Precious Times

Today is my son's 5th Birthday Party.
There will be lots of Balloons...


Lots of boys teasing the girls...
The boys chasing the girls and yelling
"I don't like girls"!!!




There will lots of Batman cake
from Let Them Eat Cake.
It will be oh so YUMMY.




There will be kids and friends and family...



It will be a huge celebration for our little guy.
He will be played out, exhausted and
oh so satisfied.





It will finally be over. It's all he has talked about
for three weeks.
I can't wait to see his huge smile
when he comes over to us
with a huge kiss to
thank us for his party, like he normally does.

at last year's birthday party.
The party continues...
life goes on...
These are Precious Times.

Leaving the Mask at the Door



You know, I started this blogging deal to show the world my wares from my vintage clothing website. But, blogging has taken on a life of it's own lately. I am at the point where I don't care if a sell a stitch of clothing. It's not about me anymore. Thank God. I have been touched in on so many levels by all the amazing fierce warriors in blogland that have left their masks at the door . I had to share a few of my favs that really left a lasting impression.

Sex Ed @"Putting the Porn back into Decorno" that is actually a decorating blog. Freaking hillarious and oh so wrong on so many levels.


Seriously scandalous at the Scandalous Housewives blog "I'll have what she's having". She is on the highway to hell. With a HUGE smile. She cracks me up and says what I've been thinking sometimes. Especially about her boring Mommy parties and Cougie Water (vino).

OK, my only true unveil was my post "Angels with Wings". I feel like such a coward. But, if I was crying while I wrote it. Does that count?



Ok, it's not all fun and games. I found this amazingly open, honest and heartfelt blog by mistake called I am an addict. Ya... I can see you shaking your head. Anyway, really I was looking for a fashion blog called Because I'm Addicted. Well, I was happily surprised and taken a back by this candid blog about his addiction. His post "My Mess". But, it's dated 2005. Where is he?



There are no words to describe this. Thumping my Melon: The Last Thump.



If there was a post that really made in impression on you or where you bared your soul, please share. I would love to hear about it and will not judge.

Satisfying Saturday with Bruno Dayan's Batwoman












I am working on a BATMAN 5th birthday party for my little man next week. So, when I came across those outrageously racy photos from Bruno Dayan with the batman mask, I just had to share. Oh la la... Shout out, first found Bruno from Frou Frou Fashionista.
The first video is the making of a huge Lego Batman cake. My son adores watching this, over and over. It is safe for kids. When I told him it's a cake for 400, he said "Mom, I can eat that up." Dang, I hope he isn't too disappointed when he sees our round custom cake for 30.
Also, I was just searching for cool Batman videos with my little guy and unfortunately came across the above video that is R rated. He learned a few new words I wasn't looking for. Bad mommy. But, it is worth a peek for a little adult humor. But, if you caught Dr. Phil's recent show on poor gaming addicts you might feel sorry for Batman. Maybe batwoman can help get his mind of of gaming?

Twisted Thursday~Wild and Sexy Redhead Photos by Bruno Dayan










Photography mind blow for the day on a Twisted Thursday. I always take a peek at Frou Frou Fashionista's Lingerie Blog for a little daily inspiration. I'm a momma, but I'm still a woman. Right? Today I was blown away by their post that included Bruno Dayan's work. I had to go investigate myself. Racy pics to say the least. You have probably already seen his work for Chantel Thomass, Loreal, YSL, and Louis Vuitton and may not have know who was behind the camera. At least I didn't. Anyway, I just had to share. I hope you enjoy my pretties. Is anyone else thinking of becoming a redhead too after viewing these? Oh... it's a Twisted Thursday...

What to Wear to an American Idol Audition?

What to wear to American Idol? This is the question for sweet 16 Jasmine Booher. She is an amazingly talented singer, that includes opera. She is also a wonderful dancer and entertainer. She is hip, cool, sweet and classy. She is also fortunate to be very tall with great long legs. She has this amazing opportunity. Once she makes it big, she says I'll be in charge of wardrobe. Ha.. Ha.. We will see. I'm crossing my fingers for her! So, I've been posting about fierce singers that have amazing style. Posts on Gwen, Lady Gaga and The Blonds. Now you know the reason for my research. So, I would LOVE to hear your opinion of WHAT TO WEAR to American Idol.

#1 Prom: Our gorgeous client, Jasmine, in a jazzy headband and black prom dress. Too prom?




#2. Chanel: Black and White striped Moschino 80's Inspired Dress with headband above and black booties/boots. A young and hip Chanel look? Dress found at my website.


#3. Flapper: Flapper inspired BCBG dress with black feathers and sequins. The picture doesn't do the dress justice and Jasmine would fill it out nicely. This would be cute with Jasmine's black and white 40's inspired headband from picture #1. Too much??? Dress found on my website.

#4. 80's Rock: Black flirty layered high waisted skirt, fun belt, black fedora hat and tight 80's spandex top. All items found on e-bay from Mama Stone Vintage. Cute 80's inspired outfit with a bit of rock in roll.




#5. Fake a Smile: Classy and dressy BCBG blue dress with L.A.M.B. shoes. Love the shoes and necklace and the gorgeous powder blue! Too sophisticated?

#6. Rock n' Roll: Basic black flirty layered skirt at $25 with basic $30 white top. The Lanvin necklace really is a killer. But, I found a similar type of necklace to Loehmann's for $25. I have a similar type belt on my website.




Rock 'N Roll

#7. Zepplin Rock n Roll. It's Betsey Johnson meets punk. Cute?





Rock 'N' Roll
Rock 'N' Roll by MaeGal [StartsCircleMosaicIdea!] featuring Converse shoes

#8. He Loves Me Not: Gotta love the Pat Benatar look. I'm not feeling the dirty converse shoes though. Other than that, here's the token black leather looking pants. Interesting?

What do you think is best for our star to
wear to hit the big time?

Red Geraniums in Paris~ Inspiration to Bring Paris to My Little Garden








Oh, I am inspired to fill my garden with lots more red geraniums. LOVE them. Even though they are high maintance. When they bloom at 3" or more blooms I feel like all is well in the world. Or, at least in my little garden. So, almost fell off my chair when I came across Miss FiFi Flowers blog and saw the last photo. Hello... eye candy. I want to be there!!! I have yet to experience Paris. This is so wrong... I must play the lottery and win big so I can take my fam to Paris!! Until then, I will work on creating my own little Parisian inspired palace in the OC.
