She's In A Book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Third postdated post!

Everyone knows I love Bethany over at Bitter Betty. Her posts are always informative and I envy her confidence when she uses herself to model the gorgeous clothing she makes from vintage patterns. She really knows how to strike a pose!

I firmly believe we all have our own unique gifts to offer and our own unique styles, but sometimes, when you struggle as I do with trying to  understand who you are and what your style is, it helps to have a role model or someone you hope to emulate the essence of. 

Bethany probably has no need to be anyone's "Essence Idol", but she's mine. I hope to become more comfortable posting pictures of myself in some of the awesome vintage clothing I own as the year progresses. If you ever see a picture of me on this blog wearing my baby blue Jackie O. coat....you know I've crossed a personal barrier. However, if you ever see a picture of me on this blog wearing my 1920's almost nothing vintage flapper lingerie...well, you have permission to express moral outrage!    

When I saw that one of Bethany's creations (modeled by someone else) had made its way into this book, I was thrilled for her!

Congratulations Bethany!

P.S.  Ambika is another "Essence ldol" when it comes to modeling her own creations.

I'm so glad I visited today and read the good news about Bethany! You're so right: we all have our own unique gifts and styles to offer. YOUR gifts and styles are the best! *S*

I love Bethany's blog. She's the one who inspired me to experiment with vintage clothing patterns in the first place--I've yet to even look at modern ones!

I love her blog (and her self-confidence) too. But let me tell you, my lil' friend, you would NEVER induce outrage for modeling ANY outfit. You are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! So, for that comment you made, I am sending you to the corner where you must STAND until you get that silly idea straight out of your head! One of the (MANY) things I admire about YOU is your confidence. Therefore, NO MORE NEGATIVITY OF ANY KIND toward yourself. There! My mommy lecture is now over. HUGS!(And hope you are having a total BLAST!)

Essence Idol... I like that :)

Hope you had a nice little vaca away and thanks for the gentle push to get day 3 posted - I needed that!

I'd love to see your vintage clothing collection - I expect to see some posts on that in the near future, missy! :)
