If you are one of those controlling people out there...
remember, eventually whoever you are trying to control
will get tired of it.
Eventually they will cut their own strings and break free from you.
Each one of us has a deep down instinct to be free.
So...I will be your puppet for awhile...
then I will just be someone that you use to know....
It can be fun to catch a little bit of heaven on heart...
to find a little magic and float away.
We all need fantasy and a touch of magic.
Impossible? No...life is what you make of it,
even when the chips are down.
This holiday season make sure you find the magic,
even better, make your own magic.
It took me a long time to get to the point where I was
ok being on my own.
When I was younger, I thought I needed a guy to complete me.
Then when I got divorced,
I thought I needed to replace that relationship ASAP.
Then as I matured and grew in my own skin,
I realized that it doesn't mean you have to be lonely when you are alone.
I have taken myself on more vacations than I can count.
Met a ton of amazing people.
See the world, and never felt lonely.
Sometimes its lonelier being with someone than being alone.
You are stronger than you think.
Stand tall...and show your strength.
Swing Alma Hat "The Black Widow" silver by E.V.E. at Art in Hats 2015
Nothing stays the same. Eventually we will all leave, it's not that we want to,
but everyone will leave this earth. It's just a matter of time.
We all lie, learn, change...
it is inevitable.
So while you are here, who do you want to be?
I have always had a wanderous heart. If I could travel the earth as a career,
I would sign up in a heartbeat.
There is something magical about the ocean, it is mysterious, facinating,
beautiful, dangerous, forbidding, wondrous....
Kinda sounds like relationships.
They are scary, but amazing...dangerous yet rewarding.
In this life everyone will cause us pain.
That is just how relationships work.
The thing is, you have decide who is worth suffering for.
Bravado is a new original mesh creation by Kerryth Tarantal, textured entirely with original fractal art by Kerryth Tarantal. The inspiration for the hat is the bombastic military hat styles of Britain and Europe in the late 1700s/early 1800s.
The mesh feathers were made by masking a swirling fractal spiral pattern with another fractal in a feather-like form. The resulting alpha textures - suggestive of peacock tail feathers - were applied to several different mesh shapes to create the mass of feathers between the upstanding front and back of the wide brim.
The lotus-like kaleidoscope fractal on the brim, and the ivory and orchid coloring of hat body and feathers give this Napoleon style hat a softer, feminine touch.
A fun thing to do is to go retro, do a pinup girl pose.
This cute hat seemed perfect for such a shot.
It features a swirl and cherries on the side.
If you havn't heard the pills and potions song,
check it out.
I think it pretty much sums up the feeling of an
addicted relationship.
I know I have been caught up in addictive relationships
in life where the guy was as bad as any drug or potion.
I had the hardest time getting away from him,
but when I finally did, I thought what was I thinking?
I guess the old adage is true...
too much of anything is not a good thing.

She stood there, searching.
But something was in the way, she couldn't see past the shadows.
The more she searched past the darkness, the more she found herself lost.
Enveloped in shadows, losing her way...
she realized...she was standing in the way of the light.
Stillness by Miss Darcy at Art in Hats 2015
Comes with the face tattoo
if a man is only as good as his word,
then I want to marry a man with a vocabulary like yours.
the way you say “dicey” and “delectable” and “octogenarian”
in the same sentence—
that really turns me on,
the way you describe the oranges in your backyard
using “anarchistic” and “intimate” in the same breath.
i would follow the legato and staccato of your tongue
wrapping around your diction
until listening become more like dreaming
and dreaming became more like kissing you.
i want to jump off the cliff of your voice
into the suicide of your stream of consciousness.
i want to visit the place in your heart where the wrong words die.
i want to map it out with a dictionary and points of brilliant light
until it looks more like a star chart than a strategy for communication.
i want to see where your words are born.
i want to find a pattern in the astrology.
i want to memorize the scripts of your seductions.
i want to live in the long-winded epics of your disappointments,
in the haiku of your epiphanies.
i want to know all the names you’ve given your desires.
i want to find my name among them,
‘cause there is nothing more wrecking-sexy than the right word.
i want to thank whoever told you there was no such thing as a synonym.
i want to throw a party for the heartbreak that turned you into a poet.
and if it is true that a man is only as good as his word
then, sweet jesus,
let me be there the first time you are speechless,
and all your explosive wisdom
becomes a burning ball of sun in your throat,
and all you can bring yourself to utter is, oh god,
oh god…. by Mindy Nettifee
It is true, seduce my mind and you will seduce my body!!
Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
– Albert Einstein
Be bold enough to try something new, go outside the box and explore. Sometimes it turns out amazing... and you just might like what you find. Plus if you don't go outside the lines, how you gonna reach the top?
