Merlowe is Happy Hump Day Zivity! Do what you gotta do to get over this one! I know I will! ~
I am Merlowe "just like fine wine...I am only getting better with time"
My 2nd edition of verse from one of my most beloved artists..
~Nikki Giovanni ~for you to come inside and see pieces of me....
"Quotes"
"Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to the error that counts."
"I really don't think life is about the I-could-have-beens. Life is only about the I-tried-to-do. I don't mind the failure but I can't imagine that I'd forgive myself if I didn't try."
"Some say we are responsible for those we love. Others know we are responsible for those who love us."
"We write because we believe the human spirit cannot be tamed and should not be trained."
"Poetry"
Ego Tripping (there may be a reason why)
I was born in the congo
I walked to the fertile crescent and built
the sphinx
I designed a pyramid so tough that a star
that only glows every one hundred years falls
into the center giving divine perfect light
I am bad
I sat on the throne
drinking nectar with allah
I got hot and sent an ice age to europe
to cool my thirst
My oldest daughter is nefertiti
the tears from my birth pains
created the nile
I am a beautiful woman
I gazed on the forest and burned
out the sahara desert
with a packet of goat's meat
and a change of clothes
I crossed it in two hours
I am a gazelle so swift
so swift you can't catch me
For a birthday present when he was three
I gave my son hannibal an elephant
He gave me rome for mother's day
My strength flows ever on
My son noah built new/ark and
I stood proudly at the helm
as we sailed on a soft summer day
I turned myself into myself and was
jesus
men intone my loving name
All praises All praises
I am the one who would save
I sowed diamonds in my back yard
My bowels deliver uranium
the filings from my fingernails are
semi-precious jewels
On a trip north
I caught a cold and blew
My nose giving oil to the arab world
I am so hip even my errors are correct
I sailed west to reach east and had to round off
the earth as I went
The hair from my head thinned and gold was laid
across three continents
I am so perfect so divine so ethereal so surreal
I cannot be comprehended except by my permission
I mean...I...can fly
like a bird in the sky...
CHOICES
if i can't do
what i want to do
then my job is to not
do what i don't want
to do
it's not the same thing
but it's the best i can
do
if i can't have
what i want . . . then
my job is to want
what i've got
and be satisfied
that at least there
is something more to want
since i can't go
where i need
to go . . . then i must . . . go
where the signs point
through always understanding
parallel movement
isn't lateral
when i can't express
what i really feel
i practice feeling
what i can express
and none of it is equal
i know
but that's why mankind
alone among the animals
learns to cry

Well, the UK is so small, we have easy access to the whole of Europe here, and cheap flights too. I am going to Ibiza this summer, for 2 weeks of Spanish fun in the sun! Going to shoot some sets there too, like I did in Mallorca last summer.
Thanks for the kind words, sweetie! It's great to be back! Just having trouble figuring out logistics of being able to shoot more new sets.
Great to hear back from you..and even better to hear you will be having more sets! Have a great week!
You too! :)
I am good trying to get through the week!

Shall I pass the swear box?
Happy mom's day if it applies. If not, please pass it up to your mom. Hey, never realized you are originally from Pittsburgh. I went to school there and got married at the time when it snowed black from the Jones & Louchlin steel mills. Were you there then?
It does apply thank you dear! I was born and raised in the burgh..my day used to work at USS. But I have to say I have never hear of Jones $ Louchlin where abouts is that?
It was along the river, nearer downtown- don't think's been there any longer. Maybe USS bought them out?
Have a good Mother's Day plus one.
Hmm did you grow up there..whereabouts? I grew up in Moon township but have lived all over the city! I hope your week is going great ..Happy Hump day!
No, actually I was born in Brooklyn, NY. I went to school at the U of Pittsburgh so my wife and I lived near campus (in Oakland). You have a great day also!
Thank you honey..I really appreciate you stopping by! I hope you are enjoying this Sunday?

