Since when does a drink come with a fashion accessory? Last night I went with my amazing friend Beth to Silk in The Pearl. I had a really fabulous cocktail with Lychee purée and vodka and some raspberries and other wonderful things. It was tasty, but best of all it came with a gorgeous orchid perched atop the loveliness. I believe that orchids are poisonous, but I didn't eat it. Oh no. I placed the delicate bloom on the table and then Beth suggested told me I should put it in my hair. Of course! Why didn't I think of that? Thank you, Beth! I just happened to have some fancy pearl hairpins in my purse that I carry with me for exactly this type of situation. 30 seconds later, tropical glamour was mine and I was loving my dark hair more than ever. Happily, we head on down the street to Vino Paradiso to do an Oregon wine flight, so I got take my blossom out on the town for a bit. Best of all, I lovingly placed it in a small dish of water overnight and wore it again today. I have a new place in my heart for the beautiful, delicate, decidedly strong orchid bloom.
