Fashion Friday

So, as you may or may not know, I have been ill.
It's stupid how long I've been sick.
It just keeps coming back...
like that a**hole ex-boyfriend
that just can't take a hint, constantly stopping by, calling
at all hours of the night, making you rethink your stance
on gun ownership...
This bug is
clinging desperately to my insides, fending off
the antibiotics, trying with great tenacity to regain it's
vice-like grip on my body.
Ok. So I'm being a bit dramatic.
It's only strep.
But it won't go away!
So since I'm stuck in bed (again!), hoping that this second round of
medicine does the trick and since I haven't been able to
take ANY project 365 pics, I thought I'd post
a new Fashion Friday.
It's been awhile, after all...and this is as close as
I can come, in my current condition,
to going on a shopping spree...
so with that I give you

Need a last minute outfit for New Year's?
Feel like channeling the spirit of Molly Ringwald channeling the spirit of Annie Potts in Pretty in Pink?
Might I suggest:

Dance This Mess Around

I have been busy busy busy...as you know, my cat has been ill (although he seems to be feeling quite a bit better, he still seems to be suffering from a severe bout of ennui...can cats have an existential crisis?). I've also been working on a few new pieces, finishing up a commission and dancing my ass off at the True Colors concert. How in the world could I pass up a night of Joan Jett, The B-52's and my childhood idol, Cindy Lauper (especially when the ticket was free...an early birthday present)?

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts kicked some serious ass (and oh-yes, she did indeed play "do you wanna touch me"...)...

I couldn't help but hippy-hippy-forward-hippy-hippy-hippy-hippy-hippy-shake to The B-52's which caused some serious flashbacks of high school...

And, much to my delight, Cindy Lauper, whose banter with the audience was hilarious and endearingly A.D.D., played my favorite "When You Were Mine" along with a lovely version of the perennial favorite "Time After Time."
Of course the past week was filled with its share of blech, blurgh, gack and arghs, but I'm keeping it on a positive note today.
