I am one of those people who couldn’t care less about designer clothes. Paying a lot of money just because clothes are of a certain brand or from a certain designer is a waste of money in my opinion. If I happen to like something, I would see if I could get a knock off somewhere for the simple fact that I don’t want to fork out a lot of money just for the name or brand. Call me a cheap skate, I don’t care!!!

There is a reason why I shop at vintage shops and that reason is that at the end of my money I still have a lot of month left. I wish it was different, I wish I could go into any shop and just pick something off the rack without looking at the price tag first. But it isn’t and I learned to deal with that.

But then I discovered Ed Hardy and oh boy… It is pretty, oh so pretty! No, I don’t care about the brand or the designer, but I love, love, love the vintage tattoo style clothing. The only thing I don’t like about Ed Hardy is the prize tag. $100+ for just a t-shirt is a bit over the top I think. So I’ve been doing some thinking. One of our best friends is a tattoo artist and he’s given us many of his art work for free (yes, he’s a real good friend). Maybe we could get some of his art work printed on clothing with his permission. That would be so pretty and oh so cheap compared to Ed Hardy clothing.

I confess: I am a big sissy! I have no problems watching cage fighters beat each other up to the point where the blood is pouring out of numerous cuts, but when it comes to looking at my own blood or watching surgeries on TV I am the biggest sissy in the world.

This morning for instance I tried to watch the program Body Work on TV. Body Work is a program about plastic surgery and they show the surgery in lots of detail. You can see how they cut the people open, peel the skin away, ‘butcher’ the people who have liposuction, etc. Usually I don’t watch that sort of stuff because it makes me feel sick, but this morning I had somehow convinced myself that I could watch it. I had convinced myself that I have a strong stomach and that it was time to stop being such a sissy.

I was alright during the first surgery and felt proud that I had watched all of it. But as the program progressed I felt a cold sweat coming over me, I became light headed and slowly I could feel my stomach turn. I knew where this was going; I was about to faint.  I wanted to change the channel but the remote was laying on the table and I was afraid that if I got up I would faint. So I closed my eyes, tuned out and concentrated on taking big breaths. It took about 15 minutes before I felt better again.

Lesson learned; I am still a big sissy!

They don’t say “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” for nothing. Sin City is buzzing for 24 hours a day and seven days of the week. Las Vegas caters for a lot of excitement, so if you are after a relaxing, boring holiday you need to go somewhere else. There are so many things to do in Las Vegas; you never have to have a dull moment there. Playing poker in tournaments, gambling, going to shows and performances of the stars, eating out in the best restaurants, walking over the strip, staying in beautiful hotels, shopping, great parties, etc. Who doesn’t want to go to Sin City? Las Vegas is certainly my dream vacation.

In the future I would like to tour through other places in the United States of America. Places like New York and  Los Angeles have always attracted me like a big magnet. I would love to go on New York City tours. But…  I’m not only a big city girl. Alaska is scoring high on my to-visit list as well. Yesterday I saw a show on TV and it looks so peaceful there.
