These are authentic 1960s Prada t-strap heels that Kennedy found in a donation bin. They were 2...thats right TWO dollars. Merry Christmas to me :)
Due to the bitingly cold weather, we've started taking our pictures indoors so the store looks pretty different. I think it looks spiffy but I do miss the roof.
My favorite Xmas presents:
fendi shoes
aa skirt
tlc cd
disney world ash tray from the 70s
I saw avatar in 3D, my first 3D movie, with Holky, ate the best food ever, hung out with old high school friends, took 2 naps, talked about holistic medicine with my 82 yr old grandma, who looks 50, and did all of that other christmas stuff people do. It was a pretty good one.

new favorite skirt







Yay goodwill! I'm really into wearing miniskirts lately so I've been building up a collection. I actually need to try to be more inventive and not just wear minis, leggings and boots every day but whatever. I've been on the lookout for some high waisted, wide legged jeans and when I find them, I'll switch to wearing those every day instead.
These holidays are getting me down! I haven't done any shopping yet and I need to find a tree that grows money before I can start. I really want to get something good for my mom but she's so goddamn picky and I can't think of anything she would want that I could get on the cheap. Luckily, she'll love me no matter what. Maybe I'd be able to think more clearly if my apartment was heated right now. Its not like we're having a blizzard or anything...

Joni Mitchell love











So I'm a little obsessed with Joni Mitchell. This might have something to do with the fact that Ladies of the Canyon was basically the only CD I brought with me on a 2 week long vacation with my family which turned out to be 2 of the worst weeks of my life. I definitely have one of those "the music pulled me through" relationships with her. I don't really know how I feel about her later work though. It seems that people who have enormous mainstream success in music tend to have a difficult time maintaining their popularity or quality of music for more than 10 years (this obviously is not always the case but it is "the way" for the majority I think). I mean, by the late 70s, Joni Mitchell was already all "I hate being thought of as delicate a mountain princess...I want to be taken more seriously...I'm going to completely change my image...people aren't that into it but thats their fault, not mine...blah blah blah" There was just something so extraordinary about her early music that the later "redefine myself" jazz, rock and roll stuff didn't have. If it aint broke, don't fix it...you know?!
Here's on of my favorites:
