Intense and overwhelming triptych painting by Netherlandish artist Bosch.

Worlds of detailed surreal scenes are portrayed- from the brightest, most paradise-like moments, to the darkest, most somber shadowed existence. Throughout it all the constant of elaborate weirdness remains. So magical, you can stare at it for hours!

Haunted days...

It's a nice day for a...

Wish I could've gotten married in this Alexander McQueen dress- minus the head lace, and not so red....I guess! :)

My favorite piece of vintage jewelry, and by far the best hand-me-down ever: the silver bunny rabbit & unknown gem egg ring! Given to me by a roommate many moons ago...never to leave my sight!

This is where it begins...but not where it began.

My everlasting love of vintage clothing has been around since I was about fifteen (in the early 90s), and through twists and turns and adventures playing dressup, spanning almost all decades past, that love still occupies my every day...
