I’m much more of a book person than I am a movie person; I don’t go anywhere without a book and there are times when I read a book a week. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love movies, they’re just not as integrated into my day-to-day. There are definitely certain movies that stand out in my memory and interrupt my thoughts now and then. Some of them are among the greats — Casablanca, Gone With the Wind for instance… others are the blockbusters (think Lord of the Rings). But others that fall way short of that mark,have something — some moment, some scene, some thought — that struck home and has become part of MY story. These include Moonlighting (“snap out of it!”), Defending Your Life (Shirley Maclaine hosting the Past Lives Pavilion; being able to eat whatever you want and never gain weight!), The Princess Bride (Inconceivable!), and Play Misty for Me (I’m sorry, but Clint Eastwood was just too gorgeous in it lol). Like so much else, these movies drift through the deep waters of memory, rising to the surface suddenly by a stray current created by a random catalyst. In this case, the catalyst was the moody background of this windlight. It made me think of mist… and well, mist either always make me think of Brigadoon (another B or C movie favorite, and one I can sing to!) and/or Play Misty for Me… Of course now I’ve got the music from Brigadoon running through my head, because I’m definitely not feeling “as helpless as a kitten up a tree” in this dress… Just be thankful you can’t hear me sing! 😉
- Dress: WellMade – Jamille Dress. On a scale of 1 to 10 for sexy, this dress is definitely a 10. It has all kinds of teasing little features — the satiny halter top that rises from the skirt front leaving the sides & back bared… the laces on either side of the skirt front… the very short cut of that skirt… But part of what makes it a 10 in my book is that it exudes sex while maintaining class & style… it never crosses that line over into what I’ll call “slut wear”. Let’s face it: slut wear is very prevalent & definitely has its place here on the grid at least, but I generally prefer those styles that skirt the line without crossing it, keeping a bit of mystery to add to the allure. Includes a 25-color HUD with separate settings for the top, skirt, skirt front, laces, & bow at neck so you can go as colorful or monotone as you like.
