The Who
Jun 4, 2009
Borrowing ilykthx's guide, I'm sharing my dorkiness with you. :-)
Personals
How tall are you?
appr. 5'5
What is your shoe size?
8 1/2
What color is your hair?
Chestnut brown. Now including beautiful threads of silver woven throughout my strands. (Fancy way for saying I'm going gray already! I'm only 30, darn it!)
What is your ethnicity?
Caucasian
What country do you live in?
United States - KY to be exact
Styles
What is your favorite online shopping website?
I love Kaboodle for finding new places to shop. I love Sephora and Bluefly but use Amazon more than any other site.
What would you describe your style as?
I own more jeans and tees than anything, but I would liken my taste to a classic style - clean lines and timeless pieces. I prefer elegance over trend.
What's your favorite shoe style?
I love heels/pumps of all sorts, boots with a sturdy heel in the fall and winter, and flat sandals and flip-flops in the summer.
Lists
Which list would you say you add to the most?
It used to be Gooood Times, but it's hard to say now. Maybe Dresses or In These Shoes.
Which list is your personal favorite?
Dream Wedding. I got married at the courthouse...
What is your one pet peeve in lists?
Since recent improvements, I don't really have one. I guess just that I wish the items in the list could display as a grid style - kind of like the profile screen that shows our "list" of lists.
What do you always make sure to do with your lists?
I like to go through them periodically to remove unavailable items or items I don't have an interest in anymore.
Favorites
What is your favorite food?
Cheese. Especially of the sharp or blue families.
What is your favorite drink?
Currently generic flavored water from the grocery store. I drink a lot of filtered water at work and home, and on occassion I'll drink unsweet tea, diet Sunkist Orange or Sparkling Lemonade. Special treat - bottled Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino or a diet Shockwave.
What is your favorite color?
Purple - royal (or a shade of amethyst or silvery lilac/lavender).
What is your favorite dessert?
Anything chocolate. Or chocolate AND coffee flavored.
Random Facts
1. I stick my tongue out a lot. ALL the time. Even when I'm typing :-P It's a hard habit to break! More people recognize me when when my tongue is sticking out than not.
2. My weight right after high school was close to 300 lbs!! I worked really hard to get down to a "normal" size but have put a few pounds on in the past year due to some stress. I'm working on getting it back off.
3. My best friend Rebecca and I use the words "grandma" and "donkey" in pretty much every conversation we have. We're just weird like that that. (Since high school) Her kids always know when she's talking to me on the phone. LOL
4. I probably own 30 different fragrances. I like to change my scent like I change my clothes. It's my fragrance wardrobe, I guess.
5. My two ferrets and I dance together on occassion. It's our bonding time. :-)
(I have my hair in "Heidi" braids in my pic - I was getting ready to go to Oktoberfest with my BFF. I usually wear it straight and boring.)

Fact #6: Your shoes smell like popcorn, apparently.
You can view all lists in grid view if you wish.
Por ejemplo: http://www.kaboodle.com/vntgbabe/in-these-shoes.html?v=GRID :D
its amazing you own so many fragrances and refer to it as your fragrance wardrobe!! its good to switch it up depending on the outfit, occasion, and your mood!
cool! i enjoyed reading this. lol at fact #3 :)
I'm impressed that you own that many fragrances! Where do you keep them all?!
I love your Heidi braids! And apparently cheese is a favorite amongst many of the Kaboodlers! Who would've guessed?
@kabroskie - Yes!!! I forgot to add that. But mainly when I wear dress shoes or hosiery.
@cristina - I'm a dork! If I would actually READ things on occassion I'd probably have known that. LOL I'm the kind of girl who rotates her map when driving to following the exact way she's driving.
@cupcakexo - It's fun! Plus it's like having a different woman all the time for my husband. ;-)
great list, soulds like if we lived closer we would be *real* friends!
