Happy Thoughts #4

#9 Architecture- I just love it- I love going to a city that I have never been to before and strolling around town looking at buildings. A city's architecture tells a whole story on the city it's in. I love how the designer puts in so much detail, it's an art I can absolutely appreciate...

#10 Television- I really think i'm a reality T.V. addict! haha! I get so emotionally involved in each show! The show's I like are Kardashians, Holly, Kendra, Real Housewife's of Beverly Hills, Lock-Up (yes i love lock-up surprisingly!) Pit Boss, Jon & Kate plus 8 (now it's just Kate plus 8) Real World challenges, oh do you guys remember I love money?!? what happened to that series of reality shows!? I miss those ones ): I also love cartoons like South Park, Family Guy, Aqua Teen.. I also like Food Network & History...Any t.v. show there is really

 #11 Animal's- I did not have a dog growing up, I had a parrot growing up- Candy. he was soo cute! He was an amazon parrot- he talked and laughed, and danced to music, he would even play tricks on us! haha, he was hilarious! When I lived in Nevada I had a puggle/boxer mix named Bugga! You wanna talk about the cutest-ugliest dog? He breathed really heavy and he was attached to my hip all day long! he was my baby! his voice was the cutest! I miss him so much! I love how animals have larger-than-life personalities- they are like humans. I hope I can adopt one soon.

#12 Pin-Ups- I think it comes from my obsession w/ old Hollywood. I also love photography of women. Pin-ups are so intriguing. There's something about a strong women standing up for what she believes in and back then this photography was very controversial. I can totally relate to the pin-up ladies

 #13 Comedy- Haha! Laughter is the best medicine! I love watching stand-ups to name just a few- Dane Cook, Jo Koy, Katt Williams, Kevin Hart. I also love all of the comedians on the round table (Chelsea). Anything funny I appreciate. It really is the best medicine, me and my boyfriend can just laugh for hours, you know that laugh that make's your stomach hurt? I can (try) to find the comedy in everything.

#14 Fashion- If I ever had a chance to go to any kind of fashion week, i think I would literally die!  I love watching the red carpet things they have on E! I mean fashion is so fun! You get a chance to dress up yourself and play with all the new trends, I just love fashion- another great art-form.

#15 Life- You thought i was gunna flowers, didn't you? I do love flower's because they are just beautiful, they smell so fresh, (and spring is my favorite season). But when I see flowers to me they represent life. Kind of like how babies do, they grow so fast and they are so... ALIVE! lol no but really there's something nostalgic about flowers for me, For some reason they make me reminisce.. just love 'em.

Happy Thoughts #2

                              #2   I LOVE Old HollyWood

 

   #3 I Love Back Lots. 

 I obviously have only been to a new back lot but I wish I could visit the original MGM where Meet Me In St. Louis, or Little Women were filmed. They are the coolest if you've never been to a backlot- GO! For me it was one of the most amazing experiences, As you might know my major is Architectural & Interiors and my influence was a Hollywood backlot. I was always debating between designing real houses or set design, movie design. IDK what it is, i've just always been intrigued to this sort of stuff. I wanna know whats behind every door sort of thing!   

Did You Know: The Boone Hall Plantation is the inspiration for the Twelve Oaks in Gone with the Wind and the plantation is where Ali's Summer house from The Notebook is filmed. On the Grounds of the Plantation there are slave houses still standing - creepy right?

                                 A Shot from Gone with the Wind (which is actually a painting)

                                                       Boone Hall Plantation

 At the end of the drive-way (they say "mile long oaks" I do believe That's where you will find Boone Hall Plantation a.k.a. Ali's summer home! 
I found all of the Fun Fact info at HookedOnHouses.Net

Happy Thoughts #1

#1 Las Vegas (these are in no particular order)

Me When I Lived In Vegas- '07

A few years back I lived in Las Vegas & im from Ohio so its clear across the country. I went to International Academy of Design & Technology and thats when i worked at Victoria's Secret and I also worked at Sheri's Caberet. As my first experience leaving home, this is one of my Happy Thoughts. Its a serious land mine of opportunity and inspiration for art & design- Its more than drinking and gambling. With a true obvious bizarre side. I think I actually gambled maybe twice while I was there. Its a place where Dancers are not called strippers, they are taken seriously. A place where anything you could possibly want to do is achievable (as long as you want it bad enough) & the 2nd to the best thing... Sun. Im a sunny-side up type of girl. Now for a drum roll please! - The view is to DIE for. You havent been to Vegas if you have never left Las Vegas Blvd. If you visit, make a trip anywhere 10 minutes out. Henderson is the closest place and it is worth it! *Wait until sunset or night time. Your gunna be happy you did (:

A Pic. My Room-Mate Took One Night

 I remember we were doing this thing at school one day and the question we were supposed to answer was "when you picture Serenity, what do you think of?" I alot of people said at home, or with family & i mentioned one night I coming home from a friends house (when i was in Nevada) at 6 in the morning, driving away from the moon which set perfectly on top of the mountains. I didnt have a camera which i regret because in my rear-view mirror, in broad day-light, that was the picture...esque. I remember thinking i was going to remember that forever and i did. I wish i had it to share!

The way i like to describe Vegas at night, is imagine a bowl of lights and the mountains as the bowl

You see the mountain off in the distance on the left? isnt it beautiful?!
