VV Friday Poll
It’s that time again and to top it off, in the US it’s a three day weekend for Memorial Day, yahoooo!
I love this cartoon above because it reminds me of me. The hair, the laptop and the airplane in the background (I work right by SFO airport). Also I love her top and glasses, but I am not that chic. 
If you aren’t too busy how about joining me for a few minutes for the Friday poll?
- How was your week?
- What is the longest you ever waited in line for anything (tickets, an amusement park ride, post office, etc.)?
- What’s on your nails?
- Are you scared of needles?
- What book are you reading at the moment?
- If you could live in a HUGE old castle for free (but with modern conveniences) would you?
- Tell me about your favorite non-beauty related blogs:
- If you were visiting your favorite kind of museum, what would it be (modern, natural, classic art, cartoon, car…)?
- If you were to visit Italy for 2 weeks, where would you go?
- What are you doing this weekend?
Good – finally mostly over that cough and on vacation at Hearst Castle as we speak!
I think probably 2-2 1/2 hours in line for a roller-coaster when I was in my teen and 20′s. I would NEVER do that at this point, haha!
A big fat nada!
Not generally, but if there was a huge thick one going into say my spine, I would be!
Still the first Game of Thrones book. I really like it, just haven’t had a lot of time to read, but am about 70% finished.
Y.E.S.
Dooce, The Pioneer Woman, Hyperbole and a Half (though she barely posts anymore), Nothing But Bonfires (local SF woman from London) and Full of Snark are my favs.
I like most kinds except modern which I will NEVER “get”. My favorite is probably classic art paintings though from the Renaissance or Medieval periods.
No really I am asking because I am planning a trip and want to get ideas. I am definitely planning on Rome, no doubt, but not positive where else. Skipping Venice for now since Mr. VV has been there.
Moving into Hearst Castle (haha) and having fun in San Simeon!

9. If you were to visit Italy for 2 weeks, where would you go? Ok – planning a trip Kelly – I used to be a flight attendant – try to go to Milan – spend a day or two – then take the train to Lake Como – it’s beautiful. Maybe spend one night there just b/c it’s so beautiful – but it’s very quiet at night. Romantic! Also – you should take a train to Capri – talk about stunning and beautiful… it’s fantastic. You might want to spend 3 days relaxing there… it’s gorg! And go to Tuscany for a day or two – no more – just to eat like a pig. You will LOVE Rome – and go to the neighborhoods that are outside the city – they have fantastic restaurants that are less expensive. In Rome – the food is $$$ and not so great – There’s a resto down and alley in a corner by a wall – you get the drift – called :Il Campaneria (not sure of correct spelling) – it’s a little family place and the Romans eat there… it’s delish. Also – Mozzarella Bar in Rome is always yummy – and the gelato near the parliament is the best in the city. Send me an email and I can send you more info if you like!

8.If you were visiting your favorite kind of museum, what would it be (modern, natural, classic art, cartoon, car…)? Umm…this is way too easy…haha. I’m pretty obsessed with nail polish, so I’d LOVE to see a nail-polish museum to check out the evolution of lacquer. I think it’d be a hit. Someone needs to get on that, and if there already is one out there, I need to know about it!

Are you scared of needles? Yes, kinda. The tatoo needles no, but the medicinal ones that they insert into my innocent, guilty of nothing veins, quite.
What book are you reading at the moment? Truth be told, Obligation code of Slovenia (sorry for the clumsy translation, I have no idea how you name it in English). For relaxation the third part of Harry Potter, for the 12574th time. I should be rereading Song of Ice and Fire so I can read the newly released part, but don’t have time.
If you could live in a HUGE old castle for free (but with modern conveniences) would you? Is that a rethorical question? I’m *obsessed* with castles. If you like them, you should totally visit Slovenia, we have loads of them.
Tell me about your favorite non-beauty related blogs: They are Slovene, called Hirkani and “pa ne še en blog” (not another blog). Very cool ones, I love to read them.
If you were visiting your favorite kind of museum, what would it be (modern, natural, classic art, cartoon, car…)? I love museums, I usually go for art, history, also natural … whatever sounds interesting enough to me.
If you were to visit Italy for 2 weeks, where would you go? Southern Italy sounds more appealing to me, also Rome, of course, for it’s history, also Firenze, Napoli, Verona, Pompei, of course, if you’re into history… Italy is a pretty lovely country. OR! Since you’re RIGHT around the corner from Slovenia, you can come and visit, we have lots to show you.
What are you doing this weekend? Trying to study for my next exam and seein my BF, so he wont’ forget how I look like all together in this crazy times of studying.

