Sour Patch Kids

MeMo& Sha~

     Possibly the greatest candy ever created in this world.   Sour Patch Kids.   No joke.   Well...a little bit...but out of love.

Attack of the Glamazons/Little

Dear MeMo & Sha~
     There's a saying that dates back to who knows when..."Good things come in small packages".   In all fairness, my own personal belief is that, as people, we come in all shapes, sizes, colors, etc...We also  have very different idea's when it comes to beauty.   While I cannot lie, if I had a fashion show to put on...rather WHEN I do, I'll have tall, waify, young women, with high cheek-bones, and preciously innocent faces, cherub lips etc prancing gracefully down the runway...HOWEVER, that's one part of a very detailed puzzle in life.   At sixty inches tall ( and ok, 5'1 barely if I stand up as straight as I possibly can) it's extremely hurtful to hear people say that only "Glamazons" are beautiful.   I'm short, I'm sweet...and the right parts of me come to the right points.   The contours of my body are soft, graceful, and strong.   My cheekbones are high...though I'm technically not.   In a waiting room recently, somebody asked me if I did modeling for cosmetics...because " your eyes are doe eyes...with knowing behind them...your lips are perfectly shaped...and your face...THAT face!   I'm surprised your not a model...are you really not??"   Well, that about made my month...and then today, when a group of (probably) eleven year old boys said to me "Hey you wanna spray?" They were using the hose to wash (likely their parents') cars... then after I held my arms up to the sky, spun around gracefully like a ballerina, and got absolutely soaked...in a tight white tee...one of the guys turned to his friend and as I'm bouncing away said "Damn...what a babe!" Well now THAT made my month again...and then I came home.
Somebody for whom I hold a great amount of respect for... who has the ability to completely deflate my ego...or send it the opposite direction and souring to the moon... said " well, don't be too excited, one day they'll grow up and realize we're in Los Angeles...and we've got models here".   To this my heart sank...and truthfully so did a little of my soul...Foolish on my part to let myself be hurt...foolish of my friend for knowing he could hurt me.  
So, here's my very wise take on today...first of all, good things come in all sizes...be it a set of head-lights on a car...or on a girl.   ;)  Second...for whatever reason, we are unable to alarm our hearts as we do our homes, or our business vaults, etc...and this is an issue.   Third, there's nothing wrong with being a "Glamazon"...more power to you...
BUT if for any reason, any man, woman, or child thinks for one second that a tall, skinny, busty babe knows more what she's doing than me???   Well then, I've got four words for you...   LITTLE...BUT OH MY.  
In every sense of these words...anything going through your dirty,or well poised minds right now, your all absolutely correct...It's quality not quantity...less is more...and this "little" babe not only packs one hell of a punch...but you bet your ass I can back up the "Oh My" better than most.  
"Little...But Oh My"!

First "Real" Interview/Melli-ish.

Dear MeMo & Sha~
          I've not slept in a while now...one long story after another.  This morning, somehow I did manage to pull myself out of the non-sleeping coma that I'd been in...yes totally sober.   KCAL 9 News in Los Angeles is doing something with California Adventure TV...and they featured your's truly...well, they will soon.   Assuming I didn't drive them completely batty.   The man in charge ( Cole) was VERY NICE and exceedingly patient.   As was the VERY young girl that will be hosting it.   Because a good friend was coming with me, I didn't cancel this morning...I was wiped out...Rockstar didn't even wake me up...the closer I got to the shoot, the more "awake" I became though.   It took about fifteen takes for my head to start working...and even when it did, I'm pretty sure my mouth wasn't.   I have this habit...I speak "Melli".   It's endearing, and sweet, and anybody that truly loves me, does in fact understand it.   Not naming names, there's one person in particular that can actually speak it along with me by mouth...and through body.  ;)  So yes, I was sitting with one knee up...as always I do...and against the green screen...with an insanely hot light pointed directly at me...and a very ( ridiculously adorable ) man watching from the wings...and the one thing that kept going through my head???   "Get used to this Mell...it's going to be more and more often...get a book...learn the m*th*r  f*ck*n language...OR teach the world how to speak Melli.
   Anyway, I wore my dark jeans, a simple black kimono sleeve top, violet flats...and as always, Pearls wrapped three times.   And to plug me and my sparkle even more than just through my wildly cute voice, ( yes I do happen to love it now as much as I hated it as a child)...I wore a lavender Swarovski Crystal, Cultured Pearl, and White Gold bracelet...   Diamonds may very well be a "girls" best friend...but I'm a grown-up... I wear Pearls.  ;)

Melli Emotion ;)

Dearest MeMo& Sha

      The past couple months have been difficult to the point of becoming debilitating.  In my heart, it's never been "impossible"...being a designer for me, has been rather something that's inevitable.   Adding to the struggles of getting a new business off the ground for any person is almost unmanageable.   We do the very best we possibly can though, and push through whatever obstacles are tossed...sometimes even thrown hard...at us.   I can do this, I will do this, and no, it is not a choice.   It's what I was born believing.   I'm putting up a handful of photographs of myself.   This is me...happy, sad, and everything in between...all the emotions of a normal person.   A hundred years from now, the world will see that yes, Melli was actually a real living person.   Compassion and passion, heartbreak and laughter, tears and pain and joy too are all things that run through my blood just like anybody else's.   Sticks and pebbles may sting...but I can handle the stones.  ;)
       Quite Kindly, and Very Truly Yours, Melli

Suzie, Me & Sassy Stilts makes three...

Dear MeMo & Sha~

Had a BLAST today with my love of a friend Suzie.   She came and helped me while the photographer was here taking the "real shots"...and she gets the credit for putting the piece's on the shoes.   Pleaser and Frye are the pumps and boots...and wow did I need some fun!   Love you Suzie!

Quite Kindly, Melli D

                                                              Above is little love, Suzie.
