Like candy.

I somehow got lost in the PBS Supremes special
yesterday and I ended up completely inspired by
the AMAZING fashions of the Supremes.
These hot orange pantsuits had me completely salivating,
although this picture does not do them justice.
In case you are a fan of pirated asian movies,
I do have a You Tube clip that some odd fellow
took while watching this very 1969 'Someday We'll be Together'
performance. A little on the budget side,
but so worth it to see these outfits and a fifteen
chandelier backdrop in person.

How incredible are these outfits? Multiplied times three
is way too much excitement for me to handle.
And, these ladies have a serious love of the color orange,
mirrors, chandeliers and anything else that looks
like it came from my sister's Barbie mansion.
1969 clearly rocked.

damn

Those yellow gloves again.
Yellow gloves are over the top and I like it.
Take these,weekend!
This time VIA rabbitsnyc.

yes yes and yes


We are saving the best for last here... and my most favorite of
all colors is blue, people.
Time to enlarge the browser window!
And, reminder to the wearer: dressing monochromatically
does include undergarments!

Blue beats to a different drum. Blue is daring, fashionable,
and completely quirky.
I am so excited to be wearing blue to the party!
Woo hoo for blue.
If you have any declarations of love for blue, you may leave them here.

Diary of a Party Planner, part 2

Some serious DYI happening here...
The name cards are looking at completion.
I opted to crop them and attach them to something
super secret and fantastic. Thanks to Meghan
for taking care of business while I cook
and calm myself down.

I'm sure the kids will be delighted when they see they are at the
'kitchen table'.. still A table, after all.

Here is one of the sassiest table numbers you have ever seen.
Pure rustic beauty, and a fantastic use for the leftover
invite cards. A little hand embroidery, a few loose machine
threads, a few pencil lines and we are looking sweet.
Tomorrow my task is beginning the vodka infusion project,
which will conclude with the creation of 2 amazing signature
party drinks. This will be exciting.

Never gets old


The timeless beauty of bras printed on tee shirts..
Say hello to another amazing Brooklyn discovery
from Sweetie.

Don't play hard to get.. we can see your bra!

Totally awesome fashions from seasickmama.

It is easy

to be green.
Let's continue
My Exploration of a rainbow of colors:
For the love all things
flamboyantly fabulous.

Captivating title, right?
Next up : the super hero of colors,
miss exotically organic?, green.

Green is very rare and expensive.. extremely classy.
Yet, she becomes completely accessible as she pairs with
yellow for the complete awesome package that is DISCO green.
For others, green is a sexy jewel tone.
But, for me, its green's tacky side, represented best by the serious
emerald color of the ever-so-classy creme de menthe liqueur,
that holds a little place in my heart.
I have spent long hours fashioning deserts in bright green color.
Green is fabulously festive. Nothing earthy about it.

fun friday


I was lucky enough to be on the receiving end of
this beautiful originally crafted watercolor last night
that was picked up by Sweetie over the weekend
in Brooklyn. I am a little jealous that Sweetie
was able to experience its creator, Billy Hahn,
first hand. Totally my cup of tea.
Billy Hahn, in all of his eclectic hotness, is fancy..
he has a website. We can all experience him.
Enjoy!

This is our new family pet : 5 eyed 3 eared lady pig cow.
Yes, that's her name. She is hot.

'Bird Slug'

'Unicorn Dino Turtle'


'Flying Narwhal Bunny Horse.'


I told you he was my cup of tea.
Happy Weekend!
