How crazy is it that I immediately booked a flight to Los Angeles as soon as Gertie posted on her blog about a book party there? It would have been nice to have more advance notice than 6 days in terms of airfare, but as Tim Gunn says, I made it work. I met Gertie a couple of years ago when she came to Nashville for an exclusive couture exhibit here. I'd forgotten how much prettier she is in person; the pictures on her online don't do her justice. I wasn't crazy about the pink hair from the blog pictures, but in real life, she totally rocks it!
The retro picnic included pink ambrosia Jello mold and addicting peach rum punch.
I enjoyed seeing Gertie's garments on display.
I was happy to meet up again with my bizarro world twin Anh, whom I met through Pattern Review. She came with another friend that she also met through PR.

Crazier still, I was able to rope my sister Kim into flying out from Denver to join me. She graciously served as my assistant/slave/photographer for the whole trip.
