Universal Studios Hollywood

We were able to enjoy a fun afternoon at Universal Studios a few months back so I thought I would post up a few of the pics and thank the thoughtful man in my life who still finds the time to romance me so nauseatingly sweetly. It was my first time at Universal Studios and [...]

Road trip: Oregon Sand Dunes

Goodbye sunny California, Hello rainy season (is every season) Oregon. As we passed the Oregon border I felt a twinge of sadness at leaving behind all our special little spots we’d discovered over the past couple years: the hillside on which we were able to catch one of the most breathtaking sunsets I’d ever seen [...]

Oh Snaps! Masquerade

We take random photos all the time, some we post up, some we just stash away in our photo bucket. I was going thru them and found these. At the time Sue and I were deliriously happy (Shopaholics Anonymous would not be proud) at the find and thought it would make a fun prop for [...]

Photoshoot: Avenue of the Giants

If you ever decide to take a road trip from Southern California to Oregon here are a few words of advice. Get from Los Angeles to San Francisco as fast as you can, but keep your windows up and use recirculated A/C. The drive is brown and boring with a handful of stinkers dairy farms [...]

2010 Met Costume Institute Gala

The Costume Institute’s “American Women: Fashioning a National Identity” Gala took place a few weeks ago and I have been laboriously (there were so many, both on my list of love and hate) going over my picks for best and worst dressed. As far as best dressed goes, I could not take my eyes off [...]

Road trip: Napa Valley

Even though I’m not a big wine lover, I’ve always wanted to go to Napa Valley (yay, I can now scratch it off my bucket list) and of course it was as lovely as I’d imagined it to be…never-ending stretches of budding grapes and each winery more interesting than the next. While there we were [...]

Road trip: San Francisco

We’re on a road trip to the Pacific Northwest and hope to share it with all of you! Our first stop? Good old San Francisco. The city reminds me of Chicago… only with a gazillion more bridges and tolls. =p The weather tried its best to ruin our day, but luckily it cleared up just [...]
