Too Fat To Be Edgy
In my mind
"Rock-Chic"
Chrissy
In my mirror
cracked-rock
prissy
Final stand
rocking
the glory
crown
Finally
the 'edge'
no ordinary
sensible
silver
Rainbows
shimmer through
the argent
shadows
Tossing my
iridescent tress
too fat to
be edgy
I dress
my hair
Suddenly
cool drool
Betty's back...

mmm, sounds much like someone
i phoned some years ago who lived in Leeds.
so wished i got round to meeting her.
she went off and got married and moved to Southampton.
great shame. your style is much akin, Betty,
and i like it, just as i liked that lady i once phoned.
would love to hear her again.

Edge of Something...
Hi Kelsey!
No, not met on here before...Been a while since I posted, used to regularly post on the 'old' Neo before the awful crash and we all lost our work! Dip in & out when the muse strikes...but not so keep on the format since the crash, it's all a bit worthy worktops for my own taste.
We can all learn new tricks & I really appreciate your interest. Letting my beautiful silver hair grow out but didn't want to look too 'old lady'...so rocking rainbow pastel hues. Edgy & funky...more me!
Chat soon,
Ells

Now We're Talking...
Tennesse Bourbon, stacks up well to a smooth Jameson's....soft curves indeed.
I'm more your Isle of Skye, Talisker....Scottish whisky, salty,peaty & an acquired taste for grown ups. Complex & layered like my new coloured silver/ pastel/rainbow tresses!
Thank you Esker
