Chic Chicago

I must say that my boyfriend is a saint. This is a great accomplishment-- given that he is Jewish. But his mother can sleep well at night, knowing that his patience and willingness to put up with my passion for fashion is near godly.

I'm spending Memorial Day in Chicago(For those keeping track of my May travel schedule: Saint Louis, Nashville, Saint Louis, DC, Saint Louis, Chicago...)and I am planning on seeing all of the sights available this coming weekend: Rod Blagojevich Superstar, the Mr. Leatherman convention at the Hilton (talk about great people-watching... I can't wait to see the faces of Midwestern tourists that just happened to book at the Hilton), and the Chicago History Museum's Chic Chicago exhibit.

The exhibit boasts over 500 couture gowns from several decades. Being Chicago, I can look forward to seeing some Halston:



I cannot wait. My boyfriend, on the other hand, is probably not sweating with anticipation for the gown exhibit... Maybe I can make it more enjoyable for him with some Sasha Baron Cohen "Bruno" impersonations.
