The Lusty Month of May

Can you tell I've been singing songs from "Camelot" all week? I know it's because my hubby and I are watching Stargate SG-1...9th season...with all those episodes that revolve around King Arthur and Merlin (who is, in fact, an alien). Now that I've TOTALLY exposed myself for the nerd I am, it's the very last Wednesday of the month and that means it's time for:

 Bombshell Stamps Hump Day Blog Hop!!!

This month, our illustrious hop mistress, Alison, decided we should choose one of the MANY obscure holidays that fall in May. I thought there were only a couple. Au contraire, mes amis. There is a veritable BOATLOAD of weird holidays to be had in May.

Don't believe me? Go check out this link: Weird May Holidays.

You should have arrived here from Miss Emily's FaBuLoUs blog! If not, oh well! At least you got here! And if you wanna start at the beginning of this wacky hop just go to the Bombshell Blog and start at the beginning...'cuz it's always a good place to start.

I picked May 21...National Waiters and Waitresses Day. Here's my tribute to all the servers out there. May your tips be generous and your customers be pleasant. And, when one of them makes a pass at you just say, "I'm not on the menu...but I should be."

 Order Up!!!

So, here's my entry for the hop. I did a little (okay a LOT) of work in Photoshop to give my Bombshell Angel waitress a quintessential uniform. Let's say...I took liberties. LOTS of liberties.

Like Dr. Frankenstein in his laboratory...I sort of took bits and pieces from several of the digital Bombshell Angel outfits and combined them, rearranged them, spliced them and tweaked them within an inch of their virtual lives...and VOILA!! A 1950's roller-skating waitress was born--complete with pad, pen, roller skates and FaBuLoUs cat-eye glasses. The background is shiny silver paper (it's hard to see in the photo). And the patterned "pie" paper has shiny silver pie tins on it. I added some shiny silver punchinella and some really cute vintage German silverware stickers.
