So at last, we will be able to view just how touched up, and how true/honest photgraphs really are. This will add an interesting feature to view photographs which have been taken in the past, present and future :) I always wondered how some people
made themselves look to be so glamarous..but now they may not be able to get away with that lie any more.
Good job!

The end of November already. The ski slopes have no snow, and it is officially winter time. It was 13C here today and that is so unheard of for the beginning of December. Bizzare.
This weekend, I get to put up the Christmas decorations. That will be so neat, and my brother and his wife will be home on Friday albeit it jetlagged after coming back from the west in America.
I have loads to write about.. I am bubbling with excitement what with the holidays coming up. Strange getting so excited about having two weeks off, but I am! Just time to be me.. chill and be happy :)
COMMENTS
Christmas makes me feel this way too :D
I would never ski :)
I am happy that we're in 'the season' as well. If only it made more people happy instead of critical of everyone else that is trying to enjoy it.
My brother and his wife will be home soon from Las Vegas, and I really can't wait to see him as it has been a while! I also can't wait to see all the photographs of Las Vegas as it is one place that I have always wanted to travel to but have not yet achieved. I must mark that down on my to do list within the next few years!
COMMENTS
I've been there 3 times now. It's something else...
Las Vegas is great, but you never know what you'll encounter.
Awesome , I bet you need a stack o' cash!
This morning hails the start of a new project for me as I will be advising in the health care section, with my first attendance at the board members meeting this morning. Am I nervous? Well hell, yes I am.. Hence being up so early. Hubby, says I will ace it..but well we will see! It is going to be a challenging time for me working in the health sector but it is time to put into practise my access auditing skills, and exams that I gained from the University of Ulster. Pay is good.. Heh.
COMMENTS
You'll be fine ... take it in your stride!
You'll do very well. :) SHow your confidence, sugar!
Thanks .. I stuttered, and my speech wobbled a few times but I got by :) I hate those kind of meetings!
I'd like a new frock. One that is made out of leather, tie n' dye, lace and lacing... Hmm, I may have to draw the design if I can't find it in the hunt. If you see any like it that fits the bill let me know. Prefer to have it in brown leather than black, as black is a bit harsh for my Irish pale skin and reddish hair.
COMMENTS
In that case if has to be black! :-p
Nooooo.. you don't understand, my entire wardrobe is nearly all black already! Well, except for bluejeans heh.
In Dublin and fixing to go out to the theatre soon. :)
COMMENTS
What you gonna see?
Little Woman :) It was really enjoyable
Coming to the end of a real busy week, and I can see a horizon of peace and personal happiness. I have so much to be grateful for....and yet I am nothing, that I wonder why.
We had the, "Watchtower" gang around these parts last night. Do you have these people in your area, or is it just Ireland?
COMMENTS
Is that like the 'neighbourhood watch scheme'?
Yep, Jehova's Witnesses.
We have them here too E.
Was auditing in a Lycra manufacturers plant today when I went all jellied knee'd.. Just felt like a vampire had drained all the blood out of me! I am not very good at enclosed places, pipes, turbines, generators and vibrating floors.. Etc, etc. A true fish out of water. It made me feel so ill that I had to come home. Odd that, and it continues tomorrow.
The difference between men and woman....
COMMENTS
Works for me!
You mean there is only ONE difference!!!!!
Are ya sure?????
because I can count several!
And that's not counting the physical stuff!
Sensory: Men are visual (they get turned on by what they see). Women are auditory (they are turned on by what they hear, especially if they hear he has $$$$$$$)
Communication: Woman like to talk..... all the time. They will talk about anything, everything and NOTHING. They will even talk in their sleep. Men listen or at least pretend to... mostly because Women won't let us talk!
Sexually: Women need to focus on what they are doing... otherwise they never get to "finish" and that's because they are thinking of everything else but the sex they are having. Men need to focus on anything BUT the sex they are having.... or else we will finish early. Why do you think all Men are staring at the ceiling thinking about how many coats of paint it needs, but once we look down..... oops.
And that's just what I could think up NOW!!!!
Give me a week... I'll have more!
We are going down to Dublin again this weekend, and we have booked into the Gate theatre to see, "Little Women". As some of you are aware I adore the classics, and that is possibly why I found Rebecca Vaughan's performance in Austen's woman tedious as she over portrayed some of the characters in Austen's novels.
We didnt get our first choice of hotels this time around, but a new hotel will be something different, and besides they have a spa - grins- I feel a new set of gel nails growing on, and a yummy back, shoulder and head massage. :)
I found the performance of Rebecca Vaughan in the stage production of "Austen's Woman" so tedious that I almost fell asleep. How droll it must of been to be a woman in the 19th century. The only thing that amazed me was her memory and ability to talk so long!
All about fairies.. I wrote this some time back and put it in the forum in reponse to a person's quips there. I re-read it recently and it made me laugh some.. Enjoy :)
C****ye, it is ignorantly perceived that us Irish live in straw houses, eat fairy cakes, travel to work on horseback, and have no electricity but where on earth did you hear your “faq” about faeries from? Quote your Source. Beliefs about faeries require anecdotal evidence but they find their own jesters such as you spreading colourful ideas. I also find it offensive (but funny) that the Irish have been retarded by you into a fairy believing nation, while quite on the contrary we adore fairy stories just as much as any other nation in the world but in such a fanciful world we would believe in Santa Claus too!
I am wondering also under your own beliefs why there is not daily readings of Brothers Grimm in school, or why the Arch-Goblin of Dublin doesn’t hold Holy Mass on the official Fairy Rings. Or why there is a science such as aeronautics when the administrations of fairies could just spread their wings. Oh woe, how easy life could be if I had a wand.
COMMENTS
Yea.. I did have an imagination and humour back in those days heh! but that was pre-everything.
*giggles*
Obviously written before the great fairy wars :-p
LOL...stereotypes can be funny and damaging.
'Tis a bairn winter night with the chill winter wind blowing in under my door. But on the contrary it is a serene, loving feeling sitting here by the hearth of the fire with my heart warmed by the love of my husbsnd. :)

