the ugly earring

yesterday, i learned a valuable lesson: every girl should own tulle.

highpoints:

• bestest cubie mate found a tulle blue dress and hot pink shoes to wear when her lover proposes.
• the sun gods like me this week because i scored these hot thangs.
• suddenly the songs of my youth (here and here) have become my new favorites on youtube.
• this of course makes me wish i could wear this when i am teaching bella to sing thumbelina. (from here)

• bella and i sat on a fountain, put our feet in the water and sang this. 
• a parrot whistled at us as we walked away.
• we read a little about anatole before dinner
