Sunday Style!

Pat and I attended Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend a couple of weeks ago, and I got enough style snaps at the car show for three posts. Lots of cool vintage everything going on!

I'm Back!

Hello readers, I'm back from my adventures in SoCal and I'm finally able to share a few of the things we saw and did in Vegas earlier in the month, including my birthday present to Pat: five laps around a racetrack in a Ferrari. There's a track just outside the city where you can drive any number of incredible supercars: Porsche, Maserati, Lamborghini, McLaren, Aston Martin, Lotus, Ferrari. My brother advised me that the 819 horsepower Ferrari 296 GTB was going to be the fastest on the straightaways, so that's what I chose. Pat had a blast! He talked about it for days afterward. Above you see a shot of some of the Ferraris on offer. Directly below is the 296 GTB (beautiful!), and the bottom shot is Pat in action behind the wheel. It looks a little blurry because my Leica couldn't track him -- he was going over 140 miles per hour!

Check Back with Me in a Few Days!

We spent most of last week at Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend, which is (you guessed it) in Las Vegas, Nevada. This was our third time attending and we had a blast! It's always fun and I hope we can do it again soon. I managed to blog every day while we were gone, but only because I set up and scheduled all the posts in advance. We got back home early Monday morning, just before sunrise, and ever since then I've been churning and burning in preparation for the fact that I'm about to jump on another plane tomorrow at 6:15 AM, this time to California. You may remember that we were in California just a few weeks ago, in February, to visit friends. This time I'm going solo to visit the same friends while Pat holds down the fort here at home.

As a sanity saving measure I've decided  to put the blog on the back burner for the rest of this week and probably until late next week, so here's a placeholder photo from Viva. Does this guy look familiar? That's because he's dressed like the classic Big Boy! Although apparently Big Boy restaurants are still around in some places, you may or may not remember this mid-century American cultural icon, so here's a little more info about him.

I'll have more VLV photos for you when I get back. See you next week!

Fave No Kings Messaging (Part 5)

My last few shots from the protest. I hope you enjoyed them! More importantly, I hope you're finding effective ways to make your voice heard, too!

My beautiful friends Julianna and Marian. They're sisters.

Sunday Style!

I had to pop into the bank recently, and the teller that helped me had fancy fingernails. I think it must have been a springtime or Easter theme. What a nice color scheme.

Fave No Kings Messaging (Part 4)

I admire the cleverness of creating signs or messages that allow you to keep your hands free, like the hoodie in the photo above (I need that!), or headwear, or sandwich boards. I think the next time I participate in a protest I'm going to try the sandwich board approach.

Fave No Kings Messaging (Part 3)

I hope you're enjoying all the protest signs. I took all of these with my cell phone, by the way. I hate to be encumbered by an actual camera during an event like this, but on the other hand I think my cell phone takes lousy pictures by comparison. Oh well! Which one of these signs do you like best? My favorite is definitely the one at the top of this post. That took some effort!
