03.27.2009 Art, Orchids, Portraits

Happy Art Friday! Today I’m in an orchid mood. Still.

Remember Patrick Nagel (1945-1984)? He was very popular in the eighties. To the right is “Kristen.” I remember loving his artwork a lot, even if I never bought anything. It was so slick and “hip,” and everywhere you looked you saw his stuff. When I look at this it makes me think of Duran Duran, big hair, and sweat shirts with the collars ripped out so you could bare one shoulder. LOL

Now, back to that orchid thing…

The image to the left is a detail from “Pure Orchid,” by thickblackoutline. It reminds me of Nagel’s work, but I actually like it better. There’s still a solitary woman with big hair. The lines are clean, the colors subtle and simple. But I love this woman’s tattoos and that fact that she’s not wearing any panties. And believe it or not, this is from a t-shirt design, of all things! Buy it here.

And have a no-panties weekend!

03.26.2009 Husbands, Orchids, Shopping, Thursday 3

Thursday 3: Loving Gestures

Thursday 13 is too much. Here’s my Thursday 3 instead.

I thought I’d blog about three things my loving husband did for me recently.

1. He took me to the Santa Barbara International Orchid Show! It was so much fun. I came home with two gorgeous plants that I hope won’t die any time soon. I’ve managed to grow a flower stem on my one orchid, a feat here-to-fore never accomplished by me.

2. He brought me my warm fuzzy bathrobe yesterday morning when, still snuggled in bed, I mentioned that it was very cold in the bedroom.

3. He fixed the showerhead for me this morning when I said it had gone wonky on me.

What a guy! That’s why I love him.
