Hi Agent Laketrees,
I wonder if I have fulfilled part of your Meme... Does Revellon Pit Bull Lipstick count ;~)))
I'd say your Revellon Pit Bull Lipstick fits the bill perfectly Miss MP :) :0 :)
Miss Moneypenny made me wear some too!! Ohh gosh, I hope my mother does not see.
Quite a super meme going on here today. Almost as big as my last one?? I will give them all a go soon. Thanks Kim !!!
Nice watch (wink)
hehe Speedy...
I won't tell your Mum...
your lipstick was chicken flavoured and quite becoming....ummmmm...
nice but I think I prefer strawberry ;)
I love that you call sunglasses "sunnies" ... you Australians have lots of cute names for things. Love them! And I loved the little newspaper clipping of "the artist's early stages" ... LOLOL!
Your parent sure look happy and beautiful.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Nothing new to report yet. I hope there is nothing new (bad) to report at LEAST until November... and then I hope the news is good after we go to court.
hi Wendster..
hehe the newspaper clip was courtesy of my Mum :)
it's cute isn't it... :)
yep my Parents had the happiest of marriages..
no news is always good news in my book...
thanks for calling by and letting me know :)
Congrats on your new awards, Kim.
These are fun memes--thanks for tagging me. I never seem to have time for this and home building and making art, et al, but maybe one day i'll learn the secret to being faster at everything I do. I think I'm still in Mental-Pause. It's lasting almost as long as my Adolescence did...
I have a question: Why a nail clippers (heavy and clunky) instead of just a lightweight nail file?
I'd be plenty embarrassed to reveal the contents of MY purse. Seems I don't travel light, either!
I completely enjoyed reading all the tag responses...LOL
My husband sat in awe as I read aloud the LISTS....LOL
His comment...
"Thank heaven for wallets.." LOL
Yay! Kim u're da best for doing all 3 tags ha ha! Hope u had fun cause I did, checking out what's inside ur bag and reading ur 16 answers! Wow, u have 2 perfumes in ur bag, that's awesome! ;)
I did not know u've been married twice. See...ur answers helped me get to know u a little better, thanks Kim! I'll add u to my list at MPG. :):):)
I object....I only carry a bag when I do bank heists....
It's good to play tag game once in a while. I'm sure ECL is getting more popularity compared to all Singaporean bloggers.
hello Lynda..
haha mental pause :)
I haven't had much time for painting lately either :)...and I'm not renovating hehe :)
the nail clippers are very handy when you have very hard fast growing finger nails..lol..
like I do...I don't think I've ever used a nail file :)
yes Muse..
men have it easy when it comes to extra baggage..lol..
us women seem to carry everything but the kitchen sink eh :)
hi Mariuca
yes it seems that marriage and I are not really compatible :)
I have 3 bottles of perfume :)..there's one on top of the wet ones...it's glass and easy to miss :))
oh really John!!!
which banks lol :):)
hopefully the bag would be bigger too ;)
hi Atniz...
the handbag tag was fun!! ECL picked a good one :) :)
Hi Kim! Thanks for dropping by my blog and leaving your comment, much appreciated :)
I love the black JAG wallet, mine's so worn out, even the coin compartment is falling apart! But I can't bear to part with it! :)
Have a lovely day!
Kim, any image you prefer....thanks, John
hi Neesa..
it's hard to throw away "loved" wallets ..I know I hate parting with them too :)
thanks for the linky love too :)
enjpy your day :)
hi John I'll be over to get one now :)
OMG... I have one parfume, and two small bags inside my bag, a pocketbook and a coin purse (no coins) :) a make up bag, my credit card wallet, not the same as my wallet, cell phone, keys, pen, pencil, eraser, OMG I have too much in there. :) Your bag is a lot more organized
I love reading your blog, you deserve the award!!!
lol Laura..
sounds like you carry a lot :) :)
I had a lot more in my bag before I took the photo ;)
thanks for visiting :)
enjoy your day :)
Hi Kim - this is very kind of you. Please do not be upset but I have absolutely no time currently to participate in any further meme or other games. I hardly can cope with the workload at the moment...but I think you will fully understand this...
