darlings...yesterday my VW beetle broke down on sunset blvd.  after rigging a can of hairspray and some chewing gum, i managed to coax it back to my office parking lot.  15 minutes later, i enjoyed a glamorous ride home by the AAA man.

luckily, i have a trusty pair of roller skates to get me to work in the morning.  and since it's friday, why not go in my most casual suit?

have a wonderful weekend, darlings!  knee pads optional.

xoxo,
tula
