Black Beauty

As some of you already know, I can’t ride a bike. But if I could I would want it to be this stylish black number, especially if I could wear that gorgeous dress while I pedaled around town. This photo almost makes me brave enough to endure another attempt at balancing on top of two skinny wheels. Almost.

    I do believe I need a bike like that, and heels like that to wear while I ride it.
    It’s a necessity.

    I’ll teach you! But you’re right, a stylish dress like Ellen’s black one is a necessity. I might recommend starting with flats though and moving on to heels.

    Fabulous shot. Ellen Page is slowly sneaking her way into my heart, too. She was beyond fantastic in “Inception.”

    You’ll get it, I promise! However, I wouldn’t recommend bike riding in a dress – just too many things could go wrong. ;)

    p.s. Ellen Page is lookin’ stylish!
