I am visiting my mother in Asheville, NC. She lives in India, but is visiting friends. She brought me this gorgeous cotton dress from Ether Or, my favorite clothing shop in Pune. It fit me like a glove:

Asheville has a lovely little upscale/bohemian downtown, which I look forward to exploring more. Too bad it's 90 degrees.
While strolling downtown we saw a living statue. I couldn't help thinking how incredibly hot she must be:

We then saw a topless woman stroll past. I was on the phone with a friend, and I completely lost the thread of the conversation. No one else seemed especially startled. (People would have been very startled had a topless woman strolled around downtown LA.)
Also we saw two adorable Yorkies, Romeo and Juliet, in a baby stroller.

Tonight we saw an outdoor production of The Taming of the Shrew. It was mediocre but entertaining. None of us were sure why everyone was a pirate. (That reminded me of the immortal quote, "None of us knew why the Duke in Measure for Measure was four vampires.") The funniest moment was when an actor, I am 99% sure accidentally, addressed Petruchio as Pistachio. The second-funniest was when a slightly drunk woman in front of us yelled "BAAAAAAARF!" during Kate's "female subjugation is awesome" speech.
