Stop Waiting

Diamonds mean different things to different people. To some, they are a symbol of love. To others, they are a symbol of strength. However, most of us want them, & eagerly await the perfect Diamond Engagement Ring long before we’ve met the right guy. It’s good to have something to look forward too, but it’s an entirely different thing if you are just blinded by the prize.I actually bought my first piece of diamond jewelry for my high school graduation. I did this because I wanted a diamond, & was sick of waiting for it. It was an odd sense of empowerment. If you want a three stone diamond ring, buy one for yourself as a right hand ring to remind yourself that you are special. My diamond jewelry is now symbolic of getting what I want out of life. I still look forward to that sparkly engagement ring, but now I have something to tide me over in the meantime.

Pure & Complete Awe

As a princess wannabe I have my inspirations. These are people that I think about when I want to do something decidedly unprincess like such as flip someone off, (it’s not my fault that it’s fun).

Ironically, most of my inspirations aren’t princesses. I want to be able to combine someone’s charity with someone else’s beauty & another person’s sense of humor. Lately, I’ve gotten into painting pop art, because I think it’s a great place to start. I was getting frustrated trying to be Monet. The obvious subject for pop art was Audrey Hepburn. Her face is so symmetrical, & she had such a unique style. Even more than that, she always seemed to radiate something & I still haven’t been able to figure out exactly what that is. I’m just looking over my paintings trying to figure it out. Who is your princess inspiration?
