Stefan, just sifted through 65 pages of the "True Images" thread...

You are one seriouse hottie! (Even if you don't have dark hair.) And your wife is totally adorable! The two of you make for one VERY good looking couple. You should have some killer cute kids.

Ok- Pic of me and my son at the Midnight 'sneak peek' of Pirates 2. Not a flattering shot of me, but a good pic of my son - the up and coming hottie.

(Hey look! I can post a reply to myself and not have it listed as an "edit". When did that start working?)

Aha! (to Cain's explination - below) And apparently when I tried to go back and "Edit" this post to include another picture, Cain had already posted... I got this wierd "You can only Edit your own Posts" error message. Strange, very strange.

ANYWAY - I'll try again.

This is my older son hugging one of our Costume Shop Regular Shoppers and my handsome husband on the same night.

After we moved to the new forum. We prefer if you don't, though.

Whoo Hoo! Now my double post has been edited by some unknown Mod into one. I just love keeping you boys on your toes. *giggle*

But you gotta remember - I've been gone for MONTHS! - I'm about to leave for the 'Wilds of Alabama' where I will not have computer access (None to speak of at least - my Mother in Law has DIAL UP!!! GAG!!!)

I'm starting to feel like that old joke pic of the 'father' dragging his 'son' toward the car packed with what looks like vaccation luggage while the boy holds onto his computer tower.

Damn, those costumes look good! Did you make them all?

ScarlettP · Unread postby **ScarlettP** » 23 Dec 2006, 16:23

Thanks Lucky! I made them all but the girl in Blue. (I think her real name is "Carrie", but we usually call her "Anime Chick" because she is obsessed with the stuff. )

The red skirt I'm wearing is actually part of my "Red Death" costume shown -somewhere- around here. I LOVE the way the skirt turned out so I keep making more stuff to go with it. The lower section is covered in rows of black grossgain ribbons folded and pressed into little 'dags'. Each folded point has a red rhinestone glued on it. The red fabric was a very lucky find as it sort of changes color from black to red in the light, but it flows nicely and is not stiff.

Hubby's "Barbosa" coat needs to be 're-done' now that we finally got some better pictures of it. We've just realized that he should have slashed sleeves. While pix of Johnny Depp are ALL OVER THE PLACE - it's really difficult to get good shots of Barbosa. We may have to rely on things like the dolls to see some of the details.

My older, taller son and hubby were 'hired' by the Theater to make announcements before each showing of the film for three days. Hubby would make the announcements in "Pirate speak", then my son would 'translate' like a town crier. Younger son and I just tossed together something to wear that night out of stuff in the closet. He was trying for a more "Colonial Kid" look instead of a Pirate, but we all desided that he looked more like a "Cabin Boy" and gave him a big red ring.

Wish we had... um, what's your profession called? Costume-maker or what?

Anyway, I wish we had some of those around here.

I want a Narn suit...

Hmm... maybe I could get one off the studio...

My dad just got a new cell phone. In the first picture, it actually looks bigger than my old one. But the second picture reveals how much ahead of mine his is in miniaturization tech...

Mod double post - look out!!

Man K, your phone has something wrong with it, it's all swollen up and stuff!

You are one seriouse hottie! (Even if you don't have dark hair.) And your wife is totally adorable! The two of you make for one VERY good looking couple. You should have some killer cute kids.

*takes a bow*

My thanks my dear, we can but try, and we like to think our kids are cute, and hope the same for the next one, which is due any day really (Mel due 6 Jan, but has a habit of going early).

That photo is a few years old though

My mom just bought herself a new Mazda 3. I'll get a picture later.

asandir · Unread postby **asandir** » 28 Dec 2006, 12:33

I don't mind the new Mazda 3's - they're nicely styled, and we thought about getting one, but it was a bit small for the family

ScarlettP · Unread postby **ScarlettP** » 28 Dec 2006, 12:36

Ahh! A nice 'family' sized Honda. Good Choice considering your happily expanding family.

*Off topic rant* I'm getting really tired of seeing single women in those monster sized SUV's... usually with a cell phone stuck in one ear... driving around town sucking up gasoline for nothing.

*offtopic reply* I think many Americans got a bit of a wake-up call during the evacuation of New Orleans... thousands of people running out of gas on the highways because they all drove V8s and ran the A/C on full... whereas if they had been driving Toyota Priuses... well. I guess that's partly the reason why those are selling out in the US now, and why V8 Dodges are rusting in the shops...

Anyway, my mom wanted a small car, with automatic gears and a diesel engine. That combination turned out to be difficult to get ones hands on, so she went with a petrol engine instead. It runs like a bat out of hell.

they certainly go okay - but I woulda gone for the manual .... can't see why anyone whould want to pay more, get less fuel efficiency and less power .... but that's just me

And as for the american love of the V8 .... can't understand that for the life of me!

ScarlettP · Unread postby **ScarlettP** » 28 Dec 2006, 23:22

American men have been trained up to believe that the size and/or power of the car is directly related to his -er- manhood.

asandir · Unread postby **asandir** » 28 Dec 2006, 23:32

and here I always thought it was compensation for *ahem* the smaller members

Kalah · Unread postby **Kalah** » 28 Dec 2006, 23:35

It's actually much simpler than that. Nowadays the psychological aspect of owning a huge powerful car is important when choosing your new vehicle, but the way it started was those powerful beasts were very well suited to the American roads: long and straight. In Europe, sports cars evolved differently because the roads are narrow and winding - thus agility and stability were prioritized ahead of sheer power.

Anywaaay, the V8s were also quite cheap, so you didn't have to have a lot of money to buy one.

ScarlettP · Unread postby **ScarlettP** » 29 Dec 2006, 00:05

Kalah actually came closer to the truth.

"Muscle Cars" were big for drag racing. You wanted a car that could go 0-60 mph in the shortest time. The big V8's were also used for pulling things like boats, campers, farm equipment and livestock trailers. Then, it just became a "Look what I got!" kind of thing.

"Actually" ?? What do you mean, "actually" ? You're somehow amazed I was right?

I wonder what will happen now; if Detroit will get their heads out of their reactionary @sses and build more fuel efficient cars, or decide to go bust and blame the government instead...

It wasn't difficult considering I was joking .... well at least a little bit
