Kathleen and Kendi. Everyday.
It would be awesome if the story went something like this:
So, Jeremy and I were walking around South Congress street in Austin last week - just shopping and eating when we stumbled across a Kendi Everyday photoshoot! You guys know Kendi, right!? The kindofabigdeal fashion blogger who is all unicorns and rainbows! And for you dear, readers, I totally photobombed it.
But that's not the truth.
The truth is Kendi, and her fantastic husband Bryan, hired me to design their brand identity for their photography business (more on that later). And through this experience of working together we decided that we should probably be best friends too. So when we were all working in Austin on the same weekend we had to get together for a drink.
It's always a little awkward meeting with a blog friend in real life because a blog is just a little snapshot of what we decide to share with the world. Kendi was worried I was going to think she was all unicorns and rainbows (she IS but not in a sugary sweet Pollyanna way - more like in a rad and genuine Lisa Frank kind of way) and I always worry about coming off as if I couldn't actually kick ass in the post-apocalypse. I also have to reassure new friends that Jeremy is just as quiet in real life as he is here on this blog - that he's not secretly judging you.
So we chatted (but mostly laughed) over margaritas and beers. I told my favorite story about how I met my number one celebrity crush, Alan Cumming (and Cyndi Lauper!), and Kendi told me about the time she touched Mandy Moore's hand. And as we parted ways we all assured each other that we would stay best friends forever and I swear, you guys - I saw a psychedelic unicorn waiting around the corner for Kendi to saddle up.

You gals are a-doy-rable. Kathleen, how tall are you? I'm thinking we can't live together if you're gonna make me look like a midget. i can take the asscheeks and baby props... but I draw the line if you're over 5'7.
Uh oh - I'm 5'9". And more like 6' in those wedges that are permanently glued to my feet.
Those wedges are outrageously great. I'm also 5'9"... working out my fear of heights this week by wearing heels two whole days in a row! Look out, world!
Ridiculously adorbs. Like, we need a human version of cuteoverload. Hugs!
For the record, that unicorn was a bust. She made me pay to drop me off in my rainbow castle home in the sky. Supposedly unicorn taxi's have now formed a union.
i adore this post. and i think i'd like to be best friends with both of you...which is probably weird but look how much fun you guys are!
Cute!
(And I live in Austin and would have loved to meet you! Next time. If you're into meetups and stuff.)
