not for all the tea in china

you know how to make old Rutha feel like a million bucks? Ask her to throw you a dinner party before you move to China for the year. Bon Voyage, Jonathan! May your students fill their cellies with your picture.

as for the post title, I have waited years to reference the Magnetic Fields.

Addie Strickland welcomes Olivia Simone to her 1st Birthday Party in Charlottesville this past weekend. How stinkin' cute is this?!

See Addie's personal blog for the whole low down on her party.

Here's a trinket That I Must Have or I'll Die.

If you follow a fashion blog it might as well be written by someone you'd follow off a cliff and into a shark's open mouth. And that's not a confusing metaphor for trends, ok?

So we went on this kick-ass yacht last weekend for Natalie's bachelorette party. And what was the most exciting party (you know, besides the Aldo's catered food, the full time staff, the boat's logo on the solo cups, docking up at Chick's in a floating apt building)... STAUVEY the PUG!

Here is KW posing with Stauvey's likeness stitched into a pillow. Stauvey wasn't available for pics.

why did I ever stop wearing purple eyeliner?

I went through this "stage" in 8ish/9th grade where I didn't know much about makeup but I just wanted my eyelids to be all glittery. I did a bunch of whack stuff, like putting glittery Bonne Belle lip gloss on my eyes in the ratty upstairs bathroom in NCH. Well, I'm pretty sure that bathroom has been bulldozed along with the rest of that wing of my adolescence, but I sure wish I had some purple eyeliner to wear to work tomorrow. Tell S. that shit is straight trendy.

Tbone and I saw Funny People tonight and Leslie Mann rocked some purple eyeliner. Not in this pic, but in the movie. Go see it, I mean, if you wanna laugh about boys having balls.

tough commute?
