Intimate Photography By Amelia

it's like this ...

Today a suspicion has been confirmed.

My nose always leads me to the celebrity fragrances. Not the ones that seem all fancy and classy, I mean the ones you see and go "hmm...now they have a perfume too?!"

Yes, I love those.

Not purposefully. It's just how I seem to lean. Given two perfumes and a blindfold, I can guarantee I would choose the one made by a teen celeb over one, say by an elite designer label.

As I have purchased over the past few years... Hilary Duff, Paris Hilton, and Gwen Stefanie, I thought something was amiss with my taste. Today though, as I picked up a black bottle from the checkout counter of Sephora, I found a new scentl I love. Curious as to what it was, I then looked at the bottle.... the name scrawled across the front of the black bottle... Sean John.

So there you have it. My little scent-confession. Now I am off to scour the internet for the best price and hopefully score a bottle of this luscious new fragrance.

get fresh . . .

For those of you who have followed my blog for a long while, you might recall that Tuesday was a day I did this thing called "Self Portrait Challenge."

Well, I have decided to do reinstate this in my blogging habits.

May's theme is fresh.

Nothing about me feels fresh right now. I have an appointment to freshen my hair color and cut next week. I will be painting my toenails, next week. This list could get long, but for the sake of monotony I'm ending it. It is sufficient for me to say, this week is not my freshest week.

It dawned on me this afternoon, that there is one thing that gets fresh pretty often. Adonis.

What did you think; that my hands were really that hairy?!

My bum. His hand. Yep, that's getting fresh.

To see more "Fresh" self portraits, click on SPC. There is a lot of art there, so just don't peek around with kiddos watching. ;o)

masyn: on definitions

Masyn woke the other day in a really funny and talkative mood. While I was dressing for school she began to tell me that she had created a word and what it meant. Here is how our conversation went.

Masyn: Mama, I have a new word.

Me: Oh, really? What is this new word?

Masyn: Bring out the rum.

Me: (stifling laughter) Hmmm.. tell me about it.

Masyn: Well.... (emphatic pause) it's what you say when you are trying to reach someone, and you can't, and you are frustrated, and it's only 8:36 in the morning... you can say "bring out the rum."

Me: (holding my stomach and laughing without possibly restraint) Wow, that's very insightful baby.

Masyn: Yes, and if you need to say it while you are on the potty, you can say "Rock out the rum."

Me: (just laughter at this point)

Masyn: It also means "car," in Spanish.

I love this kid!

XOXO- Amelia

tag.

Let me preface this by saying-- "I break a lot of rules."

Okay, now that you know that, you can read on and see that I will accept tagging, but I do not pass it on unless you catch me in a particularly un-busy season of my life.... and that is not currently happening. So, I'll answer and play, but I can't pass it on as the "rules" instruct. ;o)

THE RULES:
1.) Link to the person that tagged you, and post the rules on your blog.2.) Share five (5) songs you are embarrassed to admit to others you like and tell why.3.) Tag 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.4.) Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their Blog.

THE SONGS:

Not in Order

1. See You Again - Miley Cyrus (because it kind of rocks, what can I say?!)

2. 1234 - Feist (it's so catchy)

3. In Your Eyes (?) - Jonas Brothers (yeah, too much Disney channel can warp a grown-ups perspective on music)

4. Cover Girl - NKOTB (this is my current ringtone for my phone, I roll old school)

5. Stupid Boy - Keith Urban (I do not typically enjoy country, but I really like this song)

Thanks Crystal for the tag, sorry I am not a good player! :o)

Tag #2 - Randomness about Amelia

1. I am allergic to tomatoes.

i now interrupt your drooling...

... to bring you this interview.

I was so honored to be featured in one of Cree's interviews! Thank you so much and I really hope you enjoy the candid moment. Cree is fantastic with choosing questions, and this interview was probably more fun for me than for anyone else. I am so grateful and flattered!!!

health and dallas

Two things in which I would have found great pleasure today.

To get the sad news out of the way, I am ill. Sick in the way that happens only once every couple of years. A mysterious ailment that brings with it a pounding migraine, a ore throat, fever, chills, and zaps me of all my strength. Yes, health would have been nice today.

Yet, I still found a silver lining while laying limp on the sofa...
Adam Scott (my Adam as I like to think of him affectionately), drained 48-foot putt in a sudden death playoff, to win the Byron Nelson. It was incredible!

It would have been SO much fun to be in Dallas today to watch this. We were glued to the television and I shouted with excitement when the putt went in, but the roar of the crowd in person and the celebration live..... now that would have been thrilling.

goofy picture for a goofy mood

I'm pretty much completely silly today. I dug up this picture of Evelyn from last year and it fits so perfectly with my mood.

I made a bet with each member of my family that they could not view this picture without laughing.... I won all three bets!

more favorites emerge

Tonight I am busily working on photos and trying to get things accomplished. I have to take this little break to share a couple more pictures from my photo session on Saturday.

I love this close up!

...and this one...

Please forgive me, I have another favorite with "the chair."

Good night!

magical magenta

A taste of the senior session I had last weekend.

Such a beautiful girl and she picked the perfect color to compliment her hair and skin, I just love the outcome!

My sister's chair that I LOVE...

Gorgeous headshot

One more favorite...

the many faces of evelyn

I took all of these right in a row, this is just a sample of how quickly Evelyn changes her expression.
