Music Mondays - Shut Up And Dance

      Another more modern song, which my darling child refers to as a "song from her childhood", meanwhile she is only 14. For me this is just a fun song, and I can be bossy too like the "girl" in the song.

      I have been known to dance around while doing mundane things like cleaning the kitchen, or folding laundry. There is just something about dancing that makes me smile. I will dance even though I have two left feet and no actual rhythm. There is nothing wrong with doing something that makes you happy everyday... I mean as long at it is legal and stuff!

Dieting Can Be Murder

“Your Honor my client pleads not guilty by reason of temporary insanity”, the public defender stated to the Judge. This was his big chance, a chance to make a name for himself by defending the accused in the trial of a lifetime. You see in this case the defendant is accused of viciously murdering her male companion. It all started on a regular Thursday evening, the accused, we will call her Phire, was busy preparing a salad for dinner. Something light and healthy, since they were both trying to get ready for a tropical beach vacation. In walked the deceased, we will call him Duncan*, chowing down on a burger. Now Phire had been sticking to their diet religiously, giving up all the things she loved, especially chocolate. Seeing Duncan eating that burger drove Phire into a rage, you could say the Phire became an inferno. Before she knew what was happening she drove the knife she was using to chop vegetables straight into Duncan’s heart.

After realizing what she has done Phire panicked, she needed to do something fast! She needed to get him out of the house and hidden.

Using all her might, Phire dragged the still warm body of Duncan out of the kitchen and into the shed in the back garden. She leaned him up in the corner of the small shed and hid his body beneath bags of fertilizer. She needed time to come up with a plan to get rid of the body...but that was not to be. So today she sits in the courtroom hoping that jury of her peers understand that dieting can be murder.

Music Monday - Total Eclipse of the Heart

      I am sure when I said something Halloween related this song is not what popped into your mind first. You were most likely  thinking something along the lines of Thriller, Monster Mash, or quite possibly something from Rocky Horror Picture Show, and all would have been great choices if I hadn't read something recently. You see I learned that the song was originally written to me in a musical Nosferatu, and was originally titled "Vampires in Love". So you see in a round about way it's a perfect Halloween song. Now I am sure you want to see the photo so here it is!



      I took a lot of elements from the video for this weeks photo/song combo. In fact this is the song that really got me started on this journey. I had been planning to pay homage to this song for a while and after watching the video way too many times the idea finally clicked. Now before I ramble on too much I will show you the "look" photo and be on my merry way.

Music Mondays - Walk Me Home

      This Monday I have a little P!nk for you. I picked the song because it has one of my favorite lines "I can't be alone with all that's on my mind", because lately that is how I have felt. Being in a bit of a bad place health wise can do that to you. However I am not here to talk about that. As with most of the posts I have done thus far I took some inspiration from the video. What can I say I am a sucker for a red dress.

      It's fun to see what I have that can work for a photo, and what I may need to shop for. I use almost any excuse to shop. Since there really wasn't a man in the video I went rogue here and tried to figure out what I gentleman would be wearing. I think he looks pretty spiffy. I am going to stop there for today. Next week will be a surprise since it is Halloween Week and I want something fitting.

      Almost forgot about the "look" photo.

I Am Crazy, So What?

      They say to find someone who loves you for you. Well finding someone who enjoys your own brand of crazy can some times me hard. That why when you do you should cling onto them like some deranged spider monkey. Well maybe not, because that type of action may scare them off, though if that is your brand of crazy and they are okay with it then do it up!

            Having someone who is willing to have a growling contest with you for the heck of it is fun too. I can neither confirm nor deny that I have done this in the past. I have my quirks, but don't we all? I am babbling so I will stop here.

Music Mondays - Play That Song

     This week we are popping back a more current song choice, Play That Song by Train. I have always been in awe of anyone who could play a musical instrument. I have zero talent in that department, but seem to be drawn to people who can. We all have our quirks right?



    This post makes me want to have one of my favorite people play some music for me. Hopefully they know who they are. Anyway, I figured I would do something brighter since last week was a little dark, in more ways than one! And since I figured adding a picture of the "looks" was a good idea here are this weeks.


     I will be back again next week with another song, and as always, if you have a song suggestion I am all ears.

Music Mondays - 3 AM

      We are visiting the 90's again this Monday with a little Matchbox 20. There will probably be a lot of 90's tunes during this fun little exercise because that was when I was a teenager so there are a lot of memories attached to some of these songs. There is no special connection to this one though, I just like it.

      It may be hard to see, but the clock on the wall is in fact stuck at 3 AM. As you can also see there is are a few bits of the lyrics I chose to focus on. Again you can always head over to Youtube to check out the actual video, which was not much of a source of inspiration this week. 

      I just wanted to let you have an extra picture of my in something a little sexy. My vanity is showing today and that's okay. Hope you have a great week and see you again next Monday with another song!

Music Mondays - Don't Speak

      I am going to make this weeks post short and sweet. Today's post is brought to you by No Doubt, the soundtrack of my early dating years. 

      As before I took some creative liberties, as no one But Gwen Stefani, can be Gwen Stefani. As always I took more photos than needed and couldn't decide which to use so here is another.

      I just loved the texture effect the window had on the photo. Oh if you haven't figured it out, the song inspiration for this week was Don't Speak by No Doubt. It had just the right amount of angst for a naive girl first venturing out into the dating world.

Music Mondays - Bed of Roses

      I had hoped to start this last Monday, but then Mother Nature decided to have a say in where I was. I guess that is the price you have to pay to live where the sun shines and the ocean is close. For the past few months I have been working on taking pictures inspired by songs and their music videos. For my first post I have gone with Bed of Roses by Bon Jovi.

      As you can see he is laying me down in a bed of roses. A little on the nose sure, but it was fun to create a scene based on lyrics. His look is loosely based on the look of lead singer of Bon Jovi in the music video. If you have a song suggestion feel free to let me know. I do love a challenge!

Sun Shining

      On of the best things about living in the south for me is the sunshine, even if we do have a love hate relationship. I love the sun, however my skin and the sun don't get along. I am either super pale, or red as Rudolph's nose. Luckily in my digital life that is not an issue.

      As you can see here I have combined my two favorite things, the sun and yellow. is it really any wonder that yellow is my favorite color? I mean who didn't use yellow at least once in their lives to color the sun? I was going to be a little wordier, but I have a ride to catch for some fun in the not sun ;)

That Couple

     Here in the States it was Memorial Day weekend this past weekend. You know the day we honor those who, have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, by having parades and cook outs. It inspired me to do a little photo shoot. There is at least one couple in every neighborhood who are so into themselves as a couple that they wear matching outfits and basically ignore anyone else around them. They are usually a younger couple, but the age can range. Here is an example of such a couple.

      As you can see by the way they stare at one another they are soooo in love. They are even ignoring their own child who is sucking on a lemon and near meltdown mode. I myself have never been one of those couple, unless maybe a couples costume at Halloween counts? 

      At least they are a cute couple if I do say so myself. It doesn't hurt that the matchingness was yellow my favorite color. Onto the credits which are stupid long today.

Rubies and Cat's Eye

      Today I am bringing you a dress that I picked up at the Fantasy Faire, which has sadly faded back into the mists. You see I chose this dress because the colors reminded me of Kashmiri rubies and Cat's Eye. As with some of my purchases there is a personal connection to these two pretties. I won't bore you with the details today.



      As much as I would love to go into detail about every little thing, I am feeling a bit under the weather so you get a picture heave post with few words. Here is a closer look at the jewelry and pretty things.
