January 28, 2006~Waving hi to all my OH buddies! I had a BLAST this morning at Starcracks! I can't wait until we meet again next month! I loved meeting each and everyone of you! I posted on the CA board, for those of you who took pics, please send them to me! Hugs to all!

January 20, 2006~Made my reservations for eBay LIVE for Las Vegas!! and cannot WAIT to wear a bikini, already bought lots of new outfits,, size 3 mind you! I'm so incredibly happy I can burst!

January 13, 2005~WOW! I am so thin now. I need to put on weight and actually want to gain about 10 to 15 pounds! I have NEVER in my life have been able to say that! Although I feel incredibly healthy, I feel better with a little "meat" on my bones! I fluctuate between 110 to 112 and would love to weigh 125! Who would have ever thought that I would want to GAIN weight! My family and friends are so incredibly proud of me, as well as I am!

My business is exploding! WOW! My eBay sales are incredible! I recently started selling "Stop Staring!" Vintage reproduction dresses and ALSO TIE DYE TSHIRTS! If you want to see my TIE DYES, which are the BEST on eBay, check this out: http://stores.ebay.com/2Dye4-Tie-Dye-T-Shirts

Oct 10, 2005~My ONE YEAR anniversary is coming up for my WLS and PROUD to say I am down BELOW my goal weight of 125, and weigh 113! I DO NOT want to lose anymore weight. I feel BETTER, Look BETTER, and am MORE HEALTHIER than I have EVER been in my entire life! My family has to keep up with me now! If I had realized how happy and healthy this surgery and my accomplishment have made me feel, I would have done this ALOT SOONER.


May 30, 2005~ Okay, I know, I needed to update you all! Well, I am PROUD to say I am 7 pounds away from my personal goal of weighing 125 pounds! I currently weigh 132~Size 7/8 and want to be in a size 5/6~ I am so proud of my accomplishments! I am so happy and NEVER thought I would feel or look this wonderful! LIFE IS AWESEOME!

~*~*~*~

I'm sooooo excited about another new venture! I will be featuring RETRO, VINTAGE INSPIRED, ROCKABILLY, SWING, AND LOUNGE dresses from STOP STARING! and an official seller for them.

I am a happily married lady with a beautiful 13 year old daughter, and a devlish little Jack Russell doggy, but what a sweetheart.

My daughter keeps me so very busy and is a very popular gal with tons of friends. She is very intelligent, maintains almost straight A's, on the cheerleading squad and has made senior level in chorus! (Mom's bragging rights). So needless to say, I am always playing *Mom the Taxi~Driver* She is the best daughter anyone can have and I am so blessed that I have her. She is my life and couldn't imagine life without her. She is beautiful, smart and full of life. She is a real trouper at best. She has had some major health problems that FINALLY we have answers for and is going to be just fine!

~*~*~*~






A little of why I love selling vintage lingerie and clothes...It makes me so happy! When I was little, I used to dress up in Mommy's pretty frilly nightgowns and lingerie. I love the fabrics and styles of the years gone by! I still dream that someday all these beautiful & classy styles will return *sigh*.

I started selling lingerie not only to fulfill my dream of living out the fantasy of the early days of classic clothes and styles, but to meet new people as well! If you don't see something that I have listed, please feel free to email me so I can look in my inventory and put it up for auction for you here on eBay, or I can email one of my many friends here on eBay to see if they have it up for auction! I have been selling vintage lingerie on eBay now for many years and not only am an expert in the field, I am also branching out into vintage clothing. I am lucky enough to have a "connection" at a movie studio here in Burbank and I acquire ALOT of vintage lingerie they no longer want or use!

You can be reassured I have considerable knowledge in this area and can answer most questions! Please know that I and my fellow friends/lingerie sellers (see below for recommendations) will and can provide you with top notch service. I NEVER have and do not believe in *reserves* on my lingerie auctions, what a drag reserves are! I want everyone to be able to afford vintage lingerie. I have been selling on eBay for approx. 5 YEARS (under this ID and another ebay ID, see below for details) and with over 3000 successful transactions! My feedback speaks for itself and please be assured you will get nothing but professionalism and pure honesty with each and every transaction.



Last but not least, I want to mention and recommend some other vintage lingerie sellers who are the BEST OF THE BEST ON EBAY!

MY VERY BEST EBAY FRIEND, WHO IS LIKE A SISTER TO ME! Colleen from *ty4u* and her awesome most incredible lingerie! She works very hard at her auctions and pictures and it shows! Not only is she a fellow lingerie seller and my competition (but we both love each other :), she is one of my best friends here on eBay! Hey Colleen, has ~*LIZZY*~ come back yet/reappear? LMAO~ I luv ya girly, always have and always will!

The other lady I would like to recommend is Kimberly from kimberlyvcb . You HAVE to check out her auctions with LIVE MODELS wearing her lingerie! Very classy, and oh so sexy things!

THANKS TO TRISHYPOO for giving me the idea of ...The Paradoxical Commandments
by Dr. Kent M. Keith


People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.




If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.




If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.




The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.




Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.




The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.




People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.




What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.




People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.




Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

    Surgeon Info:
    Surgeon: Jamshid Nazarian M.D., F.A.C.S
    I have met with Dr. Nazarian twice now and find him very caring and very informational. At first, I found him very quiet, still do, but soooo very sweet and caring. His office staff at his Beverly Hills office was very nice as well as his staff at Liv-Lite thru Temple Community Hospital. He seems very personable and I really like that in a doctor. We have spoke about my surgery several times and still not sure if I am having *open* or *lap*. I really trust him so far and I'm sure I my feelings about him will not change after my surgery. He seems to be one of the top surgeons and I feel very confident with him.
