I've been having mommy time. Rather than sulk about missing my friends back home and my seeming inability to find locals I relate to (that live on this side of town, don't have crazy demanding jobs with crazy schedules, or freaking move away) and make new friends, I would just gallivant around Las Vegas by myself. Kooky loner chic, that's me.
Last week I shopped by myself. I leisurely browsed racks and tried on a ton of stuff. Quite relaxing.
Today, I went to see Contagion.
I thought it was great. Points of note:
1) It made me think a lot about what I'd do if I suddenly lost my family. And the unethical things that otherwise ethical people do because of fear and good intentions toward loved ones. And everything we touch, a million times, every day. {go wash your hands and stop touching your face}
2) The musical score. It really set the pace/tone for the movie. I noticed it a lot, but not to the point of distraction, I liked it.
3) Marion Cotillard. You might remember her from Inception. I know actors don't really dress themselves in films, but I loved how she was dressed. Easy style, though under-accessorized for my tastes (but I don't guess epidemiologists amidst a crazy scary pandemic really worry about earrings and bracelets and scarves, huh?). So I looked her up when I got home and found pictures like this and this. Is she effing fantastic, or what?
So, what does a kooky loner wear to the theater? Well, wouldn't you know, a kooky loner isn't afraid to ask a stranger-casino-worker to take her picture outside the theater either, just so you could see ;)
Shirt: H&M
Shorts: Rubbish via Nordstrom
Sandals: Sam Edelman via Nordstrom
Bracelet: H&M
Necklace you can't really see: Target
And then later I was actually lucky enough to get to hangout with a friend from back home that was in town. All is not lost! LOL
