Posh Menagerie... My Life!
There simply could not be a better description of me and all things me.
Smart & fashionable, check.
A place where things are kept or exhibited... or even better yet, an unusual and varied group of people, DOUBLE CHECK!
For me, I could not imagine any other way.
Style is something we are all born with, but it is the desire and ability to showcase personal style in which we are not all equal. Some say one is either "born with style or not". I disagree with these kind folks and think everyone has personal style, but it is the natural ability to showcase this "style" which is the true gift.
My mother has it, I have it. I pray my children have it.
Right brained we are. In searching for answers regarding this concept and my lack of ability to succeed in Accounting 101, I stumbled across this explanation which says it all...
How is the Right Brain / Left Brain Concept Relevant to Artists?
When you start a painting, you need be able to to visualize the final painting in your mind (right brain, working from the whole), then develop the painting, chosing the elements, matching and mixing colours, placing in the shadows and highlights (right brain, working on various things simultaneously), but at the same time be able to look critically at what you've doing (left brain, being analytical).
Amazing, right? This completely summarizes "the gift"!
My friends are mystified when I purchase some random painting at a flea market and have trouble seeing how this will fit in to my under construction dining room. All the while, I am able to clearly see the final product in my mind and make such selections at random.
Whether it is a thrift store (not the trendy kind, but the dirty grungy kind) or Bergdorf Goodman's, I can always pick that something out of a crowd that is fantastic and perfect.
I hope you have fun and enjoy this blog.
It is my collection of the Posh Menagerie that is my life and I am happy to share it with you!
