So Not Me



I changed the template of this blog. Flowers are so not me, so it was an easy pick. I long to be not me. 
I got my nails painted. Not like me. Usually my fingers are stained with paint, now the finger nails glitter in red, black and plum.

My hair color is turning into something quite interesting. My hairdresser has been having fun coloring my hair with blond stripes. Now my hair looks like a mane of a lion: red, brown, golden and a touch of sun. Very vivid.
So not me.

The inside of my head is yet so me.

On Wednesday I was in a concert. It was fabulous. Marianne Faithfull sang accompanied by the guitarist Doug Pettibone. After the concert I and many other fans had the opportunity to talk with Marianne and Doug. It was quite bizarre. Me talking with Marianne Faithfull! My lines were not that cool: Ms Faithfull, the concert was great, a dream come true, absolutely magnificent.

Well, what else could one say?

She is amazing.

So not me.

I had to rub my eyes, twice, when this page with the summery new outlook opened! Great stuff! This will get interesting for the summer; who shall we find...

This photomanipulation works well with Marianne's picture!

Flower power, Lepis.

No, that's Marianne, BLOGitse, I'm not that beautiful, but hippie forever, though!

BLOGitse said...

Beautiful?! We are all beautiful! You and me - even if it's sometimes (or often) difficult to see...But can you feel it? :)

Sometimes I can feel it, BLOGitse, not always. That's a symptom in depression, self loathing, self hating, self disgust.

I think it is great to step outside the box-- color outside the lines-- and do things that you have not done before -- way to go!

SusuPetal said...

Layers, you're right. Boundaries are made to be broken.

Hi Susu! Keep the inside... ;)
Marianne Faithfull? I thought I was the only dinosaur... ;))
And Spain won...
Have a great week!

SusuPetal said...

Gil, no, no, you're not the only dinosaur, we are a whole bunch here.

Ellen said...

still you ...

SusuPetal said...

Yes, Ellen, I'm afraid so.

Nice to hear from you!

Hello, I just found your blog entry through Google image search. Beautiful Marianne picture featured in this post. I'm a great fan of her myself (had the honour of seeing her live with Doug three times this summer, also meeting her) and I have a photo blog dedicated to her.
Was just wondering if I could feature the beautiful picture you have posted. Are there more by any chance? Please have a look at http://faithfullforever.tumblr.comand let me know what you think. Thanks, Maggie

Hi Maggie, sorry for the delay in answering, been away.

No, there are no more photos, I'm sorry.
