The telltale signs of the approaching end of year holidays include a drop in productivity at work, discounted prices on televisions, and the annual MN T-Girls holiday party. For the last ten years or so, we have marked the end of the year with a holiday party which gives us a chance to wear amazing holiday outfits … Continue reading It’s Beginning to Look Glamorous

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Grinchmas
Starting the holiday season with seeing a production of 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' by the Children's Theatre Company is my new favorite tradition. For the third year in a row (that counts as a tradition, right?), I was invited to see a production of this wonderful and charming show. Although the musical has made a few small changes … Continue reading It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Grinchmas
Turning a Mess into a Hot Mess
This past Saturday was the November event for the MN T-Girls. It was the annual photo shoot which is always a highlight. Each year we rent a studio and our friend Shannonlee pops by and takes glamour shots of our members. We've been doing the annual shoot for quite a few years and despite it … Continue reading Turning a Mess into a Hot Mess
Ten Year Anniversary Photos
I am FINALLY getting around to posting pictures from last month's photo shoot. The shoot was to celebrate ten years of working with my photographer and friend Shannonlee. These photos were taken at the Hyatt in downtown Saint Paul as well as the Union Depot which is across the street. I was very happy with … Continue reading Ten Year Anniversary Photos
Grinkie T-Girl
Hi! Last Saturday I visited Grinkie Photograpy for my third photo shoot with the incredibly talented and charasmatic Christi Williams. Photo shoots are a LOT of things. They are empowering, fun, intimidating, humbling, and overwhelming. Even after a decade of these things, I still feel a little self conscious and I never know what to … Continue reading Grinkie T-Girl
When There’s Something Lame in the Neighborhood, Who Ya Gonna Call?
The MN T-Girls, over the last (almost) 12 years have done some really amazing events. There are some activities that will provide wonderful lifelong memories and some that have been, well, let's be charitable and call them underwhelming. The MN T-Girls had our monthly event this past Saturday and as the days led up to … Continue reading When There’s Something Lame in the Neighborhood, Who Ya Gonna Call?
T-Girl and T-Rex
Not made with AI This is the stupidest image I have ever created but once I had the idea I had to do it. I'm sorry. Last Friday combined two of my favorite things: Corsetry! Dinosaurs! A few months back I discussed my corset problems and wondered if I was wearing the right style. Specifically … Continue reading T-Girl and T-Rex
Secret Plans and Clever Tricks
I've read a lot of Roald Dahl's books over the years, but I had never heard of his story 'The Enormous Crocodile' until I was invited to see the new musical adaptation as performed by the Children's Theatre Company. And oh my goodness it was amazing. From their website: The musical is a playful, high-energy production … Continue reading Secret Plans and Clever Tricks
Saturday Afternoon’s Alright for Thrifting
This past Saturday was the monthly MN T-Girls event and it was wild. I mean, not literally wild. I just felt obligated to use an obviously cliched idiom considering where we went. And where did we go? Glad you asked. We went to Wild Things Antiques and spent the afternoon looking at vintage clothes and … Continue reading Saturday Afternoon’s Alright for Thrifting
A Treasured Evening
I love fall for a number of reasons, but my one of my favorite reasons is that September marks the beginning of the season for the Children's Theatre Company. I have been so so so lucky to be invited for each new show for the last few years or so. I know I say this … Continue reading A Treasured Evening
