Time for a Fashion Plate!

I am trying to figure out something to blog about. I read a great review of some books about Mary Tudor, aka Bloody Mary, sounds like she was not such a bad sort after all. Isn’t that always the case? Richard III and now Mary – makes you wonder and realize  how contemporary sources can be twisted to corrupt the record. I’m sure that couldn’t happen nowadays…

I watched that amazing wedding video the JKHeinz Wedding entrance on YouTube – pure, unadulterated joy. Anyone who blathers on about it being improper has serious happiness issues. Who says? I mean – let’s reflect on what music Jesus was listening to – should we limit ourselves to lutes and bizarre string instruments?  I say – shake it up!

Finding Your Inner Fashion Plate

Susan Boyle singing the song heard round the world

This video of Susan Boyle singing the song I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables is incredibly moving. I would embed it, but I just can’t figure out how so PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK.  What a perfect song to choose if you want to make the point Ms. Boyle made. She is my new hero.

Yet, it is also profoundly troubling as well in an achey breaky heart kind of way. Somehow, it was assumed by the three judges and the ENTIRE audience Ms. Boyle was some sort of a joke.The implication was complete disdain. The cameras panned the audience and the facial expressions of those present can only be summed up as cruel. If indeed she had turned out to be awful, what could possibly justify subjecting her to a public humiliation of such magnitude? I know, I know, American Idol routinely spotlights the most hideous contestants imaginable. Yet, they seem to want the distinction of being the worst talent in order to make onto the initial episodes. I really hate American Idol.

But this clip is amazing. After watching it a couple of times I thought, Susan Boyle is really fetching. And, not only that, she kind of reminded me of THIS FASHION PLATE.

There’s a fashion plate inside of everyone. Especially hidden talent like Susan Boyle. 

Easter Lamb

Is it a lamb or a Bichon?

I made my traditional lamb cake today. Somehow, he turned out to look suspiciously like a bichon frise. A very funny friend of mine commented on lambie – she said “Oh, Lamb of cake take away the carbs of the world.” I answered her, “And grant us a piece.” 

I love the Episcopal liturgy. I mean no disrespect. But, it really is funny.

OH! Time for a fashion plate! This lovely lady is wearing her cross and has on her Easter bonnet… with all the trim upon it… could she be getting ready for the Easter parade?
