Um That Is An Alligator

Honey Island Swamp | New Orleans

We started our second day in New Orleans on a party bus - as all good days should obviously start - and drove out to Honey Island Swamp for a close encounter with some alligators. And when I say "close encounter," I mean hi that alligator is twelve inches away and slamming against our boat because he REALLY would like to eat that marshmallow and right now thanks. Fortunately, the alligators were way more interested in said marshmallows than in our fingers (which we were nevertheless warned to please keep inside the railings, as they apparently “look like hot dogs”).

Fingers behind the railings. Check.

When Kendrick and I first decided to drive across the country to get to our new home in California, we each made a wishlist of can't-miss places. First on his list was New Orleans, a city that each of us had only been to once before (and both only very briefly), and that we'd always talked about visiting together. So we sat down and mocked up our drive, calculating hours and miles and distances we'd need to travel to have everything make sense...and realized that we couldn't make New Orleans happen.

48 Hours In LA

Kendrick's Shirt | 7FAM Cutoffs | Drybar Blowout (woooo)

I'm in LA, woo! I'm off to a full day of shooting pickups for the show I've been working on (pickups are basically little inserts that you shoot after an episode is done to tie together the storyline, fill in any elements that were missed during the first go-round, etc), and I completely did not write a post for today because I expected yesterday to be not especially busy and then it was super busy and then I decided to hang out with my friends and do tarot readings instead of be responsible.

And now I have three minutes to do my makeup and put on clothing and get in an Uber, so oops. Come hang out with me on Instagram Stories or Snapchat; I'm all about the videos this trip.

The Season Of Lazy Is Upon Me

bohemian outfit for a renaissance faire with wings

Bag (similar) | Skirt | Blouse (similar)

The overt purpose of this photograph, taken at last weekend's Renaissance Faire, is to show you the wings that I am wearing. But before we get to that, I think that you should be aware that as relatively serene as I appear in this image, approximately five minutes after this was taken our daughter commenced what was literally - LITERALLY - the most epic meltdown she has ever had. And she is two years old, so we're talking about a serious achievement.

See, what happened was that we did nothing at all, and this made her so furious that she decided to do a sort of full-body whiplash-thing while cracking her skull against my eye socket and chin (over and over) while I tried desperately to calm her via the delivery of things with sugar in them and an uncomfortably loud public rendition of Part Of Your World, and while passers-by looked on in what was unquestionably horror mixed with intense judgment of our parenting skills.
