Google images.. sorry, but Jimbo's is a place to be shared, not hoarded.. so I won't keep it for myself and I chose a few key pics....
Oh, and there's a WEBSITE! Maybe I'll see you next year at his birthday party.. though I'm more likely to be there on a Wednesday, or a Saturday afternoon!!!
Click on Jimbo's head to take you to the website!
One of my favorite houses on Jimbo's land. I did a great shoot here with Kicka.
I literally cannot begin to explain how such a simple place can be so much fun.
And you ALWAYS make friends at Jimbo's!!!!!
Miami, I will always love you. You have my heart!!!
Well it's been an interesting week. I was flying back from work last Wednesday, happy that I was able to switch my flight to a non-stop that would get me home a little earlier.. well, to the airport, anyway. We were dog sitting so we had a full house up in Northern AZ- three dogs and two cats! Since one of the dogs is a 7 month old with a LOT of energy, it's been a handful. sooo.. work work work, don't get upgraded (bummer) but I get the exit row (awesome) and no one in the middle. Yay!
SO then, tick tock, I was just chilling, finished watching Blue Valentine on my computer (devastating, but two of my favorite actors) and I got up to go to the bathroom... when I returned, my seatmate was mopping off my computer. Yes, the unthinkable happened, he had spilled water on it!
So, the beginning of this post will be "ODE TO MY MACBOOK.. you have traveled the world with me, and now I must lay you down to rest.."
After several emails back and forth, which included me having to contact the person sitting next to me so he could verify the story, the SPILLER gave me a little money, obviously not enough to cover the cost of a new Mac, but hey- I'm lucky I got anything, right? So now, I'm just about to order a new laptop and have it shipped here pronto!
And now... I'm on a freaking desktop, for god's sake!! But I can still play online!!
So let's get back to business.... the business of being GORGEOUS.
Everyone knows that water makes me happy (except when it's spilled on my computer, of course...) so I was over the moon when I found this AMAZING vintage swimsuit on Etsy. Are you kidding me??!!! This is sooooo perfect for poolside cabana, rose drinking days... and, of course, it's in France.
Well, here I am, at home relaxing with my Tito's vodka martini, House Hunters International on the giant TV, thanking my lucky stars that I don't work in residential real estate anymore. YUCK! I know that most people think it's totally easy peasy to take on residential real estate, but trust me when I tell you it is a damn nightmare. Do you have any idea how picky people are? The time spent on dealing with people's whims? Watching someone actually make a decision on a $500,000 house based on an appliance that they love, or deciding against an apartment because they don't like the bathroom fixtures? It's really overwhelming how little people actually know about construction and the ease of customization (hello, a coat of paint goes far!). But, no matter what, I still love real estate. it's definitely one of my passions- I love cruising real estate websites, I always pick up the local real estate paper, and I've been to a few open houses and time share pitches... just because I'm nosy. Now, you don't have to be as crazy as I am- just watch this show- House Hunters is the perfect show for me- I can be a voyeur without all of the effort... but the international one is SO.much.MORE.Fun!!!!
(click below for HGTV's HOUSE HUNTERS INTERNATIONAL!!)
So it was about 10 million degrees today in Arizona. I only have today to run around and do errands, etc, since I'm off for a job tomorrow, and, thanks to the time difference and my stupid loyalty to United (well, it's not stupid, since I AM upgraded for my flight tomorrow!) I have to be off at 10AM so today was a bit hectic! But.. the jumper. So I put on one of my favorite go-to ensembles lately, a jumper. I have a variety of jumpers. Denim, linen, color block silk, leopard poly- when I find something I like, I stick with it! So today I was rocking the Gap denim jumper and it was awesome. comfy. Heat resistant. And, apparently, makes me very accessible, because everyone and their mother was talking to me today! I'm not saying that I'm not a friendly face, because I know I am, but I really, truly think it's because a jumper is a weird thing to see a grown woman wearing! It's like an adult in a child's outfit... but not creepy. Cute.
