At Clusterfest in San Francisco, I finally caught up with the Arrested Development Bluth Company Staircar & Original Frozen Banana Stand. Luckily, we didn't take down any banners. Unluckily, they were out of bananas. </div>

I just submitted an entry into an Arrested Development fan contest, and unfortunately after writing this statement of fandom, I found it wanted 500 characters, not words. Read 500 words below.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Now, the story of a
very serious Arrested Development fan that had no choice but to write a blurb
to convince an electronics company to invite her to stay on a yacht.</i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Arrested Development is quite simply the most important
piece of art in my life. When it was first airing on Fox, my parents and I
would watch it on Sunday nights, after the Simpsons and Malcolm in the
Middle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I continued to watch on my
big box TV in my dorm room and then for years on DVDs and now on Netflix.
Season 2 Disc 1 was unfortunately lost to an Ex during a break-up, but I like
to think having even those few episodes in his life helped him to grow, even if
I had to buy another boxed set. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When I was studying abroad, those DVDs of the Bluths were my
antidote to homesickness. Some people lose themselves in fantasy worlds with
wizards and dragons but I prefer the world of the Bluths. While not far in time
or distance, Arrested Development is still a complex, fully developed universe,
which is what we seek in great literature. I always come back to them. I am
lucky that they are not my family, but just like breakfast, they are one of the
most important things to me. Sometimes to fall asleep, I listen to episodes
like a radio play, a familiar yet dysfunctional bedtime story. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The self-referential nature of the show combined with my
frequent re-watching has made Arrested Development a lens through which I view
my own experience. It brings smiles and chuckles into my day, whether it be
hearing the Final Countdown on the radio or driving by the Legoland exit,
imagining of Ice the Bounty Hunter on his motorcycle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My friend recently texted me “Exciting news – I am going to
UC Irvine, just like George Michael!” Arrested Development is a common language
that always makes us laugh. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">One area of Arrested that I
particularly love is the attention to detail in production, especially
costuming and sets. This is why it would be particularly awesome to have an
immersive experience on the yacht, with or without the Hot Cops. One way I have
explored some of the richness and humor of the costuming is on my blog.
Attached are two links that I demonstrate my fascination with the show -- which
I humbly submit as Exhibits A and B in my case as a fan under the maritime law
statute</span>. </span>

Last night my best friend Edwin and I went to our first Backstreet Boys concert, after being fans since elementary school. It was amazing. They were on point with the harmonies and choreography. I enjoyed most of their new songs, as well as their acoustic set. Don't ask me who my favorite is, I've never been able to decide. <br />
<br />
For my outfit, I followed <a href="http://instagram.com/p/bw8ob5qq26/#">Jessica</a> of What I Wore's lead and paired this bold stripe dress from ModCloth with a old concert T I found on Ebay. I love seeing my favorite straight-sized blogger wearing the same dresses I've chosen. I call the t-shirt "old" since it's from the 1998 tour and I don't think 15 years old qualifies as "vintage". I'm not that old yet. For accessories I took my color cues from the shirt and went with a red lip and nails, white pearl studs and bracelet, and black shades.<br />

Last week, I spent a few days in Southern California with my cousin visiting from New Zealand. We went to Ocean Beach in San Diego and Venice Beach. I restrained myself and only brought one swimsuit and one pair of sunglasses, but mixed it up with different accessories (my new Ben Sherman men's hat) and cover ups (like this lightweight printed dress).<br />

Today I went to the Crest Theatre in Sacramento for the last night of the Sacramento French Film Festival. It was still in the triple digits when we left the house, so out of survival instinct I opted for a light jersey top and skirt with metallic accessories.<br />

As a family of Yankee fans living in Northern California, once a year we head down to Oakland when our team's in town. I love of course love a jersey or team t-shirt, but I also love mixing in other pieces to pull together a whole ensemble in team colors. I've been wearing a lot of high waisted printed skirts recently, and I decided to pair this polka dotted one with a logo T for the contrast of sporty and cutesy.<br />

