One of the most fabulous things about Portland is my roommate Marco. I met him in Astoria and we became fast friends. Within a week of knowing each other we were wearing kimonos and watching Barbra Streisand movie musicals.
We have so much in common. Love of decorating, clothing, being industrious/crafty, food, laying out and (most importantly to you, dearest tipsy reader) he also loves making a fabulous cocktail.
We’ve been decorating the apartment on somewhat of a budget, so when I came across Your Friends and Mine
AMAZING, right!? My celebrity/pop/vintage/black and white theme is coming together perfectly. Anyway, the point of all of this is the night before Dick Clark died Marco and I were discussing his portrait (top row, fourth from the right). It seemed only natural that we name our creation after him.
Cheers, Mr. Clark. Cheers.