So I've been cruising around all day, smiling at everyone, enjoying the perks of wearing a toddler's outfit. Starbucks: "Oh, it's 2:15 and we can't give you a treat receipt after 2? That's okay! Here's your stamp!" Home Depot: "Hi! Hi! HI! What are you looking for? Can I get that for you?" Delivery man: Just did not get smile off his face! Delivered coin-op washing machine in a tie because his delivery team was busy. Then again, he could have just been Mormon... they're really nice. Police at our property filing a report that someone from the MaidPro's ex husband violated parole by appearing on our property "Oh, there's nothing to worry about! Is that a toilet snake in your hand? Here, let me help you unclog that toilet!"
okay I made the last one up. Well, they really WERE at the property, but I unclogged the toilet myself. REALLY!
So, after this crazy day of WORK and HEAT, I headed to my new favorite nail place for a much deserved mani-pedi. And they totally rocked it.
Until my nail guy (who had just totally given me the best foot rub in a public place EVER) was finishing my manicure.. and I'm feeling so happy that everyone has been living for me all day even though I"m clearly not a teenager and there is a distinct possibility that I should retire my jumpsuit (as IF!) and my nails are just about perfect.. when suddenly.. "Why you file your nails round?" "um.. how else should I file them?" "Square! Round is for old lady."
Well... maybe I'm an old lady. But somehow, I don't think that a square tip french manicure is EVER going to work with my ensembles. But it definitely gave me a giggle!
And, anyhow.. I can still rock a jumpsuit!
So today we'll look at beautiful photos of one-piece outfits. Groovy....
The perfect romper that you don't have to be 3 months old to wear, at Saks Fifth Avenue....
The jumpsuit that you want to wear out when you just want to be AMAZING..but be careful that you don't let the sleeves drag when you cram into the bar bathroom in this gorgeousness!
Blending
impressionism and expressionism, Stella McCartney uses silvery sequins
to give the illusion of paint splatters all over this daringly cut
jumpsuit. With a bold lip and slicked-back hair, you will be a work of
art even the old masters could admire.
Red Lace and Rhodesian Ridgebacks... two of my favorite things.
So I've picked up a new client this month and I can now say that this is a good week! At least I can work on my Premier Exec status with United- sooooo key if you have to fly once a week. Seriously, it's not a luxury, it is a NECESSITY.
This started out horribly- I'm trying to manage this beauty salon suite that exists in one of my father's buildings and it's pretty much a total fucking nightmare. Do you have any idea what it's like to have a 300 lb woman with a calf tattoo bigger than your head try to imitate you and make fun of you? Or have her 5 foot tall boss text message you repeatedly that you have "no idea what it means to know what a stylish salon" is? Yes, I am an equal opportunity person- big, tall, mean, stupid- please, go ahead and suck up some of my time. Because, like, I have no freaking idea what it means to be stylish, or to be in a hair salon. Oh, Tabatha, where ARE YOU? I need a salon takeover!
But hey- that's what makes the world go around, right? Pathetically enough, sometimes I want to SCREAM- do you have any idea the life I have lived???!!! Do you really think that your derogatory comments have merit???!!!!
Well, clearly they do, because here I am, writing about life in the trenches of REALITY. I've clearly spent way too much time with artists and musicians, surfers and stylists, friends and family.
I live a sheltered life. On purpose. I LIKE to spend my time with people that are on my same wavelength.. like... nice?
Anyhow, enough of that.
One of my first modeling jobs was for ASDA, a store in the UK. I remember, because one of my English friends thought it was hilarious that I was working for basically the Wal-Mart of the UK. I thought it was hilarious that I found a job that would pay me $2500 for the day. So everyone went home happy!
Here's a little fashion payback from ASDA- I've been hunting a lovely red lace dress for ages and can't believe I found it at ASDA, via the DM!!
All sorts of lovely lace dresses here....
Check it out. Oh, and hey, ASDA? I'll totally rock it out again for you if I get to wear this dress!
