My Pinup

I’ve never been a poster kind of girl.  Even as a kid, rock stars and movie studs didn’t grace my walls.  

Just wasn’t my thing.
I’m not one to cut out fashion from magazines or tear out pictures of ‘must haves.’
Until I saw this.

I now have my first pinup.  Please do not tell my hubby.
It’s private.  He wouldn’t understand.  Envy is green, my friends.

Isn’t he  beautiful?  This is my secret love.  
We’ve been seeing each other for awhile.  I dream of the day we can be united.  
I love his order.  His beauty.  The sheer magnitude of such greatness.
Every time I step into my closet, I see this:

Frightening, isn’t it?  If you must hide your eyes from the horror, I understand.
There is no pattern, no right way.  It screams wrong, all day long.  I long to bring order.  
With all those wire hangers, I make Mommy-Dearest look sweet.
I dream of closet greatness.  I yearn for the day of color-coordination and clothes chronicled like the Dewey Decimal System.   
I have a pinup.  That’s a start.

Kristen

    Dude, the wire hangers have got to go!

    You’re a big girl now….save the wire ones for roasting marshmellows or making rabbit ears for the TV.

    Ikea has wonderful (inexpensive) wooden ones. I’m sure Walmart does too!

    Heather is right….you soooo need to 86 the wire hangers. Nothing screams MOMMY DEAREST like a wire hanger!

    See, now looking at all those hangers brings out my OCD in the worst way. I, BADLY, want to reach through the computer and space them all evenly apart and line up the clothes by colour and type. Yeah, I’m a true freak, but I’ve embraced it. It throws my own little personal world axis off it’s balance if my hangers aren’t an equal distance apart and the clothes aren’t organized at least by colour.

    I let the hubby have a go at organizing the closet…ONCE. That was all it took. I almost went to a divorce lawyer that very same day. He had my skirts mixed in with his rugby shirts, and his long sleeve button down shirts next to his jeans. My left eye twitches uncontrollably when I recall that day. Not only that…he had print shirts mixed in with the solids!!!!!!! The horrors!

    It’s a wonder that I even let him go into the closet by himself any more.

    That closet is to die for. But what I really enjoyed seeing was the fabulous photo of your children with the bluebonnets!

    It’s beautiful, but all my clothes would not fit in there! I would have to have one in all three closets. Yes, I have three closets full of clothes. I hang my head in shame.

    You have me drooling. My 3′x4′ closets just can’t perform at that level.

  13. 13

    (I’m talkin’ about the second pic, but I wish I was talkin’ about the first one!)

  15. 15

    Nicole says:

    Amen to that pin-up! Can someone make a cheap version of exotic closet organization? Please?

  17. 17

    Let’s be real. Can ANYONE’S closet look like your dream pin up FOREVA???

    I think not – - – and if it does they either 1) Have way too much time on their hands or 2) Are stinkin’ rich and hire maids and butlers to keep everything just so for them.!!!

    As people begin to age the gods employ corrupting tactics. They ultimately begin to look down on the children and the wisdom they recently understood:::
    They voluntarily turn their back on their opportunity to ascend and instead embrace evil.
    It’s not old people who go to heaven. Old people must come back because of the mistakes they’ve made throughout their lives. Children are the ones who have the opportunity to ascend.

    Children are discounted by adults in society. The gods corrupt people as they age, use trust-building tactics and soon adults view the children as ignorant, yet to understand the god’s system, and subsequently look down on the children. This is one of the most bitter, painful ironies the gods employ, for people consciously turn their back on and lose their opportunity to ascend::::
    Religions teach that old people to go to heaven when they die. They don’t. Old people are reincarnated. It’s the children who go to heaven.
    The wisdom the gods impart to children, either through their innocence/purity or religious-based educational pursuits are the gods sharing the truth with their most favored people::::It’s the children whom the gods teach the right way for it is the children who have a chance. For example, they teach children to have faith, for understanding the god’s geographical clues hurts people by illustrating negative things, opening the door for the god’s to employ deceptive tactics.
    Old people don’t go to heaven. Old people must come back because of the mistakes they’ve made throughout their lives. It’s the children who have the opportunity to go to “heaven”. They must behave apprioriately, think correctly and be genuinely god-fearing. Their innocence and lack of desensitization ensures they have a real opportunity to achieve this goal.

    This is charecteristic of the gods methodology::::The big prize gone early, deception compels people to chase something that has already been decided. They sent this clue with boss as well. It is also a clue supporting my claim RW&B;’s german is in fact Christianity’s Anti-Christ. Logic also dictates, considering the definition.
    The confusion over this multi-dimentional positioning will serve as an effective tactic, eliminating many additional disfavored in the process, for positioning states the Apocalypse to be a continuation of WorldWarII’s Aryan superrace ideals, positioned as punishment for the 5th century invastion of the Roman Empire:::John’s Fourth Reich.
    This amounts only to “nested theater”:::::Levels of positioning enables the gods to scapegoat:::::RW&B; merely is the tool the gods chose to execute the final scene of their scripted theater that is human history.

    Females are better people than males
    Historically the role of females was as enforcers of decency. Men have god’s disfavor and enagage in behavior damaging to themselves and their families. Women who adhered to this crucial role helped the men understand and avoid inappropriate behavior while enhancing decency in their domestic environment. These women sacrifice to help the disfavored:::They are like Jews, scattered throughout Europe to help the misled Christians.
    Many disfavored groups embrace “paternalistic superiority” and believe the men are “entitled”::::;If Italian women tried to enforce decency the men beat and raped them.
    The gods subsequently used this Italian charecterisitic to corrupt other morbidly disfavored groups, legitimizing this and other associated behavior.

    They said HW was a “traitor”, established with the airplane incident during WorldWarII. As we witnessed repeatedly in the 20th century, these incidents ocurr to initiate a legacy and pave the way for a far more significant events in the future::::
    If true this legacy would recurr in W’s administration::::
    Rebate checks on the way into and out of office are both bad signs.
    Signing on to Iraq to eliminate Saddam and 4,000 Americans is another clue.