Just started actually..only 10:45 here! Plan on taking it easy and relaxing! Best of luck to your team sweets!
Well I just wished for the win..didn't know there were so many details..Gessh! :)
The sun is high in the sky here! Looks like I will be riding the motorcycle today! I had to make arrangements for my mum to go into a nursing home to recoup..cause I live so far away it is killing me :(
Ah the strength to accept the things we cannot change! Give you mum a kiss and hug for me sweets!
Thanks for the friend request, beautiful!

One of my favourite Winnie the Pooh quotes! Happy Tuesday!
Hey sweets all was good got my nails painted :) Off to work with me hope to catch up with you later today!
Taking your book with me so I expect it will be exciting!
Hey loverdove! Sweet sugary kisses right back atcha!! ! !
Oh hey there sweet stuffins..I am great this sunday morning..so wonderful to hear from you! More importantly how are you? ~xo
It has been gloomy and rainy all weekend but I was encouraged to get some house cleaning done so all is good! Did you celebrate Cinco de Mayo?
I totally forgot you lived in SA..I always chat with a friend of mine that lives there and constantly forget she speaks a different language til I here her speak it! Cinco de mayo is the celebration of Mexican Independance day..but really just an excuse to drink Tequila!
Sadly all work and no play :( Spring has not actually sprung it seems..I live very close to the beach and the drizzle and wind have kept me from it..Hopefully the new week will bring the sunshine! Do you speak Afrikaan?
I don't understand a word of it written or spoken..so kudos to you for making your way around that language..So sorry to hear last week was a bummer..but it is like our ass behind us!! Let me know if I can do anything to encourage good times in the coming week! xo
Oh tisk tisk..it seems to be human nature to hurt ones we care about ..with the feeling that they care so they will understand and forgive..I am guilty of this myself..so I am happy to hear all is sorted! ~xo
It is 10:19 Sunday morning.. If you ever need a chat friend hit me up..that is if I can figure out the time difference! lol
Going to paint my nails a new polish color I got and hopefully shoot a self shot! It is thundering here right now ..I feel like cuddling under my blankie!
We have not had storms bad enough for the lights to go out yet..but my new doggy is very afraid of the sound ..I feel so bad for him..but it is kind of funny...
Two dogs,two cats..a hamster and a fish! lol..My big dog is busy trying to force himself under the bed..not working at ALL!
Oh she is pretty..I am actually allergic to my cats but I love them so I live on allergy pills and don't let them in my bed!
I usually recover after a shower..so theres that at least! Always an excuse to get naked and wet! "blush"
I have a few ideas in mind there are so many great contests going that are so inpsiring ..pm me if you have any ideas I am open to suggestions! :)
No now That sounds interesting! Sci fi fantasy or unicorn fantasy?lol I would love to see what you have..if you share?
Thank you ..PM sent! :)
I do..I love UFC used to be boxing but I like the sport have evolved..This is america so of course I am entertained by baseball..and I have always had a thing for socccer (players legs)!
Got it .wow you have alot done..I am excited..my lunch breaks will be something to look forward to now!
The Pirates and the Steelers for american football I am a born and bread Pittsburgh Fan!
Heeeey thnx Merlowe!!!
No.. Thank you!
Aww, thanks, baby! I won't be having my first drink, though. I'm waiting until my 25th :) ps: finals are almost done for me. One more week and then I can breathe again. We should totally skype sometime! ♥
YES ..and so proud of you little mama! You are truly a role model for models..lol that sounds funny but true! Can't wait lady!
Thanks, love! ♥ and that is a bit of irony, role model for models, haha. And we deeeefinitely need to skype soon. I was looking at this thing called "tinychat" which you can do a group of individuals on webcam. We should set that up one day and just skype with some other cool kids :) ♥
i love hex, she is the one who introduced me to the site :)
Shut up..what a coinkydink! :)
Ahh I totally agree! Hex is so awesome!!! I don't really know her as a person but I'm a total fangirl over her sets!
Posted on 05/04/2012
by EnglishBabs
Me too! Hex is amazing, isn't she?
She is purrfectly special..one of the first models here besides you of course that I not only fell head over heels for but won me over with her sweetness and support! She is all kinds of awesome!
