Tickled Pink To Be A Pink Lady!

Holly over at 504 Main, has crowned me The Tickled Pink Lady today, and although it's a very sad day for me, I'm gonna explain and then turn up the frown for my new visitors.

Hi, Come on in, I'm Lisa aka as The Bumpkin. It slips every now and again, and I let it for authenticity, but for the most part, I'm really not a bumpkin, other than geographically. Bumpkin is My Captain John's pet name from me. This Chicago native got trapped by a Mississippi Girl, and was teased a little by his friends, so yes, it's a pet name, and I am okay with that.


The swing is located 1000 yards from The Gulf of Mexico on The Mississippi Gulf Coast. Yes, the oil will wash up on my beach (I have lived here 39 years, so yes it's my beach) today. It breaks my heart. Captain John and I are Animal Welfare Activists and have a huge heart for dolphins and sea turtles. Without going into the gory details, we are absolutely crushed about what has happened to our ocean and our wildlife. As a Captain, John has been especially concerned about the birds on the barrier islands. I'm sure you saw them swimming in oil, and dying while the network cameramen, just stood there and filmed them yesterday. Go visit Captain John's button over there on my sidebar, to hear the truth, from someone who really knows firsthand. He's not all nice and sweet about it either, this is our livelihood, and we are devastated. My readers and I simply ask one thing from the powers that be, whatever yours is. We simply say, swim, swim, swim, fly, fly, fly, can you wish or pray that for me today?

It's a nice pleasant thought, but the reason for this is heartbreaking, our government and BP have killed the Gulf of Mexico, why would they ever drill this deep if the did not have a plan for this emergency, we are helpless, yesterday they made the leak twice as bad. Let's let this be for now, it's suppose to be all smiles today. So here we go!
Here at the swing, you are gonna find a little fashion.....

You may on occasion find a pair of shoes or two in a post around here. My readers, are busting out laughing right this second. I hear you all, don't make me break out the thigh voodoo, we have company today, ya'll be good.
They're laughing because they know that the Bumpkin will throw down on some shoes, in a Mississippi second. (Pun intended of course)

Valentino anyone?

One thing I share with my readers, is my love for photography, not just those everyday clicks, but the really special ones.


I love quotes, I have journals full of them I have kept for years. I'll share a few with you throughout the post today.

I have the best readers and followers, no really, wait to you meet them, you'll love them. We keep it real! If I feel I say it, if they feel they say it, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
Be careful not to get them stirred up boy, they can be a tough bunch!




We have things like, Heinie Tingles (who's that blogger Diva), and Fashion Orgasms.

Do you know C Lou? This is referred to as a Shoegasm, here at the swing.

Wednesday's are Wordless Wednesdays, nothing but fabulous images I steal shamelessly. Click HERE to see some from the past.



We've even been known to do a little baking. See the button on the sidebar?

My readers and I had a good laugh recently, when I lost a follower due to racy pics.

Incidentally all images came from my Tumblr page, do you Tumbl? If you do, please find me there, by clicking HERE.


Much that I have learned, and share came from a few lovely ladies, that I call My Fashion Divas. From Dallas to Australia, and all points in between. These ladies know their fashion, and have shared so much with me. Stick around and I'll show you the ropes.

How about one more for the road?

Ya'll come back and see me, pinkie swear?
And don't forget.....Swim, Swim, Swim, Fly, Fly, Fly...Promise me you won't forget.

This was a lot of fun, now before I go,
Here's a kiss on one cheek.....

Now turn, and another on the other!
Love,
The Bumpkin
