CHANNELING MARILYN MONROE

I never knew that much about Marilyn Monroe because she died when I was only two years old. That seems crazy to think it has been that long since she passed away. I knew she was pretty, a sex symbol, and had a tragic death at an early age. You see her face everywhere still in all kinds of advertising, like the t-shirt I am wearing today. But when I was looking up her autobiography I was amazed at some of her quotes.She was never portrayed as being “smart.” But, I love her quotes and it looks to me like she might have been smarter than I thought. She said, “Just because you fail once, doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will” and she said, “We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets.” I never knew that she was more than a pretty face. This just goes to show me that I am guilty of judging by appearance. That makes me wonder what people who meet me, see me on the internet, or pass me on the street think about me. I probably would rather not know. Lol! I bought this Marilyn Monroe t-shirt last year at Walmart. I think I only paid 5.00 for the shirt and I have worn it several times. It always makes me happy when I wear this shirt even though I don’t know why. I don’t wear a lot of t-shirts so the ones I wear have to mean something to me.

It was really windy today and I had a hard time keeping my hair out of my eyes. Lol! At least you can see my earrings, even if you can’t order them. Haha! I am just going to keep wearing them, and making you jealous so that the next time I tell you there is a limited supply of something you will listen. Lol! These were only 10.00 but here is the good news, the Melody Ann, Jess Mo, and Doris are like these, they are just different colors. The three single rhinestone bracelets are some of my favorites, but I bet you already knew that. The clear one is called the Hugo, the red one (a special until it is sold out) is called the Candy, and the black one is called Ezra and it is no longer available. There is only one week left in this month, so don’t forget that I am offering 15% off Plunder on orders over 50.00, I will send you a check for the discount. Go to www.plunderdesign.com/party/tania1 to shop from Plunder.
The large three-row rhinestone bracelet is sold out but maybe it will come out in the new spring catalog which is coming in April. The skinny jeans just seemed to be the right choice for this look. I added a Marc Fisher pair of boots that remind me of motorcycle boots to the outfit. I guess I was thinking along the lines of, “A Rebel Without A Cause.” I bought these black leather boots when they had a half-price sale and I didn’t even try them on. I buy a lot of Marc Fisher shoes and boots so I just assumed that I would be able to wear them. You know what they say about assuming 🙁 Anyway, I had heard a trick about stretching a leather shoe so I gave it a try. I filled a ziplock baggy half way with water and then inserted it down into the toe area, that was where is was too tight. I then put them in the freezer and left them for about a week. Actually, I forgot they were there until I opened the freezer for something. Lol! I let them sit and thaw out and tried them on the next day and they fit much better. They were still a little tight but after I wore them that day they now fit perfectly.

I love this motorcycle jacket. It has leather panels but the sleeves are sweater material. Having the sleeves out of the sweater material is not as confining as a full leather jacket. I was surprised that the panels were leather because they were so soft and pliable. This moto jacket is by Louis Dell’Olio and I like it way better than my “real” motorcycle jacket for wearing around town. If I go riding, then the real one will be what I choose. There are nights when my computer drives me crazy and last night was one of them. I had the hardest time getting it to do what I wanted it to do. I am so thankful that I finally broke down and ordered a new laptop computer. It is supposed to come today and I am crossing my fingers that it does. The learning curve associated with a new computer, the different software, the different buttons, etc. will take me a while to get used to but I am willing to take the challenge. The one I have been working on was a hand-me-down from my daughter and it is at least 8 years old. In the world of computers that is ancient. Lol! You know how well we over 50-year-olds do wth new technology. Wish me luck!!!