Warmest greetings,
Petra
wahhh i havent even started mine yet huhuhu and there is now a backlog of them hehehe. I think i'll do the same and just go at it in one sitting over the weekend like you did kim :)
hi Petra...
no worries at all... thanks for calling by...
and best wishes with your workload :) :)
hi Metz :)
thanks for calling by and good luck with your meme(s) :) :)
WOW 3 perfumes Kim in ur bag Kim? That's so cool! My collection is slightly more than 100 now, and yes..I'm still in search for more cool ones to add to my gallery yeeha! :D
Oh no!!! I think my comment here disappeared, just left u a nice long one! :(
Anyway I'll come back later to see if it did go through. Have a great weekend Kim! :)
hello Mariuca :)
100 perfumes ...goodness.. but then you are the Queen of perfumes hehe...
I have 4 altogether...the 3 in my handbag and opium... :)
my daughter has a lot though and of course Charlie is her favourite ;)
she would have been called Charles instead of Charlotte if she had been a boy :)
oh my this week has gone fast!!!
enjoy your weekend too :) :)
Oh yay, I see my comments did not disappear!
Queen of Perfumes?? I LOVE the sound of that Kim LOL! When I visited my younger sis in London, back when she was studying there, I bought 25 diff perfumes, can u imagine? Ha ha ha! The 100+ that I have are my minis, which are for my gallery! The normal bottles that I use..I have about 20 or so he he! :):):)
Hi there, thanks for joining the shopping tag but the image is missing. can you please put the image pls. Just copy paste it bec. i have hosted the image on imageshack already (no need to right click)
.. I have added your blog at the master list if you want to check it.
http://bargainsalesdeals.com/2008/08/i-love-shopping.html
I can imagine Mariuca...
I was the same when I lived in London :)
maybe it's the cold weather haha..
your minis must look very cute altogether...my Dad used to have a miniature liquor and spirits bottle collection :) I loved it...especially the dimple scotch and white horse whiskey :)
the image would not post for me Admin...I tried 3 times and it kept disappearing so I finally loaded the image through photobucket...
wow, i am not surprise or overwhelmed by this concept. yawn. well, yes and no. an established photographer ( you can google = francois robert ) has been doing this for 20 - plus years. just went to his opening several months ago and he was at it again. only he carefully crafted the contents, took a photo of your hand, then framed it. only $4,000 USA.
that said, this could be fun. i am tempted to do it. i am a guy with a purse before it was fashionable, or man bag, man purse, man
i am frighted at the "speedy" challenge.
looking a bit harder. a ROLEX that you hardly ever wear? a dress ring that you hardly every wear? do you have other ROLEXES on your arm?
no lip gloss? no eye liner pencil? mints?
no mobile phone? iPod? no lens wipes? eye glass case? how old are the rail tickets?
IMPRESSIVELY efficient kim.
I dare you to post your bag Prand ...
this could be interesting :) :)
the sublimal power of voyeurism...
most people would like to see "inside" the other person..hence the handbag meme...
this could likely lead to what's in your car ...what's in your bathroom...bedroom...house (do you have jelly bean chairs?)...garden...the possibilties are endless.....
perhaps it would make an interesting "niche" blog eh ???
rolex? only one....had it for years..and still on time.. ;)
mobiles heat and scramble your brain...
i pod... not yet...though we have 3 in the house
2 years=no makeup ...sooo time saving...
glasses=on my face :)
rail tickets=August=birthday present to Sydney=phantom of the opera :)
will google = francois robert
Your handbag is way too neat. lol
ah Cooper :)
it comes from years of practice :) :)
Hi Kim,
Just dropping by to wish yah a great weekend :) try and fine time to pamper yourself this weekend. :)
thanks Metz :)
you have a great weekend too :) :)
Hi Kim,
Nice layout, great posting, excellent portraits - basically, I am a big fan of your works -
Cheers, Leet
Kim! A mini liquor bottle collection? I can imagine how cute it was! B collects HRC shot glasses and actually, it was his wonderful collection that got me started on my perfume collection! Hope u had a good weekend, dropping my EC here! :D
Great memes, Kim! I haven't worn a watch in years either.....quite liberating. Mind you, I can't imagine surviving without my mobile...it's my lifeline to my kids. :)
thanks Leet...
have a great day :)
shot glasses would make an interesting collection Mariuca... :)
I hope B has his c and c worked out :)
have a terrific day :)
hi Serena..
time seems to go slower without a watch... :)
hah I think mobiles are like glasses ..once you have one you really don't know how you managed without it... :)
Kim I can't help starring at your dolly, so cute. :) I bet you love it so much.
