Vintage Turquoise and The Other Topic of the Week

Janet over at The Gardner's Cottage has been busy this week.
First she posted her amazing recipe for artisan bread

Doesn't this look amazing?

I may actually attempt to try making it this weekend

Then she posted fabulous photos of her favorite Ralph Lauren looks

and included this image of her vintage turquoise jewelry

Great pieces aren't they?

Anthem - Rolling In The Deep

La Belette Rouge recently posted about our need for having personal anthems at different points in our lives.  We've all had them haven't we?

Well, after certain events last weekend that resembled a French farce
this is my current life anthem.

Luckily, the timing for these events couldn't have been better as Easter, at least for me, signifies Spring and a time for new beginnings and paying more attention to the things that add value to my life.
Bon, on y va.

Skankdom Rules!

So, let me get this straight you are married to this goddess

extremely talented, successful and not exactly a sight for sore eyes

and while she's off doing her job making movies for which she gets paid a fortune

you just can't help but to tap into some of this

because what man wouldn't want to have an 11 month affair with this lovely creature?

Yep, she definitely looks like she was worth that one day a week private time that you shared
Oh...you were lonely because your wife was off filming 'The Blind Side'?

You say your wife wasn't giving you the attention you deserved?

Well, you know it's not as though you were strapped for money and couldn't afford to, you know, to go and visit her. God knows you it's not like you couldn't afford a private friggin jet to fly back east to visit your wife every single weekend that she away working.

And on the topic of skankdom

Is this the video that we want all 10 year olds to watch?

It's not that I object to the song, it's the imagery

especially the Tarentino-esque scene where Lady Gaga and her homegirl Beyonce

murder an entire diner full of people...and a dog

Watch the whole thing and tell me what you think
