I planned to have a relaxing weekend lazing around in my sweats doing a whole lot of nothin. Instead I ended up at yet another musical and a 9am Thai Chi class.


My friend called as she was able to snag two for one tickets to see Priscilla Queen of the Desert which I had wanted to see! I love unexpected shows like this and for a fraction of the normal cost, sign me up! We wandered around for a few hours before the show, shopping and shopping and shopping! I'm in the market for a pair of flat boots and saw ohhhhh about 10 pairs that I fell in love with. There's this super cute shop called Heel Boy I had never seen before, they had quite the collection, some unique, some classic and others simple. I vowed to go back after my Black Friday shopping trip if I don't find anything in the States for cheaper!

Priscilla was absolutely fabulous to say the least! I've seen several musicals/plays and this was by far one of my favorites! It was freaking hilarious, not to mention very flashy with the colourful costumes and just an all around fun show! I was dancing in my seat to "I Will Survive" and my face hurt from laughing so hard throughout the evening. If you have the chance, go go go and see this wonderful show you won't be disappointed at all!! (FYI not suitable for children, someone actually brought theirs! I'm sure they really enjoyed all of the sexual innuendos....*sarcasm*)

It was a lovely evening out so we decided to walk back to the car which was quite a ways away about 45 mins or so. Best idea ever, umm hello it was a Saturday night on Halloween weekend, we saw sooo many costumes! My favorite by far was a man dressed up as a vagina, with a string hanging down. I burst out laughing to which he replied "pull my string"! We politely declined and continued on our way. I kind of wonder what would have happened had we obliged......

I don't normally wake up early on a Sunday morning however there was this free Thai Chi class someone asked me to attend. It was interesting in an "I'm not sure I'll go back but I might" kinda way. For one thing it's super early, another it's surprisingly difficult. We were taught one or three moves (I'm not sure which number) in an hour and I'm embarrassed to say my thighs were burning midway through. I figured if the older gentleman beside me could do it so could I but it was much more difficult than it looks. I suppose once it's mastered it could be a very relaxing exercise with a steady flow to the movements. My mind today however was racing all over the place trying to remember the hand placements and techniques, it was anything but relaxing!


PS: other cute footwear I saw whilst shopping!




I thought these boots were kinda fun! They remind me of the Victorian era!These Hush Puppies were super cute too!!!

I want to see Priscilla too!! I've been hearing great things. I even have a friend who wants to see it, so I'll really should get on that.

Sadly, Evita in Stratford closes super soon. I think next weekend is the last. Stratford always does pretty much everything well, so you should take a trip there next summer. You'd love it!

I love shoes. Sigh.

Hey, I had a similar experience recently. I saw a show, Avenue Q. It too had sexual innuendo. Then again, it also had muppet sex, so... Then I went shoe shopping. Didn't get anything with heels though. But c'mon. You don't expect me to wear heals, do ya? Bought a couple pairs of Pumas. Blue suedes (yeah, that's right. I gots me some blue suede shoes baby doll) and a pair of Puma Dallas in dark green. Snazzy.

Thai Chi is a great art, but yeah it's tough. It's nice to have the moves down so you can practice on your own.

Christielli, you must go and see it! They put on a great performance and it's soooo much fun!

WIGSF, I suppose not, but Prince wears heels and I think he's super cool so they're not out of the question!

Wiwille, yes it is surprisingly difficult, who knew! This guy has videos on youtube so I can learn the moves at home thankfully!

I love love love musicals. Unfortunately my husband hate the theater. :( So I've not had a chance to see anything in forever. Glad you had fun though!

I have been wanting flat boots for a year now. My mom and I were at shopping in August and happened upon the perfect pair. I am in love with them and pissed at Texas weather for not being cold enough sooner so that I could wear them.
The ones you have pictured look wonderful.
Have I mentioned that I'm a shoe whore?

So over the years I have figured that our taste in women shoes are different. But still the boots looks hot.

Miss Ash said...

Lindsey, oh boo to him! Go with some of your friends!

Berly, they do take forever to find! I hope you bought them!!!

Yrautca, Ha! You must like 9 inch stillettos!
