Hello Dolly!

On Monday night, Barnum and Baily's Circus came to New York.  My roommate and I had read in my handy dandy Frommer's NYC Free and Dirt Cheap guide that when this happens, the elephants actually parade down 7th Avenue!!! There's no way we were going to miss that.  So, we looked the times for this year, and at around 12:45 am (Yes, this is done in the middle of the night), the elephants made their appearance! 

You know what they say about New York.  It's a jungle.  Hardy har har har.

Also on Monday, I finished and turned in another garment, this time for Draping.  This is probably my favorite thing I've made for Draping so far.  I love raglan sleeves, I think they're really cute, and I may actually make this one in fabric when I have the time/money.

My best friend Marissa is coming to the city today!!!  We will be going to see Phantom of the Opera tonight.  And we are getting REEEEALLY dressed up because it is a Big Deal.  However, Marissa and I tend to be a bit on the...er... how to say it... extremely-loud-and-obnoxious side.  I don't think we've ever had to be in a formal situation before, and I am verrrrrrry curious to see how we do!  I'm sure there will be pictures of us looking lovely from the neck down and absolutely ridiculous from the neck up.  Be prepared.
