At 79, Rita Moreno is an amazing inspiration. Saturday, I saw her new autobiographical play, Life Without Makeup @ the Berkeley Rep. She was brilliant! vibrant! lithe! powerful! and gorgeous! Little did I know when I choose to wear my new, purple, felt hat that I was going to match and pose with Rita in a similar bowler hat. It was a beautiful day. I wore a matching purple flowing jacket, purple amethyst earrings, a white strappy top, pencil thin white jeans and white, wedge sandals.

My dear friend Tory, from Phoenix, visited for a few, short but very sweet hours this afternoon. 
From my favorite consignment shop, Sola Lucy, where I buy 90% of my clothes, shoes and jewelry (http://www.solalucy.com/), came most of todays look: black, Tribeca shorts; tan,"clothes" cowgirl shirt; Dan Post tan boots; black tank and sparkle wire necklace. Black cowgirl hat: Target. Angel pin (on hat) from friend. Jewelry: pukka beads from Telegraph Avenue street vendor; South American pendant from friend; beads from San Francisco Ferry Plaza vendor. 
Good time supplied by the love, trust, shared times and security of old friends.
