Being a grownup has a distressing lack of opportunities for glamour, I find. Thank goodness for fancy fundraisers now and then!

SB and I attended a formal fundraiser for the Zoo over the weekend. It’s a hoot! (Ha! I kill me!) The tickets are pricey, but it’s a good cause of course, and the food and drink and entertainment are pretty spectacular.

Something to take special note of, is the fact that I had an UP-DO. My hair has been too short for an up-do for 10+ years. (I hesitate to say that I’m growing it out, because that means I’m embarking on a 5-year process I’m unsure I have the patience for, but I HAVE been trying to obtain a little more length so as to have more options.) Anywho, my hair lady is an absolute wizard and I appreciate, how I can show up with a flower and be like, “I don’t know, make something pretty” whilst making vague swirling gestures about my head, and she’ll perform a miracle.


(Please forgive if you’ve seen these photos all over the facebooks and the twitters and whatnot. We don’t look this good very often.)
Hooray for getting dressed up for a good cause!
You look lovely.
Wow, you look lovely!
I am growing my hair too – I’ve had a short bob for a few years, at it’s shortest last year. Now it is shoulder length and it hasn’t been too much of a nuisance to grow out.

Wow! I LOVE that dress. You look fantastic!
Serious, serious glam. I’m dazzled.
sizz: Right? So fun.
Lucy: Thanks for the encouragement, Lucy! I’ve attempted grow out a couple of times since I cut off all my hair in ’99, but I’ve alwasy cracked. That’s why I don’t want to officially commit now!
