Mellow Yellow

Miss Ruth's Time Bomb earrings; vintage dress and hat.

I apologize for the long gap between posts; I had to deal with a horrible bout of stomach flu this week. But here I am again, fresh and ready to go back into the blogging world! These pictures were taken a couple of years ago by my friend Ron Barrick for an art exhibit. I have no idea why I didn't put them up earlier; I guess it's just one of those things that I haven't gotten around to doing (until now). Don't you hate it when you know you have to do something but keep putting it off for so long that you cringe at the prospect of doing it? Anyway, our theme for this shoot was lemon, hence the beautiful frothy yellow gown and hat, procured at an obscure local vintage clothing store that is now closed.

Hope you all are having a great weekend!
Mwah! Mwah!

P.S. Harry Potter nerd that I am, I couldn't end this post without wishing a happy early birthday to Draco Malfoy, one of my favorite characters from the series. HAPPY 31st BIRTHDAY, DRACO! I <3 YOU!!! (Yeah, I have also been writing birthday greetings on all of the Draco Malfoy Facebook fan pages.) 

Speaking of HP madness...I finally watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and and procured this magnificent sparkling vintage green snake broach that looks remarkably like a Slytherin snake. (Both within a 12 hour span! I watched the movie Friday night and got the broach Saturday afternoon. What next, a letter of acceptance from Hogwarts?) Albeit my attraction to the artistic wit and charm of Ravenclaw, I'll always be the ambitious, cunning, conniving Slytherin type. 

I'm ecstatically looking forward to July 15th when the second part comes out. I'll definitely be "standin' in line, dressed like a wizard" at midnight. Going to shut up now...I can tell my nerdiness is getting out of hand due to the fact that my "P.S." section of this post is almost twice as long the original post itself.
