The Bow Belle

Another crap shoot, another random bow.  I picked my white lace bow today. Or is that more ecru?  Does it matter, LOL?  I griped to Mama this morning that this bow utilizes a French clip, and French clips are usually ridiculously uncomfortable.  They poke my head, pull my hair and are hard to place.  But so far this one has been very comfortable.  Etsy shop is VeryShine .

Don't worry, I'm not going to start rambling about music again (Mods and Rockers and all that).  It's International Body Piercing Day! Actually, now that I think of it none of my piercings bled...take that back.  My lower lip did, but only because I sucked on it.  Don't do that to a fresh lip piercing, kids.  It's really dumb.  Anyway, my father was uber-conservative about the way my sister and I looked, and he was 100% against body piercings, even to the point of having more than one piercing in our ears.  After he died, though...oh, Mama lifted that ban in a heartbeat.  Imagine my shock when my sister came traipsing into my college dorm room sporting both a nose piercing AND a navel piercing!  Daddy would've had a stroke, LOL.  Both Mama and Sister admitted that getting both done at the same time was a huge mistake; one piercing tends to send the body into a type of shock due to...well, due to tissue damage and pain.  The body doesn't ...

Today is Live Long and Prosper Day, but I'm not big enuff of a Star Trek fan to have one of the bows.  Not yet, anyway; I certainly have nothing against Star Trek , and I love that fiasco with the Tribbles.  The Doctor captured me with ease, so I reckon First Officer Spock can too if I let him.  By the way, when I was a little kid Spock gave me the creeps; there was a poster in the old library with him on it, and I did everything I could to avoid it.  Rambling aside, no Star Trek bow today.  I picked something at random, something I haven't worn in awhile.  VeryShine is the Etsy shop this time; I last wore this bow in September . According to some of my dolly friends denizens of the planet Shimmeron wear a lot of lace.  That would mean Spectra and the Shimmerons , of course.  So, residents of Shimmeron, live long and prosper, may the Force be with you, don't piss off the Cybermen, all that good stuff. I do not own Spectra or any of her lacy, sp...

It's the Ides of March, AND Brutus Day.  I think it was LAST Ides of March that I wore the blood spatter bow and the scissors.  <pauses to look>  No, it was in May , LOL. The bow came from Nekollars , and the earrings came from EyesOnYouHandmade . Shakespeare is kinda ubiquitous in high school English class, and when I was in high school we got both Romeo and Juliet and Julius Cesar .  My teacher, who was a freakin' rockstar at teaching, informed us at the beginning of Julius Cesar that "This one is more of a guy's play.  Romeo and Juliet is more for girls."  I guess I think like a male, because I liked Julius Cesar better!  I couldn't help feeling sorry for poor dumb Brutus, who thought his cause was a noble one. On the other hand, Romeo and Juliet was the source of some comedy among my classmates.  The booklets we were using had the original Shakespearian text on the left, and then on the opposite page the corresponding modern English ...

A fabric that I love but rarely get to wear.  Now I get a chance. This one came from VeryShine , and is the bow that was accompanied by the button I wore yesterday.  I always like it when Etsy sellers include little freebies; ball-jointed doll companies often do that too, but I get why THEY do it.  My cheapest ball-jointed doll cost a hundred thirty bucks, and she came with a free pair of shoes and some candy for me.  I don't know this for certain, but I figure the company's mindset might be "These folks are spending a ton of money, let's include a nice little incentive to make them happy and maybe draw 'em in again."  Either that or they do it just for the helluvit, like I did when a friend of mine commissioned a Barbie doll dress.  She insisted on paying me, so I threw in a necklace to say "thanks."  Either way I like it when Etsy companies do this. Now, the bow itself.  The lace is cotton eyelet and has a nice drape to it.  It would look n...

Sounds like something the Doctor would've said to one of his crazy friends, but it's actually a quote from one of my dad's favorite movies. The Ghost and Mrs. Muir is probably the last flick I'd picture being immortalized as a hair bow, but the proprietors of DollfaceDesigns tends to think out of the box.  For the uninitiated, the titular Mrs. Muir is Lucy Muir, a young British widow who moves into a large house by the sea, accompanied by her young daughter and her housekeeper.  Unbeknownst to Lucy, the house is haunted by the ghost of a seafarer, and...well, they fall in love and the story goes from there.  My father, six-foot-two and three hundred pounds, was not one to cry easily (indeed, I saw him cry exactly once), but when The Ghost and Mrs. Muir came on TV one day he warned me "Better sit in front of me, Sarah.  This movie often makes me cry."  So I did, and so we enjoyed the flick.  Indeed, it has its emotional moments, as well as a few moments t...

This one is one of my more macabre bows.  Etsy shop is Nekollars , and be forewarned:  a lot of that shop's stuff is BDSM-related. Yes, that's blood on the bow (fake blood, of course).  I like to joke that I was running with scissors.  Remember these? Believe it or not the bloody scissors are popular with some of my patrons at the library.  I like to call them my murder earrings, LOL.  Indeed, I did kinda wake up this morning wanting to murder someone.  A gimpy leg, blurry eyes, fleas, and a nonfunctioning A/C made for a sleepless night.  I plan on doing something about the fleas TO. DAY., so that at least won't be a problem for much longer. Adieu, RagingMoon1987
