Random, but Funny

If you have a dog, you will understand why this is so funny. FYI, this dog is eleven months old.

The dress, finally

I'm back, finally. 

The dog has made his triumphant return to my boyfriend's. He's feeling much better and is up and about now. He's lost a lot of weight and is still a little shaky on his legs, but he is ready to take on squirrels just as soon as we'll let him. Thanks to everyone who sent good wishes.

So now, about that dress:

I'm typically not a Roberto Cavalli fan. I'm not one of those people who can pull off the luxe hippie look, and I'm certainly not somebody who can wear clothes that just ooze sex from every seam, so usually his stuff is a little too much for me. However, he seems to have read my post about Chihuly-inspired dressing with this dress.

Same color scheme, same long brushstrokes, same nature-inspired theme (Chihuly's is based on reeds, Cavalli's is based on the interior of a flower)... I kind of love it, even though I don't want to. Here's another picture:

While I hate the cut of the top (there's no way that can be flattering on anyone), the bottom is just so damn great that I can't stop obsessing. Would it be blasphemy to cut up a designer dress and rework the top?

Roberto, you're welcome for the inspiration. If you'd like to refer to me as your muse in the press, that would be just fine by me as long as I get an in-house discount. That sounds like a fair exchange, right?

GOOD NEWS!

Thanks to everyone who sent good wishes to our dog. It seems to have helped! We are expecting to bring a much healthier (if not totally mended) puppy back to our house late this afternoon, and we could not be more excited. I even bought doggy ice cream! 

I should be back to our regularly scheduled blogging tomorrow with a report of a Chihuly-esque dress from a designer that usually makes me shudder.

Apologies and favors

Guys... I'm sorry I've been away so long and I promise to return to posting as soon as I can. The boyfriend's dog has been extremely sick and so we're going down a really difficult road right now.We're starting to see hopeful signs, but not quite the turnaround that we've been hoping for yet. 

I'm not one to ask for prayers, but I will ask that you will keep us in your thoughts over the next few days. This dog means a tremendous amount to my boyfriend, and I've become very strongly attached to him as well. Please send him good wishes and a full recovery.
