hi kittens!

my hair rollers are spinning with olympic figure skater excitement. i am honored to report that WHORANGE has been nominated in round one of apartment therapy's 2014 Homies Awards! 

if you feel so compelled, please slip on your dancing shoes and vote for little ol' me by clicking here along with all of your other favorite blogs.

of course, i'm up against some of the most fabulous blogs in town (many of which are on my blogroll), but since i was nominated, i figured, why not give it a shot, right?

thank you, darlings! and if i make it into the top five, i promise to go for the gold, just like elizabeth taylor would do.

xoxo & xoxo,

tula

ps - and THANK YOU to the lovely charles for nominating me!

darlings, if you need a winter getaway, palm springs is the place to be.

it's winter warm, winter mellow, and a winter sunshine wonderland.

one or our favorite spots is the parker hotel. the jonathan adler designed destination is a welcoming stomping ground with its lush grounds, experimental croquet, suspended egg chairs, poolside lounging, and groovy details around every corner.

and, the bedside reading is judith krantz's scruples (just to set the mood). need i say more?

if it looks like we had the hotel to ourselves, we practically did. i'm telling you -- winter in palm springs is the best.

hugs to you on this day of lovin', friendship, and chocolate fountains!

keep your hair big and your heart bigger.

xoxo

i will battle you for it.

just remember, when you play the game of thrones, you win or die (but, here at WHORANGE, you die fabulously.)
