the day i played girl...

Last Saturday, our friend, Stinch, had a fundraiser for the AVON's 3-day Breast Cancer Walk. Called the "Think Pink Fiesta", everything was decked out in pinkness. For me, i had gotten a dress, my eye brows waxed (and kept up!) and some cute, peep-toe brown shoes.
May 12th also happens to be the day i was adopted 20-something-years ago. Marian, being the wonderful roommate she is, treated me to a pedicure. Mind you, this is not something i do. Yes, i wash (ok, i actually scrub) the hippie dirt off my feet. And yes, i paint my toes every so often. Not all the time, but often enough that they look decent (at least in my opinion).
So, we started the morning off with going to the Square Nail Studio. It was a really nice place. They use copper pots for the tin where you soak your feet and lime oil for the massage. I have to say, i did enjoy myself.
We next had breakfast at Johnny D's. This place is one of my favorite breakfast places in the city. The Wentworth boy and i went a few weeks ago and he sang the praises of their omelets - which is what i had that morning. A lovely spinach and cheese omelet. And it was good. Marian had a waffle i believe with what i recall to be banana's and strawberries. It looked quite yummy.
Harvard Square was next on our list so that i could get a breast cancer ribbon pin and a gold nose ring. When ever you are looking for something, it seems to be the case that it is never around. Not one breast cancer pin in all of Harvard Square. I did have good luck with the nose ring - so that was good.
Home was last where Marian tried her hardest to get my hair to curl and stay curled. Sadly - it didn't.
Make up on, dress on, shoes on, hair done - and here is the end result. The first 2, i played with the background in photoshop, the last one i thought the ladies on their side of my looked amazing so i kept them in :) It's hard to be friends with such beautiful people.
