OMG! I did this lo so many months ago, that Ive lost the credits and what I wrote, but I remember the premise and what I was thinking doing the losooooo. I saw this picture, felt an immediate kinship in the expression, (not the beauty of the model!) and away I went into a fantasy from a different era. I had SO MUCH FUN! (Hey, notice! Look closely in the top, left corner. Theres an ever so naughty little clip of a hand pulling suggestively at her delicate under things! LOL!)
OK! OK! I WAS a flirt! And yes, I took great delight in it! My father used to teasingly call me Scarlet, affecting a southern accent. (The infamous Scarlet of Gone With The Wind.) I remember the summer before I went to high school, he asked me about the bus I was supposed to take. I grinned at him in mock horror, bluntly stating that I had no intention of arriving at the school in that mundane vehicle. When he, still laughing, asked me how I proposed to get to school, I ever so confidently told him tht I would find a boy to take me! He roared! Now, lest you think I was fast and fee morally, I wasntI was just a big flirt and very self-confident! I look back and wonder where all that self-assurance wentnot egotistical, just very sure of myself. My parents, primarily my father, instilled in all of us the belief that we could do anything with which we set our minds and I believed him! Wouldnt it be wonderful if all parents could do the same for their children? I hope I did with Stephanie and Jocelyn. I might add here, that he, coupled with my mother, also heavily seasoned this with a healthy dose of morality! (whew!) They also, literally pounded into us that we were no worse nor better than the next person. What a legacy he left, so rich and full that I couldnt begin to expound on it.
I did sooooo much extracting, I thought I was going to go blind as I got all the accessories off the net. I wanted her all bejeweled and beguiling (grin), so I literally went shopping for my little tease on the web, at all the finest boutiques! LOLfor pictureserrrr..not pieces! I wanted her to look like the kind of girl who could attract a lot of attention after a show! So.both rings, both bracelets, her earrings (whew, were they a pain!), her headband (a belt, I think), and her pearls (supa dupa pain!) were purchased for the minx at the cost of?....nada!
So, todays lesson (hahahaha!) is to let go a little and bring to the forefront your inner sense of FUN!
