Fashion Conscientous

Last night my friend Ellys and I went to a Fashion show cocktail party sponsored by Details Magazine and Macy's benefiting the Trevor Project. The event was held at local gay mega-plex The Abby. Gay bar. Fashion show. Booze. Boys. Good cause. Mid-week excitement. It's all about seizing on the opportunities that Los Angeles has to offer and finding something interesting to tell you on this blog. So really it was a win-win for me.

The producers of this show knew their audience and played to their strengths - in other words, send out models in swimsuits.

From left: Ben Sherman, Hugo Boss, Gant, Theory, Michael Kors.

My friend remarked how awful the middle look was. "Who would wear such short shorts? I would never, would you?" The funny part is I have been searching the globe for just these shorts. Well not THESE shorts but this look. I've been looking since last summer. I know my trends. As we were drinking while watching, I confessed all to his utter amazement. "You would really wear those!?" I have great legs, I explained, of course I would!

However I didn't check the program guide until I got home only to find out that these shorts by (the newly revamped) Gant retail for $175.00. Oh yes, I am looking for shorts like these, but more in the under $50.00 range. Definitely not THESE shorts exactly. So little fabric, so much money...

From left: Ted Baker, Dulce De Leche, Hugo Boss Boss, INC, Just Cavalli.

I like the INC jacket. It's a blue/black/grey plaid. But I fear it may be limited wear. However for $169.00 it's cheaper than that pair of shorts I was coveting...

We asked a random stranger to capture the magic of it all. Though we look a little "happy" its mostly because the man we asked to take the picture was hammered and couldn't seem to get us in the frame or even take the picture. This was our fourth try and the best of all the batman angled pics he took.
On the far left, Ben Sherman plaid shorts... plaid, plaid, plaid... is it a trend? Oh and you can't see the detail very much in this pic but the second pair of shorts from the left are by Hugo Boss and I've seen them in stores. I was all agog over them as they have this great belt detail. Then I realized they are pretty much just cargo shorts with a great belt detail. I can just go get a great belt and wear the shorts I already own.

Ellys steps up on the platform to get his best model look on.

These two did not need a platform they were auditioning for Tyra in the middle of the bar.

And of course our good friend Ryan Seacrest was there in all his glory.

Update:  So at the fashion event I received (well everybody did) a coupon for $50 off any purchase of $250 or more from the participating designers from the show.  You know I went in.  I tried on the Hugo Boss shorts with the great belt - shorts were too long and I didn't care for the "ripstop" cotton fabric they used.

I tried on the $175 shorts from Gant.  Lyle said I looked like the UPS man (the socks probably didn't help much). I told him I definitely had a package for him.  

I tried on the plaid sportcoat from INC.  They didn't have my size and now I have a mission for Monday as I will be going store to store looking for my size.  Yeah, they gave me print out of every store that had at least one but this is Macy's and they don't actually call around and find it for you.  As Michael would say, "Le sigh."

The Tigger Movie OST

So much for our first post. Hope you enjoyed the music. We'll be back for more updates sooner than you think, so keep watching us! xD

Birdie num num

I found some bird seed in an old costume bin. It was wrapped up in an old pair of pantyhose and into a fair sized ball. For the life of me, I can't remember what that would be for... But I knew I didn't want to keep it around to attract rodents. I took it outside and made an offering on the Buddah. Feed the birds, tuppence a boob.

In no time at all I had my first customer. Many, many customers all of them camera shy. But I liked the little twitter sounds they made all over the yard and I decided I wanted a bird feeder. Or as Lyle called it, "an old lady bird feeder."

So I took him to the store and let him pick out the least "old lady" styled bird feeder he could find. I didn't care what it looked like. But I did want to make sure it was for smaller birds as we have very large crows that eat Burger King garbage in our front yard. I didn't want to attract any of that to my back sanctuary.

We also got one that featured a slick roof that moves slightly to prevent any squirrels from climbing down the chain and feasting on the seeds.

I guess we need to hang it somewhere different.

Here's our orchid plants in full bloom in the back of the yard. They are stunning and the only secret I can tell you for growing them is to live in Southern California, place them in fairly shady location, water infrequently and completely forget about them. It's working for us.

An April Fool

Though it's not random photo Friday, I just got nothing to share. So here's a little kitty to amuse you.

Spring has taken over at our house and we have been shoving things in the ground. Lettuce, corn, beans, peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, spinach and anything else I get my hands on. SO over the next few months I will get all giddy that things I planted actually grow and then realize that now I have to make 6 spinach quiche to use up all I've got.

We've been car shopping. Want to get a different convertible. Mind fuzzy. Head full. Explosion imminent. The curse is we could get whatever we want. But I'd like to be slightly sensible while being a car owner AND be able to travel and say, buy groceries. It's all about choices.

When I say "we" it means that Lyle is doing all the research, all the math, talking to any and all sales people and I stand by the side with my hands in my pockets, whisper to Lyle that I hate the color, then sit my ass in the car and announce whether or not I "fit" in the car. You know I'm not that tall, only 6' even. But for some odd reason that means in many cars I get in, after lowering the seat as far back and down as it will go I still look directly at the sun visor. As little as I contribute, it still wears me out.

Tomorrow it should rain. Good for all my new plants. Bad for me. I guess I'll make some hearty soup, stay in and complain. I know "at least it's not snowing" but remember where I live. The reason I live here is so that I never have to experience anything less than a perfect day on a television set. Rain is not part of my equation.
