wednesdays are the new awesome. anneh has to watch top model for work, and to reward her i try and reenact at least one scene. tonight the model wannabes found themselves tackily parading around the favelas of rio dressed as mediocre carmen mirandas (for those of you who don't know favelas are like the slums, wikipedia calls them "shanty towns"). they had to look (fill in the blank here i forget, if you draw a blank just go for "fierce"), but model. you know "pet the cat, but model" or "be angry, but model" - but make sure you're modeling (the verb) and not just being a model (the noun), it's important.
what's also important is having the ability to balance fruit on your head. today i was able to do just that thanks to my wonderful art directors and handlers (aka scott and meg). they made sure my hair and makeup was just right, for modeling (the verb). and yes, this is all real fruit. and yes it is balanced, not propped. what can i say, i am just that fierce.
ps. fruit is from the earth, so this is a good earth day costume, right?
pps. anneh i want the butternut squash enchilada recipe. it was deliciouses.
ppps. we did a taste test, sorry humphry, bi-rite's salted caramel trumps your balsamic. don't worry i'll still love you.
