Christmas Presents!

Good Morning Lovely Readers!!!

I finally have the pics I need today!

I got so many awesome things for Christmas!  I hope you all did as well!

Highlights are as follows:

Mom got me a Caruso Steam hair setter I've been wanting for a LONG time!  It's supposed to be way better at really locking in the curl!  My hair HATES to hold a curl, and I like to go curly or at least start curly when I do pin-up!  Can't wait to test it out!

She also got me Pioneer Woman's Cookbook!  YAY!!!

 Cassie, my sister, got me a cast iron skillet!  Oh I have wanted one of these for YEARS!  and never wanted to spend the money one one for myself!  So many things I want to cook, and so little carb-eating time!!!

 My father-in-law got me and Rob a headset radio thingy (can't remember proper name) for when we are riding our motorcycle!  It's so cool.  you can plug your cell and mp3 player into the system, and listen to music while you ride.  Then if your cell rings, it will cut in on the music and allow you to take the call!  We can also talk to each other via the mic, and can talk to my father-in-law, even if he's up to a half mile away!


Then there's what Rob got me.  I flat out refuse to give Rob a wish list for Christmas!  Why you may ask?  Because he gets me the BEST gifts without my input!  This year was no exception!  He got me a Fantastic Psychobilly Halter top! I cant show you that yet, cause I had to exchange it for the next larger size.  He got the exact one that would be perfect for my measurements, except it's made to be very tight, and that makes me a bit uncomfortable, so it's on it's way back to Cali for the next larger size.

He also got me this:  (The top and shoes are NOT new)

 

Isn't it adorable!!!!

 A Poodle skirt and Crinoline!!!!

He got me the belt that goes with it too, but I forgot to wear it for the pics.

I've wanted a poodle skirt for a while now, but oddly never even told him I wanted one!  Is he good or what!

The skirt is BRIGHT magenta pink!

When his dad saw it he looked at Rob and said "well, now you'll never lose her at a car show!"

It looks so good with the halter he got me too!  I'll show you when I get it back!

So that inspired a mani!

I started with 2 coats of Rimmel "Pulsating", since it nearly matches the skirt!

Then I applied my french tip guides and painted the base black, using Wet and Wild "Black Creme"

I did it this way so the tip would look more 'polished'.  If I apply the guide, then the base, then remove the guide and freehand the tip, it sometimes looks gloopy.

Then I got a toothpick and added some polka dots!

Don't mind the ding in the index nail.  I hit something and it dug out a chunk of polish, I just patched it with a bit of black polish.

Well, that's it for today my wonderful readers!

I hope you have a marvelous day!
