everything that lives grows and everything that grows dies by Rebecca Nicole Montana on Flickr.

Think any of you vintage-clothes folks might be able to help me get a guess as to about when this was taken, judging by his clothes and maybe even the style of moustache?  I’d much appreciate it!

“Great, Great Grandpa Beauvais” my grandmother had me write on the back of this old photo.

It is, indeed, Oscar Ernest Beauvais, son of Antoine and Emelise Mercier Beauvais of Morganza, Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana - he preferred to be called Ernest.  He was born on my birthday, November 6, in the year 1860.

My friend took this photo of me for his photography class back in 2000.  I am holding the Death card from my favorite Tarot deck, The New Palladini Tarot.

I always said I’d marry the person that gave me black roses.

My Mom…

My Dad took this of my Mom in the late 1970s.  She calls it the picture where she “looks pissed off at the world”.  Believe it or not, my mother thinks (has always thought) she was ugly.

There is nothing sadder than a beautiful woman who never learns to see her own beauty and worth.
