this is...palm springs

yesterday i was in palm springs for the bnp paribas open.

after the cold of utah a sunny 80 degree day was perfection.

i wore my old chambray tied at the waist and this j. crew factory stretch pencil skirt.

i have to tell you that i love this skirt.  i'm thinking it may replace shorts for me this summer.

i was comfortable all day and when sitting down it covered my thighs so they didn't get sunburned.

this particular pattern is sold out on line but they have quite a few other patterns that i love.

they are on sale now, see them here.

you can see my old straw bag looks like it will make it another summer and those burberry sandals too.
someone in my last post seems to think i'm screwed up in some way b/c i'm overly concerned with brand names.
well i am screwed up but it has nothing to do with brand names.
that is for certain.

this is my friend noelle.

she's wearing bright gap pants and a gap t shirt while making fun of my posing skills.

yes, they are skills.

my friends have a lot of fun at my expense.
btw we couldn't lose her if we tried yesterday.
and are those the payless shoes ballet flats in navy?
oh, yes they are.

this is ernests gulbis from latvia
he was so entertaining.

this is his mangled racket that he threw down and it bounced into the stands next to me.

he was angry that christian harrison was beating him.

he wound up winning the match

and it was thrilling to watch.

this is 14th ranked melinda czink.
she wasn't too happy either.

she lost to mallory burdett.

go USA

this is melinda who is kicking ovarian cancer in the ass.

doesn't she look amazing?

i can hardly keep up with her and that's no lie.
she arranged the whole day for us.

aren't good friends the best?!
