Secrets Under Party Dresses

Holiday In Tahiti Printed Dress By MM Couture  & Shoes - Ruche // Earrings - I forget 

Ready to go out for the evening, and have some fun, I donned this little dress, and got my bike ready.  See a pretty dress and fast and constant *think 40 minutes each way on average* cycling do go together when you hide those ever-so-practical bike shorts under the dress.  That's kind of what I love.  Many people are surprised as to how I bike around the city for months on end in flirty dresses without exposing myself.  My secret?  Short and tight bike shorts.  Guaranteed that even if I fall off my bike my knickers will be nice and covered.   Not only smart, but also hilarious when in answer to their question, I quickly lift my skirt, and for that tiny moment before they see the shorts, they don't know what to expect!

That's just how I roll....on my bike...yeah, I'm funny sometimes.  

This clearly not being one of them. 

Dress For Your Girl

Dress & Bag - H&M //Shoes - I forget  //  Rings - F21  //  Earrings - very old, don't remember where from

One of my girlfriends was having a birthday party at a fun bar.  There was going to be a great bunch of artists hanging out and having a wonderful night, and I didn't want to miss the chance to celebrate the birth of one awesome lady. 

I thought about how we dress up for for boyfriends and for husbands, but I don't think we dress up enough for our girlfriends.  They're the ladies who are with us through ups and downs, and through all those boyfriends *and sometimes husbands* I think they deserve our effort to look our very best for them on their nights.  

So I made sure I put in effort for my girl, Vee.  I even wore heels.  Now that's true friendship, am I right?

Relinquishing to the Sun and Wind

Some days are just this whirlwind that is life, and I relinquish myself to the air.  This day I spent time recording a self-tape audition for a tv series, biked in glorious heat across town while listening to a Star Trek audiobook, spun and reveled in outfit self-portraits while the folks over the security cameras probably laughed, fenced and fought for a few hours, and biked again while the city sighed under the cool evening.  

Days like this I try not to think and just enjoy the hedonistic pleasures of the physical exertions and the sun and wind on my skin.
