As I sip my Gewutzetraminer white wine (crisp with a bit of a yellow apple something happening) I'm surrounded by a heap of magazines to read, a most of my Sunday Tribune and coupons to cut. What a busy freakin' weekend.
Friday I saw The Sex and The City Movie. Loved it! It was a delight. Ridiculous clothes, hilarious bits, heartwarming story and all that. Mostly it was wonderful to just see the girls together again. My favorite line was from the very end, and in efforts not to be a spoiling spoiler I can just tell you if you ask. I loved the complications - happy and sad - that the girls ran into. I also loved the purses, adventures and men. Perfect!
Saturday we braved both heat and wind to attend the Printer's Row Bookfair. It was way fun and prepped me for working next week at Little City's Annual Book Sale (come out - it's awesome!). I attended a very rowdy and fun bachelorette party Saturday night, which was wonderful (and of course gets me thinking about what the heck a modern gal is supposed to do when it comes to tradition, marriage and all that shit).
After a stormy afternoon, we scooted over to North Center's Ribfest. Delicious and raucous.
I ate half an awesome pulled turkey BBQ sandwich and I noticed a lot of over-tanned young women. Wake up! Tanning is bad for you. And tan lines are trashy. I wear my SPF 70 on cloudy days, so should you! Seriously, the beauty magazines say again and again that sunblock is the best anti-aging tool.
In good news, dresses are very, very in! Hooray for that classiness. Although I'm not certain an event like Ribfest calls for a white sundress and heels....
