Bootylicious.
I've never been a big boot person but now all I want to wear are boots. If you have a J. Crew credit card, you are privy to sale information; unfortunately, I did not get these on sale:
Next on my list:
Apparently, I am all about Frye. I guess you can take a girl out of the midwest...

Sunday Nightcap.

Tomorrow's a holiday, right?
Espresso Martini
Two versions.
Version 1:
1 1/2 oz. Stoli or other vodka
1 1/2 oz. strong coffee, chilled
3/4 - 1 oz. Kahlua*
splash Simple Syrup
Shake with ice until chilled. Strain into glass. Add lemon peel (optional).
Version 2:
1 1/2 oz. Stoli Vanilla
1 1/2 oz. strong coffee, chilled
3/4 - 1 oz. Kahlua*
Shake with ice until chilled. Strain into glass. Add lemon peel (optional).
*The reason this is inexact is because I usually aim for 3/4 and get 1 oz.

Sunday Night Confession: Notorious.
Last night my husband and I were watching Notorious with Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman and during the scene where Cary and Ingrid are on the balcony in Rio de Janiero my husband says to me, "She reminds me of you."
"Who?" says I. "Ingrid Bergman??!!"
"Yes."
That's the best compliment I've ever received.

The King is Dead. Long Live the King.

If you know anything about me, you know I have an unnatural love for the KING. I'm not talking about Elvis on black velvet; I am talking about Elvis in black leather in the '68 Comeback Special (which you have to rent this weekend to understand my true love for him). In honor of his 75th birthday, here's a taste of E in all his sweaty, black leather-bound, magnificently sideburned glory:
In other E news, my neighbor at the beach was a dancing girl in Vegas in her late teens and she appeared with Elvis in the movie Viva Las Vegas. *squeal*
*Sigh* What a hunka hunka burnin' love.

The Mind Reels.

There is actually a bid on this lamp on eBay. There should be some sort of a department designed to put a stop to it.
