Wordless Wednesday
I doubt that the Queen would ever be caught dead in an outfit like this let alone in this pose, but it’s a humorous photo isn’t it?
Gorgeous Jewelry Designs
Did you know that I used to be a jeweler? I had my own company working as jeweler to the trade, which means that I made the jewelry that many of you love so very much. I don’t work in the trade anymore but I still know great design when I see it, and I hope to highlight some fine jewelry and trends in fashionable accessories from time to time on this site.
One company that I’ve come across that carries an impressive line of Jewelry from designers such as Gurhan, Vera Want, Doran Isaak, Michael B and Ron Hami is Calvin’s Jewelry.
The site is laid out in a way that allows you to click on tabs for the type of jewelry product that you’re interested in. I appreciate simple layouts such as this. It’s easy to use and very easy to find they style of jewelry that you are looking to purchase.
In their Fashion jewelry section under necklaces I found the most gorgeous saphire pendant necklace. It’s to die for. My birthstone is sapphire so I suppose that’s why I’m so drawn to this lovely pendant. It truly is beautiful.
That’s just one example of the fine jewelry that you’ll find at Calvin’s Jewelry. As I said they have a wide assortment of jewelry ranging from necklaces, rings, engagement rings, pendants, and earrings plus many more items.
If you enjoy high quality jewelry have a look at Calvin’s Jewelry.

Rosie Apologizes
Rosie O’Donnels the queen of Nice? I don’t know after seeing her performance on the view last week when she mockingly spoken in broken English with a Chinese accent. This week she addressed her attempt at humor and made a formal on camera apology.
After running the clip of her offensive performance last December 5th, she said “This apparently was very offensive to a lot of Asian people. So I asked Judy, who’s Asian and works here in our hair and makeup department. I said, ‘Was it offensive to you?’ And she said, ‘Well, kinda. When I was a kid people did tease me by saying ching-chong.’
“So apparently ‘ching-chong,’ unbeknownst to me, is a very offensive way to make fun, quote-unquote, or mock, Asian accents. Some people have told me it’s as bad as the n-word. I was like, really? I didn’t know that.”
She went on to say that she never intended to hurt anyone with her remarks and that she was sorry for those people we felt hurt, but went on to warn that there was a good chance she might do something like that again in the future – Not on Purpose of course.