Today I earned my Masters of Arts in Education, and that meant another graduation ceremony. And you know me, I love any occasion to put special outfit together. I went with the stripe and floral dress from ModCloth, I'm really enjoying their increased plus size offerings recently. As for shoes, these Prabal Gurung for Target wedges were of course affordable and comfortable enough for the standing around waiting and steady enough to take me across the stage without wobbling like some of the girls in their sky high pumps.<br />

I saw an amazing lecture on Django & Lincoln from my former advisor and a department legend, and then met up with Edwin to watch a free concert by some hipster band. It was a lovely day. I quite enjoyed wearing this top. Even though it's basically exactly like the Prabal Gurung for Target "first date" print, I don't feel that guilty about Eloquii ripping it off since the Target line didn't extend into plus sizes.<br />

Today I had the pleasure of attending a nice, low key bridal shower for two of the lovely ladies in from my teaching credential program. Since it was on the cooler side today, I took the chance to wear some of the colored denim I bought recently instead of a dress. I'm also wearing my one of my many new Eloquii tops. The great deals in their going out of business sales don't make up for my extreme disappointment of them going out of business, but it does help dull the pain.<br />

The clouds looked pretty heavy this morning, so I had to forgo a traditional Easter frock for something more rain friendly. In order to add that pop of springtime color, I added hot pink accessories. This is my second black and white polka dot outfit with pink accessories, check out the other one <a href="http://fashionandhistrionics.blogspot.com/2013/01/obsession-du-jour-hot-pink.html">here</a>.<br />

I did however, need an excuse to wear this dress before it warms up too much. I love prescriptive holiday dressing (see tag "Holidays"), dressing up in the colors or themes of a holiday. I went for a palate that could best be described as construction paper colors kids use when making Valentines. If I was wearing this dress on a normal day, I would have worn black or gray leggings and boots. However, on Valentines day, grape is a neutral!<br />

Did I know who this Prabal Gurung was before the collection? No. Did I still have to double check his name when typing the last sentence? Yes. None of this diminishes that I really like the prints and colors in his capsule collection for Target.<br />

In order to get this long t-shirt, I cut off the ruffle hem of the drop waist dress. That styling does not do me any favors, as I discovered in 10th grade English during our Great Gatsby unit wrap up party. Drop waists are for women with boyish shapes, or at least more boyish shapes than mine.<br />

Last night, my parents had a black tie event to attend. Due to my Mom's continued weight loss, she had nothing formal to wear. This is where I came in and helped her pull an affordable outfit together that would be appropriate accompanying my Dad's tuxedo. I don't have to many formal occasions to dress for, so I had a really great time helping her out and putting some of my fancier accessories to good use.<br />

This weekend, Edwin and I drove up and spent a quick night and day in Lake Tahoe. It was a fun clothing challenge, as I rarely go to the snow, even though it's really only about 3 hours away. We stayed at a cute little lakeside cottage (<a href="http://franciscanlodge.com/">franciscanlodge.com</a>), and spent the next day practicing and taking lessons in our chosen winter activities (cross country skiing for the first time as an adult for me (visit the nice guys at the <a href="http://www.squawcreek.com/lake-tahoe-california-skiing.php">Squaw Creek Nordic Center</a>) ). I hope to be able to make it up again this winter, maybe for snowshoeing with my parents.<br />
<br />
For my snow wear, I snagged this great Land's End Parka on sale with a promotion for only $60. I know it will motivate me to go to the snow for winters to come. I also found some affordable <a href="http://www.campmor.com/outdoor/gear/Product___76469">plus size snow pants</a> my actual snow time (they do run big and long).<br />