Wow. Really, people? I truly hope that you are not going about your daily life actually thinking that people look like they are portrayed in the magazines. This would be like always believing the news, or watching a reality tv show and actually thinking that it's real life. We need to stop believing what we are told, or shown on TV, or what is printed in a magazine!
Anyhow, I just love that the newest hottie in the Curvy Model industry is Marquita Pring- who also happens to be from Clinton, NY, the home of Hamilton College! I visited that town- and she is NOT kidding when she says it's preppy! It is beyond preppy- it's like the town from the flippin' Gilmore Girls! But I digress...
Here's a great little tidbit about girls padding for shoots. Yes, it's true! Just like they have to cut clothes for models to wear them when they're too small.. well, you wear padding to fit into a size 16 if you're a size 12. They want cheekbones!
There's just too much sadness going on in the world with people dying, war, an awful economy and more... let's just think pretty thoughts.
The whole discussion of what qualifies as plus-size is a nebulous one. How do you define it? I
hate the term. I don’t consider myself “plus-size.” I don’t consider
any of the girls on my board plus-size whether they’re smaller or bigger
than me. But it’s true that there’s really no true definition. The
second I say to someone, “I’m a plus-size model,” they just look at you
like, OK, if you’re plus-size then I must be oversize. So I would love
to just do away with the term and say “curvy” instead.
Is the model culture different for “curvier” models? Definitely.
Within our curvy universe, it’s a lot more close-knit and friendly.
There’s not nearly as much competition. I think with the skinnier girls,
there are so many more incredibly beautiful, stunning girls that have
very similar features and characteristics. Whereas the plus-size
industry is a lot smaller so I think we accept more than compete. We
know you don’t have to be catty to get ahead. It can be kind of
cutthroat in the skinnier model community.
There is sort of an ideal body type for the non-plus-size girls. Does the same go for your market? Every
client is different. You get a wide range. Some people like you much
smaller, size 10, size 8. Some people would prefer a 14 or 16. So for
me, I’m right in the middle at a sort of small 14, high 12. So I pad
sometimes since I’ve got clients who would prefer a solid 14 or 16.
You pad? What does that mean? Literally.
I don’t know if we should reveal this secret! They’re pieces of foam.
So I just lay them flat on each hip underneath [hosiery]. They’re like a
solid inch and a half thick.
Like football pads for your hips? Yeah,
to make you seem all around wider. I mean, from the side you look kind
of weird — and it feels weird. Like every now and then my arm gets
caught on it and I’m like, wait, this isn’t me. But it’s better for me
because I can still be healthy and work out and have the body I want.
It’s a little bit of model magic.
This isn't the best weekend in the world's history. What the hell is going on? A right-wing extremist killed over 80 Norwegian youths today in the name of Christianity. Death and destruction in the name of ideology.
Then Amy Winehouse.
Obviously, a troubled soul, with an amazing, breathtaking talent. But how do you harness creativity? Is it any wonder that so many talented musicians die in their late 20s? I think that it's hard enough to exist on a daily matter if you are mildly creative.. if you have artistic tendencies and beliefs that break the norm.
Now, imagine that 100 fold! Having words and music and melodies in your head at all times... and then you're famous, and everyone wants a piece of you. I can imagine that sometimes, you just want silence, and peace. Sadly enough, it's too easy to make your life stop.
So I hope we all appreciate our loved ones, and life, every day. Not just today. I'm sorry I never got to see Amy Winehouse perform live! Just as I never saw Johnny Cash.
But hey- maybe one day, I will.
Check out Amy Winehouse live... raw, beautiful talent.
Holy CRAP Terry Richardson actually rocked it out with this shoot!
I have to tell you that sometimes I find Terry Richardson's work too sensationalist for its shock value... but, that said, don't you always find his work.. interesting? Pushing the envelope? INNOVATIVE??
Check out his new shoot "TONS OF FUN" for Vice Magazine this month. It's amazing. I LOVE IT. And you know what's pathetic? The people who are saying that it's a bad portrayal of plus women, that it's racist, that it's not beautiful. I am so tired of the general public flippin' complaining all the time!
