Get Realism

We have been biting our nails to the quick waiting for The Magnetic Fields' new release, Realism.

In and Out.

We rather like eat-pray-fuck dot com.

The Consumption

It is again time for us to go see Luxury Items.

Before. and After.

I should've taken the after one a little earlier.

Light

This spidery chandelier looms over the Fairmont Hotel's Pavilion Room. Invisible from outside the room's glass doors, this fixture is a nice treat reserved for only those who enter.

A Sure Bette

After a two year run at Caesar's Palace, Bette's show closes this week. I could think of no better way to commemorate my trip to see the show than to buy this sparkly tee shirt. And the Cher Bette store had all of the Bette stuff marked down. It was a bittersweet sight.


So you can understand the detail on this baby.

Fashion.

A surprisingly brown dress.

Realness

The Eiffel Tower. No silly, not the real one. The Other One.


Lady Liberty's wicked southwest sister.

No amount of drinking could right these buildings.

Sidewalks in Las Vegas aren't on the side of the street. And frequently take one up, over, across, near to, or beside a destination without ever allowing a definitive arrival.

This can be nothing but a wooden penis.

The Shore

Who wouldn't wear this to the shore?

Mesa Grill

A margarita is the best lunch beverage for today.

A blue corn pancake with BBQ duck, green chile oil and microgreens. May I please live inside this pancake?

Craftsteak

A delicious ending to the best steak dinner of my life. The kale with bacon and white beans nearly made me cry! I thought my grandma had come back from the dead and heated up her old skillet!

SCOTUS: no cameras at prop 8 trial

The Supreme court rules 5-4 to block television broadcast of the Prop 8 trial. Read their opinion here. It is likely that their ruling on the appeal will not come before the prop 8 trial is over. So much for transparency. It is interesting that the defenders of the gay marriage ban have fought so hard to keep the case out of the public.
