zara make me pretty

just came back from fabulous night of shopping with my beautiful sister Maiko. shopping is like a drug to me sometimes. I actually worry about myself when i get all hazy-eyed - gotta have that sweater, gotta have those shoes....
it's just so lovely to get a new item that makes you feel pretty on the outside.
metropolis is just full of pretty things that take all your money away.
we are celebrating another birthday together and i must say, even more than the shopping, i just enjoyed hanging out with my twin. Do you know what it feels like to feel so completely comfortable with someone? So completely at home in that person's company? It's almost like you're by yourself? gosh, i sure hope you do.
maiko just gets more and more lovely every year. she gets funnier, smarter, deeper with every passing minute. she's really taking a bite out of life now and i feel proud to just watch her truck along.
happy birthday to my lovely little maiko chans. i love you more than words can say.
xoxo
