We went to Malibu Grand Prix to celebrate Laura’s birthday.  Afterward we went to Denny’s.  I ordered The Hooburitto by Hoobastank.  Yes, such a thing exists.   Just ask my friends who ate the Sumwich by Sum 41.

Mary Van DAAAMN!

I wasn’t sure about the dress when I first tried it on, but I think it’s a keeper.  I love sheer 1950s day dresses.  The sheerness gives it that flirty, sexy edge, and mixing up the color of slip I wear underneath can be fun.  All I need is a vintage satchel and a vintage mp3 player to match my vintage dress.

I wore this today as I walked over to Haight to post flyers for my upcoming shows at the Dark Room Theater.   I was good and only bought one thing.  A sweet pink vintage Gossard Artemis slip with a bullet bra silhouette.  Yum!

What I’m listening to: “Route to Palm” by White Williams on the album Smoke.

Mary Van DAAAMN: Wearing Sunday’s favorite on Sunday

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Today I walked around my neighborhood doing some errands.  Sunday commented on my blog saying I should wear this dress often and proud.  So I did.

I’m writing this post in the midst of rehearsing my solo performance piece for tomorrow night’s Monday Night Marsh at the Marsh Theater.  If you want to see me do a work-in-progress come on out.  Show starts at 7:30pm, $7.

I’m listening to Chris Garneau‘s “Dirty Night Clowns.”  Before his recorded track came out I was in love with this live video.  So now I’m getting into the studio track from the new record El Radio, which I still need to get my hands on.  I sure hope he comes to San Francisco soon.

I’m drinking $2.99 six pack of Trader Joe’s Simpler Times Lager.  Beeradvocate gives it a C+.  I give it an A++ for cheapness and quick satisfaction on a self-imposed lonely Sunday evening in front of the computer.
