Mondo Weekend Edition: The Boob Purse, A Cat and a Tat

The last few days have been jam-packed. First of all, it was Friday, so I had to haul out some casual clothes:

Nice and simple; my Casual Friday uniform of long-sleeved tee with a funky tee (sparkles!) and some sort of denim (my awesome swapped skirt from Caro, last seen here). I wore my comfy sandals too - gotta have comfy sandals! I last wore the tee here, and the sandals here.

The purse is a new-to-me item - it was $7.00 in a thrift store. I snatched it up when I checked the inner tag and saw it was leather! The lining is also beautiful. I checked online and saw that Hype purses are in the $100-200 range, so score! I'm so not a purse person - I've never heard of the brand, but it looked like quality, and I needed a summery-coloured purse.

However, see how I'm cupping the purse in the above picture? It totally looks like a pair of saggy boobs! One of my girlfriends said it also looked a bit like E.T. Ha!

Long-sleeved tee (Plum), sparkly tee (Lisa International), skirt (Bebe Sport, swap from Caro), belt (Brave Belts), sandals (Indigo by Clarke's).

For the last couple of weeks, we've been corresponding with a local animal rescue organization to adopt a kitten. We had to fill out a huge application, be visited an approved as adoptees, but then on Friday after work, we went to see a little boy kitten who was up for adoption.

Can I resist a kitten?

Um, no. This is Vizzini. Vizzini, meet the blogosphere.

His name is from "The Princess Bride", one of the favourite movies of L and I. Here's a picture of (from the top) Fezzig, Inigo Montoya and Vizzini. Inigo Montoya is of course whom Inigo is named after. Vizzini is a vocal and adventurous sort (both the character and the cat). I hope this kitty has a resistance to iocane powder, though, heh heh.

He was very excited to explore our house, including climbing inside a wine rack as Inigo looked on dubiously.

He attacked Inigo's tail:

I'd forgotten how tiny kittens are!

He quickly became exhausted from his adventuring and crashed on my robe, where Inigo got a good sniff of him:

After an evening of socializing Vizzini with Inigo, I got up early on Saturday morning, and put on my baggiest dress:

I last wore this dress here, and I've been saving it for this very purpose: my next tattoo!

For comparison, here's my bare back (although since I have a tattoo on one side already, it's not really bare):

Three hours later, I was sore and swathed in plastic:

Of course, I headed off to Winesday with my fabulous women on Saturday night! I couldn't wait to show it off.

Here's a proper shot of it:

I love crows, and this was inspired by this painting that I bought a couple of years ago:

It's done by a local artist. Thanks, Leroy, for your fantastic work on my tattoo! I love it!

Dress (Lady Dutch, consignment), shoes (Wild Diva, swap from Caro).

Today, we just hung out with our boys:

They're still a little cautious around each other, but I think they will become firm friends.

Inigo likes to keep an eye on Vizzini from a safe distance (my lap):

Vizzini explores the deck.

Two kitties wait for dinner time:

Vizzini is mostly black, with a little white goatee, white whiskers, white tips on his front feet, a couple of white spots on his chest and tummy, and white boots on his back feet.

Isn't he adorable?Welcome to our family, Vizzini!
