Happy Caturday Poll-- Valentine's Edition

  Hi everyone!!  One of my favorite bloggers (like, the only big name I read on a regular basis), Pink Sith, does a weekly poll with some random and not so random questions for her readers.  I love reading and participating and I thought I'd try and come up with some questions of my own.

  So-- Valentine's Day was yesterday and I admit that I've always liked the holiday, whether single or attached, and despite its reputation as a "Hallmark holiday".  I don't care.  Love is grand, love is a many splendored thing, and yes, we should be celebrating our loved ones every day, but it is such a potentially positive thing to have a day set aside to revel in it.  My parents made it special for my sisters and I growing up and I remember getting Valentine cards in the mail from my Mamama* after I moved out on my own.  So it's always been a celebration of many different forms of love, for me.  C hates it but humors me.  This year, he gave me an illustrated history and dvd documentary of my favorite band.  Since we've been married (and maybe before, I don't remember) I've made him his favorite dish, eggplant parmesan, for the occasion, so that's what I'll be doing tonight, lol.  The gatos will get a little dish of cream.  And speaking of my favorite band, that gem of a valentine in the upper righthand corner is something posted on instagram by a fellow Rush fan.  The guy pictured is the bassist, not the guitarist, but the whole thing is freakin' funny and I gave myself fits of laughter a few times over it yesterday.
  My Valentine notd was (and continues to be) Butter London Molly Coddled topped with Essie Pure Pearlfection.  Molly Coddled is one of my favorite Butters ever, but it chips fairly quickly.  Pure Pearlfection somehow creates longevity while giving off a subtle, pearly sheen.   
  Finally, new boots!  I seldom follow Glamour magazine fashion and beauty advice (in fact, I don't particularly like the magazine-- I'm just too lazy to cancel my subscription just yet).  In the new March issue, though, there's a spread on Rag & Bone Newbury boots and I decided I had to go find myself a knockoff pair.  So, I did, and I'm pretty excited to wear them.  It's another outside the box choice for me, as I like my boot heels stiletto, sky high, and decidedly less casual.

  Question time!  Feel free to answer as many or as few as you'd like.

  Valentine's Day dinner-- go out, stay in, or who cares?  As time and C's tastes have dictated, we stay in, and happily.  I used to yearn for a nice restaurant meal but there's seriously nothing romantic about sitting in a crowded place with overworked waitstaff at 9pm because that's the only time slot available.  I don't have to have experienced this to know it's true, lol.

  Who's your favorite band?  Okay, I cannot reasonably choose between Led Zeppelin and Rush.  It's just not going to happen.  I can tell you that exactly three things have stuck with me since age 14-- running, my propensity towards a bold lip, and my love of those two bands.

  Bought any new nail polish lately?  I have officially joined the Cult, lol.  I bought Kiss, the red satin finish polish from the new Cult Nails Passionate Dreams collection, the day before yesterday and it's en route as we speak.
 
  Flowers or chocolates?  Flowers, fo sho! (or better yet, Rush memorabilia, lol).

  Heels-- what's your ideal height?  I like to be up there, 3 & 1/2 inches or higher.  I used to be all Go High or Go Home but I've slowly incorporated flats into my collection.  These stack heel boots I just got are my first mid range heel.
