The first notably cold day in SF made me nostalgic for these mementos of my youth...

Behold Freaky Freezies, magic gloves that change colors when it's cold out.

Apparently they've actually been called Freezy Freakies all this time, but whatever. I had pink ones and those babies were the hotness.

Proof that I'm not the only person in SF who's already begun the countdown.

This lady already has her Christmas turtleneck on...

I spy a stocking!

Yes, I know it's creepy that I took photos of a stranger on the bus but SHH...pretend I'm Gossip Girl.

XOXO

R.I.P. Rupert, the cutest little mini deer in all the land.  I wanted him for Christmas, but after discussing the fate of the once-adorable Knut the polar bear (who went on to be a sex-addicted beast), Molly convinced me that it's probably better this way. His heart was too big for this world and I may never love anything again.

Either way, I'll be taking the afternoon off to mourn. 

But I really dig the shiny shiny suit look, as seen on Robert Downey Jr. and Adrien Brody. Razzle Dazzle.
