i feel like speed. i feel like liquid.

After hanging out with Maria, I went to Gene's Fine Foods in P-Town for more DRY Soda. I bought a pack of lemongrass-flavour and another pack of kumquat-flavour.

When I got home, I decided to finally make "the carbonated screwdriver of goodness".

My recipe:
3 oz of Simply orange juice
1.5 oz of Russian Standard vodka
5 oz of kumquat-flavour DRY soda
a handful of ice

Combine these ingredients in that order in a tall glass. ENJOY~!

When I finished half of it, I poured in the rest of the kumquat soda. Waste not, want not!

And oh, yeah, this is an outfit blog after all....

Q: What is wrong with this picture?

A: This is my left hand!

I plumb forgot to put on my wedding set! But yet I put rings on my right hand?? Because I'm just weird, I moved the rings to my left hand.

August 7, 2009 outfit - Now, my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch.

Choice tidbit about me:
My sister and I grew up watching classic movies on AMC and Disney Channel.

Another choice tidbit:
I grew up listening to the local oldies station, KOFY 1050 AM, because that was the only station my mom had her radio set to. And later on, we listened to KFRC. ...And oh boy, how thrilled was I to learn that there's now KFRC 1550 AM~!

In fact, I'm listening to KFRC online right now. Yeah!!

So let's have a toast!

Another Mad Men-inspired pose.

The skirt has pink pinstripes and a few mini-pleats.
It's not really a black skirt, since I'd say it's charcoal.
But I'm still putting this under the 'black skirt' label for the heck of it. ;)

Another grand cz and silver ring from HSN's Xavier collection.

BONUS RECIPE!

"Prop Martini"

The original idea for this pose was just to hold something that looked like a martini. This glass was going to be filled with only sweet and sour. But, as I set up the camera and tripod, I started to think that I had to stay true to my lush-self. So, right before setting up the self-timer, I decided that I needed to hold a vodka drink.

Because it was so tasty, I had two of these Prop Martinis.

• 1 oz. freezer-cold Belvedere 'Cytrus' vodka
• 1 oz. refrigerator-cold Dr. Swami & Bone Daddy's gourmet sweet and sour mix

Don't bother with a shaker or ice. Just pour the vodka in the glass first, follwed by the mix.

Enjoy!
