WARNING When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
with a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
and satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
and run my stick along the public railings
and make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
and pick flowers in other people's gardens
and learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
and eat three pounds of sausages at a go
or only bread and pickle for a week
and hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
and pay our rent and not swear in the street
and set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
when suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

 Region 2 Queens' Council Black & Bling Event 8/1/09
 The North Carolina Region 2 Queens' Council held their first Annual Black & Bling Event in Lenoir, NC on Saturday, August 1, 2009. Of course the Cherubs were in the house! Hats off to Queen of Bling Margaret Forney and her Ladybugs! They did an outstanding job! Countess Faye, Sonia and I made the 4.5 hour drive, and it was well worth the trip. The mountain scenery was breathtaking and the final destination was elegance at its best!
Here are some random pictures we took at the event. Hope you enjoy them. If you see yourself in one, then know that you are lookin' good, baby!!!
