The Bow Belle

Yep, and that means a plastic bow! I need to get more of these, because they're so versatile.  Etsy has plenty of 'em, LOL. Yeah, I know rain was forecast last week and it never did rain, but today the clouds are low and the radar looks like a fruit salad, so that's a pretty good indication that it will indeed rain.  Indeed, severe weather is not out of the question this afternoon.  Guess who brought her Smart Doll to work because of it??? Peek-a-boo! Love, RagingMoon1987

Operative word is "was."  Up until yesterday afternoon we were supposed to have a gully-washer, and now it looks like we're only going to get wind.  I still wore my pool bow, though.  Mama got me a Frogg Toggs poncho for my birthday, and I was looking forward to using it!  The Disney Food Blog swears by Frogg Toggs , and since I'm hot-natured and don't like the classic raincoats, I was pretty pleased to get one of these ponchos.  I might get a chance to wear my poncho later next week though, as rain is again in the forecast. If any of y'all are dealing with Isaias or his aftermath, hang in there and know that I'm praying for y'all! Love, RagingMoon1987

Hinga-dinga-durgen, y'all!  Happy Leif Erikson Day!  I need to get a Viking-themed bow and wear it, as Daddy was convinced his side of the family had Norse blood.  But today is for the Sanrio crew. This one's got just about everybody, except for Bad Badz-Maru.  Kinda a shame that he was left out, particularly since Kuromi is present (she and Badz-Maru occupy the same cute/edgy aesthetic).  Oh well, Keroppi is there, and being the frog fan that's all that should matter, right? Love y'all, RagingMoon1987

I don't have any bows with flames on them, and that's too bad because there are days when they'd do very well.  I was, however, able to root out a Halloween bow...sort of. Today is the anniversary of several historic fires, all of which are believed to be connected.  On this night in 1871 Chicago burned, Peshtigo, Wisconsin burned, Port Huron, Michigan burned, and a large chunk of Michigan's inner Lower Peninsula burned.  The damage was horrendous, of course, and the death toll was even worse.  At least three hundred died in Chicago, over five hundred died in Michigan, and between one and two thousand died in and around Peshtigo.  Yep, one to two thousand, up there with other disasters like the Johnstown flood and the Okeechobee hurricane, and yet few have heard of the Peshtigo fire because good ol' Chicago burned the same night.  What all that has to do with Stephen King and IT I'll never know, but I managed to kill a little time. I'm not Stephen King'...

October 7th, known to me as the day after my birthday.  Usually this is the day I start trotting out the Halloween bows, like I...well, like I did! My birthday was pretty chill, just like I like it.  Mama got me some books and a Thai doll, and a case to carry my nail polish.  Oh, and we had a beautiful cake. Chocolate with buttercream frosting.  Doesn't get much better than that! Love, RagingMoon1987 

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...
