GET YOUR DIVA ON - You're a Goddess,not a Bitch!

There's some debate over whether being a DIVA is a good thing or a bad thing. Because the original definition of the word meant a famous or celebrated opera singer - often one who was "troublesome" - the word "diva" historically carried a negative connotation.

Now, let's take a closer look at "DIVA" The root word is derived from the Italian noun diva, meaning a female deity. The Latin root word is from divus for a male diety and the plural of diva would be dive (dee-vay, not dive into the pool!) This would seem to mean that a Diva is a goddess and not a prima donna bitch, wouldn't it?

To me the term DIVA is an empowering word. We women have traditionally had difficulty valuing ourselves, putting ourselves forward and being proud of who we are. A Diva does not have that problem does she? A Diva revels in her own power, is secure in her feminine and just as secure in her masculine. A Diva has power and knows how and when to apply that power. A Diva is confident, genuine, giving and has an innate sense of self. There's nothing negative about that! I think it might be time for the world to redefine the word DIVA, don't you?

And so, my DIVA sisters, walk proud in your Diva-ness. Get your Diva on and let your Goddess shine - you're not a bitch, you're Diva (besides who ever said bitch was such a bad thing??)

I just finished three fun designs for a couple of my online stores specifically for us DIVAS that I'd like to share with you to help you get your Diva on.

Get these designs on tees, aprons, hats, cups even shoes! And don't forget - my stores are a great way to shop for your friends - got any birthdays or special events coming up?

NEW ON LINE STORE AT ZAZZLE

Because of recent changes at CafePress, I have decided to move my online PopArtDiva Store to Zazzle. I'm really excited because Zazzle has a tremendous shopping experience for it's clientele - an interface that I'm really excited about you (and me!) using for your online shopping experience.

Now, don't get too excited yet - I've got to reformat over 100 images, rebuild and relink all products on my website (www.popartdiva.com) and build a whole new store at Zazzle before you can shop for all my fun art at my NEW LOCATION - POP ART DIVA - Gallery and Gifts of a Pop Art Nature. Right now I have only one design up but I will be adding more in the coming weeks - one at a time.

In the meantime, please continue to enjoy my great products at my original location The POP ART DIVA BOUTIQUE - and be sure to get those pet/people snack bowls, clocks, coasters and other products that will not be available at my new location!

Happy One Click Shopping - no matter which PopArtDiva Marketplace you choose!

SHOE MUSEUMS - How DIVA Can You Get?

WHAT? FLIP FLOPS AREN'T CALLED THONGS ANYMORE?

I just had to share this with you - there are shoe museums out there! Did you know that? I didn't but I love the idea of visiting one!

I found this article - Girlfriend Getaways Shoe Museum List - with some museums listed. Unfortunately they're all across the pond, but have no fear, there are a ton of virtual shoe museums online:

High Heels Shoe Museum

Virtual Shoe Museum

Shoe Icons

I also found this fun blog - Manolo's Shoe Blog - not affiliated with Manolo Blahniks probably, but fun none the less - especially if you click the Gallery of Horrors link!

Now, is there anything more DIVA than a shoe museum??

Meet ELIZABETH BRADLEY - You're Going To Love Her Fiction!

I am tickled to death that my friend, Liz - writer Elizabeth Bradley - has finally found the time to start her blog. I have been privileged to have been allowed to read some of the short stories for her Boomer Tales™ series as these works progressed and fell in love with her writing.

Each story became a special treat for me. Like a really expensive piece of chocolate from Belgium, Elizabeth's stories were something I hoarded for those luxurious moments of 'me time' - well crafted words and images that I savored slowly, indulging in the rich quality, wallowing in the sheer enjoyment of reading for pleasure.

At the end of each story I was jonesing for the next one. What would Elizabeth come up with next? What plot twist was she going to trip me up with? Which character of hers was going to make me laugh next - and which one was I going to want to slap for being such a pain in the derriere?

Liz crafts her characters so well you feel like they are a part of your life, you react to them as people and form actual likes and dislikes (there's a mother in one story I still want to slap silly!). Her story lines can take some really surprising twists and turns which sneak up on you quietly, I have often found myself actually laughing out loud or gasping at a plot twist I didn't see coming.

When I find a writer I really like I become selfish and I want more, more, more. What I love about the Elizabeth's blog is that I'm going to get more, more, more! It's a series of "Bits and Bytes" of what Liz calls "micro stories" - what a great idea! I can have a little indulgence of pleasure reading - a little fix of Elizabeth Bradley writing - every post.

Yup, I'm an Elizabeth Bradley Fiction junkie. Check out Elizabeth Bradley Fiction - Bits & Bytes and you will be too.
