Julie - Out and About

  You look forward to getting out.  The plans for the morning are formulated.  You start the process. And then . . .  Selecting the wardrobe is always the MOST time consuming portion. Being a Friday morning, I went with "office worker running a few errands on her way to work". My foundation garments are always the most difficult process, since I usually get everything padded, tucked, squeezed and supported --- and then need to pee! April in Spokane - a light jacket is needed first thing in the morning. My Plan - our library was having a book sale, I had a check to deposit into my account, shopping at Dollar Tree, and I wanted to get a snack at Applebee's. The execution, however, was far from smooth! The Book Sale: It was pleasant enough. I browsed the tables for quite a while, maneuvering through the crowd to check out the books, CDs, and DVDs. I found nothing that captured my attention, and I don't think I captured anyone else's attention, so I did what a gal lik...

  Have A Safe And Happy New Year, Sweeties!

OK, my last experiment turned in the results I expected. In that, when I post a Photo Essay I get LOTS of views in a brief period of time. Now we come to The Great Experiment Part 2.

Since it was Sunday I went in my best black skirt, grey mock turtleneck top, black pumps and grey pantyhose.  He was very comlimentary about my outfit and overall appearance. He runs a local theater and he encouraged me to audition for Lady Macbeth! I h...

 I am an actor. This is my passion, has been my profession, and continues to be my reason to move forward.  When I cannot indulge in my craft, many things happen.

And during this drought (the last play was I did was in early September) I have found that my desire for Julie to get Out And About has increased multi-fold. Teal Leggings (never thought I'd type that phrase) Could this be my life seeking a balance - putting on a cute outfit and "being" s...
