MY GLITTER-HEAVY HEAD

I don't think I've ever had so much glitter in my face before!
(We had dinner backstage in between our numbers and I think we ate more glitter than lasagne).

I love doing a full show make up (even though I sometimes slightly resemble a drag queen. Not that there's anything wrong with that, really). And then it's always really sad to wash it off afterwards.

SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT

Today was good.

The sun woke me up before my alarm clock did.

It was so warm could go out in my spring jacket, finally.

I met up with two good old friends and ran in to a third one I haven't seen in a while.

I'm working on a job that's going to turn out really good and I got myself a good burlesque gig for summer.

I also managed to get my company's tax declaration done and got it to the post office five minutes before closing. Good, since today was the last day to hand it in (I'm very good at last minute-things). It also made me wonder why some people want to become accountants? (No offense to all the accountants who happens to read this though.)

And I've been wearing a black and white polka dot scarf and my purple pumps. Polka dot scarves and purple shoes alone would make any day.

WEDNESDAY BLISS

What better way to arrive back south from the north and its snowy slopes than to arrive to a warm and sunny spring day? And even better; to find a small package from lovely Rascal Kosher waiting for me at home? With a lovely pink brooch of a small kissing couple and matching earrings in it, form her etsy shop! In fact, it was all so nice that I did not update any software or fill in my company's tax declaration like my schedule said. Instead I had a long lunch with K, enjoyed some carrot cake and ginger tea with Ina and spent the rest of the day looking at my favourite books.




One of my absolute prettiest books is Rob Ryan's This is For You. I think a lot of you know it already, but if you don't, go get it, or at least take a look at it it! Rob Ryan is an artist who cuts his work out of paper and they are amazing. (So amazing it almost gives me a headache, you know, thinking if I were to do that. But I try to forget about the making-of-state and just enjoy his results :)
