Buddha Babe

I have a love affair with Buddhist statues & paraphanelia.  I have them all over my house, to my very devout Christian mother's chagrin.  (I'm rebellious to the core.)  Here is a vintage one that my grandmother gave me a long time ago, it's one of my favorites.  Just as I'm writing this, it just struck me--my grandmom has a few Buddha statues in her home as well.  It must be her influence. I guess if an apple does fall far from the tree, it probably ends up closer to another tree. :)

Oh, and the hair is still straight--washing it this weekend though. I have to admit, this is one of the first times I've actually REALLY enjoyed the straight hair. Could I be getting over the whole "big hair" thing?  Things that make you go hmmmmm....

P.S. I think I'm going to take a more "photo blog"-ish approach with this blog, with some fashion stuff thrown in. I've always had a love affair with photography, and fairly recently upped the ante and bought myself a DSLR & a couple of lenses and am taking photography classes. So be prepared to see lots of gratuitous pictures of mine here. Hope you guys enjoy.

    LOL! My mom would have a fit too if she saw a lot of Buddha statues in my house. They are rather cute though. Love the hair as always!

    Thanks ladies!

    Cali--I wear my hair in braidouts mostly. If it's straight, It's usually up in a bun or ponytail.

    I love Buddha statues! They bring a sort of calmness to a space.

    That's so funny that you said that you want your blog to be more of a photo blog :-) My blog started out with hair on the mind but now it has evolved into a "life through photography" blog after I purchased my slr. You really start to see things differently literally through a new lens.

    I look forward to seeing your photos and I love the blog!

    Ps Your hair looks gorgeous!!

    I can't wait to get my own place once I graduate from college because I recently discovered Buddhism, and it just evokes a calming energy. Of course, my mother would probably frown upon them since she is also very Christian. But it'll be my house, right? LOL.

    Have a great day, Nik! Maybe I'll see you around ATL one day since we both live here :)
