Quween on the Scene

Photos by DREW ALTIZER (in case you couldn't tell)
A couple of photos from the Madewell opening last week. Besides browsing the racks of $98 silk tank tops and downing glasses of cheap chardonnay, Angie and I stalked the event photographer and kept nonchalantly posing within her eyeshot. When she didn't oblige our camera whore tendencies, Angie took the bull by the horns and asked her to snap a photo. The result, obviously, is pure Art.
It was fun meeting some other SF bloggers and realizing I am far from alone in my penchant for print-mixing, location-scouting for outfit posts, and obsessive thrift store wanderings. Elizabeth from Mission: Closet and Jeane from Shop Sweet Things were so totally sweet that I hope I didn't make a bad impression on them with my ass sweat jokes. Swass.

Could NOT resist this skirt when I found it in a local vintage shop the other weekend. It's hard to tell but there are little ants hanging out with the mushrooms and they appear to be holding umbrellas...which doesn't make any sense. Who needs an umbrella when you have a mushroom for shelter?

Also, be sure to check out my guest post for Angie over at The Hotness Your Momma Warned You About. I made recommendations on how to spend her 30th birthday! Go check it out here.

Remember when I ran into Angie of The Hotness Your Momma Warned You About and proclaimed we would be great friends? That wasn't an idle threat. We finally got together today and made the sparks fly over Bloody Marys where we discussed, among other things: bocce ball, Pauly D, guys with tattoos, Lush hair products, the awesomeness of free food, and the difficulty of deciding what to wear in SF when the temperature breaks 70 degrees (we don't own any tank tops).

In case you don't believe that I actually made a friend, here are our Awkward Family Photos of the event. Look at us LAUGHING and being DELIGHTED by each others' company:







That, people, is genuine fondness you see. Genuine fondness and my prominent lady adam's apple. Note to self: do not throw head back when laughing. Yeeesh.

Tomorrow is forecast to be even warmer than today was, so I'm looking forward to barbecuing in our much neglected backyard and getting some sun on my Twilight skin.
