In our Mardi Gras beads
This is mostly for St. Casserole, who might like to see a picture of her Northern friends in their Mardi Gras beads.
(Click on the picture to see a larger version.)
I would like to point out that we kept our beads to ourselves.


You look so tiny!!!!!

You both look lovely. And I can see a striking difference between this shot and your fairly recent new profile pic!

Oh Songbird, look at your thin, lovely self. Thank you...

You are both lovely and you look thinner than the last time I saw you. I would like you to know that my son describes you as "that tiny Priest friend" of mine....and he doesn't mean just your height.
