the best things about this weekend

the one being confirmed looked a bit like a mermaid
even her dress was mermaid-y
which is entirely appropriate in the land of the little mermaid
beautiful table settings
a view like this from the party location
proud father giving a funny, yet touching speech
these two sisters of the konfirmand
children playing well together across all ages
this cake
getting lots of good prezzies
kick-ass eyelashes
doodling on the piano in the waning hour of the party
hearing hilarious tales of life at sea
and did i mention the view?
fresh homemade strawberry lemonade in the sun
enjoyed together with grilled apple & thyme sausages
getting these flower beds totally tidied up
hope your weekend was glorious too!

obsessed with eyelashes

when i was in singapore in september, i noticed that lots of women were wearing false eyelashes as a standard part of their makeup and i wondered if that was fashionable in other parts of the world. for me, it started at halloween, when i bought long purple eyelashes for my halloween costume...


right after that, i went to the philippines where i found a store that was pretty much all eyelashes--ones with feathers, ones with sparkles, blue ones, green ones (sadly, they wouldn't let me take a picture). and now, i find myself putting some on even when it's not a special occasion (tho' not every day, it's not THAT bad).

and now, i just read in the nytimes that the folks who brought us botox are going to introduce a new drug that promotes eyelash growth. i know what you're thinking, julie, you're in your early 40s, you shouldn't be concerning yourself with such things, when will you ever grow up...and you're probably right. but i just can't help it. eyelashes are just so fabulous. i always feel a little bit marilyn when i put them on. and that's always a good thing.

EDIT:  i just had to add this wonderful fact that i just learned on this website (thank you google for eavesdropping on all of my mails and giving me links) to this eyelash posting:  legendary silent film director D. W. Griffith invented false eyelashes in 1916 for his film intolerance. now how cool is that?

just the eyelashes

i haven't packed a thing, it's 10:37 p.m. and i have to head for the airport at 7:30 a.m. tomorrow, so just two quick pix of the highlights of the halloween party (more tomorrow from the lounge in AMS)...and ok, so the highlights are all about ME. :-)  or maybe they're about the eyelashes.

seriously, i think i'm going to wear them all the time...
