Options are a good thing: Be a housewife/Be a CEO/Get married/Remain single/Have children/Don’t have children/Dress up like a princess or Don’t.
The good news - We can do multiple things… As in anything we want to do and so can our daughters. The costume’s never been to blame, it’s always been about the substance within. The decor on the outside is nothing more than pretty wrapping paper covering a splendid gift or colorful sprinkles on a multi-layered frosted cake.
This is great. Creative mom/Lucky girl.
Texas Photographer, Recreates Iconic Women’s Portraits With Her Daughter
By: Ryan Grenoble
When Jaime Moore’s daughter, Emma, turned 5, the Texas mom and photographerset out to commemorate the occasion in pictures. Searching for inspiration online, however, she was dismayed to find the majority of girls at that age dressed up, unrealistically, as fairy-tale princesses. So Jaime decided to raise the bar.
Mom searched for better role models, and together with Emma selected five real women that a girl can actually aspire to be like. Then, they replicated iconic portraits of those figures — Susan B. Anthony, Coco Chanel, Amelia Earhart, Helen Keller and Jane Goodall.
The title of the series, “NOT just a girl,” is meant to be an inspirational message for young women seeking to realize their full potential — beyond vague dreams of Disney princesses.

I’m an artist at heart. My head is always floating in an artistic environment… Unless I intentionally pull myself back down to the lovely black/white world that keeps me grounded. Which I thankfully do on a daily basis in the tech world.
In the midst of my head floating around, I also get caught up in the art of manufacturing. Not mass manufacturing with machines and gadgets - that’s too easy/too common (although 3D Printing is another obsession). I adore and believe in the kind of manufacturing that existed and was brought to the forefront during The Great Exhibition. I enjoy the process. I actually looove the process. I could spend all of my free time learning multiple crafts where items/objects are made and produced without the use of machines. I sincerely admire the artisans who simply create using their hands.
This is one of those artists I greatly admire. He has a wonderful amount of positive/creative energy and a brand with an amazing amount of substance… and I never would have known about him had I not wasted my time in this meaningless meaningful space.
I’m back, obviously… and just came across an I don’t know how or why fantastic accidental find.

Mid 19th Century Victorian Intaglio Wax Seal Fob, $265
Probably the most confusing Victorian intaglio I’ve ever seen. It took me a minute, but I got it. See if you can figure it out. The bottom image is mirrored to show how it would be seen when impressed in wax.
I’m still not sure why the word “return” has a line through it. Bonus points if you can make sense of that.
