When I first started dressing up and doing my own photoshoots, it was a bit of a shock discovery to realise that it’s fucking exhausting. Set up the camera, take a photo, hate it, adjust the camera, take a photo, like it a bit, do thirty poses from that same spot, adjust the camera, squeeze your shoulders back, suck your stomach in, pretend like you’re not exhausted, take the photo, etc etc. Learning from previous experience and knowing that I had another day of this, I was trying to take it easy by taking lots of breaks, and drinking lots of water. The strategy paid off because I didn’t keel over and die, wearing a pained expression on my withered face. But there are noticeable time gaps between photosets, i.e. the next one, where it’s suddenly dark. This is due to a period of 2 hours where I sat in bed doing fuck all.
This outfit was actually an afterthought when I was packing. I threw it together quickly, and it ended up being one of my favourites.
I mean really, this retro lingerie outfit kind of killed.
I occasionally have this idea that I could try and be sexy or compelling on video (especially because short videos/reels seem to be where all the buzz is on social media these days) but I always end up feeling awkward like I don’t know what I’m doing because I don’t know what I’m doing. However, this instagram video kind of worked out, if you ask me.
One of the things I had done prior to arriving in Vegas was to book a fancy restaurant for dinner on the first night, which ended up being Gordon Ramsay’s Steakhouse. Largely as a forcing function to make sure I actually got out of the room. It was a winning strategy, because I wore what I thought was my most stunning dress. Here’s a video of the dress in action, and then here’s a horrible picture of me at the restaurant (“intimate restaurant lighting” doesn’t help with potatophone selfies)
The food was good – I got a tasting menu which was pretty solid. And expensive. jeez. But figured I’ll only live once, as far as I know. I got some air outside, and was starting to fall asleep, so figured if I wanted some actually good shots of this dress, I better high-tail it back to the room.
And with that…. to sleep. A surprisingly peaceful sleep, given the night before. I was thankful for that.
Looks like a great trip – thanks for sharing, and yet again you look incredible!
Aww, thank you so much!! It was a fun one, for sure! I’m already thinking about next time!!

Thank you for sharing.
Fashion reaction:
That dress that you said you wanted to wear to the wedding, it is a win. With that cardigan and those shoes, it is a very good outfit.
I think that top with the squigglies on it really suits you as well.
The red dress is very pretty. Good job!