After my morning skiing and falling about the meadow (the golf course in summer), I changed out of my sweaty clothes and huge coat into something appropriate for the warmer afternoon temperatures and hanging out in the village. I added a black military cap to cover my messy hair.<br />
<br />
Here's Edwin looking cool after his day on the slopes in his fingerless gloves and a pair of amazing $25 shades he picked up last minute at a resort shop:<br />

I'm totally obsessed with these cardigans. You'll be seeing a lot of them into Spring. They're so soft. And have pockets. I bought 2 initially (black, camel) , and then they went on sale for $25 and I bought three more (pink, fuschia, and teal). See an outfit with the black version <a href="http://fashionandhistrionics.blogspot.com/2013/01/birthday-dinner.html">here</a>). As you can tell, I've been in a pink mood the last couple of weeks, as evidenced by my last 2 outfit posts. I'll try to think up an outfit without pink soon.<br />

The outfit started with this whimsical owl pendant. I stole it from my Mom's and this was my starting point for the whole outfit.<br />

When I went out that evening this is the new satchel I wore. It's from Target and was on super clearance in the store but also online. I still definitely want one of the original Cambridge Satchel Company ones (available at <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/search?keyword=cambridge+satchel+company">ModCloth</a>), but this will do in a pinch until I'm ready to invest.<br />

Recently I've been working a lot on my bedroom decor. I just got two different art pieces, and they're my obsession du jour. Each feature one of my favorite things: France and Arrested Development.</div>

I love this print and the frame's color works perfectly with my color scheme. However, in order to get this particular framed print from Urban Outfitters, it took me three tries for one to arrive without broken glass or a chipped frame. As such, I can't recommend it 'cause I'm not confident that it'll get to you whole. That being said, they did send them each time quickly and without me having to send the broken one back. So I have 2 extra posters of this print, I'm going to give one to Edwin and keep one for a future (French?) classroom. </div>

