The Bow Belle

I'm thirty-nine today!  One more year and I'll hit the big four-oh, but I've still got a year for that.  I chose a particularly sparkly bow for today. My nails are painted in Holo Taco's "Birthday Brat."  Did these on the evening of the 3rd.  It went on okay and dried quickly, but since it's got a ton of flakies it dries a little lumpy.  A good top coat smoothed it out. Readers of my doll blog know of old that I get tired of the overuse of pink for doll clothes, but I've grown to like it for October's alternate birthstone.  Tourmaline can come in just about any color, but pink is the color I think of when I picture it in my head.  Besides, it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and people are still freaking out over the passing of Dolly Parton.  Seriously, after Miss Dolly died the nail polish subreddits were crawling with manicures of pink, red, or both as a tribute to the singer, who did indeed wear pink and/or red on her nails.  But trut...

I tell y'all what, I prefer this weather to what we had in August!  It's cool and it's been rainy, and since it's still a mite wet outside I trotted out a pool bow. Granted it's not raining today.  Yesterday it came in sheets, but today it's cloudy and cool, just the way I like it. Love and sprinkles, RagingMoon1987

I love plaid, and this bow is a brand new one.  Huzzah! It's also Peanuts Day, but I wanted to show off my new bow.  Etsy shop is LansberryBoutique , up in New Joisey. It is POURING today, LOL! Love, RagingMoon1987

Today is a number of minor holidays that I could get behind (Bring Your Bible to School Day, Homemade Cookies Day, International Raccoon Appreciation Day), but I have nothing for any of those...yeah, I do.  I have my John 3:16 bow, but I couldn't find it so I dug deep. Ah, October.  I love September and October so freaking much!  There's birthdays and Labor Day and Columbus Day and Halloween.  A lot to look forward to.  Oh, and cake!  I love cake! Happy first day of October, RagingMoon1987

I've got the button!  Several of 'em! One of my favorites, though it's difficult to put in because it's a left-hand bow.  I'm strongly right-handed, and this blasted spinal problem I have has effed up my left hand badly.  Still no word from the doctor, by the way, and it's been a week since that MRI.  Patience is a virtue.  Patience is for wimps . Love, RagingMoon1987

Ahhhhh, this time last week I was (not) looking forward to a trip to Cape Girardeau with Uncle Man-Child.  Today I'm home...well, at work, but still where I need to be.  Random intro, random day, random bow. This bow doesn't have unicorns on it, but for some reason I look at it and think of unicorns.  Must be the colors.  Folks tend to visualize unicorns as being pastel or other unnatural colors, and...well, it makes sense.  Magical creatures can be that way. I still wonder, though:  does unicorn crap look like regular horse crap?  Unicorn pee went into car paint (and nail polish) and made it gorgeous , so I s'pose unicorn road apples are something different too.
