Sometimes I get fixated on a particular item and need to take immediate action . . . find, buy, wear!  Most recently, I’ve been wanting a good pin-up worthy pair of garters.  After some hem-haw over a pair I found on ebay, Moustache Man took the plunge and surprised me with this pair.  They’re a 4 strap per leg suspender and a bit intense, but I think they’ll do the trick.  I like the idea of secret sex appeal.  These allow me to feel sexy without anyone knowing and that’s the way I like it.

“Dance Door” by Robert Graham

While Moustache Man and I were scouting for photo ops, we came across the Dance Door.  I found the figures fascinating . . . there was just enough face and limb protrusion to carefully capture movements in time.  Some of their expressions also reminded me of Degas’  Little Dancer, which I’ve always loved.

Moustache Man and I were taking a stroll around the neighborhood when we came across a shop selling LD Tuttle samples.  Of course I had to do a little browsin’.  Imagine my delight when I found The Clear Pipe.  I was obsessed with the pipe heel a year back when MM showed me The Keeper, but it never made it to production so I couldn’t get my hands on it.  My heartbreak is all but forgotten.  I couldn’t be more pleased to stomp around, twirl and do a little dance in my iron heeled LD newbies.

I’m rounding up links . . . leave a little note if you’re feeling it.

I picked up my new The Helmet sandals last week, but alas couldn’t wear them because of the weather.  Rain, rain go away!  Since we had to shoot inside, Moustache Man and I decided to go get a prop perfect for the occasion at our local army surplus.  We grabbed some vegan breakfast afterwards, MM’s first experience with anything of the sort.  He was a good sport, and I liked it fine.  But who am I kidding . . . I need my bacon!
