I wanna be a Miss Sixty Girl

I am not high maintenance, but given a little effort, I can look reasonably well put-together and I'm happy with that. Or I was, until last night when I attended the opening of the Sixty Boutique on Robson. I have always coveted Miss Sixty jeans, but given that jean shopping can so often be depressing, I have pretty much steered clear. But, seeing the fun denim, dresses and shoes available, all of a sudden, I wanted to be a rock star fashionista. Case in point, the following shoes:

I would marry those shoes if such a thing were legal. Never mind that if I had brought my credit card with me there was a very good chance that I would have walked out with thousands of dollars of merchandise. Which brings me round to the drinks... Belvedere vodka was one of the sponsors, and the martinis being poured were light, delicious and appropriately accessorized with cranberries. And as I've discovered the hard way, my willingness to spend oodles of money is directly proportionate to the amount of alcohol consumed.

The event had the requisite tiny models in cute dresses, semi-celebrities and great music. The only let down was the bathroom, which I hear was in the back alley and required a GPS system to be found. But I'm willing to overlook that given that I met my soulmate (see above photo).

Finally, I would like to say to the DJ that despite his protestations, he did in fact steal my friend's drink. I distinctly remember looking down at her beverage wondering how she got a lime in her drink when I didn't have one, and the next thing I know the DJ is slamming it back (well, taking a delicate sip). I don't care how cute you are, you've still got girl germs now.
