O Baby!

Barack came to visit me again today!

Gogo, early bird that she is, held a place for us in line and had already made lots of "old white ladies for obama" by the time we arrived. Unfortunately, we couldn't find a button for her with that slogan, but we did try.

The papparazzi always manage to find me. I decided that I would grant this one nice journalist an interview since it was such an historic occasion.

Unlike Gogo, our next president is not always early.

By the time Barry finally spoke. I had passed out.

I was a little confused upon waking....

... but slowly realized that people were applauding for me.

.... and I'm never one to disappoint a crowd.

Visit from Sarah

One of my mom's favorite people came to visit. Sarah Valdez!
She's super cool and has a unique fashion sense inspired entirely by the Beastie Boys.
She served as my stylist during her stay in Denver.

Sarah & Jesper helped me get ready for my coffee date with Z.
In the photo above, not the Sarah-inspired
anti-establishment behavior as well as the yoga.

Please come back soon, Sarah!

My first grape stomping experience! Totally weird. My mom and grandparents wanted me to stand in a cold mushy pile of merlot grapes and squish them. Normally, I'm all about mashing things and making messes, but I was not sure what to make of these old people asking me to do it so I tried to keep my feet as sparkling clean as possible and mostly played with the suds bucket instead of the grapes.

No worries, I'm sure that the mere proximity of my feet hovering above the grapes will make this year's merlot exquisite.

O Baby!

Mama dragged me around all morning looking for celebrities during the DNC. We met up with LT & Z, too. I crashed out early and missed seeing the cool billboard behind me in this photo.
