First of all, let me show you a very happy face.

That is me on my way into hair and makeup on Saturday morning, after having enjoyed eleven (!) hours of hotel-room sleep.

Eleven!

I think I was in Seattle once. I was very, very young, and all I remember is that it was cold and there were lots of people on bicycles. That's basically it.

This time around, hopefully I'll have a slightly more memorable experience.

On Saturday, I'll be hosting a Macy's I.N.C. event at the Alderwood Mall, and I'd love to meet any Seattle-based RG readers - there's a fashion show that starts at 1, and directly afterwards Camila and I will be on hand to provide shopping tips. (More info here, and don't worry about the "sales have ended" thing; the event is open to the public.)

Alright, remember these shots of Rihanna out clubbing last summer?

Putting aside for a moment the fact that I could never, ever in my life pull off something like this (stomach and back-baring, brrr and I am An Old and nothankyou)...I love it. Love her hair, love her makeup, love the contrast between the top and the jeans, love that she felt that one technicolor sparkle piece wasn't enough for an outfit and thought it'd be a good idea to add on a hologram purse and shoes...love it all.

Ever since, I've been sort of keeping one eye out for a really great hologram piece to add to my fall wardrobe...and I have found it.
