My tumblr is a mix of photos, quotes and articles I like, daily bits from my life, and work I've done. I use Tumblr as a platform to create something that toes the line among an online scrapbook, traditional blog, and Twitter. This tumblr was started in the days of Christian Siriano Project Runway when only two people were reading, hence the ridiculous title.

A grand tour of some of my favourite businesses!

Spent today catching up on cleaning and some life stuff (putting it off) and visited some lovely businesses.

Ritz Car Wash (2622 W Chicago Ave). I have been here before and always forget how amazing they are here. My car was flithy and now it is sparkling clean! Best car wash in the city. Wonderful.

Clean as a Whistle (836 W Adams St). CUTEST DRY CLEANER EVER. So adorable. Grace, the owner, introduces herself if you are a new customer and smiles non-stop. Chats about where you live and how great you will fit in in the neighborhood. And seemingly gifted in the tailoring department (we shall see).

San Marino Deli (605 W Lake St). One of the best places to get sandwiches in town. Caprese (toasted) is amazing. Pecan cups are addictive. Pasta in vodka sauce is reportedly a revelation.

And the K-Mart at Ashland and Blackhawk is still one of the most depressing places in the city. Had to buy a garbage can and regretted buying it there. Yuck.

Step 1. Pair dress with cardigan.
Step 2. Go on date with boy.
Step 3. Stun boy with charming conversation.
Step 4. Gauge when boy is teetering on the edge of falling for you.
Step 5. Remove cardigan and saunter out the door.
Killer.

I believe I have conquered every photobooth in the city after this weekend.
Skylark is the best for classic strips—very well exposed and big frames!
Bar Deville also has really fun, saturated, retro, glossy ones.
And here is what I think is the only picture Joel and I have of each other together after 6 months of dating. Photographer irony!

In which we, and Glenn Beck, are reminded that Katie Couric has mad interviewing skills

This is amazing. My favorite part is her baffled face at the 1 minute and 30 second mark.
