Hey Family I know I have not been posting much sleeping and eating have been priority #1.
This has been such a great year. I feel as if each year is getting better and better. So many valley and mountain top experiences. I would not trade any of them. Without one there could not be the other.
Thank you all for sharing part of my fashion and private journey and if the Good Lord wills I'll see you all next year.

What a wonderful wrap up! That Jackson 5 mural is amazing - I was SUCH a fan of theirs when I was a little girl.
I wish you all joy and happiness in 2017, you fabulous woman.
Ledonna N. replied 7 years ago
The Jackson 5 group was where it was at. That was a birthday photo shoot I gifted to myself may of 2016.
I cannot wait to see what 2017 holds for all of us.

You truly have art worthy style and whoever takes your pictures really captures the essence of your style through photography. #2, 7, 9, 13, 18, and 21 are works of art within themselves. And the most wonderful photo of all, #22, is the best reason to look forward to 2017!
Ledonna N. replied 7 years ago

LOVE these! You are the human personification of a coat of many colors: you look like a retro rockstar in #2, like you should be in Romancing the Stone or really, any 80s adventure film in #7. You're a disco glam goddess in #8. You're a queen in #15, and a take-no-prisoners force to be reckoned with in #20. I feel like you should be on a mountainside singing in #21.
And because I am not on these forums nearly enough, who is the cutie pie in #22 ???
Ledonna N. replied 7 years ago
Kkards & La Belle thank you both very much.
A couple of the omrs you mentioned were taken by a friend of mine for my birthday last May. I always fwlt beautiful bit I wanted to express my idea of beauty.
I had a vision of a futurist photo shoot like the movie. Thunder Dome with Mad Maxx or excape from New York. I wonder ed how I could translate my everyday thrift fashion into an apocalyptic walking fead photo shoot. It was so fun.
This is my life away from work.
Picture 22 is my first miracle baby due April 14-22 of 2017. I will be 43 when she is born. Right now I'm calling her little nugget.
