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 :


pingrid  ...


vaysh ...



anthimaeria ...


shiv5468 ...


... and me.

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!

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! ♥

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. ;)

I knew you ladies would be gorgeous! :D

[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

[rickey-a.livejournal.com]

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

[raitala.livejournal.com]

These are great! I've got my pouty face on :D

They are all such great matches - I'm particularly struck by your Vay choice, it's perfect and I wouldn't immediately have thought of BJ.

[vaysh11.livejournal.com]

Oh wow - uncanny similarities, really, all of them. You certainly got my sharp nose right ;-) and everything else about my representation is serious and unabashed flattery. Yours is very accurate, especially the face and hair. And I always imagined pingrid holding some poor duck's throat ;-). I am extremely partial to Shiv's exposed right nipple, now that I learned that rolling it between thumb and forefinger is a gesture of offering her up for marriage and means nothing else whats'o'ever.

[abusing-sarcasm.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a wonderful time was had by all!

Oh, to be European and classic... *sighs*

I'm a little ol' Georgia O'Keefe poppy.

*welcome back hugs*

[absynthedrinker.livejournal.com]

Vaysh looks just as I imagined. Glad you're home safely.

Peace,
Bubba

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Love them! Glad you all had a good time, despite illness.

[winnett.livejournal.com]

How cool! I loved this. :)

[alisanne.livejournal.com]

What a cool idea!
*g*

[shiv5468.livejournal.com]

Good lord, I appear to be wearing rouge.

[calanthe-fics.livejournal.com]

Without wishing to appear ungrateful I was rather hoping for picspam of the real thing(s).

:)

[maya231.livejournal.com]

I love this idea, but I guess you had to be there, as I'm not sure what to infer from it all...
I'd love to know the names of the paintings though, as I have neglected my art history studies of late.
Glad it was a good trip, overall, and if you feel like posting your favorite costumetextilethingies (isn't that partly why you went?) or sights, I will devour with vicarious pleasure!

[beatnikspinster.livejournal.com]

This is such cool picspam. And I'm super jealous at happy for you all being able to get together in such a beautiful place.

[deensey.livejournal.com]

ahahaha, i love you.

Now sleep.

[grey-hunter.livejournal.com]

oh, this is so cool! could be a meme. :D

... O.o And I know you didn't mean for any of this to happen but I can't... I have to! THOSE CABBAGES!!! D:

[aldehyde.livejournal.com]

awesome picspam :) [although yours doesn't show up, so i had to find the pic from the comments!]

good to know you're home safe and sound and that the nose is recovering@

[kirise.livejournal.com]

I must ask, because it is gorgeous, what is the source of the picture used for anthimaeria?

I love all of these, but find that one particularly compelling....

Thanks!
