Yesterday I spent the morning as one of the contest judges during the Michigan FFA State Convention, held on campus at MSU. For those of you not familiar with FFA, it used to stand for Future Farmers of America and it remains an organization rooted in agriculture with a focus on leadership development. Anyways, this was my tenth convention! My first year there was as a freshman in high school and ever since, I’ve been obsessed with it. It’s so different now as a 24 year old as opposed to when I was a 14 year old boy-crazy girl. I know longer make up games such as “see who can grab the most FFA State Officer boy butts” during convention. Now, I show up in professional attire and try not to swear in front of the kids.
This is what I wore yesterday. This shirt was on sale at Macy’s and I fell in love with the sleeves and lace detail. However, I buttoned this up wrong. I woke up late and had less than ten minutes to get ready and so I didn’t notice until 12:30 p.m. that it was messed up. I painted my nails blue to liven up the muted color palette of my outfit.

I can’t wait until 11:30 p.m. to see the premiere of Lady Gaga’s Telephone music video. I haven’t looked forward to a music video premiere since TRL days in junior high! Gasp! Can’t wait!

Its a crime to be so gorgeous. You should be put in jail or some place equally horrifying.
Lots of love,

I love that blouse! The lace gives it a sexy vibe without being overtly so.
So, you didn't grab any butts this time? Too bad;)
Dap Zaftig says
Lady! Farmer butts are almost always so well toned from all that manual labor…I vote that you pick up that old game! I mean, someone has to appreciate…
That shirt knocks my socks off. I adore it. And how fun and saucy of you to wear such an outfit to FFA! I love it.
PS: Thank you for alerting me to the fact that there is a new Gaga video entering the world tonite, I shall be looking forward to it anxiously!
