Whale of the Day

This is my mom and my niece in Provincetown, MA last summer after our whale watch.  This chicken finger looked familiar...

Oh What a Night

The Black and White ball was so much fun!  The special events committee did such an awesome job and everyone looked beautiful.  My sources tell me the party raised $18,000 for the Junior League of Salt Lake City!  

Here are some pictures.

The band was phenomenal - if I ever host a big party *cough*or wedding *cough* in Utah, I will definitely have the Soul Survivors!  We boogied to Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, The Temptations, James Brown and all the classics!

Thank you for the wardrobe advice.  I went with pearls on a ribbon (LKG tells me they are back "in," and I trust her more than anyone when it comes to fashion), a green wrap (gift from LKG, obvi), and nude patent Bettye Muller peep toes.

Whales of the Day

This is pretty awesome.  The Northeast Fisheries Science Center is a research arm of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, with research stations located in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Washington, DC.  These are aerial photos they've taken of different types of whales (and dolphins) along the east coast.

Gives You Wings

Here are some beauty looks I have been saving for a rainy (dressy) day.  I want winged eyeliner and shocking pink lipstick to work on me, because they are so much fun, but I haven't the faintest how to do them myself.

Do You Like Luxury?

Busy morning at work, but here's a little something to tide you (and me) over til I'm back this afternoon...

Temps are still in the 80s here in Utah but soon enough I'll be needing these puppies from Qi Cashmere, from one of my favorite Boston stores, Queen Bee.  Snow bunny days are fast approaching!  I haven't had a pair of earmuffs in years.

Dr. Richard Laverne: Do you mind If I ask you a question?

Katherine Jaqueneau: Go right ahead. 

Dr. Richard Laverne: Do you like luxury? 

Katherine Jaqueneau: I'm sorry? 

Dr. Richard Laverne: Do you like luxury? Do you enjoy fine things? Silks? Furs? Fine exotic woods? 

Katherine Jaqueneau: I'm not sure I follow. 

Dr. Richard Laverne: Let me rephrase the question: Do you like luxury? 

Katherine Jaqueneau: Yes, I do.

Dr. Richard Laverne: I thought so. I, myself, enjoy luxury. That's why I drive the finest motorcar in the world. "Jag-u-ar."

Beluga Whales at the Georgia Aquarium, found here

The photographer writes:

"Probably one of the most fascinating days of my life or at least one of the most memorable museum/sightseeing/etc. activities in my whole life was visiting this amazing aquarium.

I was just leaving this Beluga whale tank when I noticed this kids playing with one of the wales. It was a quick shot end I didn't manage to fit in the whole whale. Nevertheless I like it. The joy and amazement this kids were experiencing was great to see. "

When I was young my parents would take me to the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut, where they have gorgeous belugas. But nothing could have prepared me for the enormous beluga tank at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. I was there a few years ago. I remember seeing about six belugas and marveling at their bellies most of all. They seem to have six-pack abs as they swim by, checking you out.

Thanks to Markus on Flickr. I love how small the kids are next to the whale.
