Seeing Double
By Silver Blue
Your moment of Zen. Yes, there IS a second rainbow in the photo, and it’s not an optical illusion. There was one storm, several years back, that rendered a TRIPLE rainbow, but alas I was sans camera for the event, and I’ve never seen one again.
Silver Blue, over and out.
Flashback…
By Silver Blue
….to a long, long time ago. Back when I first started blogging. On Moveable Type. Before WordPress. Fritz, of On The Fritz made these banners for me.
My tagline that I came to use for 5 years.
While I didn’t gossip, I liked the graphic.
Oh, the things your mother could warn you about! But would you listen? NO!
The 18 hour blog? LOL!
Though why one would have a barrel full of barbies is beyond me.
Even then, I was a HUGE Kylie Minogue fan!
Finally…the truest, cutest, and sky-bluest of them all:
Roxette Bunny™ – who at one time had her own blog as well, and seriously needs to get her bunny butt back over to RoxetteBunny.com and do some updating!
Silver Blue — who doesn’t long for days past, but enjoys time-tripping every so often. 🙂
Silver Blue, through the eyes of others.

I used to have an issue being in front of the camera, as I preferred to be behind the lens, due to my weight. What’s interesting is how other people perceive you. In 2002, I had a caricature done. Mind you, I know they’re supposed to exaggerate your appearances, but….
I am not fond of this one, though it is my dad’s favourite of the ones I’ve had done.
In 2011, I had two others done:
Biff, who drew this one, which really shows off how much weight I’d lost over the years, is my all time favourite. Then, I also had a pastel, which is supposed to be more “true to life” — but remember, these were all done at an amusement park, in the space of 15-20 minutes time. They’re not supposed to be “professional” quality, so I’m amazed at how close they actually come.
Danielle, who drew me through her eyes, managed to get my dimples and my eyes completely the way I see them. Not bad for less than 20 minutes!
Silver Blue – who sees the world through my eyes, but who also steps back and appreciates the way others see him through theirs.
A penchant for plush
By Silver Blue
Those who know me (or who used to follow the old blog) know that I have a great fondness for stuffed animals. I have had to declare a moratorium on acquiring them, however, lest I run out of room for myself.
This little fellow did all he could do to try to talk me into purchasing him and rescuing him from the retail realm:
Even with his intense cuteness, however, I had to resist the urge to add him to the menagerie I have at my house. The Siren Song they they seem to sing to me is very, VERY difficult to resist sometimes.
Eventually, I’ll introduce you those who did enter my life and have stayed around.
Silver Blue, wondering if the lil’ fellow found a good, loving home.
