I Don’t Work Here.

After sitting on something during a recent visit to Disneyland (thankfully nothing too horrific, and I was in a repro skirt), I decided I should buy some more repro skirts, and felt that Pin-Up Girl Clothing‘s boutique in Burbank would offer the best solutions. Additionally Patrick decided it was finally time to splurge and buy some…

It’s spring, and Easter is right around the corner! And the season and the holiday gives the Disneyland Resort the perfect opportunity to bring out some long lost rabbit friends, including one of my favorites, Roger Rabbit! So earlier this week Patrick and I went to visit them! For the occasion, I pulled out a…

Will You Be My Valentine?

February 14, 2015, 11 Comments

In all honesty, I care little for Valentine’s Day. Patrick and I don’t even celebrate the holiday. But I find it a good excuse to wear as much pink and red clothing as I can and accessorize with my heart-shaped jewelry as much as possible throughout the month of February. Like Christmas, Patrick and I figured why not…

Christmas at Disneyland

As mentioned in my previous post, Patrick and I spent Christmas Eve with my sister, her husband and my grandmother and her boyfriend (oh my, that does sound scandalous, doesn’t it? But it’s true. Her last husband died when I was in grade school, and prior to that her first husband, my dad’s dad, passed…

Today Patrick and I went to Don the Beachcomber in Huntington Beach for the International Tiki Marketplace. While my interest in tiki is not as deep as some, my brother is really into tiki, and I felt it would be a great opportunity to find him a unique Christmas present. There were loads of swell…

“I Ain’t Nobody, Dork.”

Last night Patrick and I went to the 99W drive-in (yet again! Seriously, it’s the best part of having a car!) to see How to Train Your Dragon 2 and, the biggest reason, American Graffiti. I was super excited that we were first in line too, so we were for sure able to snag my…

Saturday Night at the Drive In

June 8, 2014, 5 Comments

Yesterday was a friend’s birthday, and we went to the drive-in to celebrate. One of the great things about celebrating the birthday at the 99W drive-in is that you can tell those working at the snack bar and before the movie they will announce everyone’s birthday and what ensues is an orchestra of “Birthday Beeps” –…

Last night Patrick and I got a pleasant mid-week treat, one of our favorite bands, The Phenomenauts, who I’ve blogged about before, rolled into town for an evening of space themed rockabilly. I never get tired of seeing these guys. They always put on a great show, complete with lasers, fire extinguishers and a toilet…

Frozen

Earlier in the week two friends mention they hadn’t seen Frozen yet, and we immediately set to remedy that. Because clearly I needed to see Frozen for a third time in cinemas. I won’t lie, I had a really hard time picking a coat that worked with this ensemble. Sometimes it really sucks when you…

Snow Cowgirl

Well, it’s officially a snowpocalypse here in Portland. While our eight inches of snow may be nothing to you people in the upper mid-west or east coast, our City of Roses basically shuts down, as we are not equipped to handle snow (our city doesn’t have many snow plows, and schools close when we have…
