Hello, I was on hiatus for health reasons and lack of laptop. my motherboard fried and died. but anywhoo...

we left off at the ball, it was beautiful and magical yada yada.....

2 days after the ball on November 23, 2015 Jerry was diagnosed with a stage 4 cancerous brain tumor, a Gliobastoma.

we went to San Francisco and he underwent treatment, we had a ball getting to know each other again. we wined and dined... we sight saw it was so much fun.

On March 23, 2017 Jerry Took his last breath.

Hellur!! I know it’s been AGES it seems, I know the 3 readers who actually follow me have been waiting. but jumping right in, it’s that time again that's right!! Dun Dun Duun, BALL SEASON!! 

What We Wore:

Buttercuppy!!*: Styling a New and Improved Dress Blue Uniform Complete With Blood Stripe && Chevron && a Sparkly New EGA Buckle && New Leather Cover. (Not Shown)

Me’Lisa Lashon: Custom Ankara Dress By Legaci Clothing, My Shoes, from Forever 21 Ages Ago. Clutch && Hair Jewelry By Claire's Accessory Store. Arm Decor, Flash Tatts! Yes Y’all, They’re Fake. I Loved Them && This Dress!! I LOOOOOOOVEE This Dress.

I got the idea from @mindofkye on IG. Her dress inspired my dress && it was (IMPO) the most creative dress at the ball. I loved dancing with my husband && a few friends. I had a Ball!!

Last Words:

Me’Lisa Lashon:

I Can’t Wait For Next Year’s Ball

Buttercuppy!!*

Christmas is so hard to do in Hawai'i, I’m so used to red green and gold && fat guys in red suits, snow, mittens && cold. Here, it’s bright blue, lime green and silver, santa rocks an Aloha shirt, it’s too hot for Hot Chocolate and there (obvi) is no snow. I practically geeked myself up for Christmas && played all the carols but it seemed a futile process. Buttercup wasn’t much help but I don’t blame him, he was raised in a religion that doesn’t celebrate holidays. Next year I’ll try harder. I’ll go all out.

Sinatra is our dog, Buttercup’s dog mostly because he seems to like him better than me but he’ll come around. I’ll keep treats in my pocket or something. Lol.

Shall We Begin? Thursday was the Marine Corps Birthday Ball for Buttercup's Battalion && It Was So Very Fun. I'm Glad I Went && I'm Sure Buttercup is Too. He'll Be Posting His Thoughts Later.

Let's Get Down To The Fun Part... I Did My Own Makeup With Assistance Via Skype From Jelisa, Who Wins The Best Sister Award For Sending Me Her 120 Pro, Carnival && Party Girl Palettes as Well as Her Good Foundation Brush, Mascara Primer && My Favorite Chicken Sauce && She Put Notes For Everything. The Love I Feel Is Amazing && i Truly Do Appreciate Her. I Used Smash Box Photo Finish Primer && Sephora Liquid Foundation. My Blush Was M.A.C Dusty Rose I Believe. For My Gloss i Used E.L.F Pink Lemonade with a Spot of L.A Girl Super Intense Color Extra Glossy Finish in GLG798 Which is a Dark Vampy Lip Paint. Very In For Fall (Thanks Kylie Jenner)).

My Hair Was In Box Braids in a High Bun That Buttercup Helped me With (Clap Clap Clap). Very Chic && Simple.

My Jewerly Was From Icing (Necklace) && Charlotte Russe (Midi Rings && Earrings). I Usually Dislike Statment Necklaces But i Knew I Was Gonna Have To Wear One && I Was Looking For About a Month For One I Liked Enough. This Was The Winner && I Am No Longer Afraid of Statement Necklaces. I Might Find An Outfit To Wear It .

A Few Selfies On The Way The Way To The Ball...

Me Being Photo Bombed By A Few of Buttercup's Friends...

L to R; Buttercup, Milk Dud, Secret Squirrel, && Tru...

The Program...

They Have a Portion Called Ceremony. Takes About An Hour, Its Very Formal and Involves So Much Standing && Sitting && Standing && Sitting. I Can Honestly Say After Ceremony, Dinner Went Pretty Fast (Possibly Due To The Children's Plates We Were Served) && Was Pretty Tasty (Despite Being Very Little To Taste).

Buttercup && I.