OH @vntgbabe - we have lots in common: I'm getting white hair (and I'm 28!)! At this rate I'll look like Betty White in 10 years. I too love anything chocolate-y, and I'm obsessed with perfume and fragrances. LOVED reading this! We're such kindred spirits :)
Hmm, I'm a bit lost on the popcorn thing. Or maybe just blonde. Could be both. I can be both at once. ;) Thanks for this. I really enjoy reading about all my friends. You all are going to embarrass me into doing one, and I'm really not sure...
@lamerchick - Vntgbabe said her shoes smell like popcorn... which is really weird.
Great stuff! :)
Thanks kabroskie. I missed the popcorn reference.
i love your lists and personality!
and its never too late to have a dream wedding... my parents had theirs on their 25th wedding anniversary! ;)
very cool <333
@gregsgal - I keep about six to eight on my dresser and the rest in the bottom drawer of my dresser. I display different bottles on the top of the dresser for different seasons. Now that I say that out loud....... it sounds kinda weird.
@lamerchick - You definitely need to do one of these! I want to know some weird random shizzle about you, Kaboodle Buddy!!! :-) I explained to Kabroskie that my shoes smell like buttered popcorn when I wear dress shoes or hosiery. I don't understand; it just happens. See --- told you I'm a freak!
@jinnyjinn - I've never colored my hair, but I've been playing with the idea of doing it soon. "Sign of wisdom" my butt! LOL
@betsy2you & @lady_arndt - You guys are awesome!
I'm stealing your "threads of silver" line, it sounds better than "Yeah, I'm 22 and going grey"! Lovely post.
whoa!!!! this was awesome!!!! i found out more cool things about you!!!!!
Thanks and LOL @x0xsharicex0x!
@rmagana - Please make one of these!!! We need to know all about you and your yoinkin'! ;-)
Confession time: I found my first gray hair a few weeks ago. I'm 23.
I was sad.
I'm jealous of your fragrance wardrobe! I have a hard time finding good fragrances for my body chemistry. When I found my first non-brown hair it was white. I wonder if I'll skip the grey and go straight to white. Yay animal dancing!
Oh I love the idea of a fragrance wardrobe! And I love your Gooood Times list! I love your hair in braids like that Oktober Fest or not!
great blog! love getting to know you better! ♥
you are such an awesome person!!
I can't get the image of dancing ferrets out of my head now...
I love you guys! You make my day, every day!!!!
When I come into millions and buy my personal jet, I'll pick you all up and we'll go get Margaritas on my island! :-)
Sweet.
YAY!!! I'm there! :)
First of all you have beautiful eyes. I also think about a dream wedding. It was fun getting to known you I think you have a beautiful personality.
great post! i love reading these
I'm 24 and I'm already going gray, too!
I always love your lists : )
oh wow this is amazing. it made me laugh! i have to agree that elegance is better than trend any day, it's timeless! :)
fact #1 is awesome, and fact #3 is even better! that is too great.
I have found a few stray gray hairs coming in too :(
I stick out my tounge a lot too. I have a lot of pictures of my doing that. It used to be a trademark of mine. I have learned to switch it up thou!
Oh wow, you are officially the fragrance guru. If you had to pick just one as your all time favorite, what would it be?
@bellitude - Wow! That would hard to pick! I guess if I had to pick one, for sentimental reasons it would be... Daisy by Marc Jacobs. Truly, it's just hard for me to pick. That's why I have so many.
is that your real eye color! amazing!
and i love that you dance with your ferrets, thats too cute :P
@faerieye - Yep, those are my peepers! :-) I really need glasses (would love contacts but can't stand anything in my eyes) but I'm too vain to cover up my eyeballs - I don't like most of myself and think they're my prettiest feature. But then again, I might gouge my eyes out one day running into something I can't see. Stupid vanity! LOL
wow.. love fact #3. you're so funny & lovely personality.
you had pretty eyes. I'm so jealousy with that.. ^^
nice post. thanks for sharing.
