Staycation
Tonight Fancyhats and I are having a staycation. We’re staying at Hotel deLuxe. If I’m ever a rich, precocious little girl whose adventures are documented in a picture book, I’m going to live at Hotel deLuxe.
Also, I’m going to drink at their bar, the Driftwood room. This bar makes me feel like I’m having an affair and we must cozy up in the big booth so the paparazzi won’t take our picture. I hope Fancyhats wears a Fancyhat. Though I know gentlemen don’t wear hats inside, he looks very good in his new Fancyhat.
I might also wear stockings because I want to sit at the barstool and cross my legs and make that scratchy sound with my nylons. I think that’s sort of sexy.
I might wear my Fancyhat, courtesy of Fancyhats.
All I know is this week has been incredibly rough and I’m looking forward to the peace and quiet.
In other words…
Have a great weekend, Fan Club!
They have a liquor there that’s made with violets, and another that’s made with coca leaves and of course, there’s always the absinthe.
The Driftwood Bar is my very favorite bar in Portland. You do feel like you are slipping an envelope of secrets under the table and into the hand of your lover.
I know fancyhats wouldn’t be so uncouth as to wear his hat inside, but I imagine his dapper self stepping into the lobby, taking off his hat, and running his fingers along the crease, and then… my imagination runs dry because it’s Friday morning.
Anyway, have fun.
Oh! Oh! I LOVE THAT SONG! I used to play it in the car every single time I went on a trip with the kids. They ALL knew the words to it and we’d scream it at the top of our lungs. Sometimes, a bereft middle schooler would ask me if we could go for a drive just to hear the “happy song.” Those were the best drives ever.
And why is it that ladies get to wear their fancyhats inside and gentlemen don’t?
And I’m jealous of your staycation. Maybe I’ll make hot chocolate after work today at 3 p.m., put on my pajamas and slippers, then cuddle up in a blanket for the entire weekend. Turn off my phone?
I can’t turn the internet off. That makes me twitchy.
Have so much fun!
Cute hat! I would like to join the ranks of People Who Wear Hats. Also, People Who Wear Scarves.
I love that hat.
Also, I love the Driftwood Room. JEALOUS.
I love this post. I can totally picture the two of you sipping martini’s in the dimly lit speakeasy. (it sounds more like a speakeasy than a hotel bar). And that cool art deco decor looks like fun too.
Have a great time! And steal some soap so you can relive the moment again and again.
