Feeling safe with the WWW

No, WWW does not stand for the World Wrestling Confederation, and I am NOT feeling intimidated by fake professional wrestlers.  I have decided to limit the readers of my blog to those I give permission to.  It's not that I think I have an audience that is so large that way too many people are viewing this little glimpse into my world.  It's just that being a teacher and so "out there" in the world wide web makes me feel I need a bit more anonymity.

I will be sending invites out shortly to those whom I think read my blog or might like to read my blog.  If you don't receive an invite and would like to be invited, just e-mail me and let me know.

So, happy reading!

Pretty girly things

I really enjoy the show Samantha Who, and I have been thinking if I had an unlimited income how much I would love wearing some of Samantha's clothes.  Recently I saw a post about her wardrobes and TV Guide even featured a spread about her cute "rags."  Unfortunately her wardrobe costs about $2500 a pop.  Like I said, I'll have to find inspiration at Kohls and TJ Maxx for now.

I usually love clothes from period pieces, and while I was surfing Facebook yesterday I noticed there is a whole group devoted to the dress that Giselle wore in Enchanted.  I, too, LOVE this dress!  Although I don't think I'
d want to live in the past because of the lack of equality for 

women, conveniences, etc. I do like the clothes.  Here is a list of the top 5 dresses from period pieces.   

1.  Enchanted Dress-it is so girly and pretty.  It looks like a dress that Sleeping Beauty would have worn.  What girl didn't dress up like a princess when she was little?
2.  Rose's dress in Titanic-this dress has such a cool deign and the layers are so original yet very feminine.
3. Buttercup's dresses in The Princess Bride.  This movie just
 plain awesome so how can the wardrobe not be?

4.  Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind-This dress would be virtually impossible to navigate, but I'd be willing to try. 
5.  The clothes from Jane Austin's era aren't nearly as extravagant, but I have always thought they were simple yet elegant.