Nailtastic´s last post…Orly Bubbly Bombshell
1.How was your week? Hellacious. My mother is in the hospital and will require 24-hour care until we can move her to a home, which will also be hellacious.
2.What is the longest you ever waited in line for anything (tickets, an amusement park ride, post office, etc.)? I can remember a horrendous three hour wait for re-booking in the Orlando airport due to a flight cancellation during which I was told I could go home on Sunday (it was Thursday); waiting for the Toy Story ride at Disneyland (maybe an hour and a half); and waiting for AFI tickets (maybe an hour).
3.What’s on your nails? Nubar Gem.
4.Are you scared of needles? Incredibly.

9.If you were to visit Italy for 2 weeks, where would you go? This questions makes me feel extremely uncultured, as I do not have an answer! Even more shameful is that I am Italian. So I’ll take Di’s suggestion!
10.What are you doing this weekend? I’m sure it will be lots of hospital visits and stress. Three days weekends are one of my favorite things on earth, but unfortunately not this one.
I attended college near Hearst Castle…it is quite amazing. Enjoy it!

AMAZING (k)

Are you scared of needles?

my science textbook.
If you could live in a HUGE old castle for free (but with modern conveniences) would you?
YAAAAAA
Tell me about your favorite non-beauty related blogs:
my tumblr. :$
If you were visiting your favorite kind of museum, what would it be (modern, natural, classic art, cartoon, car…)?
natural.
If you were to visit Italy for 2 weeks, where would you go?
im going there in 2 years for my grade 11 trip. WOOO.
What are you doing this weekend?
movies. <33
How was your week?
Very long, it seemed like. We only had one warm day! The rest were thunderstorms!
What is the longest you ever waited in line for anything (tickets, an amusement park ride, post office, etc.)?
Um, an hour. I have zero patience so it’s an hour or I go.
What’s on your nails?
A very chipped and outgrown manicure of butter LONDON’s Primrose Hill Picnic. I’ll be doing a new mani tonight,
Are you scared of needles?
Ha ha ha ha ha, no. I’ve had my blood drawn since I was four months old and I get TPT for my migraines monthly which involves a needle on my scalp so no, I’m not scared of them. I’ve never actually understood the fear for needles, but I guess that’s because I’ve been exposed to them since I was very, very young and others haven’t.
What book are you reading at the moment?
How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents by Julia Alvarez
If you could live in a HUGE old castle for free (but with modern conveniences) would you?
Only if I didn’t have to clean it.
Tell me about your favorite non-beauty related blogs:
I read “Reese Dixon” a lot because her kid Atti has CP just like I do. She chose my mom’s path (not to institutionalize him) and I find her very inspiring. Her blog is part Atticus, part craft. and part recipe blog. I hate the recipes (I’m rather picky), but I love the crafts and reading about Atticus (aka Atti). I also reading One Pearl Button and a few others.
If you were visiting your favorite kind of museum, what would it be (modern, natural, classic art, cartoon, car…)?
That’s hard because I’ll go to just about any museum (okay, maybe not a car museum), but I really love museums that allow me to touch everything so children’s museums have a very big soft spot with me. I’m the type of autistic that learns through being able to do the actions and feel the artwork/bones/whatever and children’s museums are the ones that do that! I wish they made an adult museum like that. I like digging up bones, painting my face and trying to tap dance (I did actually tap dance for a year…before my mom stole my shoes), going into a water place and getting wet, getting dirty, constructing things out of foam blocks, painting, making masks….I’m just that kind of person.
