Did your handsome daddy ever know about your tattoo, young lady?

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Well, I got them about a year ago, so I figured it was none of his beeswax--but when he found out he was mightily disgusted, ha!
It was a very heart-warming moment.*G*

Whee!!
Cat says - and i agree - you look like the Oracle from the Matrix! You know, the lady making all the cookies?
:)

I can't remember - was your dad an airman? For some reason that looks like an airman's uniform to me.

So cool. I love seeing pictures like that.

Yeah it's me when I was 12!

It's one rare picture of myself that I love! :-)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Yep! It's my rose! Thanks!
And i think it's a camera Pop's holding.

Haa! really? Cool-- i'm oif the opinion, I'm Mrs. santa, but I like that better, she was neat.

My pop was Army, he's wearing a day uniform, dressier than fatigues but not a formal dress uniform.

Can you believe that picture is 60 years old????? Well, yeah, you can but me--I'm boggled!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Awwww! So cute!*pinches cheek*

[tabaqui]

Ahhhh... I'm not as familiar with the older uniforms. I love the short jacket - so cool.

Amazing to think, isn't it? Sixty years...Wow...

Roxy! *huggles* Hee, so nice to put a face to the beautiful soul. *huggles more* *grins* You have Mikey's initials tattooed on your person? *giggles* Go you! And your father is very handsome, hon. *nods* Yup.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

OH! Now I get it!
Nawwwwm girl! Mr. Roxy's initials, and it'sd not MR, hah! Hey, much as I wish it, I'm not fucking Mikey, so no initials for him! *SNORT*

Re: Cause I'm a boobhead!!!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

DUH! I get ya now- no baby, MR.ROXY! Not MR--it's EJ, hah! But if Mikey shows up in my bed, I'll tattoo his initials on my whole ass, gurl! *GRIN*

Re: Cause I'm a boobhead!!!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

oh well, that's different! *dreamy smile*

[matryoshkarose.livejournal.com]

Ohh, your whole family is just adorable! Cute you, and the beautiful girls, and your dad who looks so young in his uniform. I love family pictures, thanks for sharing!

[justabi.livejournal.com]

You're Pop was a right attractive man. No wonder you turned out so well.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Thanks for sharing with me! :)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*blush* Stop!!!

Yay! I finally get to see what my Roxy looks like! What a cutie! Dad's a cutie, too.

Pics of African-American WWII guys make me a little sad, though. They risked everything for American freedom, and then came back home, got precious little thanks, and still had to fight for the most basic rights. (Actually, that's true for every war we've been in.) I'm taking a class on MLK and the civil rights movement, so it's really on my mind.

*snickers* from the way you smile one would never have guessed that you wrote Firebird. I bet you can take candy from a baby and still look innocent ^_~.

Ohh your dad was handsome in his uniform. I hope you don't mind me saying this, but seeing this photo, makes WWII that much more real than just looking at photos in history books.

*puuuurrrrrr...she said 'My Roxy'*

That's so true. If the military had it's way, I'd have never been born. My dad had to fight for a year to get married to my mother. (she was Austrian.) And when they came back to the States, the problems were just beginning.

Looking around I see some progress has been made, but not as much as we'd like to think.Good on you taking the class. The civil rights movement is the most fascinating period of time in this country, I think.

Oh. *blushes hard* My mistake. *crawls under rock*
