Cashmere All Up In Here

It was forbidden...

I wasn't allowed in the attic as a kid. There was that dropdown latched door. The one with a string on it. It was too high for me to even reach. There was no light up there and it was cold.

For years, my mother, a product of the Great Depression would work at a department store in St. Paul MN called "Grants". She saved everything to help out at home. 7 kids in a one-bedroom house, humble beginnings, and a tight fit.
She loved nice things but that was hard to afford.

She managed to save up every few months or so to put a new cashmere sweater on layaway. That's what you did back then. :-)

Over the years she collected quite a few pastel cashmere sweaters. It looked like an Easter egg collection up in beautiful white boxes with pink ribbon holding them together. They were in the attic and one day I got up there, ladder in tow, balancing to pull that string with a candle and matches stuffed in my pants. I wanted those sweaters! Lol

I was forbidden. But I remember sneaking one in my backpack and pulling it out at school for everyone to 'ooh and ah" and touch. I knew someday I'd have my own.

I found them after she died and we were going through her things. My eyes filled with tears as I ran my hands over that soft yarn. There were holes eaten by moths now...a sad metaphor for how life comes full circle. I can only imagine what it was like back in the 50's... I wish I could have seen my mother then.

I hear when you're in heaven... that you are at your "best year ever". Whole, healed and shining like a new dime.
I bet my mother has on a Cashmere sweater if not too hot in heaven?

I found this cool outfit on my website www.amazon.com/shop/goldylocksrocks but I'll list it here with direct links in case you want your very own cashmere too. I think they are as beautiful as my mom must have been back then working at Grant's. Thanks for reading.

But below are the products I use daily!

I know during the COVID and many times cash flow can be tough when you're trying to create and build your brand. Sometimes hiring out your work is just impossible. But continuing to build doesn't have to be.

I have www.TheFactoryPhotography.com where I've had the honor of shooting some of the most incredible artists, athletes, and celebrities. But even though I have all of that equipment, sometimes I use some really simple things to "get er done."

Light.

It's the most important friend you can have.

Here is a simple option for your face:

Live Long & Rock Hard

Live Long & Rock Hard!

Come on, we've all fantasized about getting on stage n front of thousands of people and rocking out. The sound of the thunderous applause, the smell of a sweaty crowd screaming your name. We wonder what it would be like to date rock stars, celebrities, and pro athletes. We've all been there.

For some of us, glimpses of that reality actually happen. I've been blessed with a LOT of people who have helped me along the way. I've had record deals, been in national commercials and major motion pictures. And MANY times what I play on tv or in film... I want to STILL look and FEEL that way in real life!

SURPRISE!!! These stylists I've had are sometimes are 4000 a day to just give me advice and make me look like a star! So I'm giving back to YOU, by showing you EXACTLY what I've worn, been shown, taught, or put in, so YOU can ALSO feel like the STAR you were born to be!!
