Mav-elous!

Monday: silver Jimmy Choo heels

This may come as a surprise, but I’m something of a basketball fanatic. And good god almighty, my team — the Dallas Mavericks — is in the NBA Finals! I’ve been waiting some 20 years for this day to come, so in my deliriousness I’ve made a … shall we say… rather overexuberant promise.

Early in the playoffs I told people that I would paint my face if they made the Finals. Well, I had every intention to! But (1) I have no real artistic talent, and (2) even painting your face like a basketball requires some amount of skill. And then there was this buzzkill called a real job. I had some important meetings the day after the Mavs clinched so I admit it — I wussed out. Instead I went out and found some temporary tattoos (yes, even with basketball it’s all about the shopping and accessorizing) and put one on the inside of my wrist.

But I can’t be accused of not being a true fan! So if the Mavs win it all — and they are up 2-0 now in a best of 7 — bring on the face paint. Hmm, what lipstick color goes with blue and white cheeks?
