The Roaring Aughts?

By -
Okay, so I was visiting my grandmother last weekend and helped her restart her digital photo frame that the family got her for Christmas. And I saw this picture...


This is Minnie Martin, my mom's mom's mom, known to me as Mom Mom. Isn't she just the cuuuutest little flapper you've ever seen?

I've decided I have to dress up on Halloween as a flapper now. ;) I do so love costumes!

I found this wig...


And this dress...

Yes, I know I said I would never shop at Pyramid Collection again, but why is it that they have to have such awesome stuff!!!???

Great photo of your Mom Mom. I love the title of your post - The Roaring Aughts! When I was a kid we had an honorary grandpa who was a very close family friend, and he was born in the late 1800's. He'd tell stories about something that happened 'in aught-nine.' I always loved that!

Oh Lesley, your “Mom Mom” was a knockout! What an adorable flapper she was. I think the wig and dress you chose for your costume are just perfect. You’ll definitely have to have some pictures taken this Halloween! :-D

Wasn't she!? Oh you bet your rapidly shrinking booty I'll post pictures. I may even try to convince my best friend to recreate that photo. *makes eyes at Lisha*

13 of my Favorite Quotes from Fiona O'Sithein I'm too darn sleepy to be creative tonight so I'm drawing on my ready-made list. Not to be confused with the one I did about the first lines of the chapters in Fiona. Those weren't nearly my favorites. Is it narcissistic to have favorite quotes that you wrote yourself? When I'm giggling my head off at something I wrote, my husband always looks at me kinda funny. Oh, well if it is, then here is me reveling in narcissism. :-D May you enjoy them as much as I do. 1. Fiona: “What? You think just because I don’t have any magic like my brother or super strength like you people that I’m useless?” 2. Bonnie: “He’s not a heretic, is he?” Fiona: “Isn’t everyone these days?” 3. Fiona: “No one wants to be the one to deflower the king’s daughter.” 4. Fiona: “Yes, Beltran, you’re a vampire. How could anyone forget it when you’re reminding them of it ten times a day? You are the only vampire I know who seems to obsess ab...

Thirteen Things that take My Breath Away 1. This little Guy... Need I say More? 2. Eden Falls at the Lost Valley This picture doesn't even remotely do it justice. The first time I saw Eden Falls was in the middle of the summer after a big rain storm so there was water absolutely gushing from it! It made getting into the cave at the top somewhat more difficult than usual, but it was absolutely beautiful. I had never seen anywhere like it in my life. I thought places like that only existed in wall calenders! 3. The Ocean The vastness of it. The sound of the waves. The smell of it. That humid, cool wind that blows off it. The way it moves. Pretty much everything about it! *Lesley desperately needs a trip to the beach* 4. The Ozark Mountains My home! The very first time I came here I just knew this was where I wanted to be. I grew up on the delta with nothing but rice fields and flat land as far as the eye can see. There is a place on the drive up the mountain where you come around a c...

13 Characters from my WIP: Blood and Violets Thanks for giving me the inspiration to do this one with your TT last week , Julia! I hope you don't mind my borrowing your lovely idea! I make these 3D renders of all my favorite characters. It helps me get a good grip on them in my head. 1. The Heroine! Marie Moonstone - Yes, Moonstone! I know, isn't it awful? She despises it and only introduces herself as Marie Smith. Marie has got more spunk than anyone should be entitled to. It's virtually impossible for her to get through even five minutes without getting into an argument. She hates being told what to do, and she doesn't let anyone boss her around except for her big brother. He convinced her to study Pre-Law when she'd much rather be studying theater. Her choice of careers becomes somewhat inconsequential, however, when she is kidnapped. 2. Our Hero! Alexander Farmer was born in small village near Paris in 1674. When he's still pretty young he's k...
