It's confirmed - I have magical powers. I made it snow in Yerevan today. We've been having warm(er) weather the last few days, and the giant mounds of slush on the roads had begun to shrink. I put my down jacket and insulated boots back in the closet. Last night it rained, and this afternoon, as I was walking into the conservatory for my voice lesson, I thought to myself, "I'm so glad it's not snowing." An hour and a half later, while I was in my car driving to church, the rain turned to snow. After the service was over, there were four inches on the ground. Yerevan has a way of poking you in the eye just when you think things are looking up. I hear the temperature is supposed to drop way down in the coming weeks.
This evening I went to a Masquerade Ball put on by some folks from USAID. I got dressed up, but wore my Alaskan Xtratuf boots to the event (and brought my dress shoes in a bag). After an hour or so of dancing, I got fed up with the heels, and put my Xtratufs back on. They were a big hit. Carina tried to take a picture, but she couldn't seem to get one that showed the full splendor of the Xtratuf. She said it was because the room was dark, but I think it was one too many vodka-and-cranberries. That's her (in the mask) and Taline in the picture below.

It's good to see that Xtratuf's are making an appearance in high society other places than Alaska.
ReplyDeleteI must admit to being a bit confused though, there don't appear to be many masks at the Masquerade Ball.. ..am I missing the point?
There were lots of masks, and most people were better sports about wearing them than me and my similarly disaffected friends. (I'm not really anti-mask; it's just that mine was somewhat ill-fitting, and I wanted to be able to see).
ReplyDeleteIt just goes to show that Xtratuf Boots go with any outfit! What a great photo of you and Xtratuf boots!
