I Got A Strike, But Cannot Prove It To You

What, you don’t wear shoes like these when you go bowling?

Yeah, neither do I. I may dress weird at times, but I am not crazy. It’s treacherous enough putting me in the same room as enormously heavy balls and black ice-slippery lanes.

Those black ice-slippery lanes, incidentally, are why I cannot prove to you that I am a genius at bowling.

Oh, I’m lying. I’m not a genius at bowling. I had a genius moment, though. We were shooting part of a JITH segment at Bowlmor on Wednesday, and for the last shot I figured hey, I should bowl! Whee!

But I haven’t bowled in forever, so obviously this dramatic first-shot-in-ages was going to be a gutterball. Right? Obviously. So our cameraman walked out into the lanes to get a good angle, and I was all prepared to do a post-gutterball sad face to camera…and then, just as I released a PERFECT, SENT FROM THE ANGELS SHOT…

our cameraman – and the camera – slipped and went crashing to the ground.

He was fine. The memory card in the camera, not so much. And so the fact that I GOT A STRIKE (did you hear me? I GOT A STRIKE) was lost forever to the winds.

It made me so sad I got blurry.

But I got over it.

This (what I wore for the non-bowling parts of the segment) is like Mary Tyler Moore (capris!) meets Jordan (plaid! leopard!).

I like it.

On me: Old Navy button-down, Paige Denim jeans, bracelets c/o Mellina & Co., Melanie Auld jade earrings (borrowed), vintage belt, Aldo Calcagni wedges.

P.S. As you can see, I’ve been having a little trouble getting great style shots on the fly. Blurry. Weird lighting. Etc. So we’re going to try a new tactic: taking the actual photos of the looks in my place before heading out for the day, so you can see all the details clearly, if you’re interested.
