My hair stylist went on tour with her band and so I went to the salon and got a hair cut with someone new. As a result, my hair was cut much shorter and very different than usual. I was pretty ridiculously upset. However, as it is with these kind of things, after crying for two days straight I got used to my new haircut and started to embrace the new me. The cut reminds me of Audrey Hepburn's in Roman Holiday. Not that I am comparing myself to Audrey...that's absurd.
From Ben Hur 1925
I could stare at Erte pictures all day long. His art is so incredible. I particularly enjoy his costume designs. All of his work has this magical element that creates a different world for each piece. Even his costume designs create a world for the characters in the picture. When I was 13 I was given an Erte print for my room and I have been in love ever since. I especially enjoy watching the movies or seeing photos of the costumes based on his designs in action and comparing them to the drawings. Also, the 1925 silent movie version of Ben Hur is eye candy of the most elaborate kind. I highly recommend watching it if you get a chance.
About 9 years ago my T.V. broke. We didn't have cable and so we weren't in any rush to replace it. We still had our computer to watch movies on and were rather slow about getting a new one. We then came across XM radio and became addicted to the classic radio show channel. My mother had given me a set of classic mystery radio show tapes a few years early and once I was hooked I eagerly devoured each tape. I quickly found that I loved the Sam Spade and Phillip Marlowe episodes as well as the ghost stories and supernatural shows. They starred famous actors, many of them in their earliest performances. Today, Colton and I spend at least 3 hours of our at home time together listening to radio shows. Many I have been given for holiday gifts in sets but the others I download for free online from various places. My favorite site is http://www.radiolovers.com/ . They have tons of shows divided by category and they're all free. It's a good way to figure out which shows are your favorite or just listen to a good variety. Their are plenty of pod casts that feature different classic radio shows each week but I'm not one for delayed gratification. I prefer to pick my own! Try the site and enjoy!
I had long searched for the perfect swim suit until last year. Ror quite some time I simply felt that spandex was evil and not to be trusted. Then, everything changed. I found MyBabyJo.com. and all was well with the world. Well....maybe not that great but I had ended the great search for the perfect swimsuit. I purchased the black one piece in the second pic above but believe you me, I had a HARD time making a decision. I also found AMAZING suits at http://forluna.co.uk/ including some INCREDIBLE Esther Williams suits. It's always amazing to me how much of a difference it makes when something is made to make every woman look good and not just made to make one woman look good. These suits emphasize curves if you have them and make you look curvier if you don't. That, to me, is just plain magic! Now all I need is an incredible hotel pool to lounge beside! (hotel pools just feel more glamourous...because I'm a dork)
Because I'm in school every day from 8-4 and Colton works every day from 11p-7a we rarely get to see each other as much as we would like. By the time I make it home he is usually in bed asleep and I generally study a bit and then join him. Because of this Colton leaves little notes for me so that we can still communicate. I in turn leave him return notes taped to the steering wheel when I leave him the car in the morning before car pooling to school with my friend Kat or slip one under his pillow before I leave at 5:30 in the morning for clinicals while he is still asleep on his days off. 
Thank you to "Ms. Lucy" for sending me this great picture of her in her Ava Ear Warmers! I love to see all the different outfits people wear their knits with and how each person styles them in their own personal way! She looks incredible in this photo! Thanks again!
Another day another Ladies in AWS knits! I LOVE this photo! Doesn't she just look like she's up to no good? Perhaps sleuthing around the "old library" ? Thanks so much to "Ms. Camy" for snapping and sending this great picture of her in her Ava Ear Warmers!
