Key Lime Tarts are a sweet, creamy dessert treat I only recently had the pleasure of trying, but now I absolutely love them. They are very tasty and refreshing, perfect for the spring, and a bit of trivia I learned: Key Lime Tarts are so named because they were first created in the Florida Keys. […]
Snakeskin shoes, leopard print dresses, animal print accessories, safari-inspired clothing…I’m wild about animal prints, the hot fashion trend that features styles, patterns, and colors inspired by exotic beasts from the wild. I recently went shopping at Kohl’s specifically for items evoking this alluring fashion trend, and fell in love with an Apt. 9 leopard print […]
I love that dress! Super chic and stylish.
that dress is so pretty
Look at how cute you are!
That dress is cute!
That dress is just my style!
Very cute dress!
Very pretty!
Vavavoom!
Don’t know that I have ever been brave enough to pull the animal print look off, but it sure is cute.
Such a cute dress!
Looks like a really cute dress, Penelope … one of these days, when I lose the baby weight …. sigh.
luv it and would luv to see the front too seems like animal print are coming back in style
Love the print!
The link to my post on Kohl’s shows the dress from the front also 🙂
I know how you feel…I still have a ways to go!
Very nice dress.
IM not a huge fan of animal printsbut looks good on you!
Love animal prints!
How fun! I’ve never been brave enough to wear animal print – it’s a little bold for my style, but I like that dress!
Love the dress
Beautiful dress. I love the prints.
It looks so pretty on you! I love wrap dresses.
Great dress!
I love this dress!
I don’t think there is anything cuter than little boys playing with trains. I always pictured little man wearing a little conductor’s hat and saying “Choo! Choo!” while moving beautiful hobby trains around the tracks of an extensive train set. And you know what? He now does, and gets a real kick out of saying […]
Marilyn Monroe was an iconic beauty who truly embodied the feminine siren. Her life story ranges from spell-binding to tragic: how she charmed men, changed Hollywood, and sadly, spiraled downward as a result of being used and mocked by so many. I adore her still, and share my favorite words from one of the most […]
i love this website because i love marilyn monroe so much
Imagine what an empire this woman could have built for herself if she hadn’t been psychologically cannibalized by the men who ran Hollywood 50 years ago.
Not just a pretty face!
I couldn’t agree more! Her story is tragic (and she was seriously underpaid to boot)
I wonder what she would say about the world today… What was taboo in her time is now on prime time and we have come a long way in some areas (not so much in others).
I like all her quotes here
As a 29 year old male, I have to say, it’s unfortunate. SO much more beautiful than the sex symbols of today. All real, all natural, unafraid to be who she was. The original sex symbol, and there was still so much more to her beyond her raw physical appeal.
Some nice thoughts behind the quotes, but honestly this woman was nothing to idealize. And these quotes are used by every other unoriginal asshole who thinks it ‘speaks’ for them.
She had sex with numerous married men, changed her name, and dyed her hair to be more popular. Isn’t that what we criticize artists for doing today? Sacrificing their dignity for more attention?
And she wasn’t some ‘size 16’ – She was a size 8. She had big tits, and a big ass. That means she was lucky, not overweight.
And that song Elton John wrote for her sucked. Get out.
She wasn’t exactly “all natural” she admittedly had plastic surgery. People always want to forget that part…
So glad i discovered this website via stumbleupon,, Some great pictures here and some even better words !! love it look forward to the next..thankyou from mr plumber rochdale
Feminism is not about dominance but about equality.
How stupid does that sound? I am woman who wants my children one day to dominate over men; what if MLK said one day he hoped for his black children to look down on white children?
No, sorry. Marilyn Monroe was a beautiful woman, a great actress, but no philosopher. Women who seek to be equal with men are wonderful and ambitious.
me 2 they are moveing
the first one is soo overused, still good though… the last two are my favorite 🙂
Everyone see’s her as this “Model” but to my eyes, I see something so much far greater.
The first Marilyn Monroe quote is the best!
Uh, wasn’t she pretty much famous for selling her body, and being with famous men?
She is the 1950s version of Paris Hilton.
There are better women to idolize I think for instance Harriet Tubman or Ayn Rand.
Sorry if my opinion offends.
The woman had style and much more…hope she realized it.
Awesome quotes. Marilyn Monroe has so many memorable quotes. The third picture is so beautiful. She had such a bright smile.
Marilyn Monroe, is so right about many things… She had a lot of wisdom, even though she says that she’s insecure sometimes, I can’t understand the reason behind that, but what I noticed is that a lot of beautiful women have that in them, and actually, that makes them more down to earth and always aiming to improve themselves… by the way, did you know that her real name is NORMA JEANE MORTENSON …
AGREED!
AWESOME!!! WHO COULD SAY IT ANHY BETTER??? :))
This post brought to you by Scotts®. All opinions are 100% mine. It’s spring time, time to get out there and into our gardens! I love a beautiful lawn, and the single most important thing anyone can do for their grass is to feed it. I recently fed my front lawn Scotts Snap Spreader System, […]
That does seem full proof and I’m sure your grass is happy after the winter! Now you can enjoy it!
Love that spreader! It looks much easier than the one we have.
We use Scotts… we trust the brand.
The grass looks wonderful. We need to get moving to get ours healthier again!
I can really see the difference! Good review.
I love that it’s kid friendly and it looks pretty easy!
That looks like a great spreader, it truly makes a difference in what first off your putting on your lawn but how good the spreader is!
Your lawn looks great!! And what a fool proof system!!
I need to try something like this for my yard. I have a lot of brown patches.
Your lawn looks so good! I haven’t been able to use mine yet because it’s been getting too cold still at night. But I so can’t wait to use it! Love how fool proof it is and no mess!
Wow! You can see the difference. We are going to have to try it!
I love the spreader! So much easier than our current one.
wow, this system look so cool and definitely easy. I’m so surprised that just 9 days later you can see your grass filling in. did you have to lay this down and then water the grass at all or just leave it alone?
Looks like a great product!
Cool! I need to try that. Our lawn looks awful.
I’m definitely going to have to try this as our lawn looks terrible.
What a difference in just 9 days!
My husband put down “weed-n-feed” this past weekend — it really does wonders for a gorgeous lawn!
Wow, it sure showed mega improvement after only 9 days. That’s great!
9 days later and you can already notice a difference. I love scotts products and the spreader just looks like it makes everything easier. I’d love to be the envy of neighbors who call out those expensive Lawn company’s and convince them to Switch
I saw this spreader in a commercial and thought it looked very handy. It’s on my list to pick up in the next month of so because we need something like this to help our lawn.
Wow what a difference!!
Wow, it made such a difference in such a short period of time! Got to check that out.
Im lucky if I dont kill our lawn

My husband would love, love, love this!
Looks awesome! We need that!
I need to try this!
Oh my goodness, what a difference that made! We definitely need some of that on our lawn!
You can really tell a difference!! That is great!
