Ahoy, Matey! (because it IS "Talk Like a Pirate Day", ya know!) Welcome to my new blog! Shiver Me Timbers, the Sparkly Pig sure has a lot of great fashion finds! Head on over and give 'em a look...you'll want to FILL your treasure chest with their clothing and accessories! Aaargh!
This girl, though.....
If there's anyone I know that has "style", it's Taylor Warbritton. She's always, "cute as a button", but her style goes much further than outward appearance. Anyone who knows her will know what I'm talking about. Taylor exudes love, warmth and fun everywhere she goes. When I called her about being the model for my premier Rockin' Style blog post, she said "You had me at Pig"! Sparkly Pig, that is. Taylor is a long-time friend of April Baker, owner of The Sparkly Pig in Mexico, MO, from back when they used to show pigs together. She's also my long-time friend, ever since she used to come into my music store every week to sing for me. She started entertaining people at a young age, both acting and singing, and she now entertains on a regular basis, traveling with her Modern Rock/Pop/Country Cover Band, Funhouse Riot.
We had fun playin' pirate for the morning at The Sparkly Pig. But of course, our glam eye patch is actually a beautiful headband.
This photo contains my favorite items in April's store. I love the teastained color...cuff bracelets... and vintage-inspired look of these items.
Taylor took the opportunity to do some personal shopping as well. When she tried this outfit on, she decided she needed it to wear on-stage.
This violin represents something near to my heart.
It was a donation to the Gabriel's Song Project. This project was started as a way of providing music instruments to children in foster care and at-risk kids. When the former owner of this violin brought it to me, he said "God told me to give it to a child that couldn't afford an instrument". We've been doing needed repairs, and it will soon be ready to head to it's new owner. If you'd like to donate an instrument or if you know of a child in need, please contact me.
Thanks to April for hosting Rockin' Style at The Sparkly Pig this week. Also to my singin', pig-showin', joy sharin' friend, Taylor, for modeling. And to each of you for stopping by to check out my blog!
