1950's

Jean Patchett and Jayne Mansfield have been inspiring me so much this past month.

I go through such different phases of styles that i adore. The classy chic, red lipstick and pearls look has such an elegance to it.

I got many looks when i styled my hair like this, and had on red lipstick and high lighted the mole by my lower lip. It seems that some people think the 1950's should stay in the 1950's.. I for one think why not take the best of each era and make into something your own.

I feel i am at a constant battle with my hair. I haven't found one style that i truly love and fits me. It is very frustrating, because lets face it- its all about the hair. (well and the face.)

I sometimes think its not even so much the style that i love, but the composure and behaviors that come along with the fashion. It is not good for a pretty lady to speak obscene words, to belch, you want to behave "properly." I get too laid back once in awhile, and i love to refresh my soul and be lady like: i feel better about myself. Not based on the clothes, but how they make me a better person.

There is nothing wrong with a woman having manners, and dressing conservatively in today's society. I for one, feel more beautiful, confident and respectable when i am in a turtle neck than in a low cut shirt. Maybe i don't fit in this generation.. I dream of horse and carriages often, going to opera's and plays instead of to night clubs.Sometimes dreams are better than reality.

Lets be real folks. I listen to Benny Goodman& his orchestra and Aaron Zigman.

But i am happy here as well because Nick is here. I guess God has a reason he put me where i am.

Which era do you feel you belong in?
