MOOD BOARD


Here we are on Monday again, and it's back to the grind for a full week... at least till the end of May. While away, I thought the team at Blogger had fixed things. Mr DeVice even commented how they must have felt my return and fixed things, before I started shouting off with their heads...but alas, it appeared fixed for two days but now several blogs did not update again on the reader since Saturday, and several blogs like Bob's and Dave's brought back post from April!! At the top of the blog reader! When I saw Bob's Meme Drop feature, I thought to myself that is usually Bob's Tuesday fare and then thought to myself the bastards are at it again! And I slew of others have not updated, but suspect, that out friends have indeed posted. They just can't get their act together. Well, I will make my rounds by way of blogroll, but in the meantime, let's enjoy some pretty moments I enjoy.

I adore Poison Ivy, and see much of myself in that character. I do believe that room above would be my lair!

Happy Monday dears!

  5. What twazzock puts a large vase of flowers on a pile of books? I'll arrange to set the armed and extremely dangerous librarians on them when I know who the twazzocks are.

    1. That's staging for you but agree Helen. It's like the people who accessorize with books.

  6. How much is that beefcake in the window??
    My blogroll seems to be working okay except for Travel, Debra and Steven. I just check them all so I don't miss anything.

    1. I knew it must have been a hoax...because your post always hit my reader around 8am everyday like clockwork. At first, I didn't notice the date of the Meme Dump title and thought what the? Then saw the date was from April!!!!! I don't know what is going on.

  7. What an adorable doggie!

    And Helen’s right about the vase on top of the books.

  10. Another fine selection - divas, cake, architecture and an ideal bit of "beach totty". Perfection!

    PS Google gnomes update: I have no idea what time you posted this, but when I look at the Blogger Reading List, it says it appeared around 1.30pm British Summer Time (GMT+1). I published one at around 6pm, and two-and-a-half hours later it still hasn't appeared... Damn them!

    1. I don't know what's going on dear. When I got back from my trip, I noticed of Friday and Saturday it was updating as people posted, but know some blogs and readers must be back to being wonky again...the rat bastards. However, I hope you and the Madam had a sinfully good time. From what I have seen since being back Mr DeVice did a fine turn as you in your stead.

  12. Babes!
    I swear I thought the hottie in the swimming trunks was you! lol
    And I want that first room all for myself. Well, it’d would have to be myself and the man looking out the window. Did you have him made just for me?
    And blogger always takes us for granted. Bastards.

    1. I could use some of those "other Items" about right now.

    2. Same here, baby. My bed is lonely.

  15. That Room could be my Lair too. Sorry you're having Bloggy Troubles. The "Other Items" are a nice distraction from Troubles tho'.

    1. I would never leave that room Dawn. At least for the next three years.

  16. I agree with Janie, this is a favorite post of mine too. Glorious pictures! I love those scenic sandwiches and edible too. And the legendary Shirley Bassey to boot.

  17. Love this mood board! And a toss up...the dessert case or that exposed weenie?!?! But I gather the weenie is less fattening, and way more fun. I too love Posin Ivy. You'd make a good one.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I too love that last room, elegant yet haunting. Love the neon and that guy on the balcony...woof! And the Supremes! This is a mood this week.

    1. The Balcony Guy seems to be popular, and his waist band says it all really.

  19. Happy Monday Mistress! A beautiful mood board as always. So many delights of all sizes and shapes.

  20. the dachshund was worth the whole mood board alone.

  21. I want that sign! "This is a high class joint. Act accordingly" i would love a pretty, floral sandwich and a beautiful cake served on a china plate, sitting in that lovely room with you. 😁

    1. I swear if one day comes, we ever meet, that is going to be one long lunch and cocktail while we commiserate over world events. Aren't those sandwiches cute? Hope all is well with you.

  22. Very nice collection this morning!

  23. Another lovely mood, Maddie. I'm particularly drawn to the pool and those amazing cakes! The vegetable flower toast/open sandwiches are beautiful - I may have to try something similar for The Mother's birthday in the summer.
    Now, are you going to invite me into your lair?

    1. Aren't those sandwiches delightful! If you do that for your mother's birthday you're going to have to do a blog post on that. And you're welcome in my way or anytime. Or is that in my web?

    + Bellissime foto e uomini così affascinanti :)
    # 15- Palazzo della Cancelleria di Ragusa. Fa parte di un complesso barocco che comprende la Chiesa dell’Istra e Palazzo Cosentini, poiché molte città della Sicilia furono ricostruite in stile barocco in seguito al devastante terremoto del 1693.
    # 1 e 17- come il grande salone e la veranda della villa di mia nonna.
    # 2- a chi non dispiacierebbe avere quest’uomo sulla propia terrazza ?
    # 3, 9 e 16- il divissima.
    # 5 e 10- creativi e deliziosi panini e torte squisite. :)
    # 6- un bassotto carino e dolce. :)
    # 7 e 11- Adone e Apollo - la bellezza degli uomini desiderabili rivelata, fronte e retro.
    # 8- simile alla mie jardinière Limoges.
    Hai un gusto squisito. :-)

    1. No sabía eso del Palacio de la Cancillería de Ragusa. Gracias por darme su nombre. Y sí, Apolo y Adonis, ¡ese es el nombre perfecto para esos chicos! Gracias por pasar por aquí hoy, amigo mío.

  25. After that high-class joint, I'm liable to consume every one of those strawberries.
