V Day

I don’t do Valentine’s Day.  I think the only time I sent Valentines out was when I was in lower school (so that’s third grade and below), frankly under duress. There was candy involved, though, so I would generally get what remained – nice incentive at that age!

I just don’t think anyone should feel obligated to do something nice, let alone nice AND sappy, just because the calendar says so – therein lies my distaste for what it’s become.

Funnily enough, though, a Facebook memory popped up of this (incredibly rare form!) photo.  It was taken many moons ago, rather in defiance of the 14th, and very much with a mocking tone.  

I do have a lot of friends in pin-up and vintage automotive photography so it was equally a (positive, in this case, however) nod to them.

I guess we all have skeletons, right?  With red heart-shaped glasses and red lipstick, in my case!

Lime Crime True Love

Right in time for those who celebrate Cher Cupidon’s Day…

Lime Crime is introducing three new shades in the True Love Collection inspired by…but of course…the luscious petals of roses:

  • Cupid – soft petal pink
  • True Love – vibrant pinky red
  • Saint – deep cranberry red

The set is on sale for $44.00, currently (usually $60.00.)  Personally, I think the colors are right on – vibrant, richly pigmented, and noteworthy.  Happy, Happy to those with bold hearts! ❤
