A reserved demeanor with liberal smiles

home-made hippie beads & a long leather chain
wooden beads and open toes

Clink! Tink! Clash!
Lips painted the same color as her nails.
red.

eyes bright with a reserved smile

'So, what do you want to do when you grow up?'
A quick flip of the hair and a pixies wink over her shoulder
'Sellllllll flowers?' Sarcasm, the nectar of her words

Shimmerings...;) Nope. I didn't give her any flowers. LoL, I imagine though that if I had had any, I would have. P&L.
I like the whole thing, don't you know.