My hubby just bought me a pink baby-doll one piece with, spoiled rotten scripted on the front of it..heh, HE WISHES!!! Picture coming up later ;) Ummph, nope.. not with me wearing it hehee
COMMENTS
You gotta wear it ... I don't know what one looks like!
Hah noooooooooo!
An afterthought on yesterdays journal entry.. It may of been a good idea at the time to of consumed a vodka and lime before bedtime last night which may I say, was enjoyable. However, one thing I noticed you can drink alcohol to drown problems, but problems are darn good swimmers! Don't do it! ... Wise advise from Aunty Em :)
I have been reading around a few journals offline, and the contents of a few of the more popular journals appear to be full of sarcasm. But hey...Sarcasm is the body's natural defense against stupid so that figures.
I found this wonderful grey blouse with a retro fashion design which would look fabulous with my business suits. So, I bought it from the shop.. took my size hanger to the counter in the store, and paid the cashier. Took my new blouse home from Dublin and thought I would "save" it up for a special business occassion since it applied a real cool trendy but business retro look :)
Well... the big day came and I took it out of its wrapping and darnit I couldn't fit into it! I tried, and tried but to no avail I could not get it on. What on earth is going on?? eek, I can't have put that much weight on, I thought. Never to be beat, I tried again *tweak* *squeak* and again.. all shapes trying to twist in lol. Didn't work :(
Then I had a "smart" idea heh.. I'd look at the label! Some turd had put a size 6 shirt on a size 10 hanger! grrrrrr!! but, but... I DO have a sunny side up to this story, it gives me an excuse to get back to Dublin again to change it! hehehee but I will know next time to check the merchandise label before purchase lol!
It has been one of those days. Really. It is also 21.30 hours so, that means it has not finished yet. I want to hide under a rock somewhere..systems leave me alone damnit! I detest IT and admin, what a sufferance for me to ever be involved in that game.
COMMENTS
IT and admin ... as they say in LIon King, ''it's the circle of life''.
lol, what a circle too.. it makes me dizzy!
Who ever said being a professional is easy? Just got another subpoena for a court case next week to appear as an expert witness. In this court case it is for the defense. After all the sheer hard work, study and exams.. I guess it comes down to this! I loathe being put on the stand.
I want a big outdoor jacuzzi in front of a big log fire. Any woods nearby? I had an outdoor jacuzzi in a tub once... I slipped on the ice getting down near it, but it was incredible sitting outside in a toasty hot jacuzzi in the middle of winter! Nice warm towelling robe nearby..
Well, well, well you thief in the night.... I'd ask you to stop but I know how you would laugh that off, so how about a good hard nip on the ass? STOP
You know something? ..I am not a very happy bunny at the moment as we were meant to visit New Grange on the way home from Dublin, but sadly my leg just buckled and I couldn't walk another step in front of myself. I am at home resting now, wondering when I will receive the date of my operation. I am hoping it will be before Christmas.
Three days in Dublin, and I am exhausted! Just one more night so its down to the Westlin for dinner and then on to New grange tomorrow morning. New grange is older than the pyramids so that will be very interesting :)
I really thought that the movie, "Contagion" was going to offer something different than the usual "take virus, die, get vaccine quickly" movies, but gosh was I in for a dissapointment. By the time the movie flatlined after an over the top story, I was ready to leave the cinema. I would rate it a B, but wouldn't recommend it as it is just the same ole tired storyline.
COMMENTS
You're the ump-teenth person to say that. Decision made.
I never got to New Grange Bloodlife..at least this time around. I had walked around Dublin so much over three days that my legs just had enough of it! Roll on my operation :)
Boo! It's a pretty good concept, always done in a shockingly bad way which has made it by default, a pretty generic movie type that people don't want to see anymore.
There's always one person that's immune, there's always heart break and there's always a cure that's made at the very end, when half the population has been decimated.
I was gonna go see it.
Bleagh.
The aroma of coffee is drifting up to the 5th floor and through my hotel bedroom window.. So the day has started. Half sunny, half cloudy but its not raining in Dublin :)
We are going to see the movie Contagion this afternoon, and later tonight if we are not too tired go to a club. I am thinking the Hellfire club. ;)
My feet graced the streets of Dublin all day, and I just love it here. The hustle and bustle of city life, and the music of street life just thrills, and fills me with joy. I even see a leprechaun in Grafton street today! There is also a leprechaun museum ... If you have a problem believing this, let me know and if they are still there tomorrow I will take a photograph!
COMMENTS
seems to me Dublin was the one that was graced today !! enjoy your visit!!
Sounds like fun :)
Thank you, i adore Dublin :)

I remember seeing those photos in another article. It's their own (the artist's/photographer/photo manipulator) body image issues (understanding of what's 'good') that is off kilter. Even fellow photographers look at those shots and shake their heads.

Well, yes.. Manipulating photographs by airbrushing is deceitful, and just as bad as telling a fib. Thing is, some young healthy girls look at photographs like that and then end up dieting and developing anoxeria. In that respect, I am happy there is a call to regulate that industry as it was really just getting out of hand.
