Home!

[blamebrampton]

With only minimally bleeding nose (some of the capillaries are a wee bit fragile due to repeated breaking and do not cope well with sneezing when very dry. No, anthimaeria , I am really not hiding a secret history as a stuntwoman ;-)) I have made it home, to a happy J and two conflicted kitties. They keep running up to me for pats, then remembering they are meant to be cranky with me and jumping off the bed in crankiness.

The house is a tiny bit of a cat-covered disaster, which I take to mean that J has spent the whole time I have been away pining. This is right and proper.

Some of you may be wondering what the Florence meetup girls look like. As a guide, here we are represented by the Great Artists and Photographers. Here's raitala :

vaysh ...



anthimaeria ...

Where's your representation? :o

[bryoneybrynn.livejournal.com]

The bb pic didn't show up! *pulls hair*

I'm glad you're home safe and sound and that your kittens are giving you a good and proper ambivilent greeting - they are cats after all!

And we've all been pining for you! :)

LOL! I love it :D And since I know AM and Vaysh in RL, I can attest to the bull's eye accuracy of your choices. It took me a second for Vaysh, but then I saw that the woman you choose actually (and stunningly) looks just like her! As does the woman you chose for AM, especially the way she's looking down rather shyly (and yes, AM, I see you as being shy - at least sometimes). *hugs* I wish so much that I could have been there, too. Maybe next time . . . . :)

Welcome home!

bloody lj, La Donna Velata by Raphael, http://www.abcgallery.com/R/raphael/raphael55.html although I'm a bit smaller than her ...

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

http://www.abcgallery.com/R/raphael/raphael55.html if it doesn't appear. Am glad to be home but tired and snotty. Missed all of you, too!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Vaysh was hard to find, but AM was easy! And she's the good shy, where she's brave and bold when she needs to be, interested and observant when not ;-)

We're already talking about Tallin 09 and Berlin 2010 ...

And glad to hear from you, I have an email I started before I went away that I will finish as soon as I am remotely rational again. But first, shower and sleep ...

Where's you? I know I can find a good pic. Here's an alternate one of pingrid.

I like the one of Shiv showing off her nipple. And that does look like me, Vaysh, and glamourous Rai.

Glad you're home safe and sound!(And you weren't a stunt woman, you were a secret agent).

EDIT: Oh! I see you now. :)

[who_la_hoop]

I'm glad you had a lovely time! ♥

[pingrid.livejournal.com]

These are wonderful, you've nailed everyone in some way! I'm a litte disconcerted to find myself nailed as Beuckelaer's Market Woman, but it's hard to argue against the truth. :D

Which one did you have in mind for you? I was going to suggest one of the Bronzino Eleonoras, maybe, but all these feathers are making it difficult to type. ;)

[norton-gale.livejournal.com]

I think of myself as an extroverted introvert. ;)

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

WOW! That really is very Pingrid!

Now that's a job I could rock, I was secretly Italian, French, and, briefly, German over the last fortnight. The woman who insisted I must be Irish wasn't too far off, essentially Celtic colouring with Mediterranean hair.

I was very happy to find that one for you, and Vaysh's, since you were the two that I expected to have to hunt for, but I went to the right periods and there you were!

And yes, happily home. How are you feeling? Has the tum settled? I decided that Italian snot would be a pleasant change, bleagh!

[norton-gale.livejournal.com]

Look at the one of you I linked in my comment. I was disappointed I couldn't find an image of a steampunk Viking goddess in striped tights, but I guess there's only one of them. ;)

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

You know how much I love Beuckelaer, though! Obviously you're far classier than a market girl, but they were allegorical, and you can certainly impart a good allegory at 50 paces!

I went with a Raphael for me, though I would love to think of myself as Eleanora-like; her stockings would fit me, we both have stumpy little feet!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

We might need Rai to draw one when she finishes everything else ...

[norton-gale.livejournal.com]

And when circumstances require, you could always serenely blend into the background of a Florentine painting.

Trouble is abrewing here, and I will send you a quick email about it. But I am physically better! Impatient for my stomach to be able to handle coffee with milk again. I am so glad none of you have gotten this disease, if it's a virus and not food poisoning.

[norton-gale.livejournal.com]

Definitely! But I've got to get my Florentine!H/D commission request in....

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I am off to bed for some time, but will email back in the morning when I am compos mentis again. Currently, brain of sago. I think it sounds like a virus rather than fp given the duration, and you were a bit feverish for a little while there. I suspect it's what my system flirted with on Sunday morning before deciding that it preferred the traditional cold. Because I love snot so.

XXX BB

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I knew you ladies would be gorgeous! :D

[pingrid.livejournal.com]

Nah, not that much classier to be honest - I do like to swear like a fishwife, which isn't much different! Put me into the right period and hand me poultry, and I'm set. :D

Ooh yes, the Raphael is good! I think that this one is a good alternate image for you as well; look at the mouth. And the GOWN! Mmmmmm. Love that one.

[pingrid.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I like that one! *preens* You flattering flatterer, you! *squishes*

[pingrid.livejournal.com]

Sleep tight, my sweet! I've got some snot too, should you run dry and need a refill. :)

[oddishly.livejournal.com]

That's amazing. It's like you all walked out of my head and onto the screen. :)

AHA how funny, your postcard just arrived! I am grinning like a supremely grinny thing at you right now, mercy buckets! :D

[norton-gale.livejournal.com]

I say it's you! :)

[rickey-a.livejournal.com]

LOL
yay
glad everyone had a good time and is back safe and sound

[raitala.livejournal.com]

Oh that's classic pingrid! "Is that a Viking god striding out of the mist towards me and does he have beer with him, or I'm throwing him back?!"