If you were to visit Italy for 2 weeks, where would you go?
Milan, Tuscany, Rome and definitely Florence. I love Michelangelo and Bernini. All of Bernini’s beautiful sculptures (Apollo and Daphne; David; Truth Unveiled By Time; Pluto and Proserpina) are in Rome at the Galleria Borghese. Michelangelo’s David is housed at the Galleria dell’Academia in Florence (Florence was, and still is, an city of the arts). I mean, the Sistine Chapel would be wonderful to see and everything, but I love seeing sculptures. If I had to choose a few cities, I’d narrow it down and visit the art hubs–Florence, Milan and Rome. I love art.
What are you doing this weekend?
Um, I have no idea. It’s summer vacation for me so anything goes pretty much!
1)How was your week? Me too, finally getting over the seems never ending cough that came with this last flu bug.
2)What is the longest you ever waited in line for anything (tickets, an amusement park ride, post office, etc.)? Long time since I waited in line for anything – really hate them and got used to always getting comped early on in my life for tons of things. Maybe 2 hr to get into a out door concert for the Beach Boys & Greatful Dead eons ago…showing my age here!
3)What’s on your nails?ParleZ-Vous OPI? With a strip of silver So Easy Stripe Rite on the very end of the tips – pedi – nada also on my fingers right now – doing major nail treatments to them.
4)Are you scared of needles? Hardly. I am a laboratory scientists. Use them all the time. Don’t mind getting stuck by others long as they are good and don’t hit a tendon or bone.
4)What book are you reading at the moment? Greater Journey by David McCullagh about Amercians in France during the 1800′s
5)If you could live in a HUGE old castle for free (but with modern conveniences) would you? Long as I did not have to clean it would love to!
6)Tell me about your favorite non-beauty related blogs:Indie musicians (various) and their travel tales on the road, creating process, etc. & Travel Blogs – folks that are semi-professional writers who travel most of their time.
7)If you were visiting your favorite kind of museum, what would it be (modern, natural, classic art, cartoon, car…)?Wow..hard one. I am super eclectic when it comes to this. I love modern and classic art, love to tour history homes, natural parks, natural history museums and on and on. Probably would not want to go to a cartoon museum however.
8)If you were to visit Italy for 2 weeks, where would you go? Depends on the time of year…interior Italy (Rome) is HOT in the summer. I don’t like to vacation where it’s super hot. I really adore No. Italy & Italian Coast (which is a whole lot of miles on both sides of the boot to tour around. Don’t miss Florence & Tuscany, Umbria, Calabria (late 3 are regions of Italy I really liked aside from all of No. Italy, Watch out for the major tourist areas – big time prices – way cheaper to see a few and spend the bulk of the time in the countryside that is beautiful and get to know the local culture (very friendly to travelers) and stay in some darling little places along the way.
9)What are you doing this weekend Going to our Art in The Park – which is just south of where you are right now my dear…I live in Morro Bay just down the hwy from where you are at Hearst Castle. BTW – In college I took the course to be a tour guide there and worked a couple summers back when they still let us who worked there have a big old party and go into the outdoor pool. It’s beautiful here right now and so glad you are enjoying my backyard. I adore living here. Be sure to go down to Cambria and poke around and of course come to Morro Bay and try if you can to get in and eat at Dockside. Don’t miss out cute, funky Embarcadero.
I thought the drawing looked like you too.

