Bow done right

In contrast to Ms Longoria, this is how to wear a bow on your dress properly. Kristin looks fabulous here; the hair the jewelery. Stylist to Eva, take note.

What was she thinking???

Let's dish some Emmy dresses, shall we?

Ok, this is a hot woman, but please. Did she not have time to dry her hair? And that big bow???? That is almost as big as the one on my 80's wedding dress. The bag... does not match anything. Flapper gone wrong, girl! Is she hiding something????? Perhaps a bun?

Wednesday Night TV Recap

I agreed with the judges this time... Jerrell's outfit was the best. It was really cute and fit the task well. I could just see a graphic designer looking just like that. Kenley is starting to drive me crazy; I'm sure some of that is how the powers that be would like to portray her. I still wouldn't be sad if she left; her nasally tone and retro style is getting old.

I was so bummed to see Big Daddy go on Top Design. Should have been Shazia. I'll bet she's gone next week. Am I the only one or does India's voice make one want to jump off a bridge?

I missed AMTM.

Oh and apologies for the layout of this post. I've got to figure out how to get the image where I want it to be.

Hurricane Ike

What a crazy past couple of days! Even in Ohio, we were majorly affected by Hurricane Ike. The winds picked up just after noon on Sunday and what winds they were. Trees downed everywhere and by the time it was done, we had no power. Luckily our electricity returned yesterday afternoon after 2 days. Many still don't have it restored.

Here's what was fun about living without electricity:

• the neighborhood kids played outside for 2 days straight
• you can create some pretty good meals when you team up with your neighbors and grill out what you don't want to loose from your freezer
• families play games together
• not knowing what time it is
• the joy when the lights come back on

Here's what's not fun about living without electricity:

• no hairdryer
• throwing out everything in your fridge
• not necessarily from lack of electricity, but from high winds... finding your store sign in the middle of a major road
• bad people who take advantage of the situation

I'm so thankful that no one was hurt and that I have my power back on. After all, it's Wednesday, and you know what that means....

PROJECT RUNWAY!

Some hot titles! The book on the left, GWTW, belonged to my great grandmother. Everyone should read it! Tale of Two Cities... I have to admit; I bought it for book club and could not get through it. E.A.P.- one freaky dude. Shades of Our Ancestors- it's actually a book about silhouettes. It was my GG's and she had a fabulous collection of them.

My first blog!

I always said I wanted to have my own tv show. I would call it "Dish" and we would just sit around and talk about all things to do with the word "dish"... food, dishes, and gossip. Living in Dayton, I'm a ways off from that happening. Next best thing... blog!

So, how did I get from Dish to Recreate the Box? Honestly, all the blog titles associated with Dish were taken. And, I have this favorite montra which is "Don't just think outside the box; recreate the box." So hence...

Enjoy my new creative outlet!
