Mary Van Notes

Dress: Phoebe Couture via Macy’s (I bought this when I went out to NYC in May 2008. The dress was originally around $400 or something ridick and I got it for $40. SCORE!)
Hair bow and Tights: Walgreen’s
Shoes: Kenzie via Bunny’s Shoes in Santa Cruz

This is by far one of my favorite dresses, and THE favorite dress of mine to perform in.   I don’t know why… maybe because it has pockets, or because it fits me perfect, but really, I just like the unique statement it makes.  It’s weird and cute, just like me!

Are y’all excited about Christmas?

Yup, I already decorated.

I want to send hand-written letters for Christmas.  Like this one from Elvis Presley:

If you want one, send me your address!  Send to mary (at) maryvannote (dot) com. 

Replies muchly appreciated.  I miss having pen pals.

I’ll leave you with Chris Garneau’s Christmas Song:

I was introduced to this song twice now, and I think me listening to it over and over again for about an hour deserves a FILF placement.

Miike Snow – Animal (awesome music video, btw)

And now the REMIX! (Mark Ronson Remix)

Ah man, my peoples, life is pretty shitty in Mary Van Notesville.  Got by without crying today by singing Fuck Shit Stack to myself.  Thank you, Reggie Watts:

The one happy thing I’m excited about is that I get to open for Reggie Watts and Jamie Kilstein at the Punch Line Comedy Club in San Francisco as part of SF Sketchfest.  I’ll be there Jan 14-16, click here for more info and tickets.

I’m just dealing with drama right now.   I’m looking forward to when I won’t have drama in my life, but until then, at least I have YouTube.

I love me some Tom Lehrer.

My friends are silly.

Gloves: surprisingly not vintage, and didn’t come with the dress. Found these in a store near Red Light and was amazed that the color matched perfect.
Shoes: Bunny’s Shoes, Santa Cruz
Stockings: new old-stock, ebay
Purse: my mom found it at an estate sale, or something like that.
