Buy me a martini

Just back home from dinner at a diner nearby. Burger, poutine, and cherry pie with ice cream. I am very full.

It's too darn hot, too darn hot here so going out to a place with air conditioning was a good idea but I ate too much.


Dress: Bettie Page via Modcloth (last worn here)
Shoes: Swedish Hasbeens (last worn here)

A hot day called for a sleeveless dress. I take medication that tends to make me sweat so avoiding the dreaded "pit stain" is important to me. Seems like I'm going to need to get a few more sleeveless dresses if it's already 30C at the end of May.


This dress has cocktail glasses on it and I got it from Modcloth a year or more ago. It's a nice bright yellow, as are these shoes.

I had a secret under the dress. This very relevant slip.



Buy me a martini, indeed! Alas, I stuck with beer tonight. Hope everyone is keeping cool.

Victoria Day shenanigans

Today is Victoria day in Canada so I had the day off of work. The weather has been gorgeous here this weekend and today was no exception.

To celebrate we went downtown to Bistro Le Coq for lunch.

Dress: Modcloth
Shoes: Fluevog Faiths Low | Reumah
Drink: French Martini

Since I was wearing this dress I thought it was only appropriate to have a cocktail. Tell me I'm wrong, I dare you!



These are my birthday/Fluevog Day shoes. I love the colourful wood on the heels. I really need a pedicure.

After lunch we went to the Museum of Natural History to see the exhibit of superhero and sci-fi costumes.















Out of this world...and this is the only Canadian exhibit!


Adam West's Robin Costume from the TV series

Vest and Sash worn by Captain Kirk

George Clooney's Batman costume

Darth Vader!

Indiana Jones and the Holy Grail

Captain Picard's jumpsuit. It's actually dark purple in colour, not red.

The Riddler. Very cool Creepers.

Luke Skywalker's light saber and his hand


There were other costumes too like of Obi Wan Kenobi, Seven of Nine, T-Pal, and the Wicked Witch of the West's hat. A sci-fi/fantasy nerd's delight!  Highly recommended.
