Eccentric

This is the kind of thing I would put on in the morning and then before I left the house I would chicken out and change something.

I swear the first two or three times I put on red lipstick it didn't make it out of the house. I have since overcome that particular twinge, but I still lack to courage to publicly sport some of my more daring fashion preferences. In New York I could be a little more bold, because pushing the envelope is generally celebrated there. In Orem, Utah? NOT so much.

Someday I'll live in California again, and while they are less averse to the eccentric, they are super laid back, and sometimes when I fashion-ify myself there I feel over-dressed.

Part of me says: "I do what I want!"

The other part of me squeamishly says, "But people will think I'm weird!"

I need opinions on this... Being taken seriously is pretty important to me. Can I indulge some of my more quirky fashion tendencies without completely undermining my credibility?

Hicksville Trailer Palace

I love creative people. I love creative people with a quirky streak. I do not have a quirky streak. I am 33% cool, 33% dorky and 33% Diet Dr. Pepper.

Behold, the Hicksville Trailer Palace in Joshua Tree. That's right, its a motel made of themed trailers (one 70's, one alien, one pony...). Which are all surprisingly affordable for a night of quirky adventure. 

I need 7 other awesome couples who want to come spend a night with us in Hicksville. If we each pick one trailer we could rent out the whole place and have it to ourselves. We will BBQ and play charades and swim in that funky little pool. Are you getting excited?
