The Fashion Show

Let me explain...
you know of course that for me it is all about getting that photo. And for this week in Tuscany, I really wanted to do some portraiture so that everyone would get a really fantastic photo of themselves. And so the fashion show idea came about because it incorporates all the elements... lights, camera, music, action.

So, there will be several categories. Individual and group shots. evening wear, Italian casual (bring your sunglasses), pink shirts for the guys. Barefoot if you'd like. Both runway and still shots. I was planning on Thursday nite for the big event.

I have made some thrift store and flea market purchases and picked up a variety of fashions for you to wear. So get your FAB on baby!

a little drama

Provided by that crazy sounding volcano in Iceland and British Airways and their scheduled strike in June! This caused a bit of miscommunication with Michael when I emailed him to just rebook to avoid going thru London which has closed everytime the volcano spews a bit of ash and he was thinkin I meant the strike.

Disaster averted and Michael rebooked and saved a bit of money too.

So everyone has their flights booked ($OUCH$)...
I am sure that we will make up for that when you get here! I need to start the second batch of lemoncello and make sure we have enough. Also bringing lots of Patron! And then of course, wine...

Getting excited yet? I hope everybody brings their dance shoes...
Love, Molly

Very Sweet!

Since Bonika and Emma and I are headed out there a few days early, I put together a care package for them to kick off what I'm now calling I-PALOOZA TwentyTen. I'll share with you a passage from the letter that I included in that package to them in an effort to get over-excited...

...Dinner is served. Wow, look at all the people at the [we're living like a] king size dinner table. Those tall burning candles light the multiple dishes of organic Italian foods and beverages, and if you look on everyone's face, they are smiling and having the time of their life, thinking how they can't believe how great this is. I've seen the future, and this is what it's like.

Once the sun is down and dinner is finished, new opportunities arise. Maybe a late night swim in the pool, maybe some Lemoncella to help digest our meals, maybe some light painting with the digital cam, maybe all of that and then some.

One of my dearest friends once said "it's a little sad when your day's productivity is measured not by how much you've accomplished, but how many magic markers you've stolen." Whether it be stealing magic markers, continuous laughing and story telling, making new memories and seeing new things, plates of food, or bottles of wine, our I-Palooza time will be well spent...
So...this trip is going to be great...we can't wait. Thanks for setting it up Molly!

Preparations begin...

I have recruited my friend extraordinaire Pam to assist in the preparations for our week in Tuscany. We spent the evening with lemons and everclear alcohol to mix a magical brew. I am sure we will repeat this excercise at least one more time to ensure we have mass quanitities of limncello on hand. You know, for medicinal purposes.
