Confession #2: My biggest insecurity is my neck

{This is from unravelling susanna's photostream on flickr.  beautiful isn't it?}

I promised I would keep up this confessinal and have decided to try to do it for 52 weeks straight.

I have a super long neck.  Like really long.  And sometimes I like having it.  It is especially conenient for head on shoulder sessions.  But sometimes I don't like having it.  Sometimes I wish my neck were just like everyone else's.

But maybe I just need to remind myself that having a long neck is great for ballet {at least, that is what my ballet teacher would say all the time}.

What makes you self-conscience?

Cheers!

ps I used to want to be a rockette but I am too tall {their height limit I think is 5'9'' and I am probably 6 feet.}

Happy Birthday, Katherine Hepburn

She'd be 102 {died at age 96}!

She was esquisite in "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" which she filmed when she was older.  My first Hepburn film was "African Queen".

What was your first Katherine Hepburn movie?


Cheers!

Confession #1: I love harmonicas and any other good pickin' fun

{This is from TJ Scott on Flickr}

Reading through my blog, I noticed something: there is only a part of myself written up on here.  There are other parts of me that really make me...me.  So I thought of something.  As a new practice with myself in life, I have decided to notice things about myself and write them down.  So each week I will share something new about myself on this blog that none of you guys know about me.  Some of these should come as a surprise.


This week?
I love harmonias.  In fact, it is probably my favorite instument.  It's not the saxophone, as I have led most of you to believe because a) that is the instrument I play and b) it's jazz!  The reason the saxophone is not as cool as the harmonica is because you can't just stick it in your pocket and rip it out when you feel like jammin out.  You can do that with a harmonica.

Jazz is great and I LOVE to dance to it, but really, the back porch rhythms is my heart.  I can drive to the for longs period of time.  Just through in an accordian, a banjo, and bass, and a few washboards and you can steal my heart {kidding.}

You all know that I love Bob Dylan {who doesn't?}.  Why?  Because of his harmonica.

I can't help it I'm a sucker for those things.

ps: I want your confession as well.  It can be anything.  Interesting.  Uninteresting.  Funny.  Sad.  It doesn't matter.

Make Up, We Make Things Up

{This is by Dawn{rise} Lewis on flickr}

May be making a trip to Sephora this weekend and I want some advice.  I am a usual MAKE UP FOREVER kind of gal, but I am trying to stay on budget.

Here's the question:
What makeup do you buy at Sephora that you like but won't break your budget?
What about just regular Sephora brand stuff?  I use their nailpolish but that is it.
What drug store products would you NEVER go without?

Thanks so much!  Can't wait to hear the responses!


Cheers!

Cause Thunder Comes After...LIGHTNING! Ca-chow!

yeah, that's from Cars.

{originally here}

The power went out.  Which was really random because there wasn't a huge thunderstorm, just really rainy.  It makes me want to crawl back in bed and watch Hitchcock all day long.  But I can't {see previous post}

infinite x's and o's
