Life as I see It!

It's AMERICANA!
What a week of great music! I got myself to a few shows. Wednesday night I saw Raul Malo always a pleasure to hear his smooth voice and a chance to shake my hips. Frank was pouring the crown royal at the bar too! Thanks Frank! Great to run into old friends too!

Thursday night  I made it out to the Americans Awards what a line up! John Mellencamp, Rosanne Cash, Emmylou Harris, Jack White ( Lalie's fav) & Wanda Jackson to list a few. I truly enjoyed the Carolina Chocolate Drops it was Bluegrass Rap are usually best quoted "That's Americana" by host Jimmy Lauderdale.

I got to the awards early and was greeted by Jim Lauderdale with a kiss in his Manuel suit now that's AMERICANA! lol! A special performance by Robert Plant was at the end for the audience guests that wasn't televised. He's quite a character I still can't forget him planning my trip at the shop and speaking how great my age was and finding Lauren Wray leapord bra in the dressing room thinking that was what he was trying on as we hadn't put his suit in the dressing room yet . What memories.  A double whammy for me they mentioned the NUDIE suit on the show too!

MAKING A DIFFERENCE:

The last few weeks have been amazing. I got more folks wanting to help with Rhinestone Cure. Mentions of getting Rhinestone Cure to go to Missisippi, New Oreleans and Washington DC. I'm so excited! In celebration of the events to come and the connections made we plan to throw a party November 7th at Belcourt Taps & Tapas: Havana style so get your fadoras & feathers ready! It's going to be smokin~

MAKING OF A BIG STARAs you may be all hearing I have been in the TCB mode! I'm extremely blessed and got lots of good going on. I'm in a making of my inner talent my voice. I always wanted to be a cartoon! I do voice overs, act, etc... Well it's all in the making in a huge sense be on the look out. I love that there are a lot of beleivers out there! AKA Professional Giggler and don't you forget it!

Once one of the big dreams get on full force you'll be seeing those undies, and various other products I'm working on and then the BOOK. I got lots to say and best quoted by my grandfather,"that little one  she's got that mouth and not afraid to use it!" LOL! Always voicing my Word/ Language aka MOISMS!

BEING HUMBLE!

When times get rough it seems we reach closer to our dreams! I have always been RICH at heart as to pocket but have been trying to learn new ways of life. For being a person who wasn't to ask for anything to start asking has been unusual but the surprize of YES's are grand! I'm truly loved! But even being loved there's pain and loneliness. I'm loving myself more & more each day and conquering my dreams but still remain Loyal to those I LOVE and thanks for loving me near & far...

Looking back to half price sparklin treasures...

Daddy's little girl and he's got the T -shirt to prove it!

Look at how suave he was back then and you thought getting ones attention was difficult then well just wait and see! Oh how the times have changed.

Speaking of change : one of the most reliable things in life if that! So much to learn, love & respect from one another. May your loyality be as strong as mine when adding a little sparkle into your life

My father, best known as a Rhinestone Remebrant but simply one named Manuel. He is a designer to the stars and then some but refers himself as a costume designer. 

Personally speaking,I understand this clearly since dressing in costume at my home growning up was a norm of many great things to express yourself. Just as it is in his rhinestone creations. As a child I wore pants of every color with embriodered flowers,flames & M's on everything! Image that! I still have my rhinestone hankercheif bikini from being a child might not cover much at this time in life but a tresure I won't let go of.

And now you can too? That's for half the price for already made showroom pieces and dress like a Rhinestone Honkytonk Heiress such as myself...but just remember I got the birthmark to proof it! LOL!

The ideal way to go is custom for us "one of kind" folks,but the pieces in the shop are that as well but as is! And they must go to make room for some new spectular creations so get on it! Come on in and take a look don't be scared because we might be too nice

Also this Wednesday we got some cajun music in the shop at 2pm during that time you also can take on that special offer till the Tequila runs out we might change our minds!

~Storm 2010~Birthday plans~ Vacation time~Manuel's on the road?

What to do during the rain fall when you can't do much but stay safe at home. So what's a Rhinestone Diva to do?: I decided to fire up a CAO cigar and got my best friend into doing the same, for her first of many times to come. My BFF Laura was getting scared as the running rain water was rising no more then a block away from me.  She packed up her special things in her car and moved some furniture out of the way hoping nothing to be damaged and came to shelter with her cat Albert at the Rhinestone Honky-tonk Palace.


My little Hilbilly Bordello up on a hill had no water damamge but now I'm sensing the dampy and spoiled water smell now but over all the rhinestones are still safe & sound.

Laura's place is gettiing back in her Martha Stewart ways as her basement filled up to 10 feet of water with out damaging the inside but shes getting back in order some during the stress full time.

My father Manuel ~Rhinestone Remebrant had his bridge washed out but doesn't stop my dad from a days of work...as he would say, "The roads are beautiful!"




I saved a friend. Blake tried to check on Manuel as Lalie is getting new carpet,and thanks to Stacy McCloud, Ms Lauren Wray has adopted a flood outlaw kitty named Baby Maybe from Storm 2010. Over all here at the Manuel camp we are grateful and wish all those in need well!




Next on the charts ... Lalie reminded me today what's up with my birthday plans? Due that it is birthday month (May 30) it's celebration times oh yeah!


A pre -event is Brent Young's Wonderland on Friday May 21st also honoring my bday and proceeds to Rhinestone Cure. I'm dressing as the Queen ` go figure!


Rhinestone Cure's long awaited website is soon to be up with all the future details and events to come including the big event this fall. And future interviews too with "Laugh with Morelia"


As for my birthday I just might leave that in others hands....but as most know I might have to intervene...LOL!
I have no problem throwing or being apart of a party! whoo hoo!


