Hey gurl heyyyy, it’s the finale of Season 7 of “Drag Race”! I was feeling kind of meh-mer about watching it, as my favorite Katya was booted off weeks ago, but I watched it anyway and it was damn good. Damn good indeed! The lovely and stunning 22-year-old-with-a-23-inch-waist Violet was the winner, which I suppose is FINE. Harrumph.

Saturday evening my little brother and his new wifey showed up in Seattle. I fed them steak fajitas and then on Sunday we took them to church, followed by brunch at the Totum restaurant.

Then we drove downtown to show them Pike Place Market, which my brother had never been to. Stephanie bought a beautiful tie-dyed teal shirt from one of my favorite vendors, and we had some delicious gelato and went to Milagros.

And then finally, FINALLY! We went to Post Alley to see the infamous Gum Wall, one of the top 10 Germiest Tourist Attractions in America! Woo hooooo!

It was actually a lot cooler than I thought, a colorful mash-up of art, graffiti AND gum.

There’s my pink shiny gum in the center! SO PROUD. I made videos too but I haven’t watched any of them yet.

We met Mr. Dan and looked at his rad artwork.

Pike Place always has the most gorgeous fresh flower bouquets for sale. And the prices! Five to ten dollars apiece–nothing!

Feeeeeeling this calla lily bouquet. I am totally planting calla lilies next year.

On Monday the kids flew off to Hawaii, luckyyyyy! Speaking of lucky, I’m feeling pretty stoked about my art show on Thursday! I even managed to sell 13 of the 20 tickets I needed to (sigh). Be right back!
