Would That I Could

Would that I could dance among the stars all night,
I'd wear Orion's belt around my waist and call the Pleiades sisters.
Would that I could dare to be a lover fickle and untrue,
I'd hold the Moon in a tight embrace and kiss the Sun surrounded by morning dew.
If none of these is allowed to me,
Might I at least spend the evening with you?

Dear Clothes Horse,

To begin you have my sincerest apologies that if I implied that you “ lead a frivolous, self-centered life if that is your concern” I do not know you personally so I never made that assumption. I was asking whether do you lose a sense of yourself by what you see in the fashion world. I was not trying to belittle your blog or you in any way. I think that you have much to give to the world for I can see your creativity with your fashion style. I hope you continued success with your blog. I am a little surprised you don't use more pastel colours, it would really bring out the colour of your hair. Have a Happy Easter. :o)

Gosh I'm absolutely loving the composition of the last couple of photos... especially the one of you holding up your dress with one hand and tip-toeing... Really does remind me of a graceful swan (and it's meant in a good way! ;p) You always have the loveliest backgrounds in your photos...

Btw that poem is lovely. Did you pen that yourself?
