Want to see into my day-to-day? My crazy-ass hyper-power robot celephone records it fairly faithfully for me, and it’s high-time for a magic window party! Jewels from the shop. Sometimes I cannot resist the sparkle. Okay, I admit that I have a problem- my bijoux collection is getting a bit out of hand! Also from [...]
I really only have a teensy snoppet of time just now- but as it happens to be Thursday, (well it was when I started writing this, anyway!) I feel moved to thank my lucky stars for some bits of assorted amazingness I’ve been experiencing lately: ♡ It finally rained yesterday! We’ve been in a terrible [...]

Hello Mister Bobcat! I love your face. It looks a bit like my face when I’ve had my snoot to the grindstone for far too long, and am yearnin’ to don some tattered finery and tear it up. Oh, and didn’t I just? And how! This is how my face looks when I realize that [...]
I am very happy and a tad abashed to admit that my 30th birthday was such a momentous occasion that it has taken me nearly two weeks to recover from the festivities! Our abode may never recover, in fact- we may have decided to keep it as a half-gutted forest covered in glitter confetti and [...]

Last night we went to see the Golden Dragon Acrobats at the Paramount Theatre. Oh heavens, they were so incredible! I have rarely seen such feats of daring, grace and strength performed so playfully and (apparently) effortlessly. I want to be an acrobat when I grow up. (Nevermind that I don’t even know how to [...]

On our second day in the city by the sea, we unearthed a curious creature curled up in a tree-stump. Bright dark eyes and nose a-twitch, glossy curls and black-orchid scented.. Peekaboo. We were able to lure her out with promises of pastry and exotic confections from Crixa Cakes… It was a regular smorgasbord of [...]

Returning home as always is bittersweet, and voyages are rarely long enough. Oh we tried, valiantly, to cram as much into every day (and night) as we possibly could- but still, the list was far too long! It was a fantastic trip, perfect in nearly every way- and yet, when I saw our sleepy house, [...]
Texan summertime truly encourages innovation in the realms of refreshment and distraction- Anything to take your mind off your parched throat, and the rivulets of sweat dripping down every limb.. Thus, fancy sodas, frivolous frocks, and every night a cabaret, a soiree, a show! This Thursday (technically speaking, today) I will be joining the inimitable [...]
About a week ago, I set out on an adventure.. I intended it to be only a minor one- Black Sabbath Brunch at Dominique’s house and then a little junking at the Citywide Garage Sale.. I was a wee bit sleepy from all the ruckus down at the Victory Grill where Rebecca Havemeyer and Silky [...]

Roasting ducks and painted ladies. I had not visited San Francisco in twenty-one years. Not since I was seven and I went with my grandparents who lived in Los Angeles. I remember hills and pretty houses, yes. We went to my cousin Polly’s wedding and I was the flower-girl. I was running in the woods [...]
