Tonight we're gonna party like it's 2009.

A successful evening of partying starts with your pre-game strategy. For an occasion like tonight, one should start considering outfit options at least 3 days in advance. This important creative outlet says a lot about you and the kind of experience you're going to make happen. I considered and even mentally accessorized a flashy strapless cutie to wear, but instead felt this sexy lady shirt would be more appropriate.

6:43PM: I've brushed my teeth and washed, moisturized, plucked and powdered my face.
I know what you're thinking: it's January and 30 degrees outside with tons of snow on the ground. This girl must be crazy. I appreciate your concern, but the cold is no deterrent. Tights, socks, boots, bourbon and some secret layers will keep me warm to the core.

7:18PM: Look what I found! An early evening snack. This type of beverage paired with a killer soundtrack create your pre-game's ambience. I recommend something that makes you feel on top of the world. I just finished Queen's Greatest Hits and am now moving on to the Pixies. Lil Wayne is also a personal favorite. Notorious B.I.G., too.

8:27PM: Make-up is done. Hair's nearly there.

9:06PM: Done!


Fast forward to midnight...HAPPY NEW YEAR, YA'LL!!!

Babe Alert!

I haven't thought about Nico in a while. Something triggered my subconscious today and reminded me of her existence.

In some ways, she reminds me of Edie Sedgwick - only a THOUSAND times cooler. And I still cannot get over how a person can look so sad and stern and pretty all at the same time.
