When I was a little girl, we used to take Lee Highway to go around the Northern Virginia suburbs. When we got close to Merrifield, we would always see this huge figure of Nipper, the dog. Nipper was the mascot for RCA records. I loved watching this big dog and the record player from the back seat of my Daddy’s car as we drove by, I don’t believe it is there any more. But it was fun to find this old photo of a childhood landmark.
While my 13 year old daughter and I were out and about running the errands today we some how got on the subject of CB radios that became so popular back in the 70′s, which is a subject that she really has a very limited knowledge on, so I tried to enlighten her with some of my memories of that era. Basically it was the beginning of filling the need for a social network that opened doors for so many people and businesses way before the makers of Social Networks like the Facebook and MySpace were even born.
Of course there are numerous social networks on the Internet. Like just recently I signed up and joined a pretty cool online Fashion Social Network that so far looks pretty cool, but I definitely need to spend some more time to get a better feel of what it is all about. My sister was telling me some things about it that I really want to see if I can find and take a look-see for myself. I look forward to hearing from other Fashion Bloggers from all over the world. I’m interested in seeing what today’s online fashion community has to say. And that’s a big 10-4 Good Buddy!
My all time favorite color has always been aquamarine and I have found the perfect affordable home decor at the Z Gallerie’s website today. It must have been fate because I have been looking for some aquamarine decorative accessories and I just filed for my tax return and I should be getting some cash back in the next week. I learned to file my taxes online and it saves a lot of the time that we normally have to wait for our refund (if we get a refund) so I get my hands on my money in no time, as well as going directly into my checking account.
If you get a chance you really should check out this stylish home decor and chick furniture and see all the wonderful affordable furniture and the gorgeous accessories that they have there. Check out this beautiful piece of faux coral that would, and will, look great in the piece of art I am creating with pieces of the sea’s and ocean’s that I’ve visited at, along with all of the shark’s teeth that I’ve collected ever since I was a wee one. I’ve never seen a piece of aquamarine coral before, even though it is faux – so this is exciting.
Years ago I took a course on screenwriting, taught by a famous actor and screenwriter while I was in Washington DC. He opened my eyes and my mind to the way movies are created. Now I can’t watch a movie like a normal audience member. I watch it with a critical eye and look for little tells, like the common locations and Hollywood tricks used during filming. I would love to be a movie director on a project and hope to write a screenplay that actually becomes a movie some day.
I have always been a fan of Stevie Nicks and her music. She has made some awesome videos, too.
I love just about every song that she has done on her own, and I love the songs by Fleetwood Mac. I know I have at least three of their albums in my music collection.
