I had the most unexpected time of my life at the secret Red Hot Chili Peppers show at the Miner’s Foundry in Nevada City on Friday night! All my closest peeps kept the band’s identity from me all week (including Suuzi! Evil!), but I figured it out about an hour before they took the stage. And I was STOKED. You know I’ve been crushing on Anthony for about two decades now. I weasled my way to the front row and jumped up on stage during the encore, which you can watch above (look for the back of me about 7 minutes in- but don’t skip ahead or you’ll miss some amazing shit!). Suuzi and I had photographed the vintage white tattered lace dress I wore to the show about a month ago, thinking I would sell it. I am *so glad* I didn’t! It was the perfect dress to wear to something-that’s-gonna-be-rad-but-I’m-not-sure-what-it-is.

After the show was over Chad handed me (and some other lucky ladies) a drum stick, complete with hundreds of tiny wood chips banged out of it.

The show was incredible. Flea and Anthony are both going to be 50 next year but are as hot, ripped, and energetic as ever. (According to Suuzi they are, like her, serious Kundalini yoga practitioners). Chad, as evidenced above, tore it up on the drums.

Ah, the up sides and down sides to having an online vintage clothing shop.

You don’t have to wake up, be somewhere, and clock in at a specific time. But you do need to be self-motivated and cultivate focus when a million other things are calling for your attention.

You don’t have to deal with any bosses or cranky coworkers. But you do need to negotiate relationships with an array of online personalities who you will never meet in real life.

You don’t have to worry about if what you’re wearing is appropriate for work. But you do need to look fabulous!

Okay, so sometimes we show up for our photo shoots in yoga pants with circles under our eyes, begging for coffee. But sometimes we are chipper as can be and wear our favorite vintage frocks to the job site! At times like that, we sure are glad there’s a camera nearby.

I’m just about to head over to Suuzi’s farm for this week’s photo shoot. Coffee’s been taken care of and the perfect weather has put a big smile on my face. All that’s left to do is go choose another sweet outfit and show up for work Dressed For Success!
