Corks + Caftans

You can take the girl out of NY.

Rural VT wear! Black leather is good for the soul.

 

I was in a wine store up here recently and wearing this little python pouchy thing. “That necklace is…so totally insane,” the girl ringing me up said. “Well thanks,” I said, adding: “it will be perfect once I get a lock of Chris Robinson’s hair to put inside.” I waited for the laugh that never came.

“Hmm,” she said, fingering a dreadlock, “no, I’d get a lock of Trey Anastasio’s hair, for sure.”

I’m definitely in Vermont.

    Hmmmm, that reminds me of a line from the cult classic, Grease: “What did she give him? A lock of hair, from her chest!”

      Of course….!

      I always wanted to be Marty Maraschino, is that weird? She was such a delightful little tramp.

    How did I miss those?! And for the last part, all I could do was chuckle. 😉

    Man I want those leggings! I’d probably look like a hooker. Yup. Definately want them.
    You look beautiful!

    I love those boots. SO VERSATILE.

    On an unrelated note, I was bartending on Schenectady on Saturday for a Jill Hughes performance at the bar I work at. Amazing. Though I secretly wished all night you and the man would show up! Don’t feel bad, post-shift champagne makes everything better (Even if it was from a ginormous bottle… Our bar really likes to to buy in bulk I guess!)