How was your week?
Hate to say it, but more of the same.
What is the longest you ever waited in line for anything (tickets, an amusement park ride, post office, etc.)?
Can’t recall, as I’m generally loathe to wait in long lines, but probably was concert tickets (back in the days before internet) or lines at Disneyland.
What’s on your nails?
Tips are Zoya’s Faye and toes have horribly grown out and slightly chipped CG Ahoy! still. Need a pedi!
Are you scared of needles?
Not particularly, the logical side of my brain knows they only pinch for a second. Giving blood is a whole other animal though, I get woozy and have nearly passed out on several occasions. I’ve deducted that it is the changing of the vials, with the needle wiggling in your arm, which does it. Getting a little woozy just thinking about it.
What book are you reading at the moment?
No books right now, although I did order one that has to do with my future plans that I’m very excited (and evidently somewhat cryptic) about.
If you could live in a HUGE old castle for free (but with modern conveniences) would you?
Hmm, no probably not. Not that I can’t appreciate them, because being an Interior Designer I can appreciate most styles. I’ve been to Hearst Castle several times, and it’s fascinating to me (although I must admit that the pools are my favorites). My personal style tends to be more modern and clean-lined though. And I live alone, I’d get lonely in a huge castle, lol.
Tell me about your favorite non-beauty related blogs:
Do I follow any non-beauty related blogs? Hmm… I don’t think I do, I’ll have to remedy that, lol.
If you were visiting your favorite kind of museum, what would it be (modern, natural, classic art, cartoon, car…)?
Art, just about any, although I’m quite fond of the Impressionist era, and also the ancient Egyptian, Roman & Greek stuff.
If you were to visit Italy for 2 weeks, where would you go?
Well, Rome is obviously a must-stop for me, see the above answer. I’d also be interested in those beautiful coastal towns that seem to be carved into the hills. That’s off the tip of my head, I’m sure there are many other places I’d love to see.
What are you doing this weekend?
Mmm… probably going to see Bridesmaids and shopping and/or lunch with my best friend. Other than that, more of the same!
Hope you’re having a fantastic time in San Simeon!
1 How was your week?
So-so. I’m in a stressful situation at the moment.
2 What is the longest you ever waited in line for anything (tickets, an amusement park ride, post office, etc.)?
Maybe half an hour. I tend to avoid having to wait long.
3 What’s on your nails?
China Glaze – Ahoy!
4 Are you scared of needles?
Yes! Even when not used on myself. I once joined my boyfriend when he had to give in blood. I ended up in the chair, because i almosyt fainted…
5 What book are you reading at the moment?
“Sommer der Eisvögel”. A english book translated in German read by a Dutch girl
6 If you could live in a HUGE old castle for free (but with modern conveniences) would you?
Sure!
7 Tell me about your favorite non-beauty related blogs:
euh…. maybe the news? Can’t think of one right now

I like modern art the most. In fact, i’m currently doing my Masters Modern & Contemporary Art!
9 If you were to visit Italy for 2 weeks, where would you go?
I’ve been quite a few times to Italy for two weeks. I would now visit my brother near Perugia. I would like to go to Sicily and for the rest just visit smaller towns.
10 What are you doing this weekend?
Working on my thesis *ugh*
HI!
I’m skipping the other questions but wanted to suggest to visit Florence, specially if you like the Renaissance period. Florence is like a dream full of poetry and art, and specially for spending romantic evenings. If I was going to Italy for the first time, and spent 2 weeks there, I would take 4-5 days to visit Rome, every clichet on pictures! My advice: walking Rome around on the evenings! She’s so amazingly misterious all lightened up! TRy to avoid july-august if you can, all the monuments are way too crowded. After Rome, I would visit Florence for another 4 – 5 days, it is just so romantic to be there! And then, to take a break from all the visiting and so that it feels like really really holidays, I would spend another 4 or 5 days in an “Agriturismo” in Tuscany!! Tasting all the authentic food, and visiting beautiful places, doing some sport outdors (trekking, biking, horse riding, or some water sports) with a landscape that is really unique, and come back home full of energy! Yeah!
