It’s from the Armory Show

But seems rather fitting for Oscar season, doesn’t it? The red lips, red nails, oversized pearls, sparkly diamonds and whatever those gigantic blue stones are — such outrageous glamour.

Run, Jessi, run!

What do you do when one of your very best friends is carrying the Olympic torch?

You run alongside cheering your heart out. Go! Jessi! Go!
