My Mother's Leopard Scarf Intervention

While taking a walk with my mom , we both need it for our physical therapy. She looked at me with motherly concern and said , How long you had that leopard scarf ? I've had it about 3 years , I think you should change it up dear. When I go on your Facebook your in allot of pictures with it. You have so many beautiful scarfs why don't you switch it up. I felt like we were having a Carrie Fisher / Debbie Reynolds type of interaction. I really wasn't feeling that great with sass , I replied to her no one cares but you. She continued you don't even match ? " Mom its 2018 no one matches "

 Let me share the pictures that spawned the debate over my leopard infinity scarf . Let me disclaimer this post by saying the identity of my friends in these photos have been protected. Also I didn't send out permissions for release. forms.
( Please let me disclaimer this post , It was written in fun and humor )

My cousins son and leopard scarf 

  She has a point there are more photos , avid readers of this blog will probably find more. I guess at some point you just have to realize that your mother might be right. Even that you are 43 and know everything. I agreed to retire my dear scarf for a bit . I thought I was the scarf like Kate Middleton's Jeans     What is your most photographed article of clothing ?

My Favorite Denim Jacket ( Magic Jacket )

My Magic Jacket in HollyWood 

My denim military jacket was an last minute impulse purchase for a trip to LA . I was going to study avante guard makeup for one week. I had never been to LA before , being overweight made me even more nervous. I honestly was afraid to even land in LAX  thinking they wouldn't let me in. My fears were relieved when I saw other overweight people on the plane. I am an intelligent women so it even surprised me that I was nervous. I had a bizarre time in LA still don't know what to make of it . The class was cut short for unforeseeable reasons. So I was left in LA not knowing a soul at that time with 4 days to kill. My jacket took on a life of its own.

 This jacket was the ice breaker that helped me survive the trip to LA . People would start talking to me because they loved my jacket. ( I'm from a city were if random people talk to you they want to rob you, I kept my street smarts about me yet was friendly)  This culminated in a tourist family taking me under there wing for a day. I am always grateful to them made it a nicer trip. ( still bizarre on so many levels )

Since then this jacket not only goes with everything it has opened doors. New York City people actually talk to me when I wear it . In Phoenix Arizona I got asked for a drink with a really hot guy at the airport. When I wear it here at home people smile at me. I have gone down about 5 dress sizes yet the jacket still fits. Its  like my magic jacket for some reason. Do you have a statement garment or accessory that is like magic ?   My cousin in Tucson has a hat that no word of a lie looks good on everyone. If you don't think you got a hat head. This hat is magic it will look good on you. That was a random side note just because its how we do things here at Pop Trash Beauty.

"My art is about showing the intrinsic complexity and beauty in these everyday foods,"she says.  ( via http://artifactsoflifestore.com/ )   

 

Fruit and Vegetable Parchments are fused to pure tarnish-proof copper and glazed with a nontoxic, lacquer-like protective finish. The copper shines through the brightly colored fruit and vegetables giving a warm, enamel-like glow. All jewelry is lead and cadmium free.
