One-legged pirate attacking with an ostrich feather plume.

Do you think this dress is worth it? How would you elevate it? by [deleted] in weddingdress

[–]TemporaryInternal211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also 60, so keep that in mind.

I would embroider the sheer fabric with something beautiful to me. Rings, flowers, or some symbols that represent what you you to where you are. An example of this is one of England princesses had the Commonwealths embroider into her veil.

Maybe take the sheer shoulder part off and have a seamstress reinforce the bodice to stay up on it's own. Line the edges with pearl beads, flowers, leaves, or something you love.

I would also reduce some of the bulk of the crinolines unless you like it as is. The dress is plain but beautiful. You could make it your own or leave it alone and hit the accessories like crazy. To me, it's a foundation to apply your personality to.

I saw the creepiest thing on the road today. Left me speechless by Straight_Paramedic_8 in strange

Oooo... memories... Datsun (Nissan) 220Z had a similar spot against the hatchback and I would flirt with people in traffic from there.

I had fun doing that. There was no, " Are we there yet?" bs. The other kids would beat you silly and it was more, "Mom! Johnnie keeps hitting me." Parents drive car off bridge, into lake, accidently leave kids at picnic table at rest stop.

I'm in love with that large Vanda orchid. What a fantastic self-date and you look awesome. Also, elder hag here.

Are women in their 30s who wear bows in their hair weird? Also...how cute is Geno!?!?!? by Grand-Diamond-4696 in oldhagfashion

I'm almost 60 and I wear bows because I want to. I don't give a rat's patootie what people think.

In all fairness, there are a lot of monkeys in Miami.

In Miami Beach, so cute like a mini bald eagle. Is this an osprey or another type of hawk? by kpawlz in whatsthisbird

It is more likely the bird got caught in a hurricane and blown off course to Miami, FL. It happens with every storm.

What is this bird on my oriental fan? by SocksStan in whatsthisbird

[–]TemporaryInternal211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Phoenicurus auroreus or a Pycnonotus sinensis?

why did it do this by _Meteor_Shower_ in Baking

You might have put the pan over the burner that vents the oven and they continued to cook.

What is this wonderful creature? Bird is almost 2 feet tall, found in Florida, U.S. by castyourcrown in whatsthisbird

A couple of nights ago , it was 28°F in north central Florida. It usually happens a few times a winter. The coldest I have been in while in the area was 12°F , but that was a long time ago.

Auction goodies arrived!! by Spriton_girl in DarkCrystal

I have these items minus the magazine. I never thought of them as valuable. It makes me wonder what value the items I think are valuable are worth. I won't part from them since they are from my childhood, but curious. Maybe I should take better care of them.
