Clubhouse Catch up | Clubhouse Icons | Wise Words

Hello Darlings!
I've been gone far too long
but there has been so much going on
Family troubles & preparation for my biggest show yet has kept
me from you all
But I've been here in spirit.

However I've come back bearing goods
because what kind of Darling would I be
if I didn't
That wouldn't be proper clubhouse protocol
lol

Okay 1st & foremost
whose been tuning into
Mad Men
?!?

I definitely have
& I've also been reading around the net
& it seems that they're marking
Megan Draper
The go-to gal for style this season
& justifiably so

Watch the new Mrs. Draper giving a birthday performance of a french tune for Don

in what's become a season favorite

I'm really getting into the new season 

It's starting a bit slow 

however it's still enchanting enough for me to find myself engrossed.

Clubhouse Icons | Profound Truths | Betty White

Hello & Happy Monday
While out strolling around 

cyber city 

I recently ran across 

a familiar face 

No introductions needed right 

at this point unless you've been living in some emo pod 

beneath ground for the last 100 years 

chances are you know 

Betty

!

It seems Betty has been spotted out recently 

spouting 

highly comical, oddly riveting, and profound truths such as the following 

“Why do people say, “grow some balls”? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you want to be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.”

or how about this one

“Oh, I don’t need sleep. I just went to my hotel and had a cold hot dog and a vodka on the rocks.”

and then there's this

“Well ladies, as I used to say to My loving husband, Irving, of 55 years… what are you waiting for, stupid? Eat it.”

and of course we can't leave off without posting this one 

“I didn’t know what Facebook was, and now that I do know what it is, I have to say, it sounds like a huge waste of time.”

LMAO 

Gotta Love Betty Right

!!!!!!

Clubhouse Icons | Maya Angelou | Clubhouse Book Club | Letter To My Daughter

Hello Guys & Gals

thank you for making your way back too

'The House Of Darling'

*

I want to share something about myself with all of you

I am a 

BOOK LOVER/ AVID READER

I get lost in books

I find that they activate my imagination 

and strengthens my minds abilities

One of my all time favorite people/ authors/ poet is 

no one other then the ever endearing 

Dr. Maya Angelou

Her autobiographical series:

'I know why the caged bird sings'

'Gather together in my name'

'Singin' & Swingin' & Gettin' Merry Like Christmas'

'The Heart Of a Woman'

'All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes'

'A Song Flung Up To Heaven'

have all been read by me & each of them are on my list of favorite & MUST read books

*

A book of hers that I haven't explored but I do have in my possession 

& I am preparing to read is 

'Letter To My Daughter' 

Here is a short video in which she introduces the book back in 2008

This book isn't just dedicated & wasn't written for any one type of woman 

It was created with love for all women

I do hope that you gals will pick it up & perhaps we can discuss it a bit later 

I will post significant points that I find in the book along the way

I also recommend that you all read her autobiographies if you haven't already 

& 

should you never read a book by her 

at the very least always remember these words

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” 
― Maya Angelou

“A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.” 
― Maya Angelou

“I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.” 
― Maya Angelou

“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” 
― Maya Angelou

“I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way (s)he handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.” 
― Maya Angelou

When a reporter asked Rita Hayworth “What do you think when you look at yourself in the mirror after waking up in the morning?” she replied “Darling, I don`t wake up till the afternoon."

Happy Sunday

Clubhouse Icons | Clubhouse Invitations

All the way up until 

fairly recently 

I believed that I'd been born in the wrong era.

However I've found that 

there are many portions 

of modern day times 

that actually interest me 

Like that which my passion/profession is built on

for instance,

Hip Hop.

In any event 

my imagination often runs away to the past 

and is fueled by 

people, places, and situations 

that are aged but golden.
