  • Lori Peters

    Lori Peters

    It looks like you are a girly-girl, too. I love shoe shopping and must have all the latest colors in make-up. Beautiful portrait. xx

  • amanda marx replied

    i do like to do the “girly-girl” thing . . . it’s such a hoot, especially when i reflect on all the outdoorsy, sporting stuff i once upon a time loved so much, still do but in a way less physical way these days. hence my relatively new found, late onset feminine pursuits . . . i must get around to posting my 25 spontaneous things about me one of these days . . . some of those i’ve read from other bubblers have given such a brilliant snap shot of these beautiful artists . . . compliments their work to a tee
    cheers sweeetie
    will talk make-up colour & fashion movement soon, i’m addicted
