Several of us were making fun of MySpace the other night, and how silly & phony everyone's pictures are. How they look oh so hip partying all night long. So after a very mellow BBQ at a friends house, we decided to take some "authentic" myspace pictures. Here is one. David hates it because he thinks it looks TOO real. And not at all the phony "We-are-soooo-crazy-we-like-to-party-and-then-brag-about-it-online" look we were trying to achieve.

CNN online reports today: California roasts in record-breaking heat

The highlights: "Records were set or tied Saturday at all five of the National Weather Service's recording locations in the Central Valley: 109 degrees in Sacramento, 111 in Redding, and 112 in Red Bluff, Stockton and Modesto."

"Emergency workers scrambled to help heat exposure victims in downtown Los Angeles, where 99-degree temperatures broke the 96-degree record set in 1960. Temperatures in the city's Woodland Hills section hit a record 119 degrees, topping the 116-degree high set in 1985. San Francisco's 87 degrees topped an 81-degree record set in 1917."

It goes on to say: "Max Grolwer lost his electricity after lightning hit a transformer near his home in Helendale, about 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles.

"I'm as mad as a hatter," Grolwer, 87, told the Victorville Daily Press. "I'm too weak now to even check on my lady neighbors"


Awwww!! His Lady Neighbors?!?! I love that guy :)

In other news, it was so hot this morning, I found a camel wandering around my back yard,
standing still just long enough to take this picture:

I'm thinking of spicing up some dresses with a vintage leather clutch. Sienna brown or reddish plum??
