A Little Explanation

I just want to say that I am thankful for many things, but I am touched by the kindness of the eye Dr. whom is willing to see Sloan today for a reduced charge. I want to apologize for my lack of posts on truly creative things. I have a lot on my plate right now trying to get Sloans insurance back. Don't want to burden you with our drama, but I promise I will be back to my normal posting self as soon as all this blows over. Hope to post a little sneak peak on what I have been working on later tonight or early tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a beautiful day.

Thanks Lori!

Look what Lori over at Morning Glories and Moonflowers gave me! I love it. It is my very first award. Lori is hosting a giveaway to celebrate Halloween. So run over and leave a comment to have a chance at winning her darling handmade bracelet.

A Trip Down Memory Lane

My grammie, Rita Stauss. This was her graduation photo. Wasn't she beautiful? I should show a picture of her now. She is one of those ladies that gets better with age. Every year I think she gets prettier. Grammie started going grey when she was 21 years old. She had one streak of grey for the longest time and then went grey. I love her dearly and this picture is one of my most treasured earthly possessions. 

My Mom, Melodie Sloan. This was her graduation photo. I love this photo. My sister Cristin looks so much like her its down right freaky. The only way you can tell them apart is my sister has darker hair. I love my mom so much. She is a teacher. She is so very loved and many parents ask to have their children in her class. The crazy thing is she has taught for so many years that now she is teaching the kids of students she once taught years ago. My mom rocks. 

This is the only graduation photo I have of myself. I was kind of a stinker back in the day. I thought graduation pictures were "Lame" and so I never asked my mom & dad to get any. Our graduation was super special though, even if I thought high school was the lamest thing I ever had to endure. So in case you hadn't noticed the wet spot on the front of my pants yet I just figured I would point that out. No I didn't wet my pants. Graduation started at the local football field but due to a sudden downpour it was moved to a church, which was to small to fit everyone and then eventually moved to the school auditorium. Every student was soaked to their underwear. The dress that I was wearing shrunk as I was standing on the field. I had to give it away. So everyone changed quickly and met back at the auditorium so the ceremony could continue. Kids were wearing flip flops, shorts, all sorts of craziness. Me I wore my vintage sweater shirt with my favorite pair of bell bottoms and fake Berkie's. My gown was still soaked (everybody's were) because my gown was soaked it got my pants wet when I sat down. That my friends is why the only graduation photo of me looks like I was so excited to graduate I peed myself. Don't get me wrong I was excited to graduate. I will admit High school was my least favorite, but College was a perfect fit. As I look back I realize that I really don't have as many horrible memories as I thought I once did. 

*I have been working on art. Things are just crazy with Deans new work schedule. So I am having to rearrange how I work art in. Please don't give up on me. I hope to have some new art in the shop by the weekend. Hope everyone is enjoying the fall weather as much as I am.

My Bizarre Nose

Dean Swanson

Yes even before I fell for Dean, I always thought he had an amazing nose. I still stare at it on a daily basis and thank my lucky stars that his nose is as amazing as he is. I know, I am a total geek.

Jason Lee & son

I loved this, the whole father & son profile. How cute is that?

Jason Lee

Yes ever since Mall Rats I have lusted after Jason Lee's beautiful nose. Not only is he a talented actor, but an incredible artist, photographer, and at one time a professional skater. Sexy nose, amazing talent, what more could a girl want?

Jonny Depp

Need I say more? I think he's at his nose hottiest when he is in full pirate mode. Scruffy face and messy hair. It's almost too much to handle. Seriously, as Jack Sparrow his nose has never looked so wonderful.

Ryan Gosling

Most of you may have first spotted this lovely work of (possible) rhinoplasty in the very mushy lovey dovey movie The Notebook. Yes I fell hard for his beautiful nose right then and there. However I think his nose looks better as he has gotten older as witnessed in the movie Lars and the Real Girl. If you haven't seen it yet I highly recommend you take the time to check it out. You will laugh through the whole movie and maybe cry at the end like I did. It has now become one of my all time favorites. (Along with Ryan Goslings very perfect nose)

Patrick Dempsey

Oh and who could pass up McDreamy's very hot and perfect nose? So I know I don't have a McDreamy but I do have a McDeeny. (hehehehee) OK on to the next perfect schnoz.

Luke Wilson

I love it that he is in so many of my most favorite films. It means I can watch his perfect nose over and over and over again.

Adam Sandler

Ever since Billy Maddison I have thought he had the most perfect nose. It doesn't hurt that he's so darn funny. In college all my friends knew how crazy I was about Adam Sandler and his perfect nose, so my friend Kevin Lehman made a poster with a picture of Adam Sandler and on his shirt he put I love S.S. Then said posters were placed in every bathroom stall at the school. I still have the master copy. It is lamented and in my box of memories.

Gene Kelly

The grandaddy of hot noses. When I was a little girl I used to watch his movies. I seriously thought one day I would grow up and we would get married. I thought he was the hottest guy. I didn't really understand the vast age difference when I was 9 years old. I still think he is one of the most handsome men who ever lived.

Christian Bale

I saw Christian Bale when I was a little girl in the movie Empire of the sun. From then on out I have had such respect for this very talented actor. It doesn't hurt that he has such a perfect nose either.

Ray Lamontagne

Love the nose, love his music, love it! Seriously, have you seen a more perfect profile of a nose?

So their are many other perfect noses that have not been included for lack of pictures and time. However if I receive enough comments on this post, I promise to post more. I guess when all is said and done it is pretty safe to say I like big strong defined noses. So you might be scratching your head and asking yourself, why the strange obsession with noses? One day I will post some pictures of my crazy crooked nose. This my friends is the root of my obsession. That which we don't have, sometimes makes us want it all the more. So since I never will have a perfect nose, I enjoy looking at those who do.

Newest Illustration

I just started a new illustration. I will post some pictures of it later. Hope everyone is having a great day.
