Bossy and her daughter went to a mall briefly when Bossy was looking for a cheap feather boa for her Marilyn Merlot dress, and about that? How come cheap boas and their shedding feathers are always around when you don’t need them, but never when you do?
Anyway, at the mall, Bossy’s daughter spied this green headband and was all, “It’s only $3.00, please please,” and Bossy was all, “Didn’t you bring your own money? Because Bossy needs that $3.00 to pay for more important hair accessories, like wine.”
And so Bossy’s daughter bought her own green headband, and just to spite Mrs. Bossy Tightwad, she has worn it every day since.

April 16, 2009 at 7:45 amWhen I saw the photo and read the first few sentences that said you were at the mall, I expected the story to end with “and then the modeling talent scout handed us her business card and made us promise that we would call.” Seriously, Bossy’s daughter is breathtakingly beautiful.

Talented, spunky, beautiful. I Love Bossy’s Daughter.
Grandma J says

The Dollar Tree has feather boas and crochet and knit scarfs. I buy them for my transvestite teddy bear, Phillip Johnny Bob.

Bossy’s daughter has a beautiful look in her eyes, and that tells me she’s pretty on the inside.

michele says
April 16, 2009 at 10:14 pmBoth daughter of Bossyand headband are gorgeous! Now onto other important things . Bossy, could you still get wine?
Jill says
April 16, 2009 at 10:57 pmplease delete this if you just plain don’t feel like hearing it, and I will completely understand, but her scar only highlights her beauty. She is one gorgeous girl. I say this because my daughter also has a scar and I have come to see this in time. Beautiful girl, she is. Look at those eyelashes, for god’s sake!
magpie says
April 16, 2009 at 11:17 pmWine is a hair accessory? If you rinse blonde hair with red wine, what happens?

Now Bossy, about that three dollars. Bossy would not believe it, but where I live the little independent grocery store– which is hardly a grocery store and more like a convenience store– anyway, recently put out a whole cart of wine marked down to three dollars. Expecting it to taste like yesterday’s vinegar, I bought one bottle for three bucks. After I could collect myself enough to go in public, I raced back down there and bought a million cases for, what, fifty bucks? (Numbers, math, and all. Whatever.)
My point, and believe it or not I have one, is that sometimes three bucks can buy a GREAT bottle of wine. And I normally draw the line taste-wise at 7-8 bucks.
In short, I stumbled upon a three-dollar miracle that won’t last forever, but is stockpiling quite nicely in my cupboards.
Ryann says
April 17, 2009 at 1:06 amThat bow goes perfectly with her eyes! Bossy I agree with Laura, every modeling scout should have given you a business card on sight. I too have noticed stores never have what you want when you want it (like a fancy hat for the steeplechase), I think I saw some boas at the dollar tree.
annie says
April 19, 2009 at 6:46 pmOh, that gorgeous girl!
I got my latest feather boa recently at Michael’s Craft store, if you have one. And sometimes you can find them in department store toy sections, by the Cinderella costumes that I wish they made in my size.
