the finer aspects of dc

this post is dedicated to all of those people who haven't made dc their home sweet home. slowly, i have been collecting photos from around the area, proving what a fun place the nation's capitol can be to live.

so we don't have the option of seeing celebrities on the streets, but we do have celebrity impersonators willing to sell you something off their truck.

we have regular street (or should i say boat?) performers. this guy highly entertained me with his shirt tag hanging from the armpit.

we have cougars. and lots of them. the dating pool is strong.

the nation's capitol is run by some of the smartest individuals. just look at their fine work. notice anything?

in today's economy, we have some of the best sales around.

my fellow dc-ers,  i encourage you to go out this weekend and see what fun things you can find and report back. maybe, just maybe, we can convince everyone to move here. {ahem. sis...please come back}

happy weekend, friends.

two sisters, cupcakes, and a dream

once upon a time, two sisters dreamed of owning a signature cupcake shop where their daily wardrobe featured blonde ponytails, batter-splattered tees, and sugar-coated blue jeans. they even began to name their not-yet famous cupcakes after specific family members.

this weekend i stumbled upon georgetown cupcake and remembered that long lost dream. the cupcakery shares a similar story. two sisters longing to do something they love, together.

if they can do it, we can do it. sis, you still in? will you move back to dc?

oh sis, and did i mention one of the sisters drives a range rover?
