For now, my European Adventure Royale(that's what I'm calling it) will have to wait.
After living in Phabulous Philly for 8 years, I'm moving back to my homeland...Virginia.
The company that I worked for 11 years(May Co.)(Hecht's, Strawbridge's, Lord & Taylor, Filene's, Marshall Field's, and several others...) was bought out by a mean, horrible and totally could care less about their associates, company, then called Federated Dept. Stores...now known simply as Macy's Inc.
Don't worry...we weren't just thrown out on the street.
We were given 2 options.
1 was...I would prefer to be "considered" for a position in the following locations.
2nd and most important was...I am NOT interested in continuing my imprisonment, oops, employment with Macy's and will receive severance benefits in lieu of an ongoing position.
It took me about a millisecond to write in very large letters, the word ABSOLUTELY in front of NOT and check that box immediately.
So, there you have it kids...my exit in the world of retail. And for now...in all of my leisure time...I'll be packing...getting ready for the big move.
Sometime in early October.
We did 12 countries, 12 cities in 17 of the most incredible days of my life!
I'll write more about it later.
One tidbit...while in Milan, we went into the Dolce and Gabbana store. Right away, I found that the shoes were on the 2nd floor. I walked in to the lovely/minimalist showroom, went directly to a pair of black eel skin(seriously pointed) shoes. I couldn't help myself...I bowed in praise of their beauty. I was quite surprised to hear the(excruciatingly beautiful, tall, Italian young man) salesperson laughing. I was happy to see that he appreciated my humor.
That's when I decided I had to try them on. My new boyfriend, brought them out in my size. I put them on...the most beautiful shoe in the Universe(in my mind). I'd already seen the price...and at nearly $4000 US dollars, all I could do was have my friend take pictures of my feet.
When we left I contemplated the question...if I had that kind of money would I spend it on a pair of $4000 shoes? The answer was undeniably YES!
If I were homeless, I'd be the bum on the corner collecting money for...not food, a good manicure and pedicure. I'd have the best hands and feet on the street. :)
I'm a Makeup Artist. The name (FaceDoctor) came from a photographer that I worked with for many years...not an out of control, overblown ego, although it has been said by many...he's FAAABBULOUS! :D

After, what should have been life altering experiences, I've realized we have to live life to the fullest. Hopefully, with no regrets...to be grateful when we're given another chance and to turn our lives into a beautiful story.
"The world is so exquisite, with so much love and moral depth, that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with pretty stories for which there's little good evidence. Far better, it seems to me, in our vulnerability, is to look Death in the eye and to be grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides.
--Carl Sagan
"There is a kind of greatness which does not depend upon fortune; it is a certain manner that distinguishes us, and which seems to destine us for great things; it is the value we insensibly set upon ourselves; it is by this quality, that we gain the deference of other men, and it is this which commonly raises us more above them, than birth, rank, or even merit itself.
--La Rouchefoucauld
