Scenes From A Saturday Night Special

"Scenes." What a stretch. Was so caught up in the moment at V.O.D.'s 4th anniversary party (rock on, Jackie and Liz) that in lieu of snapping pics I in turn caught up with friendly faces, some I hadn't seen in ages. Clowning and camping it up on the showroom floor to a completely random mix from DJ and local promoter Blake Ward was at times irresistable—how could you deny Jackie, AVS, Matthew, Gretchen, Karen, Sara, Tammy, Jessica? Impossible. Hopefully the beautiful clothes weren't as drenched as we were. The hip hap was also a showcase for the debut 2012 Resort collection from Piamita designed by Karla Martinez (fashion and market accessories editor at W) and her good friend Cecilia de Sola. 

Here's two of my fave looks. Love the origamni cat detail in the blouse with soft tapered sleeves and buttons down the back on the left and the wide-leg pants in stretch double georgette on the right—reminiscent of 1970's palazzos. Seriously chic loungewear.

"Everything is moving towards cat videos, and the agencies that don't realize that will get left behind." I can haz LOLZ.

"We Did It!"

I hadn't square danced since I was a Girl Scout in elementary school. Loved it then. Love it now. And I love this video keepsake of an absolutley amazing Saturday night at the Trinity River Audubon Center—thanks Leila and Cynthia. The setting, the scene, and The Quebe Sisters was pure perfection. It left EVERYBODY wanting more. I also get a cowboy boot kick from seeing me twirl under the stars in a bright-yellow crinoline. More! More!

Apparently it's celestial Sunday. I wish this video danced on the inside of my eyelids when I closed them. Click the Vimeo link to see all the sources for this clip. Oustanding. Insanely lovely.

Surface To Air

Inspired by: Rewatching A Trip To The Moon and various astronomy clips, and dancing with friends under a full moon and sky blanketed with stars last night. If I ever got to swing from a star, I'd listen to this and whisper the lyrics in unison with Yoshimi.

One bulging rolling rack. One corner crammed with all kinds of shoes (I scored an awesome pair of vintage cowboy boots and a pal got a pair of Carolynes from Manolo Blahnik). A piano was covered in jewelry. A rolling cart housed a bunch of handbags, belts, and accessories. Every available table space throughout two rooms at Oil and Cotton were absolutely teaming with trousers, sweaters, t-shirts, jeans, blouses, jackets, cardigans, outerwear, and more more more. "The 3rd Ever Awesome Friends Clothing Swap!" was an awesome success—for the shoppers (looking to grab something free and new-to-them) and to the charity that gets all the leftovers. Thanks for organizing this, Ms. Jeggings.
