The Scene

What happens when you get high school girlfriends together for a boozefest thinly disguised as an outdoor movie?

Too.Much. Hilarious.Fun!









Ironic given the setting. For those of you not familiar with Cinespia screenings, they happen every summer at Hollywood Cemetery - one of the coolest and yes, creepiest spots in L.A.











Tonight it was particularly creepy because it provided a bird's eye view of the ominous smoke from the Station blaze.

But despite impending armageddon in the air, hundreds of Angelenos turned out to picnic and watch American Werewolf in London.










We had quite the spread ourselves.

Thanks in part to the MacGwyver-like picnic set that Mr. Diabolina's sister gave us last Christmas.








Our pot luck lunches in high school were never this fancy.

Another must have for cemetery screenings: lanterns.

Perfect for looking crypt keeper creepy on the way to the creepy portapotties.

And for lots of fooling around on the way back from the bathroom.

Rediscovering the timer on my camera kinda fooling.














This photo shoot made us giggle so hard we got shushed by some narc with garlic breath. F.



Who wants to watch the campy movie when you could be playing with your campy friends instead?

Forced to be quiet and still for two hours after serious drinking and eating could only result in one thing.

Falling asleep for the last half hour of the movie.













One of the most relaxing, fun nights of summer '09.














Nothing like old friends who bring out the young in you.

The Commentary

All summer I've been peeping hot young chicks doing the layered tank top look.























Love the sexy casual ease of the look.

Works on the beach or in the concrete jungle.

For day or night.

Particularly loving Gwen's take with flashes of neon




























So tonight I debuted the little pink number I bought for $3 in the fashion district a few weeks ago.




Added a girly bracelet to match.

Thought about wearing shorts since it was scorching all day but ultimately settled on jeans.

Just happened to choose the one pair that were not only the same brand but the same wash as Juana's. AND we both rolled them up tonight.





Love twinsie style.














Mr. D found lots of twinsies tonight too. Fellow white men rocking his statement accessory of all time.

I much prefer him sans hat, displaying his new puppy haircut. Delicious.

Almost as delicious as all the cheese and strawberries I gobbled up tonight. Must have accessory for me this fall: a muzzle.

The Scene

Tonight was my former employer's holiday party. Can't believe it's been 7 months since I left. Neither could Styleminded and Mr. Honorary Hot Chick. So they invited us to meet up for an afterparty. At Crown. Close to midnight. Oy vey.


To avoid the drunken disaster that happened the last time we attempted Crown late night with youngsters, Mr. Diabolina and I went to a movie (Doubt) and picked up some coffee first.

Fueled by Catholic angst and caffeine, we then met up with our PYTs.

While Styleminded and I gossiped about the party (not enough tables for dinner! an empty dancefloor!), Mr. D and Mr. HHC rekindled their bromance. These two seriously can't get enough of each other.

But tonight I didn't have to worry: Mr. HHC brought his own 6 foot tall stunner - his new gf, a Patron shot wielding temptress.

And per usual, Styleminded's posse of hotties was also in full effect. Ugh. Too much prettyall around me.


Fun fun night. Boy do I miss my work pals...

The Commentary
Felt a bit dowdy last night next to all the young vixens so amped up the volume tonight. Knew the girls would be wearing dresses but was feeling more casual.

Started with the sequin hoodie, then added the leggings and the loose top. Piled on the chain necklace and the feather headband. Ugh managed to work in every conceivable "hot" trend into one look. What a fashion victim!

The sole stroke of genius was digging out my miracle bra. Figured any outfit that featured this article of clothing would be a hit with Mr. D. Ugh. Boys are so simple.



Also a big sequin hit tonight was Stylista. Remember when Styleminded wore this dress? Ah to have a stylish bestie whose closet I could share. Alas, I couldn't jam one thigh into most of Jean Bean's outfits. Boo.

Sequins and leather boots were THE things tonight at Crown. Unfortunately, this girl was giving both a bad name.


Every time I looked she was doing another "look at me, look at me" move on the dancefloor. Ha!

Here are some better holiday "look at me" looks - adore!
