Pippi's Pre-Halloween Adventures


i decided to dress as one of my personal heroes, Pippi Longstocking, for my friend Jackie's pre-halloween costume party.
unfortunately, i was not catching on to the whole wire-in-the-braids thing.
i tried to use floral wire = droopy braid mess!

walked into the party, and immediately this lovely lady, Jessica, took me under her wing and said, hang on. you need a coat wire! (why didn't i think of this?!!)

voila...pippi success!
my braids defy gravity!

hehe, and so does emily's cushy bum, as kim kardashian....

we joined two mysterious ladies in the bathroom....

to play with the most adorable little girl kitten! i pretended she was my wily pet monkey.




then we joined mister jerry seinfeld.


and some enigmatic floral wallpaper
who kept sneaking up on unsuspecting party guests...


 a cloaked stranger...
some friendly bandits...
and our hostess, miss poison ivy herself,

and hit the dance floor!


one costume down, two to go!

You make an adorable Pippi! And whoever went as wallpaper... awesome idea! I know someone who went as a picnic once, with utensils and plates taped to his "tablecloth" haha...

You make a great Pippi. I adore the little kitten. I am really wanting to add a kitten to my home, my kitties are 9 and 7, so I think it is time. I thought the wallpaper costume was a great idea, except I don't know if I would like it pasted all over me like it was attempting to do. Thanks for sharing your great pictures. Love T

you are perfect as Pippi. funny, someone else told me they were going to go as Pippi and wanted to know if I had tights they could borrow. Nice to know Pippi is still a fashion icon. Happy Halloween, lady.

Tuesdays in my Town - Buck's Bar on the Cosumnes River

Image
Okay, not to turn this into "my favorite river spots" or anything...but it just hit 100 degrees here and i had the pleasure on saturday of going with some of my favorite people to one of our...yes indeed i can't resist.... favorite river spots .  since i talk about the river a lot, all summer long, i figured i'd go ahead and show you all this particular spot for this week's "Tuesdays in my Town." so, my town placerville (aka p-ville, peevs, and infamously "old hangtown") is actually located between two beautiful rivers coming out of the sierra nevada mountains: the american river to our north and the cosumnes river to our south. my friends and i have spots we prefer on both rivers, depending on the day, the kind of hike you want to do, and the month of the year. on saturday we drove out toward somerset down buck's bar road to the bridge and hiked out to the perfect june swimming hole in the cosumnes river, which, by the way, i r...

"I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin..."

I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belong to me as good belongs to you. I loafe and invite my soul, I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass. My tongue, every atom of my blood, form'd from this soil, this air, Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same, I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin, Hoping to cease not till death. It struck me, when I read Song of Myself several years ago, that thirty-seven years old , that magical Whitmanesque age, was still in the future for me. How exciting that felt! To know that this wonderful age that was such a pure and boisterous beginning for the bard, was something I could look forward to. To know that I could set forth on new adventures, and sing the praises of the earth, and be wild and merry and voluptuous and bold. Now and forever. and especially at 37. And so suddenly I am here! That lu...

handmade homes take to the open road

i want this to be us so bad...rollin away in a fairytale bus made of wood and wheels, porch and books. this is from another book in the series of rad 70s handmade house books that i've written about before and missa wrote about here  ( raddest houseboats ever, ever, ever ) this one is all about handmade hippie houses on the road. we have it at the bookery in the locked case; it's a collectible and thus way out of my price range. but i still get to look at its gloriousness. these photos of the pages look much better than mine, found in this wonderful little delight here , check these caravans out: standing in the mist with its little terra cotta pots and windowpanes, killing this fairytale heart a mine. i can picture joey and emily in this one, our neighbors. and this one can house addie and art, and we'll drive cross the prairies together. this covered-wagon one seems the most fun of all. roll back the canvas and sleep ...
