khaki riches and cookie dreams!

y’all my pants are about to explode from excitement cos tonight i’m hosting “troop beverly hills” for girlie night at the alamo!!!

I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH!! ha ha, of course i love it, cos i programmed it! that reminds me of driving around with my mom in junior high (and, ok, high school) and listening to one of my mix tapes, and every time a song would come on, i’d squeal, “OMG I LOVE THIS SONG!” and mom would say, “of course you do! you made this tape!”*

*by the way, i still do this.

speaking of my awesome mom, check this out:

i know what you’re thinking… LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE SWEET PATCHES. yes, yes, i was a total brownie all star. this picture was taken at a ceremony our troop held to celebrate our new ranking as *real* girl scouts (i.e. we got to start wearing green! major fashion plus!).

fortunately for me, “troop beverly hills” hadn’t been released yet, so i went about earning my patches in rocks, starting fires and how to sleep in a stinky tent while remaining blissfully ignorant of things like fondue, shoe shopping and chanel.

in fact, my troop leader, mr. phil, was pretty much the exact opposite of phyllis nefler (although they totally have similar first names! i just realized that!!!). let’s compare:

mr. phil:

phyills nefler:

mr phil: hippie dad

phyllis nefler: rich, flighty mom

mr. phil: nature lover

phyllis nefler: black belt in shopping

mr. phil: handy with a knife

phyllis nefler: handy with a credit card

even though mr. phil was actually an AMAZING troop leader, and i loved him bunches, if i was forming a troop now, i would HAVE to go with phyllis. i mean, she goes camping WITH CHAMPERS. she wears ENORMOUS HATS. she uses a cigarette holder for goodness sake, and i don’t even like smoking!

i still DREAM of a day when i can survey a room full of beautiful, fancy pants shoes and then say, “this one and this one… out. i’ll take the rest!” GOAL OF MY LIFE!!!!

ok wait my other life goal is to own this dress:

it’s like, pastel harlequin barbie! with gloves and a bustle! this is the type of dress you pretty much need to wear every day. and yes, i thought the same thing when i was ten. cos this level of fashion? TIMELESS.

this movie also gave me a few other dreams that i have yet to accomplish, including:

1. slumber party at the beverly hills hotel!!! with room service! and then we can tell scary stories about stylists named renaldo!

2. finding those nasty red feathers and KICKING THEIR PANTS.

3. a romance novelist best friend who wears sequined animal print and whispers erotic thoughts into a tape recorder (come on, meredith, you KNOW you could totally rock the leopard print!).

seriously, i really need to start a troop beverly hills for adults. in austin. so i guess it would be more like troop austin, tx. or maybe troop fancy pants! yeah i like that better. and we could earn patches in Champagne Appreciation and Navigating Nordstrom! and do glamorous things while wearing fabulous matching outfits!! who’s in?!! and what should our first field trip be?!!

i’ll leave you with the inspiring message of my favorite song about baked goods. cos IT’S COOKIE TIME!!!
