The cocktail force has been strong in our home lately. Since my boyfriend left for work before I was done shooting, I double fisted these rhubarb sours solo (and braless, because who the hell cares at this point). I’ve slowly let myself go in terms of general maintenance/appearance and I can’t really say that I’m mad about it. I mean, the two hours I’d normally waste blow-drying my hair can now be spent in the backyard with cocktails in hand. Should I be concerned about the fact that I haven’t styled (or washed) my hair in over four days and that the only fruit I’ve ingested is the fermented kind? Meh. I’ll pick that battle another day. Come to think of it, I encourage everyone to drink these rhubarb sours braless with a dirty quaff. The bougie drink is enough to counter whatever decrepit state you’re in and in the off-chance that it isn’t, you’ll be too inebriated to care. See? Cocktails can fix any problem.
