Miss Eloise's School of Dance

When Leah ( Creative Everyday ) picked " Body " for our January challenge one of the first things that came to mind was the body of a ballerina. As a kid I tried ballet lessons-As soon as we were up on our toes, and man did that hurt, I quit ! Plus my body was incredibly inflexible- Nothing has changed there ( sigh ). I do love to watch dancers- all kinds of dancers, from ballet to hip-hop and everything inbetween.
BTY- My empathetic mom let me quit ballet lessons without making me feel like a looser. Thanks, mom !

BODY INK BOY WITH PRETTY GIRLS WEARING SUNGLASSES

When I found this guy I just had to have him !

Does anyone have a tatoo ?

I'm wanting one, but the idea of pain disturbs me-

Also, what will my tat look like when I'm 100 years old....O.K. let's say , when I'm 89 ( LOL )

Girls Wearing Sunglasses

Wearing very cool sunglasses has definite advantages : Think about Jackie O.

Mine are perscription because of being very nearsighted- Anyone else a BIG fan of sunglasses ? Why ?

New Year's Resolution

This year my goal is a * New Attitude * re. how we grow older w/ grace and gratitude.

I'm facing another possible ( ? ) Mose surgery on my face. Thank the miracles of modern medicine f/ discovering a way to take out the cancer, fill in the empty hole w/ healthy tissue, sew it all up- tight, and in a few weeks time all you have is a small( ish ) scar. I've had 2 surgeries- one on my upper lip and another on my nose.

Project Runway/ " The Body " for Creative Everyday- January 2010

Project Runway is one of my favorite t.v. reality shows. For years I sewed clothes for myself and our two daughters. I know how difficult it is for the designers to meet complicated, original challenges. The creations they sew are *Amazing * .

Re. The Sunday Newspaper Funnies/ For the Creative Everyday Challenge

When I was a kid the Sunday newspaper Funnies were one of the highlights of my week. I loved comics in general.

Archie comic books were among my favorites. Archie had two girl friends : Betty was just too ' good ', whereas Veronica had moxy and intense self-confidence . Another part of Veronica's personality was she could be a Mean Girl -and we all know how boys go through a mean girl phase ( LOL ) . Also- she was the pretty one :)

Re The MOMA

The MoMA, in New York City, is my #1. favorite museum. I'm carrying a white shoulder bag -so-it must be Summer time. I wish women could carry white shoulder bags all year long : Who told me I couldn't ?
