last night…
So I was all dressed up ready to go to a dinner party with a “french peasant” theme. Here was my outfit: 
Strangely it didn’t go over so well. Apparently people are not familiar with the French Basque Peasants and their traditional “basque-horn” head-dress. Who knew! Needless to say it was a little embarrassing to walk in and realize that only the food was supposed to be french peasant themed. Luckily I travel with an extra outfit at all times for just such an occasion!
I met some lovely people and ate alot of good food. Max made seafood bouillabaisse, which is one of my favorite dishes in all the world. Everyone there made delicious food and it was hosted by the guy in rabbit hat and cigarette looking pensive.
And at the end of the night we took some portrait shots. My brain is not working so good today so I’m just going to post these pictures and go get a glass of water.

Well, I can see your confusion – people really ought to specify if a dinner party theme is meant to be dress-up, or just inspire the menu. I guess we were going in the right direction with the french fry outfit after all, although I fail to see how a basque head-horn would not be a welcome addition to any dinner party, themed or not.
Also, when I saw you in the bunny hat, I though, oh, how convenient, it’s both a pet and a costume change!
