Blue is the MAN!

I'm not referring to Joseph "Blue" Patowski from Old School. But I am referring to his namesake. My dog Blue. You're my boy, Blue!!

Blue turns 1.5 this December... what is that, about 10 or so in dog years? I got a new digital camera in Sept and have been using Blue as my subject to test different settings. Since over the 1.5 years I've taken many a picture of Blue, he has grown accustomed to being my model. He gets excited for it like he does any trick like roll over, shake, etc. He's very good at it too... you'll see from some of these pics.

Still Searching for My "Will"

For some reason, I have always wanted a male gay best friend. I'm not sure when this feeling began, but I've wanted one for as long as I can remember. I have 4 brothers and I have even, on occassion, hoped that one of them would turn out to be gay. What is my deal?

Then a little show called Will and Grace came on the air and I realized: damn it, I want a Will too! Tonight I picked up my dress from being altered by a little man named Alex. He gave me an etiquette lesson and explained that with a full length formal gown, a lady only walks forward, as to not trip on the back of her dress. If she needs to go in reverse, she must turn in a cicle, and then he acted it out as if he were wearing a ball gown himself. Then he gave me fashion tips and suggested a pin at a gathered place near the waist - and by the way you can get them for a steal at Steinmart. Then we discussed the reno wedding dress business and how lame it is b/c it caters only to the low end shopper.

Later on this evening I got my nails done (it is obvious that I'm going to a xmas party tomorrow night?). A guy gave me both a mani and a pedi. He inquired as to why I was so pale, and then proceeded to give me makeup tips to hide my peaked look. Red lipstick he said, it will disguise your otherwise purple and half-deadly lips.


I love it. I love it b/c I don't think women talk to eachother like that anymore... at least with strangers. If I really want a good opinion from now on, I will seek out these men that are so willing to give a real one - and 9 times out of 10, they know what they are talking about. Some day, I'll find my Will.
