Ahhh, this is great. Love the big hair. Very beautiful. I am getting a bit behind on my DS106 but I promise a High School post soon.

I used to LOVE wearing bolo ties. I had one that was a little six shooter on a chain that could be removed from its holster. Tease my hair up big and we’re good to go.

I should mention that I have quite an extensive collection of bolo ties just by virtue of growing up in Arizona. I now own my grandpa’s and dad’s bolo ties in addition to my own.

@NoiseProfessor: you made me LOL! I loved The Alarm by the way. And somewhere I have a Joshua Tree bolo tie bought as a souvenir from a U2 concert…

You have such a great eye for detail. I bought a guy’s tuxedo shirt from a thrift store and it needed me to wear something at the collar line. I owned a bow-tie but I thought I’d take inspiration from clothes the girls wore in John Hughes’ movies of the day, so I bought that pin to wear in place of a tie.

I think you would call it a rhinestone / beaded dangle pin (or brooch) and it would fall under the costume jewelry category since the dangling teardrop pearls are plastic and the rhinestones going across the horizontal part of the pin are not real diamonds (unlike Molly Ringwald’s character Claire’s earrings in The Breakfast Club).

Big hair and big glasses, but I’m fixated on and loving whatever is going on with your collar there. Is it like a piece of collar closure jewelry? Does it have a name? Now I have to search around and see if I still have my collection of bolo ties – my neck feels naked, and besides, I want to look like I’m in The Alarm.

Cheryl,
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Michael hasn’t answered my e-mails (yet–I imagine the work week will bring word via carrier pigeon), so I was starting to feel like an orphan in this class. Thanks for reaching out; I really appreciate it.

I love seeing you and your Mom. My Mom is 85 and my husband and I just spent a week with her on an island up in the Georgia Straits off Vancouver Island. She’s more mobile than your Mom, but they look like they have equal degrees of spunk.

Hey! Big hair, small hair…fabulosity is all about the smile!

Thanks Giulia. I think more fabulous, mostly because I’ve become better over time, like some of that wine we’ve been sipping!

Hummingbird Crow often takes me to Goosebump city.
Selfishly, I am so glad you are back home again after your summer journey because I get to see more awesome #ds106 art & writings from you. (And share some #SonambulatorySips on the twitter)
Thanks also for taking us here. I can relate to the HS big hair & big glasses and like your other friends, I agree: you are absolutely still (or more!) fabulous.

Aw, Alan, thank you. That means a lot. A lot. I’m aching to go look at the Alan artifacts and read your blog posts about your mom. But that and my cookie love will have to wait for the weekend.

Can’t wait to go read your post, too Lou.

Comment on Introducing the York Biscuit by cherylcolan

It really is delicious. Those strawberries were crazily juicy, perfectly ripe. I don’t think we ever get fully ripened strawberries in Phoenix unless we somehow keep the birds away while growing them ourselves.

How nice! Sounds like a fun experience too! This is kind of ironic, because my aunt owns (and I work at) a tearoom here in Fredericksburg, and one of the customers was just asking me today what the difference was between devonshire cream and clotted cream. This York Biscuit looks delicious, by the way.

I was sucked right into that picture. I think it was because the curves of the pot and the plant are going in opposite directions, yet together the swirls harmonized. Genius.
