Things I Love: Bay to Breakers

The Fabulous Nicole introduced me to Color Me Katie’s blog a little while ago, and it’s just the cutest little love bug of a blog, full of bright colors, gorgeous photos and happy dances. I likes.

This post on happiness made me particularly happy (check out her professor’s note: gold) and inspired me to focus on all the things that make me happy. There are so very many, but since I just got through dancing in the streets for Bay to Breakers, I’ll start there.

I love Bay to Breakers. It is San Francisco’s version of Mardi Gras and perhaps the best costume party ever (and you know how I feel about Mardi Gras and costume parties). Gold lamé hot pants, Madonna tunes and cocktails before noon? Yes, please!

Gill, these are awesome pics. I frequently wish I had more excuses to rock gold spandex body suits. Next year, you guys need to invite Golden Power to join your crew. See why: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYpUs87ha0w

Thanks, Trina! I really think we need to create more occasions to wear gold bodysuits. You should fly out for the party next year fo sho. And Golden Power is amazing! Just… wow.

LOVE the colorful pictures; you totally captured the mad fun that is Bay to Breakers. I so wished I could be there next year, but maybe next year….maybe I’ll time my CA reception just right?
