Fashion Friday: Cut!
I haven’t had my hair cut in more than a year. So gross! I haven’t had any time. Seriously. On the weekends, salons are completely booked or I’ve been out of town or otherwise pre-occupied, like taking my nephews to…

Group Photo Burning Man
I realized I never posted pictures of Burning Man this year. I’ll have to do that. But for now, here’s a particularly vibrant picture of the art department managers having a champagne toast at dusk.
