fashion island – Careful Now!

This is a furniture store…

Not a museum.

And there was so much staff…all women dressed in the same beige shade floating about, warmly and politely feeling out if you were interested in buying a $5,000 headboard for your $20,000 bed.

Self-portrait in jollity…

The always-epic Fashion Island Christmas tree.

LOL.

A mall with a view…

I rarely buy anything, but the view is priceless.

Obligatory holiday photo op…

Pretty much the only Christmas activity I was able to squeeze in before everyone, including me, got sick! Yay!

Best thing about today: 12/6/21

Best thing about today? Went to the local mall — very tony place — just to walk around and do a little shopping. It’s an outdoor place with lots of grandiose mis-60s architecture with a nice view of the Pacific. Koi pond, nice landscaping, and a gorgeous Christmas tree that is a popular photo op. Got the Christmas shot set up, perfect pose, loyal pooch posting adorably. And…I look down and the dog is taking a dump on the pristine display. While wearing a scarf that says “L’il Angel”. Merry Christmas, Newport Beach! You’re welcome!
