Cardigan: Urban Behavior Collection Shirt: Paradisio Skirt: Old Navy Flats: Denver Hayes Necklace: It's mummy's and I have no idea. I "borrowed" it from her, and she got it as a gift from my Tia Ceci
The only exciting/interesting thing that happened to me today:
Oh wait. There were two interesting things
Anyway!
#1: I found THE most adorable Vintage dress I have ever seen. AND a bonus, it was really flattering. Which is nice, because most dresses make me look fat. I'll wear it on Monday for the contest, if that's allowed Natasha!
#2: Mum and me were at the coffee shop this morning, and this lady at the table next to me says to me; "You're dressed to nicely! So demure and pretty. Where do you get your clothes?"
So I told her that I got them mostly at the thrift store, and then she asked me if I lived in town, and I said yes, and then she asked me if I went to school, and I said no, I was homeschooled.....
So she said "Oh, my daughter here os homeschooled! Maybe you could exchange phone numbers?" So I told her that I would really like that, as I had no friends in my town really, and she asked me my name. I told her, and she, her husband and her daughter stared at me.
I was thinking, Uh oh. Am I named after some sort of Serial Killer or something?
Turns out that her daughter...
*ahem*
Maybe I should rewind a bit. A friend of ours had told me that there was this girl in my town who was my age, and quite lonely because she was an only child and homeschooled. So she gave me the girl's number, and we had chatted a few times, but she was always busy.
Then one day I tried calling, but an operator cut in and told me the line was no longer in use.
So that was the end of that.
So the mum explained to me that they had gotten their number changed, and now I have her new number, and I'm going to try to see Tara next week. Yay!
[ I should add, I have a very unique name. That's why they stared at me. I am almost positive that there are no girls with my name in my town, and possibly in Canada.]
As an aside, mummy got up to shake Tara's father's hand, and he reached out and spilled the whole latté all over Tara's lap. Wonderful first impression eh?
*UPDATE*
Shaynie awarded me!
thanks to much! I love you girl!

So here is my entry for day one....
[The theme for this contest is fancy shoes]
What I am wearing: Shoes: Le Chateau Skirt: Sandwich Cami: GAP Shirt: H&M Necklace: Wal-Mart Clutch: No idea. Got it as a Christmas present, and there is no tag!
Oh yes, and I'd appreciate prayers, I was throwing up all night last night...I suspect from undercooked chicken!
God Bless,
Let's face it. God in his infinite wisdom, placed me here and now for a reason. I respect and honor and love this reason.
BUT
I hope it's okay if I do a little wishful thinking, and maybe complain a bit about the good ol' 21st Century.
First of all, let's take a not-too-detailed peek at today's oh so luverly trends...

And now, let's look at...
Oh, I don't know...
The Regency era?
Bet ya'll didn't see THAT one comin' eh?
For guys, I'm just going to say that this;
Looks better than this could even dream of.
I mean, seriously?
Keep dreaming.
Now, let me gripe a bit about the many annoyances that a Catholic young girl trying to live her faith as modestly as possible comes across.
Low riding jeans.
Back then, you exposed your undergarments?
Phfft! You didn't even THINK about doing that. Not once. NEVER. And if, say, you were drunk and you did? Jail, maybe? I don't know too much of their...politics and laws. (I'm too busy mooning over their dresses)
Mini shorts.
Yet again, you didn't even contemplate showing that much skin. you showed your ankes, and you were considered scandal girl #1.
Okay, maybe I find that a teensy bit over the top. But I prefer it to mini shorts!
Low cut tops.
Sadly, they wore some pretty looooow cut dresses back in those days. BUT They would never have dreamt of wearing something as revealing, as, say, a bikini! And while we're on the topic of those....
BIKINIS!!!
There is nothing on this planet that makes me more irritated than a bikini.
A majority of underwear that most girls wear covers a LOT more than most bikini's do these days.
The good old days were when you took a horse drawn carriage type thing into the water, had a swim, and then went back into it so people wouldn't see you with your dress stuck to you like a second skin.
And now, to wrap this up....
I like the picture on the left more.
It's more romantic.
What do YOU think?
What era would you have liked to live in?
It's more romantic.
What do YOU think?
What era would you have liked to live in?
This wasn't as well written as it could have been, I know.
God Bless, and please forgive me if I offended anyone!
So, this all got started with Bleah Briann's post; --->>>CLICK HERE<<<--- to see it.
She asks, "What happened here? Why is it all like this?"
ANSWER:
Hollywood is poisoning the culture of North America
How?
Because people like her:
Her,
And him....
Are the role models for a majority of today's preteens, teens and even younger children!
Morality has almost disappeared from our culture.
Good manners?
What are you, like, 60?
Moral Principles?
Those are for goody-goody's.
Fame and Fortune is a hazard, to both soul and body.
Soul:
Look at Miley Cyrus.
She went from
Cute, GOOD GIRL, supposed role model, rather cheesy Hannah Montana
To "Untameable", self absorbed, bad girl just like all the other famous stars!
In that career, you have to be bad to be successful.
You have to please your audience, no matter how soul-damaging it is.
You have to wear revealing clothing, sing lustful and degrading lyrics, or act in disgusting, demoralizing scenes in movies.
Refuse? Sing good moral songs? Act in good moral movies?
Too bad. No money for you.
No big house, no stretch-limo, no million dollars.
Morality is for old people and those ridiculous Christian people who think there is some "God" who is going to reward them for their good works.
I am NOT saying this holds true every single time.
Just a vast majority of it.
Body:
They become obsessed with their looks.
My hair is too blonde
I'm too fat
Too skinny
Too tall
Too short
My nose is too big
My eyes are too small
My mouth is too wide
My teeth aren't perfectly straight
Seriously? How is this attractive? Or HEALTHY?
AND THEN?
Young people imitate these "stars"!
Anyway, the point I'm trying to make....
Hollywood is dangerous. Fame is dangerous
My anger vent for today.
God Bless!
