glaze on my toes, honey on my nose

i'm trying out a new look for the first month of 2006 i like to call "polished but relaxed adult". this translates to the following:

1) shimmery pinkish painted toenails
2) a pair of made-in-brazil thong sandals na bakya in pinkish-lavender leather and swarovski crystals (i'm not kidding)
3) a pair of murano glass and pearl dangling earrings
4) super-sheer oil-free liquid foundation in a color they call 'honey'
5) white wedge-heel sandals that make me 4 inches taller
6) pink blazer with faint black pinstripes
7) a rope of lavender pearls (not quite real) knotted around my neck

i don't wear them all at the same time, of course.

which is just to say that i did some shopping recently and so i now have to subsist on oatmeal and tea for the rest of the month. no, not really. i have been known to inhale a salted egg, chopped tomatoes, daing na bangus and two huge mounds of garlic fried frice in 20 minutes or less. which i did last tuesday with my good friend coco at chocolate kiss. at some point we started daydreaming about egg yolks and mashed potatoes and foie gras. mmmmm...