I love it TH ...
yours are gorgeous....especially the twins with their blue and pink suits... absolutely adorable :)
I see ur new dolly Kim, LOVE it!! And hey, did u get a new header as well? I notice you're spotting a new layout for ur blog as well. :D
I love the new dolly Mariuca :) and Emila came up with the the perfect alternative for the black background...
I've spent the last 3 days...with this makeover....many hours because I'm an amateur when it comes to coding ..eek...
I hope I haven't got too many errors in it...
I'm off to get some shut eye now haha...
I love the handbag meme. You carry a Rolex around that you don't use? Or is it that you do not wear it?
thanks :)
I don't wear it Renee...
but it's there if I ever need to know the time :)
What a great meme - always good to know your good blog friends even better - even looking into their bags (would never had the nerve to ask so you know :lol: )
Gocrats with the award too - you really deserves it Kim!
Wishing you a wonderful end to your week :-)
thanks Renny :) :)
you have a great weekend too :) :)
Hi, Kim! I almost missed the tag, as I didn't catch my name ran into House, Home, and Garden. Yikes! However, .... I'll play now that I have caught it.
I love the cartoon at the top of the 16 Questions tag from Nessa, and as it's easier answering questions than tracking down both my bag and the digital camera....it seems logical to answer those questions in the meme. Here goes!
Are you pregnant? Heavens, no!
When do you want to get married? - I've been married now for 32 years!!
Do you curse a lot? No
What are your favorite books? "The Art Spirit" by Robert Henri, "Possession" by A.S. Byatt
Do you wish you were with someone right now? no
Who were the last three people that sent you a text message? I don't have text messenging
Are you happier single or in a relationship? Happiness is not related to outside relationships, but how you relate to yourself
Do you believe everyone deserves a second chance? Yes
Do you wish someone would call you? No
What is bugging you right now? Injustice
What's something you wish you could understand better? Quantum Physics and why the Legal System is Unjust yet is called the Judicial System
If someone doesn't like you, it's usually because...? They don't understand me or are identifying with something in me they don't like about themselves.
Do you have a wild side? Yes.
Kissed someone in the last twenty four hours? Yes.
Have you lost friends in the past year? Yes
What were you doing at midnight last night? Sleeping.
thanks Sharon...
my Mum sent me the cartoon ..it's great isn't it :)
wow 32 years...congratulations!!!!!
you're so right about happiness...
and injustice!!!
haha...I think most artists have a wild side..that's what makes them artists ;)
a fun image at top with the row of perfumes. it was a nice escape to read these memes today but now it is back to work!
hi Jacqueline..
that is the header to Mariuca's blog...
she is a professional collector of miniature perfumes.... her site is well worth visiting and lots of fun :) :)
have fun with your work...
I hope I can get back to mine soon :)
Oh Kim,
I am suffering through a change of the season bug. I think I have the flu.
As a matter of fact I don't even know why I am out of bed.
I will sort through my images and send you my stuff as soon as I get well.
Hugs:-))
hi Jackie..
no rush ..just look after yourself and get better.. ((hugs))
have a restful weekend :)
It looks as if the UK's newspaper, The Telegraph, got in on the handbag meme. They're running an article on what's in the Duchess of York's handbag. Here's the link: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/global/main.jhtml?view=DETAILS&grid=&xml=/global/2008/10/06/noindex/handbag.xml&source=EMC-exp_06102008
In truth, the contents of your bag were much more interesting.
haha Sharon..
I'll take a look... :)
maybe the Duchess can borrow my nail clippers eh....
