Easter at Knott’s Berry Farm

, 6 Comments on Easter at Knott’s Berry Farm

For Easter, Patrick and I went to Knott’s Berry Farm to continue the fun of Boysenberry Festival, which comes to a close this upcoming weekend. I used the holiday and festival as an excuse to go a little over the top with my outfit. The whole outfit was inspired by the boysenberry pie purse I bought from Miss Doolittle, one of the vendors at the Boysenberry Festival. And if you’re in love, don’t fret, she has an Etsy shop!

The day was spent with quite a few friends indulging in the massive variety of boysenberry treats Knott’s has to offer during Boysenberry Festival, from boysenberry hummus to boysenberry short ribs to boysenberry boba tea. I really don’t think I can emphasize enough how amazing Boysenberry Festival is, and I highly encourage a visit if you’re a foodie and live in the area, or if you don’t, coordinate a visit to SoCal during this time next spring!

In the meantime, It’s APRIL! Which means it’s my birthday month! Even though it’s a bit of a milestone, the big 3-0, I’ll be taking it a bit easy, as April is already pretty busy with a group birthday (I have seven other friends with birthdays in April) planned for next weekend, a visit to Riley’s Farm for my favorite play a bit later, and then my actual birthday falls on Dapper Day weekend! And in the midst of all of this, I am happy to announce Patrick and I are working on a revamp for the blog! Which I am over the moon about! It will highlight the new direction I have been going with Atomic Redhead, and I am just ecstatic about it!

I hope you all had a lovely Easter if you celebrated!

  2. Happy birthday! I hope you have a wonderful birthday!

    As a 43 year old woman. I remember my 30s fondly. I was not where I wanted to be in my life and I was scared, I did a lot of self refection and it 100% paid off. And even though I wanted to be married already and have a couple of kids. I had to realize that the world was not going to end with me not being married and not a mom.

    So after looking long and hard at my life once I hit my30s I took matters into my own hands and decided to enjoy my freedom. I use to be a sad lady who was always wanting to travel and go to events but I was to scared to take the plunge. That all changed once the band New Kids on the Block reunited. That was my liberation day and the first time I became an adult. I got my first ever credit card and flew on a plane by my self to a city I knew no one in, and that was ten years ago. I still have the travel bug and loving every minute.

    In 2006 when I turned 31, I decided to finally pursue my passion for dressing vintage 24/7. I signed up for myspace and learned there were tons of like mined people just like me. And I also discovered the website The Fedora Lounge (dot) com an online community of real people from all over the world sharing their love of vintage life style.

    Today, I am still not married nor do I have any kids. I am very happy with my single life and the freedom to continue to pursue my vintage life style, be a cosplayer, and a confident, poised woman, who likes to geek out on old movies, music, and superhero’s.

    And I recently learned in the 1930s there was a single woman movement.
    Here is the link to the thread on the Fedora Lounge explaining about the 1930s single women’s culture, http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/single-women.92374/#post-2373751
    I managed to get myself a copy of the book mentioned in the thread Live Alone And Like it and could 100% relate to this book, it was like it was written just for me, Marjorie Hillis did not marry until she was 49 years old. I myself still want to get married but I also know that I will be 100% ok if I never get the chance to.

    And I also learned that some of histories very famous ladies chose to remain single, Coco Chanel, Corrie Tan Boom, Greta Garbo, Harper Lee, and Jane Austen. So I am in good company as well.
