OUTFIT OF THE DAY: FOOF AND FUN

I can honestly say that despite my tomboy, rough-and-tumble exterior, I am very much a princess. Princesses aren't automatically girly-girls. I draw inspiration from Boudicca, Cleopatra, Freyja, and Teuta of Illyria, to name the top women on my list.

I do have an affinity for queens and warrior goddesses. I don't know if this is because I was really into history and mythology as a kid, or because I was raised in a matriarchy family. Probably both and then some. Ah, good times.

Anyways, while the family was in town, we went out to dinner at Squidlips. Silly name, but delicious food and drinks right on the river. I ordered the Green Parrot, a fruity vodka cocktail. It's so bright!

Mom and Bri looking for shells, lizards or crabs.

I managed to eek out an Outfit of the Day from our trip. Hurray!

I love the BI romper. It's a silky material that swishes and flows along the body, providing a perfect summer night cover. It's a deep indigo-purple on top and black bottoms. (Sorry for the B&W, I didn't change the setting before passing it over to Mom to take the snaps.) I felt like a fightin' princess. Thank you Jess!

The lovely young woman I'm posing with is my cousin Alex. She was so tan she looks like the native Floridian! And that's what I mean when I say I am a Floridian Albino.

Have a lovely day!
