Flapper dress conclusion.

Oh dust bowl, how I love thee.


I finally finished all the hand sewing on my flapper dress. I do think it turned out rather well. The sheer fabric is so light and breezy, and I think I have somewhere to wear it to next week.

BANNED!!!

You guessed it, I have officially been banned form the Queen Mary Hotel. 


Queen Mary weekend 2011 pt 2: The Pool *reposted*

*The QM actually contacted me about these pictures and said they were forwarded to their security team. I took down the post then realized what was done was done, so here's the post again.*
I finally got to see the pool! The ship originally had two; one for first class passengers (this one) and a smaller one for second class passengers. Apparently the second class pool got ripped out some time ago and when the engines were removed from the QM, the floor of this pool became unstable because the engines were right beneath it. So it's been off limits ever since.
