Last Friday I went to see the Indianapolis Symphony perform “Music of the Mad Men era” – aka lots of awesome 60s pop songs turned orchestral. Since there was a more laid back theme, I didn’t feel weird about just wearing my casual Friday work outfit straight from the office to dinner to the symphony. While I was sitting in the theater sipping my champagne and enjoying the music, I had the genius idea that there should be some kind of nightclub slash adults-only theme park where it’s essentially like you’ve just gone through a time machine to the 1960s. Everyone would have to look the part (in other words, I couldn’t wear this outfit, but I could probably wear this one), so there would be a big hair and wardrobe area at the entrance where you could get a makeover. Once you got in, there would be different stages set up with bands playing music from the era. Drinking and dancing, of course. And there obviously couldn’t be any cell phones or flat screen TVs. We would have to remember how to have fun without telling all our friends about it in real time.

Seriously, how cool would that be? If there are any investors out there reading this, drop me a line. Let’s talk. I’ll also need someone with hospitality management experience. I’ll take care of the legal part and the awesome outfits part. Let’s make this happen, people.

Look – peonies! And a jean jacket over a pretty dress! DO I GET MY OFFICIAL FASHION BLOGGER MEMBERSHIP CARD NOW? I imagine the card is embossed with rose gold polka dots and has a watercolor macaron on the back. And it must be a square rather than the usual rectangle (because Instagram, duh).

Seriously, though. What’s the deal with the fashion blogosphere’s peony obsession? Every May (aka peony season) I see about a million #peonies photos. Per day. Don’t get me wrong, peonies are beautiful. But you know what else is beautiful? Pretty much every other damn flower.

Incidentally, the peony is the official state flower of Indiana, so as a Hoosier I think I’m allowed to share a peony shot every once in awhile without becoming Just Another Fashion Blogger. But I still want my membership card. I heard it comes in a gift basket with a Jo Malone candle and a free brunch voucher.
