Alter Ego

An alter ego (Latin, "the other I") is a second self, a second personality or persona within a person, who is often oblivious to the persona's actions. It was coined in the early nineteenth century when dissociative identity disorder was first described by psychologists.[1] A person with an alter ego is said to lead a double life.

If I had an alter ego , this would be it.I have always been obsessed with retro pin up girls and tattoos. If tattoos were erasable, I would spend at least one day a week covered in them and dressed up Rockabilly style. Well let me clarify. When I say covered, I do not mean covered like that tattooed freak, Jesse James had an affair with. I draw the line when it comes to inking the face and one may want to be careful as to the message that their tattoos are giving off.

Tattoos are a hate or love kind of thing and let’s just say that neither my hubby nor my parents are big fans. Good thing I never asked any of their permission before I got mine. With that said I guess that probably rules out me getting anymore anytime soon so I guess I will just have to live vicariously through others. Thank goodness for the internet and Kat Von D’s show on A&E.

Of course I could not resist finding some tattoo themed Etsy items.

I have never come across a dog that is more demanding and high maintenance than Miss Sophia. Add a visiting puppy to the mix and my hands are full. In the midst of this doggy world is my cat, the divine Miss Bailey. I have had Bailey for thirteen years so she has been a huge part of my life. She is a special needs cat as she has diabetes which requires two insulin shots a day and is missing most of her teeth. Watching her try to eat a meal always makes for a good chuckle. She is as sweet as can be so of course when I relocated to the USA, I had to bring her with me.

If bailey could slap me in my face I think she would. Let’s just say she was not too happy when we brought Sophia home and then when we walked in the door with Scout, she wondered what more could she endure. Sophia likes to try to play with Bailey in a not so delicate way. This does not go over very well. Bailey is a saucy gal and she does not tolerate being contaminated with dog cooties. She has become the master of cat boxing between fighting off Sophia the beast and the ever so eager Scout. The three of them keep me on my toes all day long but I love it!

So to honor the Divine Bailey I searched out some great cat items on Etsy to share with you all.
