Way back Wednesday

The year was 1986.
June.
I was a senior in High School and it was
PROM NIGHT!!!!!!!!

Yes, that is me in the Princessy/Cinderella gown.
White gloves and all!
Sexy eh?!

Mark, my date for the night, was not my first choice.
No, my first choice decided he didn't want to be "tied down".
One week before prom.
(My life was like a John Hughes movie)
Anyway, Mark, being the sweetheart he was, came in at the last minute and asked me to go with him.
(yeah, I had NO CLUE he had a crush on me. Really)

I figured, why the hell not?
Besides, he had a KILLER car!

*sigh*
If only I knew then what I know now .....
and DAMNIT! Can I have that 17 year old body back??????????

Oh, in case anyone cares, the Billboard Top song from this date was:

Ahhhh .... Patti LaBelle ....

Triple-D

Dirty

Drunken

Dancing










I was actually trying for a "come hither" look.

????????

Yeah .......


At least my hair is growing back.

Saturday silliness ....

This morning, as I was trolling through YouTube, I came across a very rare gem .....

Olivia Newton-John & ELO from "Xanadu"!
Do y'all remember this movie??
Let me refresh your memory .....

"The Greek muses incarnate themselves on Earth to inspire men to achieve. One of them, incarnated as a girl named Kira, encounters an artist named Sonny Malone. With the help of Danny McGuire, a man Kira had inspired forty years earlier, Sonny builds a huge disco roller rink" ~ IMDB

This movie was terrible in soooooo many ways .... and I love it!


So as I was watching the video for "Xanadu", all I could think of was the daring Daisyfae and her latest adventure.
All you need is some leg warmers and shiny spandex pants to get your Roller Disco Queen on!
HAHAHAHA

Dais, this one is for you!


ROLLER GURRRRRL!

Have a great weekend y'all!

Wild hair ....

As most of you already know, I am a natural born red-head.
A ginger.
Through the years, my hair has gone from strawberry blonde to dark auburn and everything in between.
Ok, so mostly it's now grey/gray.

Well, for many years now, I have dreamt of having REALLY dark, almost Raven black hair.
I have blue-grey eyes, fair skin and freckles galore, so severely dark hair like that would probably not look so good.
But  ... me being me, I decided to just take the plunge.

Here I am before:

And here's what I look like now:

Whaddya think?????

I may or may not have had a glass or two (5) of wine in pic #2.
Just sayin' .....

Textural titillation .....

Textures.
That is this weeks theme for Haiku Monday.

Having a child on the Autism Spectrum, I live my life around textures!
Too mushy, too gooey, too soft, too scritchy, GAH!  We've been through them all!
I thought about writing about another Haiku about my sons textural issues, but .....
yeah ...
It's been done already.

So, I decided to rip a page out of my life ...
and my textures.

It's a bit on the risque side .....

A bind of black silk
Senses heightened; nerves aroused
Slick tongue is your whip



I usually save my *ahem* steamier stuff for full poems.
But I wanted to see if I could convey erotica in 5-7-5.
I don't think it's half bad.

The lovely  (and VERY saucy) CoreyJo is the hostess this week.
Go on over and have a read.
