Pretty Much My Entire Personality Encapsulated in Two Christmas Presents from My Parents

Item One.

As Worn with Kilt

Steve Madden "Ajax" Boots.

Item Two.

Welcome to the Family

Hat form from Wilshire Wig. I've named her "Hedda."

Thanks, Mom and Dad!

  3. Too much fun! I had almost the exact same form at the shop back in the day (and staffer Helen painted an odd face on her).

    We, too, named her Hedda.


    Your boots, sir, are amazing! ENJOY

  8. I thought you said it was impossible to take a good picture of your own feet like that.

    Those are some awesome Gifts!!! I like the boots! They go well with Utilikilts? (Look at those hairy legs!)

  10. Woo! Sexy legs! Thanks for making my otherwise uneventful day! :)

    Also Hedda is a perfect name. Is she going to remain just a Hedda, or is she also going to get a bodda?

    :)

  11. Sexy legs....and Hedda is great to have as well. Love that you are who you say you are and that you are who you are.

  12. nice.

    my very similar looking hat/wig form and I have enjoyed our seven year friendship and look forward to many more years together. even though i've never asked her name. oh dear. I hope she hasn't been offended. I think I'll have to knit her a new alpaca hat to make up for my rude ways.

  13. good to know thats a hat form--which was not the first thing that came to my mind.

    even funnier: if i were to take a pic of my legs sporting my new black heels they would look strangely similar to your pic but without the socks.

  14. Love those bad-ass boots, and so does my son to whom I showed them. Now he's got a pair on order!

    Happy New Year, dear Franklin...

  17. Thought that was you on the Red Line today but wasn't sure. If you'd been wearing short pants I'd have been sure and would have said "hi". I was traveling with the model of your Lady's Travelling Hat. :)

    That first photo had me thinking your parents were suggesting you become a porn star. (I'm sure Tom will have it framed for his mantle!)

    But -- the second photo convinced me that your parents know you almost scarily well. They'll be hard put to top those gifts next year!

    (P.S. to Harry: I heard on the news that Prince Phillip said the best "get-well-soon" gift he got was a batch of homemade snickerdoodles! Did you have anything to do with that?)

    Great boots (and legs) and great hat form with the perfect name. (I, as a woman of a certain age, used to read "Under Hedda's Hat" in the LA Times when I was a girl too young to catch most of the innuendo).

    Excellent choices by your parents!

  21. Get down on your knees and thank the stars above for such parents! I mean it.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Can you tell your parents that if they ever want to buy Me a Christmass Present I would be Very Very Happy with those Boots....size 43,5 would be Perfect..

    ReplyDelete
  23. Awesome presents. Awesome parents.

    Cool gifts and very cool parents to get them for you. If I had a head form like that I'd name her after one of my aunts-Hedwig. Really-that was her name. Though we always called her Aunt Heddie. Happy New Year Franklin!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Tee hee, you named your wig block Hedda! I love you!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Gosh, it must be great to have parents you understand you like that. I'd kill for that hat form - okay, maybe not actually kill, but I'd tickle someone until distraction for it.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Are you gonna draw a face on that? Give it some personality?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Great boots...stunning legs!
    I hope the wig block is a 23 inch...

    top to toe covered! LOVE the boots, and I'm sure we'll see Hedda soon in some fetching headwear.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Hah, I name all of my friends (er, props) too.

    Alphonse is the headform, Percival is the first hand form, and Millicent is the second.

    I have a new head form and her name might be Beatrix, but I'm not sure yet. She looks a tiny bit like a cylon, so I may need something more...robotic.

  31. Dear, dear Franklin. Those boots are screaming for a pair of hand knit socks! Will you wear them to VK Live? They are awesome!

  34. VERY nice! Happy New Year, Franklin!

  35. I saw the boots and thought to myself "I want those boots." Then I saw the head . . . I am sure my cellmates at work were wondering what I was mumbling about this time! "boots" "head" no wonder they give me lots and lots of room.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I like the versatility of your boots, you can zip or tie. They are beautiful too.

    ReplyDelete
