i am a girl!

so after spending that last few weeks roaming around in grubby work clothes the time has come to bring out the girlness...

i work as a production designer (set designer for film) in a predominately male work environment that keeps you on the run all day long. this is a job that requires that i never wear a skirt to work, always wear sneakers, jeans with the random spatter of paint and some sort of comfortable, breathable shirt, and a leather belt that has my handy dandy leatherman tool attached to it and the occasional baseball cap to keep the sun out of my eyes or the sweat off my face! by the end of the average day, i am not surprised to find paint stuck under my fingernails or spray glue stuck all over my hand and the addition of new paint spatters or random pieces of gaff tape stuck to my shoes or pants.

image of beauty...right?

well after many weeks living in this quite practical but not so fashionable attire, i relish the idea of the wrap party. a chance to remind everyone (including myself) that i am girl always makes me feel better. maybe a dress, a little make up, shoes that don't lace up, something with a little sparkle! the perfect prescription to retire those work clothes for a few days and let my other half shine.
