Beautiful

I got a really interesting question this past Saturday at my daughters Soccer game. I try not to dwell on the negative, when it comes to creating content for this blog. But the comment keeps nagging at me. The best way to get something out of your system is to talk about it. It was not a extremely major incident, but none the less, it stood out to me as odd.

So I am sitting down with my fellow soccer moms, and a lady (mother of a family friend) that I have not seen for a while recognized me before I saw her. So she starts to say hey... I almost didn't recognize you. Then she makes her hands go up and down as she looks at my hair and says "You added to it!"

I at first I froze... lol. I didn't quite understand what the hell she was talking about. But then I realized that she somehow thought that my hair was artifice and that I could just add to it to make it longer. I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt, and assume that she did not mean any harm. Ignorance often comes from just not being educated on certain matters. So I just turned to her and politely said "It's growing." And she then said "Ohhh....." as if that was an odd theory; and then went on her way... lol. So it was not a huge thing. I just needed to get it out of my system. Thank you for reading!

Another great idea for a bathroom, if you have a bath tub, is to use a drum stool next to the tub to put a book or a glass on. We have some lovely blue and white stools {and other colours too} in the shop at the moment which would do the job. I use one at home next to our bath and it is fabulous. I often have a pile of magazines on mine...nothing like reading some magazines in the bath at the end of a long day!!

The House of Dereon has a new pair of leggings on their site, called The Dutchess Legging. I think these are cute. But this has to be outfitted carefully - maybe with like a longer blouse. This could go from being hella cute - to just trashy if not worn correctly. What's your opinion?

Oh, and look at the beautiful afternoon tea my client had prepared for me when I arrived to install the furniture. So lovely!!

Well if you happened to have been within the vicinity of a certain university in Arlington, Texas last Friday, perhaps adding a couple gorgeous guys and an ultra-talented photographer to the mix couldn't hurt. We are talking about super hot guys rolling/playing in the mud here so I guess it's only natural someone had to cover it .These photographs (taken for blogmate Popwired) were shot on Friday by photographer Tracy Nanthavongsa at a University of Texas outdoors September event aptly titled Oozeball (basically a bunch of teams participating in various competitive match-ups, all taking place in a filthy, drippy/sticky mud setting)... Sounds oddly hot.
Perhaps even moreso when you've got a professional photographer scoping out some of the finer samplings of beautiful men competing on the field...

I blame my blogmate Kenneth for this all this... Apparently he couldn't resist posting up a couple shots featuring one of my favorite models (looking as hot as ever)... And from the looks of it, partaking in some shirtlessness festivities earlier this summer. A pox upon you Kenneth, for dangling the carrot ...
Incidentally Maxwell still does quite a bit of modeling work for European Abercombie-esque clothing line Geddes & Gilmore. His latest shots though unfortunately feature him from one direction. A photographic travesty if I've ever seen one... albeit still oddly ultra-sexy. Perhaps it's the missing belt ...

A woman in her mid-40s, stumbles from one awkward young hottie encounter to the next... all the while acclimating herself to her newly donned 'cougar-dom' status following her recent divorce. Sounds like an interesting premise. Execution-wise though Courteney Cox might just push this series to prime-time comedic gold.
I think I might have just found a new show worth tuning in for weekly. Granted this is only the pilot/first-episode, but the precedent being set so far for future hottie encounters shows a lot of potential. Plus if the writing for Cox's character keeps up I'll be sold . Cougar Town starring Courteney Cox and her random young bachelor du jour airs every Wednesday at 9:30 est on ABC.

Every once in a while my love for photography supersedes my fondness of beautiful men ... I think this stunning shot might be just one instance.
Not to insinuate the subject of this shot isn't gorgeous in his own right. From what little I see, his gaze looks pretty intense... (but naturally I'd have to see more to make a more accurate determination). Nevertheless, I love the detail in this photo... dripping sweat and all . I'd love to know who's responsible for my current Iphone wallpaper, but for the time being I'll simply deem it Just Beautiful...

I'd imagine this set might make a fine addition to the torrent of sexy 'hunks' calendars slated to vie for the spotlight in time for next year.
Btw, I take back what I said about January. Clearly June stands out as the hottest month out of them all (subjectively speaking of course). Geminis rock .
