ReplyDeleteWow, you look STUNNING in that photo! Thanks for sharing about yourself! I also always cry at the end of strictly ballroom and totally adore Priscilla!!
ReplyDeleteI love Indian food! And I refuse to even attempt to parallel park. Thanks for sharing this, I always love finding out about the little random facts that really make a person who they are.
ReplyDeleteClare,
ReplyDeleteI have seen red and white Belairs and they are just gorgeous! I would love to have a vintage car! Maybe one day!
Thank you so much for your lovely and sweet compliment, Brittany! The photographer, Tim Coburn, is a magician!
ReplyDeleteIsn't "Priscilla" just the best!? I love that movie and I can even quote it! I love the scene when the boys/girls go to the tacky inn with all the painted walls! I also love the scene where the girls go to the bar and the ugly, mean lady tries to shut them down and Bernadette just puts her in her place and then all the "good ol Aussie boys" laugh!
Nicole,
ReplyDeleteI have a crazy obsession for Indian food for sure! I could eat it every day and never get tired of it! I mostly eat vegetarian with the occasional fish in my diet so Indian food with its lentils, chickpeas, cauliflower, and paneer is so perfect for me!
