Indianapolis is called the “Circle City” because we have a big monument in the middle of downtown, and there’s a traffic circle that goes around it. I know we’re not the only place that has circles around symbolic structures, but we’re still claiming the nickname. My new gig is barely a block away from Monument Circle, and one day last week it was unseasonably warm so I picked up lunch and sat on the steps of the monument to eat. It was pretty much the real-life, Indianapolis version of Blair Waldorf sitting on the steps of the Met (Gossip Girl fans, anyone?).

Technically, these photos were taken after work, not at lunch. To get a mental image of what I looked like at lunch, just imagine my shoes on the ground next to me and me shoveling Chipotle guacamole into my face. So sexy, I know.

Happy Halloween, everyone! I don’t have a costume this year, but don’t fret. I’m going to a late-night performance of The Rocky Horror Show – and is there anything more Halloweeny than that? For adults, anyway? I doubt it.

I actually already went once last week (when I wore the above cheetah+leopard+leather outfit, which was tame compared to most of the audience members’ ensembles), and tonight I’m going back for more. OK, I should probably mention that my other half happens to be a cast member in this particular show, but I swear it’s not my bias talking when I say it is EPICALLY entertaining for Rocky virgins and veterans alike. Seriously, if you’re in Indianapolis this weekend, do yourself a favor and see one of the remaining 4 shows: 7:30 & 10:30 on Friday, and 7:30 & 10:30 on Saturday. It’s at the Athenaeum on Mass Ave. Get more info and tickets here.

And if you’re one of the several billion people in the world who aren’t fortunate enough to live in Indianapolis, I still hope your Halloween leaves you shivering with antici…
