Diva for Rent!
Well, that title may be a tab bit misleading.
One (or two) available Diva(s) to be taken to Rent @ the Fox!
In exchange for taking a Diva(s) to RENT I will supply:
- A drink for you! To be bought before the show or during intermission. No more waiting in those pesky refreshment lines!
- Transportation to the show! (As long as you live in town.) You have the option of a dirty little SUV or a filthy minivan! WOW! Any snacks you find in either are all yours!
- Fun Divaesque conversation!
- Unlimited charm as long as you are on your best behavior!
- Laughter during the appropriate sections of the show
- Tissue for you in case you cry at the sad parts.
- A hand lettered Styrofoam ConfessionsofaDiva.com cup! Holds hot or cold beverages!
- A RENT playbill autographed by a DIVA (or two).
RENT lovin’ DIVA,
Zoë!

Words you never thought you'd hear from your toddler:
"Daddy, you're a pimp!"
Oops. Maybe Mom shouldn't listen to 50-cent in the car any more.
~Z~
Happy Birthday John!
Without you Chapter 3 would be really boring!
Love,
Zoë

Thought for the day:
An espresso has less caffeine than a cup of coffee!
- A cup of drip brewed coffee has about 115 milligrams of caffeine,
- an espresso (and percolated coffee) about 80mg,
- instant coffee has about 65mg of caffeine.
- Decaffeinated coffee is not totally caffeine free, containing about 3mg of caffeine.
- A can of Coca-Cola has about 23mg of caffeine,
- Pepsi Cola 25mg,
- Mountain Dew 37mg,
- TAB 31mg.
- Tea has about 40mg of caffeine,
- an ounce of chocolate contains about 20mg.
Huh. And here I thought I was getting MORE caffeine by drinking espresso drinks....must've just been the extra sugar rush from the flavoring.
Caffeinatedly Yours,
Vi

OH OH OH!!!!
I'm sorry, Zo. This I've GOTTA post.
Blake and Matt have been gracious enough to agree to make the Johnny Blogfodder a drink on the Tangerine menu!!! (Look for it in the next round of menus....my guess....Februaryish?).
We're so excited!! ThankYouThankYouThankYouThankYou!!!!
DivAppreciatively Yours,
Vi
HAPPY TURKEY DAY!
Man, oh man did Zoë and I have an interesting afternoon & evening yesterday......there's SO much to tell!!
We started with me dragging Zoë to get a pedicure. Woo Hoo to the nail-divas at the Nail Spa! Zo got French-manicured toes, and I got what Zo affectionately calls "Turkey Toes" ('cause she says they're the color of baked turkey). I think they're more pumpkin.....Anyhoo - we munched on homemade eggrolls created by the lovely ladies there, and sat in luxurious massage chairs while our feet were pampered. VERY Diva. A vital expense.....
Then, last night, Zoe decided she couldn't stay away any longer, so we went to Tange. We LOVE Tangerine. And there's sooooo much to post, that we're gonna have to wait until tomorrow to do most of it, since it's a family day. :)
But I'm not gonna let this day go by without saying a BIG thank-you to all of our Diva-Pals & JBF's from last night, soooo...
THANK YOU to: Blake & Danielle--our Holly GoLightly look-alike--(we LOVE you guys!), MixMaster Matt, Andy, Liz and Erin, (the BEST bar staff in town!), and the adorable JBF's I met - Nick, Ryan, Travis and Mark.
All of you made our evening so enjoyable - and those are just the folks I have to thank - Zo has a completely different list. (It was quite a busy evening.....)
DivArtistly Yours (with dressing),
Vi
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
The Diva's are off today, but boy oh boy did we collect some blogfodder for you last night! Oh, and the confessions that are going to have to be made! Then there is all the fodder that I'm sure will come from spending the day with our goofy families! Stay tuned!
There is one confession that can't wait though. Sorry Dust Mite Chris. I really did mean to bring the pepper dish back.
Gobble! Gobble!

The Dress of my dreams!!!
Yes, it's true. While looking at tiaras online (OMG - Did I just say that??), I found the wedding dress of my dreams.
For those of you who don't know, I'm all about butterflies. I think they're beautiful, delicate, and most live their entire lifetimes in the span of four months or less. Some species travel thousands of miles just to create more butterflies and die. Imagine!
Did you know that when a caterpillar creates a chrysalis and goes within, it completely liquidates its body and reforms itself into a butterfly? I'm amazed by this, and deeply appreciate the symbolism of transformation - the re-creation of the self.
Ok, so before I get too Buddha-Diva on you, I'll put up the link, so all of you can see the butterfly dress of my dreams:
http://www.thebridalshop.com/sg2594.htm
And as those of you who've shopped for them before know, Divas, the dress of your dreams for UNDER $400 is a near impossiblity.
I may have to sell a few gallons of blood.
Diva-dreamingly yours,
Vi
p.s. - I'm NOT wearing a wedding dress to your birthday party, love....it's YOUR day. I don't want to bedazzle everyone with MY beauty (HA!!!!!)
p.p.s. - Lest this topic of "slutty dresses" be deemed inappropriate, I'll say this: I don't mean "streetwalker-get-me-arrested" slutty.....I mean a "DAMN-i-look-GOOD-in-this-dress" kinda slutty. ;) And we ALL need one of those, don't we, Divas???
p.p.p.s. - Who am i kidding? It's just an excuse to shop.
The dress of her dreams:
Vi emailed me the dress of her dreams the other day. While I was gushing at it online, Daniel peers over my shoulder and asks:
"Why are you looking at wedding dresses?"
"This is Vi's dream dress."
"What does Vi need with a wedding dress?"
"I know, that's the thing. She doesn't need one but isn't this beautiful?! I told her she should wear it to my birthday party."
"Uh huh. I see."
"She said she needed something far sluttier for my birthday party." I laughed.
"Well, Madonna managed to make wedding dresses look slutty. I'm sure Vi could figure something out."
When I share this conversation with Vi:
(Girly squeal of delight) "Awww! He compared me to Madonna!"
Vi, I think it's only fair you link the dress to the site, honey. And who needs a wedding dress as an reason to wear one to a party? Aren't all the rules for party wear out the window? I think you should wear it dear. C'mon! I'll wear one too! They already know we're crazy so what's stopping us now?
Zoë
Thought for the day:
Hello out there - here's your daily affirmation:
YOU ROCK! You are SO beautiful, SO funny, SO charming and SO delightful to be around, that other people light up from the shimmering glow of your DIVA-essence!
Now, look in the mirror and say it three times. Or as many times as it takes you to BELIEVE it. ;)
DivAffirmingly Yours,
Vi