<br />
In my last post, I discussed the <a href="http://fashionandhistrionics.blogspot.com/2013/01/book-tour-style-annameekee-hesik.html">book tour style</a> of Young Adult author Annameekee Hesik. She's recently had her first gay YA novel, The You Know Who Girls, published. She was also kind enough to grant me a sit down interview (and by that I mean we emailed and facebooked). So get ready to have your face blown off by Fashion & Histrionics first ever interview with a live human being!<br />
<br />
<div>
Fashion & Histrionics: First question on everyone's mind: What is your inseam? </div>
<div>
Annameekee Hesik: 34 inches. I have extremely long legs! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
F & H: Now the important follow-up: where do you buy your jeans? </div>
<div>
AH: Gap always has "long" in store and I
appreciate that...but the quality is lacking (<i>Intervierer's note: It's good I don't work for them anymore!) </i> I went to Banana Republic
for my skinny jeans and I couldn't believe they fit! <i>(Note: thank goodness she picked another member of the Gap family)</i>They sell "long" <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=30282">online</a> and they are cute. I tried on MANY jeans at Macy's and NONE
would even go over my lady hips. Forget you, Macy's!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
F & H: Any
general style tips for your long-legged sisters? </div>
<div>
AH: Give up on dresses.
They never make them long enough and end up fitting me all wrong. Get
yourself a tight pencil skirt and do not be afraid of those heels! I had
not tried on Skinny jeans until I was shopping last month. When I
opened
the door, the fitting room assistant did a double take and said, "Oh
yes, honey. You need to get those." If you got the legs, go for it! (and
add the heels for extra fun!)<br />
<br />
Lots more fun after the jump!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
F & H: Which stores do you shop at most frequently?</div>
<div>
AH: I am a "shop
locally" kind of girl. I like to go to Pacific Trading Company in Santa
Cruz. Otherwise, Banana Republic seems to fit my body and age. I don't
understand what is happening at the Gap or Macy's. I walk in there and
feel so confused! Why do we have to relive the 90's? It was bad
then...and it doesn't look any better now. At least, not on me.<br />
<br />
F & H:.
What was your thought process when dressing for your readings and book
tour?<br />
<i>(Note: see <a href="http://fashionandhistrionics.blogspot.com/2013/01/book-tour-style-annameekee-hesik.html">photos</a> here)</i></div>
<div>
AH: I was looking for something sassy, hip, fresh. I must have told
that to at least ten sales associates. They all had different ideas
about what was sassy, hip, fresh. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
F & H: You recently did a couple readings in Seattle, one of your hometowns. Are you a savvy packer? </div>
<div>
AH: I am a total overpacker to the point that if I only pack three pairs of
shoes for a weekend trip, I am proud of myself. </div>
<div>
F & H: I would be proud of myself too. It's irresponsible to not have options.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
F & H: What were
you trying to accomplish in your outfits for your public appearances? </div>
<div>
AH:I wanted
to look professional, but like someone who is in touch with fashion. I
write for a younger audience (teens) so I wanted to look...you got
it...sassy, hip, and fresh. And, I mostly, I didn't want to wear any of
my teacher garb. Blah. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
F & H: And for a follow-up redundant question: How do you dress for an audience?</div>
<div>
AH: Um, I like to look..sassy, a little hip, and certainly fresh. lol.<br />
<br />
F & H: In the You Know Who Girls, your heroine Abbey Brooks undergoes a
bit of a style transformation during her freshman year of high school.
Did you have a similar relationship to clothing as Abbey? A girlfriend
who encouraged you to dress more "grown-up"? Where can we expect Abbey's
style to go?</div>
<div>
AH: I STRUGGLED in high school finding pants that were long
enough. And god help me, in the 90's, girls were pegging their pants,
which means folding over the leg and rolling it up twice. So, I had to
take pants that were already high waters and make them even shorter.
Plus, I had little to no boobage when I started high school. I didn't
discover proper undergarments until about junior year. It was really
because I was poor. I would have definitely liked to have dressed
"cooler" and "hipper" and "fresher". As for Abbey, well, she will
figure it out, too. She's already found the glory of push up bras, so
we'll see!<br />
<br />
F & H: On your blog, you discuss how clothing played a role the <a href="http://www.annameekee.com/faqs/">day</a> you
met your future wife. Any thoughts on expectations of "dressing like a
lesbian" and the relationship between clothing and orientation/identity?</div>
<div>
AH: When I was in high school, the out girls I knew were either butch or
femme. I liked my long hair and painting my nails, so I went way over to
the femme side in miniskirts and makeup. After high school, I went
through a "dyke self-discovery" and totally butched it up. Guy clothes,
backwards hat, and only tennis shoes. By the time I started attending
UC Davis, I had found my own style. Yes, I like skirts and flowers and push up bras and cute chonies, but I also like to be sporty and comfy.
Then there was trying to figure out how to dress as a teacher. Oiy! At
first I was wearing overalls and jeans and ugly sweaters. When I
transferred to the high school, I wanted to recreate my style once more.
I started to wear more
professional clothes and it made me feel, you will be shocked, more
professional! Now I dress up my jeans with nice tops and cute shoes and
sport flowery skirts in the spring. I have come a long way, but what I am most
please with is that I no longer feel like I have to conform to what
society thinks a lesbian should look like (ultra femme or ultra butch). I
dress to feel good in my body and adjust it to my environment and
purpose. And, I am really excited about my two new pairs of heels! Power
to the tall girls in heels!!<br />
<br />
F & H: Did you pick the jeans on the cover art? They're really cute.<br />
AH: I picked the design and it was designed by Casey Chafouleas. Thanks Casey!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Thanks to Annameekee for her time and thoughtful responses and to you for reading!</i></span><br />

This season has been unseasonably cold here in the Central Valley of California. As such, I've been much more into outwear than I have in the past. Watching the inauguration this morning, I love watching all the coats (even though it wasn't as cold as when I went in 2009). Here are some coats I'm crushing on at ASOS hat would be perfect for today's occasion.<br />
