Love You, My Gorgeous Ghouls,

Come As You Aren't

Hey Dolls!

I cannot believe tomorrow's already Halloween!

I know we all say this…but where or where does the time go?

Insane!

I usually love dressing up, but this year, since nothing exciting is happening & it's pretty chilly here…I will be spending the night cuddled up with my B & my fur babies, fire blazin', movie watching…heaven.

In all the years I've dressed up though…I've never been something "all decked out"…like face paint & everything, and…I have always wanted to!

Next year…we will be having a Halloween Party, and I just might have to finally do it!

So since I want to live vicariously through all of you this year…I'd love to see your costumes & if you've ever had a face that looks like any of these…I'd love to see those too!

If you wanna share…tweet me a pic here, or if you don't have Twitter…you can post it on my Facebook Blog page here!

I would be so excited!

Also…you can totally comment below & let me know what you're gonna be!

I love Halloween & love seeing everyone all dressed up &...how creative you get! 

And on a more simple level, but still adorable…

I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday, & for all of my brand new Followers/Friends…I can't tell you how excited each of your adorable faces has made me & how truly grateful I am to have all of you here! Thank you…with every beat of my heart! I can't wait to get to know all of you better…and build forever friendships with you! 

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Have a beautiful day, Loves!

Oh & And If You Haven't…You Must!

Can't wait to see what you've come up with! 

Hurricane Sandy

I can't stop watching the news & my heart is breaking for everyone & everything affected by this horrible horrible storm! SO many homes, businesses, etc. I can't even begin to imagine. If you or anyone you love is close…I am so so sorry & I'll continue to say a million & one prayers for all of you! I know this isn't funny at all & NOTHING to make light of…but I just wanted to make you smile for even a second. 

So with that said…here you go...

And to take your mind off it even more…go ahead & dream about this bag.

In all seriousness though…

Here is my prayer for you.

"Dear Lord I ask you to protect the people and all surrounding areas from hurricane Sandy. Please keep them safe and free of harm. Please inspire and strengthen their courage. Please protect the emergency service crews as they help the public. I thank you dear Lord. I pray this in Jesus' name. Amen"

NOTHING But Love To You & For You,

I ♥ My Fellow Backwoods Barbie!

If you don't already know how much I love this girl…you can read all about it here & here.

But just when I thought I couldn't love her more…I see this!

Yeay! She got it! 

And her reaction & appreciation…LOVE LOVE LOVE & made my entire day!

I ♥ her for all the reasons I've always been a fan of Dolly!
For her uniqueness, her ability to "do her" & not give a s**t what anyone else thinks, and to never apologize or make excuses for being all dressed up/having her own style & living life to it's fullest! 

As Dolly would say…"If I have offended anybody...all I can say if tough titty!"

Trisha is my Dolly & in the ways of being "all done up" & having people (all my life) ask why…I can relate to Dolly and T…100%! 

Because I wanna be…that's why! 
It's in my blood.
It's who I am.

Imagine how much more beautiful this world would be if we all were so busy "being us" (our true/authentic selves)…that we didn't have any time left to judge others!

If you love to be all dolled up, great.
If you hate it, great.
That's the beauty of uniqueness.
That's what makes this world a whole Crayola box…instead of just black & white.

So…here's to all of us & being our own unique, wonderful selves!

Backwoods Barbie

"Grew up poor and ragged, just a simple country girl. 
I wanted to be pretty more than anything in the world,
Like Barbie or the models in the Fredricks' catalog.
From rags to wishes in my dreams I could have it all.
I'm just a backwoods Barbie, too much makeup, too much hair.
Don't be fooled by thinkin' that the goods are not all there.
Don't let these false eyelashes lead you to believe that
I'm as shallow as I look 'cause I run true and deep.

I've always been misunderstood because of how I look.
Don't judge me by the cover 'cause I'm a real good book.
So read into it what you will, but see me as I am.
The way I look is just a country girl's idea of glam.

I'm just a backwoods Barbie in a push-up bra and heels.
I might look artificial, but where it counts I'm real.
And I'm all dolled up and hopin' for a chance to prove my worth,
And even backwoods Barbie's get their feelings hurt.

I'm just a backwoods Barbie, too much makeup, too much hair.
Don't be fooled by thinkin' that the goods are not all there.
Yes, I can see where I could be misjudged upon first glance;
But even backwoods Barbie's deserve a second chance.
I'm just a backwoods Barbie just asking for a chance,
Just a backwoods Barbie."

Keep Shining, Trisha!
This world needs your light.
I ♥ You, Honey!
