Mostly White Wednesday and...Charlie Sheen???


What, you ask, could White Wednesday have to do with Charlie Sheen?  Well, if you have even peripherally caught some of the rants of this latest train wreck ("winning"), you know that Dear Charlie has two live in girlfriends which he calls...now here it is....the reason for my catchy title...are you ready?

THE GODDESSES

Now I certainly can't condone Charlie boy's actions as of late (although I do think we are witnessing a very sad, very real meltdown of a person's life), I do have to agree with him in his admiration of goddesses.  I have long been fascinated by the figural representations of goddesses and, as I am wont to do, went on a mission to see how many I could find around my home.  I know there are more, but my light was fading fast and dinnertime loomed.  

This beauty resides in my bathroom...


This lovely Mucha lady lives in our upstairs hall...


A gift from a dear friend that occupies a little spot in the dining room...


The following all reside in my studio...perhaps they are the goddesses of creative inspiration???





This stunning old door which is propped up in a corner was painted by the very talented Lori Gutierrez.

How could I not feel happy just looking at this beauty?

I hope you enjoyed this little mini tour of my goddesses.  This week, I wish for you to find your creative muse, whatever your method of expression is, and embrace the goddess within yourself.  For more great inspiration, go over to visit Kathleen at Faded Charm for White Wednesday.  You'll be glad you did.

Until next time,


Pin It!

    They are so gorgeous, and I guess as Charlie would say, you can never have too many goddesses!

    I love your goddesses, they are beautiful!
    We were just talking about Charlie a few minutes ago - he is getting exactly what he wants which is a public forum and he is the center of attention right now.

    Hi Judy! I love your goddess statues, they would inspire me for sure! Oh and that picture for your bathroom is gorgeous! The whole Charlie Sheen drama is so sad but even more so for his children to have to be exposed to all of it. xoxo

    Hi Judy,

    Your Goddesses are beautiful and your home must be so lovely having all them around.
    Thanks for showing us.
    As for Charlie, I really hope that he gets the help he needs.

    Hope that you are having a lovely week

    How beautiful...I really love the painted door.

    I agree with Carolyn, Charlie needs help and I hope he realizes that soon.

    Your goddesses are beautiful!
    When I was seeing the Charlie thing on the news, I thought it was so sad...
    and then I wondered if he might be just acting.
    Blessings,
    Marcia

    Swooning over the goddesses you have, not so much over Charlies' though... Love the painted one in your dining room, the colors and her stance, just beautiful!

    OK, Items 1.3.4 and 5... oh my goodness... How ironic that I took have a "goddess" collection. I love them, they are so beautiful. I have the tradition Venus de Milo, Bottecelli's Venus Rising from the water and an assortment of alabaster others.
    Your's are gorgeous!!!! I wondered where you were headed when I saw "Charlie Sheen" - great segue!

    Hi Judy
    Well, I have to say your goddesses beat Charlie Sheens. Love the cupboard door and of course the sculptures! Just beautiful!
    Blessings today

    Love the play on Charlie Sheen. I don't know how he made it this far.
    Do have the same love of goddesses too.