I've been a plus model for 10 years, I'm with Ford Models and other successful agencies and I work, and I've been working for the entirety of my career. So I speak from experience. And you know what? There's always a freaking critic out there. When people take to the comment pages, it's always "she's too thin, she's not plus, she's been photoshopped" blah BLAH BLAH! Well, as we all know- you can't keep everyone happy!
But let's look at these pics- the women look like they are feeling SEXY, and they are being shot by a world renowned photographer for an awesome magazine. Who are YOU- (Certain blogs and magazines that shall remain nameless)- to say that they don't look gorgeous? As someone who has lived through many a Memorial Day weekend in South Beach- trust me when I say these girls aren't leaving a lot to the imagination, but until you've seen a girl match her weave to her thong and heels walking down the middle of Washington Ave picking up boys- you haven't seen anything. It's a twist on the typical- embrace it! What some people see as skanky, others see as HOT!
Vice cast these girls from Full Figure Fashion Week- which is not an event where you're going to find many Ford or Wilhelmina girls- we are considered too small! You have to be a size 16 + to even walk on those runways, and most of the girls are represented by smaller agencies that specialize in ACTUAL plus girls.
Wake up, world- beauty comes in all sizes. And so does ART. Are we supposed to say, okay, you can use plus girls, but ONLY if you make them look conventionally beautiful? Oh, here's a unique idea- why don't we have them pose naked, or dress them in clothes form the 50's because, you know, that's when everyone looked like the chicks from mad men. YAWWWWWN.
Well I'll stop bitching and post my fave pics. And do yourself a favor and go buy VICE- if you haven't read it before, you are seriously missing out. And support these girls!
WOW- a lot going on this week! While I still have the mantra "lease, lease, lease" in my head from my father regarding our commercial real estate, I still manage to be me- or at least I'm trying. While I wouldn't change a thing and I am happy to be working with the family biz- it's important to stay challenged creatively, and artistically, here in the Wild West. Which is why I still have Miami.. and NYC... and Chicago... and LA!!! The wonders of the Internet.
Anyhow I'll be in Miami next month, and after a week, I'll be wishing that I was back in the land of mountains and hiking and less obvious psycho cases wandering the streets!
Dursun is back from Holland, and we have a new addition to our life!! I have wanted a Rhodesian Ridgeback since I saw the movie "A Far Off Place" with Reese Witherspoon in 1993. It features the Ridgeback and I fell in LOVE. It's a great movie, based on the books by Laurens Van der Post. Go and watch it, if only for the beautiful imagery of the Kalahari Desert!
Now that we have one in our life, I totally get why people are obsessed with them once they get one. hellllllo perfect dog! Though she did eat my awesome kindle case this morning
Here's a little pic of KIKI KOCA!! ( I really need to get the new iPhone, but this pic is so cute..)
She's the reason that we are SO happy..but I'm a little sad, too. BUT, this leads me to the BEST part of this post!
THE DOLLY PARTON TICKET GIVEAWAY!!
We were supposed to go see Dolly Parton this weekend!!! We had a totally romantic trip planned... stay in LA, go see awesome Dolly, a little shopping, fun food... but we don't want to leave our new addition!! She's just getting used to being part of the pack, and it just doesn't make sense to take off for a few days. Is this what it's like having kids?!! Well.. actually, I would just bring the kid TO Dolly.. unfortunately, can't do the same with a puppy. It's okay.. we have plenty of traveling ahead of us.
Sooo... I have TWO DOLLY PARTON TIX! If you're in LA and you want to go, well- send me an email (sundiva@gmail.com) and I'll send them to the first person who emails me!
EVERYONE SHOULD SEE DOLLY PARTON ONCE IN THEIR LIFE!! (Or, preferably, several times...!!)
My only request is that you take lots of pictures and sing along to all the songs.
Everything was so pretty...and shiny... and, well, I AM a Libra, after all!
