Tra La La through Tuesday

BAD JUDGEMENT!?!?!?!?

"I made a mistake of using bad judgment and making bad decisions. Those things just can’t happen. Dogfighting is a terrible thing, and I do reject it.” Thus sayeth Michael Vick.

Bad judgement is wearing panty hose with sandles.
Bad judgement is thinking that you can park your 16 passenger van in a spot that would only fit a Mini Cooper.
Bad judgement is cooking that chicken that has been in the 'frig for 2 weeks.

But let us pause and thank God that Mr. Vick "do reject it." I feel much better for his passionate assurance of that.

Color my Aura RED!

Your Aura is Red

You have a high level of emotion. This can mean passion, but it can also mean rage. Usually, you don't take these emotions out on others. You just use them as motivation - and it works! The purpose of your life: embracing all the wonders of the life, lots of travels, and tons of adventures Famous reds include: Madonna, Marilyn Monroe, Jennifer Lopez Careers for you to try: Dancer, Boxer, Surgeon

What Color Is Your Aura?

Boxer - now there's a profession I hadn't thought of before

Holy beginning of the week!

Become a charter member of BUTTS

I am forming a new organization: BUTTS (Babes United to Tout Shoes). I have been a BUTTS for many years now and want to give you the opportunity to be a BUTTS too.

One of our missions will be to stop the abuse against shoes. You know what I am talking about: shoving your size 12 EEEE shoe into an 8 narrow, refusing to polish your shoes, wearing shoes that wish they had never been made because they are so ugly (you know who you are), etc.

One of the cruelest things I have seen in many a shoe watching day is the BMW commercial where the woman saws off the heel of her Prada pump so she can drive the car unencumbered by said heel. HELLO?!?! They make shoes specifically for driving (hence the name "Driving Moccasin"). Why in the name of all that is Holy would you deface a Prada Pump in that manner?

We must move quickly against BMW before the unwashed masses think that this is appropriate behaviour toward shoes.

Join me this Saturday at your nearest BMW dealer. Make signs that say catchy slogans such as "Drive a Beamer? You're a wiener!" and the like.

Do not let this monstrosity against shoes continue. They are counting on us.

How appropriate

You're Catch-22!

by Joseph Heller

Incredibly witty and funny, you have a taste for irony in all that you
see. It seems that life has put you in perpetually untenable situations, and your sense
of humor is all that gets you through them. These experiences have also made you an
ardent pacifist, though you present your message with tongue sewn into cheek. You
could coin a phrase that replaces the word "paradox" for millions of
people.

Barbara Ann
I think it is supposed to be: Went to a dance looking for romance, saw Barbara Ann and I thought I would take a chance.

What I sing: Went to a dance looking for romance, saw Barbara Ann and I thought I wet my pants.

Son of a Preacher Man
What they are:The only boy that could ever reach me was the son of a preacher man.

What I sing: The only boy who could ever teach me was the son of a pizza man.

Livin' La Vida
What they are: Her lips are devil red.
What I sing: Her lips are deviled eggs.

Just exposing you to more of my musical stylings

Unfortunate Sharpie Girl Engaged

Yep, it is true: Unfortunate Sharpie Girl is getting hitched. She does not have an engagement ring because they are going to get each other's names tattooed on their ring fingers. She did tell me that she wants the wedding to be really "classy." I have no idea what that means but I am hoping that it means that she will wear undergarments. No guarantee there.

She has assured me that I will be invited. It is to be an afternoon wedding so a tea length frock with appropriate hat will be in order. Did I mention that the reception is at Apehangers? Yes, They are having a pig roast at Apehangers following the nuptials. I suppose I will have to remove my gloves to eat at the reception.

I can't wait to meet her parents

I LOVE THESE SHOES

It seemed to work for Erin - just thought I would throw it out there.

If you have a serious need to spend this much I wear a size 8.

Dance through Monday

You probably have all seen this a bajillion times. I don't care - it fascinates me every time.

New Obsession

This dress (bottom left view) out of this fabric. You can see the pattern better if you click on it to enlarge it.



The fabric is wool. After looking around at the available options to wear ths fall, I will be making most of my clothes this year. I am taking a class on how to get the correct fit etc of everything next month so I can make everything to fit me.

This fall's wardrobe will be mostly plums etc. That is, if I can find the fabric I have already in my pea pickin' brain. With the internet I don't even have to go out of my house to shop for it. Too bad that I have to work to support my sewing habit.
