When I was in my early 20's, back in the late 60's, I attended a mandatory meeting with an untraditional speaker in a very traditional environment. This experience became etched in my life! I LOVE feeling and expressing EMOTIONS! So bear with me as I get a little carried away here with some subtly EXPLOSIVE quotations!
~ ENJOY ~ LAUGH ~ CRY ~ DREAM ~ SCREAM ~
. . . and sing along with me as I second that emotion!
“Love isn't an emotion or an instinct--it's an art.” ~ Mae West ~
“But some emotions don't make a lot of noise. It's hard to hear pride. Caring is real faint - like a heartbeat. And pure love - why, some days it's so quiet, you don't even know it's there.” ~ anon ~
“As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery… we have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness.” ~ Dalai Lama ~
“Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotion know what it means to want to escape from these.”
~ Emily Dickinson ~
“I adore art...when I am alone with my notes, my heart pounds and the tears stream from my eyes, and my emotion and my joys are too much to bear.” ~ Giuseppe Verdi ~
“The greatest reward is to know that one can speak and emit articulate sounds and utter words that describe things, events and emotions.” ~ Camilo Jose Cela ~
“All emotions are pure which gather you and lift you up; that emotion is impure which seizes only one side of your being and so distorts you.” ~ Rainer Maria Rilke ~

I had a nice conversation with this lady that was Mae West ...At least for the night.....
The Annual Patrons of the Prado Gala 2011 "Sirens & Sheiks of the Silver Screen" was held on Saturday, July 9th in Balboa Park.
Take a trip back in time through these photos as we walk the red carpet and enter an era of vintage glamour and glitter as you mingle among beautiful siren actresses, Mae West, the little Shirley Temple and a young Charlie Chaplin. The event started at 6pm with a cocktail reception & silent auction at the Casa Del Prado Courtyard, then adjourned at 8pm to the Cascades Plaza of Balboa Park which is just adjacent to the Bea Evenson Fountain for a sit-down dinner.
The dinner hour included special entertainment by Peter Duchin Orchestra from New York & a live auction with amazing items (a week in Paris at the Duke of Windsor Retreat, a week at the Rothschild Estate to name a few). Décor included images and backdrops from the golden era. Dinner was a culinary delight created specially for this event by the award-winning chef & owner of Pamplemousse Grill, Jeffrey Strauss. The after-dinner party was held at the Casa del Prado Courtyard with dancing and a sumptuous dessert buffet.

The Port of Rotterdam, in The Netherlands, is the biggest port in Europe. In the "Hamburg - Le Havre Range" it surpasses Antwerp and Hamburg in tonnage, port size, diversities and miles of quayside.
To promote the port's activities and it's vital for the Dutch economy, the 33rd edition of the World Port Days was held on 2, 3 and 4 September 2011. The World Port Days are a festive and adventurous event for all ages. Along the river and quayside, visitors were offered a wide range of activities.
This year’s theme was 'Port of many flavours'. So, salvager "Smit International" took the opportunity to let children have their first taste of working at sea and in Rotterdam ....
Come up, I'll tell your fortune. Aw, you can be had. -Mae West, She Done Him Wrong
(Obviously the cheese done slid off my cracker if I'm giving flowers personalities and movie lines)
Day 39 Year 2: "Don't cry for a man who's left you, the next one may fall for your smile."~~Mae West
It seems to me that Ms.West was one smart cookie. I know I shouldn't be crying again over this same guy (it's a long story, don't ask) and yet, here I am. I know there are other fish in the sea but it seems like every time I'm let down by one of them, I have less energy to go fishing again. And it's not so much the fact that it's not going to work between us, it's just that he can't seem to face me to tell...has to leave an email about it. Fucking technology makes it too damn easy for people to wriggle out of uncomfortable situations...and it really makes me feel like crap because am I really so awful that he can't break up with me like a normal human being? Am I such a horrible person that he just doesn't want to be around me even to say goodbye? And the worst part is, it makes me miss my Mom so damn much...because she'd just say "Natalie, he's a jerk and you deserve better." and coming from her, it sounds like the truth, you know? God, I miss her so much.
Normally I don't do "nose" humor,
but couldn't resist this cartoon sent to me by my sister,
knowing how I've been on a snowman/lady kick of late.
Can anyone identify the artist so I can give credit?
Just did a search, guessing at the signature here, and wonder if this is the brainchild of
"Chad Carpenter" who, according to Wikipedia, is an American cartoonist, well known for his comic panel Tundra.
Carpenter launched the strip in the Anchorage Daily News in 1991, and since then he has self-syndicated it to over 330 newspapers, an unusually high amount for strips in self-syndication.
“I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interest me are the number of carats in a diamond.”

“Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie.”

Cartoon tribute inspired by the wayward and controversial period in the life of Princess Margaret (1930-2002), sister of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, in the 1970s; when the princess was in her 40s.
During a deeply unhappy marriage (1960-1978) to the Earl of Snowdon, in 1973 the princess fell in love with a handsome bohemian horticulturist, Roddy Lleiwellyn (1946-); causing a storm in the British press - she being 16 years older than her beau.
Under deep criticism, she was in the newspapers constantly, often pictured leaving London or returning from a break on the Island of Mustique, in The West Indies.
A great beauty in her 20s and 30s, by her 40s (in the 1970s) her troubles were reflected in her gain of weight, heavy drinking and smoking - but to the artist, she retained a bronzed blowsy glamour; rather like a tarnished film star.
She is depicted here at Heathrow Airport (1976); on Mustique (1976); at Roddy's 30th birthday party that she held at Kensington Palace, London (1977); dressed as Mae West at a party in Scotland (1978); on duty in London (1977) & and on Mustique in fancy dress for the 50th birthday party of Lord Glenconner, owner of the island (1976).

Before Marilyn and before Madonna, there was Mae West, Hollywood's first superstar sex symbol and the original blonde bombshell.
A performer since childhood, she wrote her own comedic material and built up an act made up of open sexuality and clever double entendres. Her 1926 Broadway play Sex led to her arrest on obscenity charges (and plenty of free publicity); her play Diamond Lil (1928) made her a star and put the finishing touches on a character she was to play her entire life. In the 1930s she took Hollywood by storm, stealing the show in Night After Night (1932) and then starring in classic comedies such as She Done Him Wrong (1933, with Cary Grant) and I'm No Angel (1933). In 1935 she was proclaimed the highest paid woman in the United States, a movie star famous for her ability to poke fun at her own public image.
Her films in the 1940s were less successful and West returned to the stage, performing in plays and, later, a nightclub act. In 1970 she returned to the screen in the film version of Gore Vidal's Myra Breckinridge, and in 1978 she appeared in her last movie, Sextette, still playing a sexy dame in spite of her advanced years.
