Alien Tea Shoppe

Like just about everyone out there, I have a Facebook account.  One thing I use my account for is to peruse a group dedicated to the history of my town.  It's fascinating.  Tonight, I wondered if there was a page like that for the town where my parents grew up.  I found one and was not disappointed. I'm looking through the groups photo albums and after ten pages I see something familiar.  Very familiar in fact because it is my family's home; the one where my mother and aunt grew up and I spent most of my childhood there visiting my grandmother.  Actually it wasn't even the house, just the greenhouse.  I exclaimed, out loud, "Holy crap it's me!", which is just easier to say than "Holy crap that is the greenhouse in the yard of the house where my mother grew up!"  It became even stranger because some commenter's were talking about my family. 228 East Kingston Str, Laurel, Mississippi This house was originally white, though the very top...

Dresses.  I don't wear them but I would if one of these came in my size.  I made a Polyvore set tonight of all of the dresses on there that I was simply smitten with.  Though two years ago I fell in love with two certain dresses by Lebonese designer Krikor Jabotian.  I haven't been able to stop thinking about them or how fabulous they are, and they are wedding dresses from him 2012 collection! Is this not THE most awesome, most stunning dress you have ever seen in your life?  If you've been reading you know my love for the colour copper.  And if you couldn't tell, I am also quite partial to the unusual.  I love the materal, the forced waterfall fold across the hip and front and the slight split.  There's absolutely nothing I don't love about this dress! This dress, I would rank second.  I love it as is, but if I were going to wear it, which of course I would want to, then that under skirt would need to be the same length ...

Polyvore .  It's basically a site that allows you to create fashion collages.  I signed up back in 2011, and created most of my fashion sets then.  A few I created in these past few days.  I would still wear everything I created.  Besides fashion that I long to wear, there are three sets showing my actual fashion.  The first set is my teen years, the second is 2011, and the third is current. So, let's look as some fashion, yeah! Yes,  I was that teen. To be honest, this style lasted from the age of thirteen to twenty four or twenty five (1993 - 2004/05).  I wore other things, but these were my staples. Flare or Wide leg jeans (not super wide!) Military issue combat boots (my father's) I could have thrown in black high top converse as well (both pairs courtesy of the Sal) Messenger bags Large shades Lots and lots and lots of black screen print T-Shirts. Black cuff bracelets.  Lots of black and lots of kitchy jewelry. 2...