Next in mind is a long deserved vacation. I have a feeling it's going to be a Manuel vacation on the road so be on the look out for what I'm up too!


Kosher Taco Productions is booming with new events and those wanting to hire for there next extravaganza!
contact directly: koshertaco@mac.com


And just a little fashion advise: Rhinestones are always approiate in my world!

April Maddness

As some of you may know by now thru my adventures on facebook...I won Oyster Easter Queen 2010 this year! I'm feeling great and can't stop laughing & smiling! I had so much fun that I had  my cute bunny friends & my celeb dad: Manuel  pimping out my candidacy.I had Easter eggs with expensive treats to win Manuel swag,CAO cigars, Dan Read Make-Up to kissing your queen to be & $5.00 tequila Cuevro Gold shots! I definitely worked it!

If those of you who don't know about Oyster Easter & all it's about check out their site and donate to a great cause or just be apart of it as I am : www.crcnashville.org

Being a Rhinestone Honkytonk Heiress keeps me busy and ths month I got lots to share with you...

My production company: Kosher Taco is having a few showcases at the Manuel Studio this month. The following events: Wednesday April 7th 2pm David Onley, Wednesday April 14th Tullie Brae 5pm, Friday April 23rd 4pm Declan McGarry and on Wednesday April 28th Safe Keffer 2pm. Not only is it a great chance to hear great music but to enjoy the shopping at the sparkling couture House of Manuel. There will be "special " discounts all this month of April and if you can't afford a "one of a kind"' piece now you surely can now come inside for details! The goal is that Manuel wants everyone in "Rhinestones" this year LOL!

Also a well known event taking place this month: my dads birthday/benefit at Manuel's Mountain Saturday April 24th $50.00 ticket this year to benefit his dream of having an  Fashion Institute to continue the legacy http://www.manuelcouture.com/ for more details.

We loved for you to cover the event if interested contact me directly: morelia@manuelcouture.com or if you want to give us stuff like Tequila , wine & spirits? Cause we will take it! LOL!

I like to thank those so far who have helped in getting this party a going beside myself and our great staff! Graphics by Brian Tull and printing done  from Neddy. I truly look forward to seeing my uncle Marty Stuart & the Superlatives and rocking out with Micki Free!  The party tease sipping  and /or taking a tequila shot , a dance on the dance floor  with Manuel,to puffing a CAO cigar. What's a Heiress to do but enjoy such leisure for such a great cause.

If you get thrisy my friends...you can quench your thrist with some Dos Equis and hang with the most interesting man. And to staify your hunger with great homemade Mexican food to a treat of Sunset Grill's late night known chicken nachos & absorbing the alcohol with Corner Pub's fried pickles! And  for those in need for a quick getter upper sip a regular/sugar free Red Bull!   So much more but if you don't get a ticket then you won't be able to say you hung out with *** **** & *******? LOL!

And the party hasn't even started yet ..I got Cinco de Mayo on my mind! Candye Kane doing a showcase @ the Manuel Studio for donations to Rhinestone Cure (http://www.rhinestoncure.org/) The big event later this summer with surprize guests! I can't wait ! If you want to participate and be apart of rhinestone cure and the events to come...please email me directly at : morelia@rhinestonecure.org

Well eventhough I have been called a queen from time to time I got the offical title so this Rhinestone Honk-tonk Heiress will "sparkle, shine & survive" in any type of lights~ word!

" May your rhinestones always shine!"

Love & laughter,

Dating over 40?

Something I wanted to share with my friends....

Recently I have been watching a few segments on women dating over 40 as a "second round". I personally find this to be ridiculous! 

Speaking for myself...it was quite one sided. Dating over 40 isn't the end of the world or a 2nd round per say thing. There are many lovely women out there such as myself that are on their 1st round of dating and never been  married. I generally don't consider myself or do others consider me in that age group much since I carry my age well. I have had made many choices and been raised somewhat as a late bloomer and I am still SINGLE. 

I rather be single then date someone and still be alone. I have done this and don't get me wrong it isn't healthy. I want to be married and I want the wedding and all what's about. Coming from a divorced family I feel & wish to do this married thing once but need a  real boyfriend first?  Though been told to go with the times...I'm not much into the on line dating and what it is about but I do understand the reasons for it to be able to meet those you may not find else where, but what happened to the instant connection? 

We all say we want this image we all have created for ourselves but when it comes down to it anything can happen. For example I can be placed in a room full of models with this perfect guy and steal that guy that wouldn't normally find my image as what he was thinking of first. I truly believe its a connection / a electricity that is unknown to make those things happen.

 I'm about to turn 42 years old and I'm single and enjoying life and out there popular doing things I love. I am a professional and look great. I'm not the typical size 2-4 gal you have on the Bachelor looking for love. I'm actually a size 12 at 5'7" and well put together and just because I'm over a size 6 I dont have to be portrayed to date a large guy as shown on TV looking for more to love?

 I personally have dated the artsy, smart, good fit guy similar to an attractive man shown on the Bachelor TV show type guy, yet I'm not the typical stereotype gal selected for the show or if one line you pre type what you are looking for in a profile on line? I'm exotic looking and keep it together for being over 40 and I'm taking the steps each day to prepare myself for the love of my life where ever he may be or have been fortune to known but wasn't ready yet. It takes time to love yourself and find that equal medium between your physical & emotional. 

In meeting this match I believe we shared a foot step or two but just haven't had the moment to meet one another face to face!  So I personally don't feel I need to be reminded it's more difficult to meet a man at this age and I need to be more creative to do so beyond I have naturally. It's not the end of the world dating over 40 for some it's just the beginning of making the mold!

2009 ends 2010 begins ready to rumble ...Rhinestones & all
