I’ll be at the Holly Becker/Decorate book signing tomorrow! I asked a while back on Twitter if anyone else was going, but aside from the lovely Alexandra, I heard crickets. I refuse to feel miffed. It’s because you live outside California, right?* I know it’s not because you are willing to miss an opportunity to see me look older, heavier, shorter, and infinitely more awkward than I do here on the blog.** And if that’s the case, shame on you. Where’s your catty female spirit?!
The mood board portion of the event is full, but the book signing is open to anyone willing to hang around and have fun. Afterward, Tristan, Danni, Alex, Andrea, and I will grab a bite to eat. Please do join us! All we ask is that you keep your van, rope, and chloroform soaked rags at home.
* Seriously. In which state do you live?
** Do you remember that scene in Moonlighting where Cybil Sheppard’s character (Maddie Hayes!) opened the door to her office and addressed Bruce Willis (David Addison, Jr.!) from behind a gauze-y tissue because there wasn’t a soft lens? I want to do that tomorrow.
I live in Kentucky. Do you really think we get quality book signings?
Don’t knock Kentucky! I hear it’s great. I want to visit there one day.
Oh Jules, this post just made me laugh out loud! I can only speak for myself, but I didn’t answer you on Twitter because you are right, I don’t live in CA! I’m in the Midwest, but of course not the part that Holly already visited! :( Also, Moonlighting is one of my all-time favorite shows (I admit I have all seasons on DVD) so yes, of course I remember that moment! Oh it was so good, wasn’t it?! I totally think you need to do that tomorrow! :) Bonus points to anyone who can guess where the “look” is from, although of course it was nothing new for anyone who has watched any movies like “It Happened One Night”…
Tell me! I want to know about “the look.”
Oh it’s THE “look”…the look that says come hither with your eyes…basically now I would equate it to knowing that you’re “all that and a bag of chips”…seriously though, you must watch the movie. Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert, directed by Frank Capra. Really amazing and she gives him the “look” many times over! :-) Classic.
oh, well I’m ‘out of state’….in Germany. =) I’m hoping to catch Holly when she comes to Frankfurt (finger’s crossed!).
HAVE FUN!!!! I would love to see her in CA and at an Anthro store. Sounds like a total blast!!
She’s coming to Frankfurt!?!
I’m near Chicago, but Tuesday’s event was First Day of School Eve, so it didn’t make my calendar…
Ah, Jules, I’m in New Jersey. Otherwise, I’d be all over it. And since I’m fresh out of chloroform, you wouldn’t have to worry. ;) Haven’t thought about Moonlighting in forever. Thanks for the awesome image.
Hope you’ve got some pics of the evening to come, yes? And not just because of the gauze-y gettup.
Three-hours-from-anywhere-interesting, Pennsylvania.
Hah!
I live in Houston. And you know, Holly, we have an Anthro here, too.
Jules, you know you’re a sexy thing. Personally–you know the Venus of Willendorf? I’M BRINGIN’ IT BACK.
From your lips to God’s ears, Mamacita. That would solve a lot of problems for me.
This is why I hate meeting people in public. I am really photogenic and I am REALLY good at taking pictures of myself that look nothing like me. It’s way beyond smoke and mirrors. Remember that one time David Copperfield made the Statute of Liberty disappear? I’m that good.
It should be a lot of fun. And you absolutely deserve credit for pointing out the date of the event to me – I was able to RSVP just in time!
As much as I would have loved to go to the book signing and meet up with you for lunch it’s just too, too long a commute from Michigan. ;) Some time in the near future we’ll be getting an Anthro in our town (so hard to believe) — perhaps you can come this way?
I’m in Northern VA, in the DC metro, and I love you for busting out a Moonlighting reference. I loooooved that show. Bruce Willis will forever be David Addison to me.
I’m in NJ but in San Diego this week with the fam on vacay. Would have been cool to hang out! Ah SD, can’t believe people get to live like this…PS all the home org talk is timely. Have big plans on scanning paperwork to hopefully get our home filing in order. Let you know if I ever get started!
I’m in Orange County but I’ll be spending my night sitting on the dirty carpeted floor of a dance studio reading a book while my daughter takes her ballet and lyrical classes. Jealous?
I’m new to your blog, was referred by Cardigan Empire referral. Love it! I’m in Georgia though, so won’t be sayin’ hi in person…
What?! No book signing at their Boise location? Weird.
But you ladies have a fabulous time … without us; no, really … enjoy yourselves … don’t feel bad … we’ll be fine …
Austin, TX, where we’re super crafty, and we have an Anthro right next to an independent bookstore, even, and still we didn’t make cut.
I am from Omaha, NE — but I would be there if I could! And by the way, who knew Anthropologie was a great place to find books?! I have found several good reads at our location!
Sidebar, Jules: I am not sure I believe in the “photogenic” thing. I used to think I was “un-photogenic” but it turns out that I over-estimate my fantastic looks! You are probably under-estimating your skinny youthfulness!
Nope! I’m a 14/16. I’m not underestimating anything! :)
I was way too late to RSVP, and that was when I checked quite awhile back. But have a great time!
You’re too late to RSVP for the mood board presentation, but the book signing is open to everyone and doesn’t have a limit. Come!
Colorado Springs
Just returned from our incredible Coronado Island hunni-moon, though, and I gotta say there’s something special about that California…
Speaking of Bruce Willis (and now, I will show my trashy guilty pleasure), the guy (Rick) who owns the shop in Pawn Stars looks just like him. Check it out if you haven’t. It’s like Bruce Willis in the pawn store, a few years (and more cigarettes) later.

I never noticed before, but you’re right!
Maryland, here! Although I’m sure you are even more dazzling in real life than in my 10.1″ of screen space.
Nope! You should see the pictures from tonight. I’m hoping Tristan can somehow manage to edit the horror. O_o
Washington (state, not DC) :-)
Portland, OR.
Shall I get with this whole twitter thing? Really?
I’ve been on it over a year and I’m just now getting the hang of it. I like it!
Gah! I wish I still lived in Philly.
OMG, you actually worked in a Moonlighting reference? I will be your friend forever. But I live in Nebraska.
New Zealand, so not helpful at all. But i loved the Moonlighting reference. Funny, a couple of weeks ago I thought of this and looked for episodes on youtube. thanks to the note above I see I can get dvds of the series. next stop Amazon.com.
Haha!
You can’t be shy, you’re on the Internet!
It always cracks me up when I find out a friend is shy. I don’t get it. Because they’re the ones with the killer sense of humor!
Writing from D.C.
PS- LOVED the Moonlighting reference.
I know I’m way late to this post, but for what it’s worth, I’m sure you looked fabulous and I hope you and your friends had a great time! I’m in South Carolina, but I grew up in Kentucky and actually know KyLydia. No, Kentucky’s not that small; we’re from two completely different parts of the state, but we did happen to be sorority sisters at a very small college in Kentucky. :)
Ok- I’ll fess up, I read your blog all the time and never post. Not fair right? You’re just totally relatable and I feel like you just ‘get it’. You won me over with your posting on why you decided to stay home. Would love to meet you- but alas, Colorado is just too far away! Have fun!
