Introducing...Me

     Hi! Well here we go. This is my first blog ever! What in the world was I thinking when I signed up for this! Allow me to introduce myself! I am a sweet, sassy, southern girl who loves all things fashion and beauty related! I am a frequent  TV viewer, Broadway attendee,and concert goer! I am very girlie, yet through all my girlieness I love football, nascar, and wrestling!

    
Let me narrow this down for you. I love UGA football! Even though I did not attend the University of Georgia, I breathe all things UGA! www.georgiadogs.com/  I was born and raised in the great state of Georgia! I grew up with trapper keepers, jelly shoes, glitter purses, NKOTB (I think we all know what that means), and college football Saturdays.
     There are several things that southerners are passionate about: God, food, family, and football. College football in the South is a very serious deal! Many a friendship (and dare I say family) have come to blows over this! Team logos, and colors are displayed and worn proudly! There is no room for mediocrity in the effort to support your team! I grew up knowing all of this.  In fact I was one of the lucky southerners that came from a house divided: my Mom (classy lady) is a UGA fan, my Dad (poor man) is a Bama fan! As you can tell I followed in the steps of my Mom! Afterall, like mother like daughter!

    I am also a nascar fan! I love racing! I love fast cars, it's true! Case and point, last fall I went to a few dealerships researching different options. My first stop took me to a Dodge dealership. I got to test drive a Dodge Charger. Sitting behind the wheel of that car did nothing but make me want more power! What a smooth ride! I say that to say, I will be watching the Daytona 500 this Sunday and pulling for Dale Jr! www.jrnation.com/

     So, how did I come by titling my blog The Plum Peacock? My favorite color is purple! Purple is such a beautiful, pretty color! Purple is the color of royalty. It can also boost imagination, and creativity. Personally, I think purple makes a bold fashion statement! Like these shoes,

     or this dress (as worn by Isla Fisher in Confessions Of A Shopaholic).

     
     I am also very fond of the peacock! Where I grew up at, in Georgia, down the road from our house a man raised several peacocks. In the late afternoon if you listened for it, you could hear the peacocks squawking. It was loud, but it was always interesting to hear! The thing I like most about them, is probably the thing that everyone else does: their beautiful feathers! I love the colors of the "eyes", and the color of the bird its self. Just gorgeous! 
     Peacocks are also a close companion to my favorite color, purple. "The peacock which is the national bird of India, is known for its beauty and grace. It is a symbol of beauty, prosperity, royalty, love, compassion, soul and peace," (indusguru.com). 

    
  
     And just like purple, the peacock can also make a bold, stunning statement! Wether it is done through decorating like this

  
or through a statement of fashion! Just look at the use of peacock feathers in this dress (by Love Karlak), and this cuff (by Lily Posh).

     So, there you have it. I combined two of my favorite things (purple, and peacocks) to make my blog name. Just like I did in this post I plan to blog about fashion, sports, and whatever else that strikes my fancy! I hope you all enjoy, and have a great day!
