When people get framed in the best of ways,
it pays in the form of a fascinating photo,
when the texture is just right,
and the lighting is too.
Feeling the hint of spring sky blues,
finishing sun soaking, then taking to cool water, she did choose.
Skin is just a mirror of the body that you were planted in,
there is nothing to be ashamed of.
There’s a quote in the gym that says that,
“Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes,”
and boy is that the truth.
How many times have you been framed in the best of ways, unbeknownst to you, I wonder?

Elsa’s Bloopers During Her Ice Castle Building
Elsa’s first attempt to build her ice castle resulted in her hair looking a bit wind blown, like the picture above. A couple retakes later, after several dozen bottles of hairspray, her hair stayed down a bit better! Boy, was she sick and tired of those gloves. She was just ready to FEEL! She let it go. She shot the breeze a little to freely on set though because it smelled so badly that several people passed out from the pent up smell. She LET IT ALL GO! What a lot of ripping sounds she made! It’s hard to believe her dress survived it all. It’s a good thing she could sing so loud because her singing muffled some of “the other sounds” that would have put her brothers to shame if she had had brothers at all!

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?

Woah! This is beautiful and deep! ✨😊 The quote in the gym is a gem: Beauty comes in all forms, and every person is beautiful with their unique features!
Lovely poem! And such a creative meaning behind the "frame" Great work!
Oh, this is such a lovely way to flip the meaning of "framed"! Now I’m wondering if I’ve been framed in a masterpiece without knowing—hope I wasn’t blinking!
I don't know but it is 20 degree here in Delaware today, and I sure am cheering on the skies of Spring. I know that is not the point of the article, but I sure am cold. For the other meaning I am 74 so I am fading fast physically. Basically at my age you just try to stay alive.
I like to think that, as I fade physically, that my interior maybe becomes more visible
