The Bow Belle

It's Rubber Duckie Day, so I get to trot out my rubber duckie bow ... ...and my earrings... ...and normally I'd wear my shirt, but it's too cold to wear that. Seriously, the denizens of Sesame Street have declared today Rubber Duckie's birthday, and I'm not gonna argue with Bert and Ernie.  Everyone oughtta love Rubber Duckie anyway; I've even got Day of the Dead rubber duckies...somewhere.  I think my sister even collected 'em for awhile, but I don't know if she still does.  Now she collects coffee mugs and that's alright too.  While she was living in Vermont I even bought her one that says "I f#%king miss you, bitch" inside.  But for awhile she liked rubber ducks. Happy birthday, Rubber Duckie!  I had a rubber duckie meself growing up...and y'all know what???  The goober was top-heavy!  He looked just like this one, paint rubs and all. Oh don't get me wrong, he floated.  But if the water was even a little choppy he'd go belly-...

With yet more rain in the forecast I elected to wear something watertight...sort of.  I wear this particular bow with one particular shirt, and that shirt hasn't been clean for a long time, but...I got around to washing the shirt!  Pardon the stray cat hair on the bow; such things are inevitable when one owns nine cats. The fun thing about this bow is that it's actually meant for a dog collar, not hair.  See the Velcro loops? Like the music note bow tie I was determined to make this work, so I bought a hair chopstick for it.  It's a simple hair stick, made out of polished, sealed wood. The chopstick is thick, so I have a hard time getting it comfortably placed.  But it does the job well. Oh yes, I've also got these.  What good is a rubber duckie theme without earrings? These look like they'd weigh a ton, but they don't.  They're dangly, but unlike a lot of dangly earrings they're also very comfortable.  Just don't wear them to a bar fight, LOL. C...
