Archive Dive Selby Bird of Paradise


Why is it called beauty sleep when we wake up looking like a troll?


I am so naturally beautiful, I need to put on makeup, to look like I don't wear makeup.... Go ahead, Lash Out at me. This is TRUE.

    I remember this! Which is unusual for me to remember almost anything. This really DOES look like a beautiful exotic bird. And if you look at the far right of it, almost one of those really fancy bugs in distant lands. I saw one of these once, in a friend's backyard. They are spectacular, and you don't find them in Garden Centers. Why is that? Are there not enough of them?

    Such good questions to ponder today...let me got have a bowl of little O's and a cuppa joe while I think on this. Bird of Paradise is breathtaking.

    No makeup worn for me either, Sandra. That said, I have some cosmetics that are teenagers now! These were from the time when I did use things like lipstick and other facial enhancers. Now, its all natural, just like the beautiful bird of paradise bloom.

    Did you hear me laugh/snort out-loud just now? 'Used to be I wouldn't walk to the mailbox without liner and pencil (no eyebrows) ... but I've only bothered 2-3 times since retiring.
    Gorgeous flower!

    Makeup is good and bad...An improvement for some and a preoccupation for many...If it makes one happy...do it.

    Pretty flower! IT certainly doesn't need makeup. I don't venture into public without it; my backyard buddies don't seem to mind, as long as I bring peanuts.
