Photos of Roxette Bunny

By Silver Blue

Yes, I have a blue bunny that has been part of my life for YEARS. She hopped in a decade ago, and has been part of my life ever since.

Roxette has a magic sleigh, and a variety of wardrobes to choose from — (sometimes she’s (gasp) adorned only in her blue fur, but… She’s always modest. 🙂 ) She used to have her own vehicle (first with RX BUNNY plates, then with the above plates).

Around Halloween she hangs out with a friend, “Pun No Kin”:

Roxette has, as a bunny, an affinity for carrots. Of course, she sometimes gets confused and thinks “CARATS”.

In fact, here, she’s surrounded by over 14 CARATS. 🙂

She has a large blue gem that she can use to look in on those she cares about:

She used to blog…and in fact, was interviewed! http://jenlars.mu.nu/archives/010548.html

Here is her adoptive family. From left: Rabbi T, Roxette, and Prob Lee Bunny.

Finally, the two shots that were taken of us, Christmas 2011:

 

and

Silver Blue, who may be the only person who has a bunny whose name is the same as the band that gave me my nickname!

The seasons may change (and they do)

By Silver Blue

However, someone needs to let Mother Nature know these things. Why?

Well, currently in my front yard:

The burgundy iceburg rose is in bloom…

Plus, not only is the climbing peace rose in bud…

It’s also in bloom.  Then there’s….

Pinky. Due to the sunlight hitting the leaves in this way, it makes them look yellow instead of the red going to green that this rosebush does.

Labour Day is long past. Doesn’t Mother Nature understand that Halloween is around the corner? Soon, that too will be gone…

….like a butterfly. (I didn’t spend the 4.97 on it at Walmart, but believe me, I *WAS* tempted!)

Silver Blue, who thinks that everything is coming up roses…and he’s right!

I’m not myself…

…though knowing me, I know I am.

What am I referring to? When combing through my photo archive this evening for a suitable picture to use, I came across one of me, and my hairstylist, Beth, in which there’s something that made me do a double take. “I’m not myself…”

Well, the watch is mine. The shirt, I used to own (it was silk, and after 4 or 5 years, it started to develop holes, etc. and had to be disposed of). The “Believe” necklace is there, so … it IS me (in fact, I can tell I’m also wearing my Eagle pendant necklace as well (you can barely see it to the left of the flash unit)). The corner of the picture frame makes it look like I am wearing an earring, which I haven’t since 2007. Oh wait. It’s that I’m not all spiky! I had this hairstyle (parted on one side, due to numerous cowlicks) for too many years to count. The spikes are easier to tend to, and allow me to towel and go.

Silver Blue, who wonders how many people actually take the time to stop and look in the mirror…and see their real self.

My evolution through time

By Silver Blue

In 1988, I created an abstract piece of art on my bedroom wall in my parents’ house. It exists to this day:

The wall was painted Federal Slate (a light blue), and it would still be another year before I took the moniker “Silver Blue”. The width between each triangle, and the diagonal stripe is 2″ — the width of the largest masking tape I had in the house. The top blue line is 2″ wide, the bottom red line is 1″ wide, and the red triangles are 1″ wide as well.

In 2001, I digitized the wall painting, and altered it for a (then) web company called “Polo Blue Web Productions Ltd.”

This served me well, but I disbanded the company in 2007, for numerous reasons. While I still own poloblue.net, it’s closed and probably will not be resurrected. I needed a way to be reborn. Enter the Phoenix. That’s how I see myself, most of the time. In a constant state of rebirth. Old parts of me are destroyed while new parts spring forth of the ashes of my past. Ergo, my new logo (designed by Elise Heath) is:

Take that with the changes in me (from left) in 1988, 2001, and 2011.

Silver Blue, who hopes that as time goes on, I never lose the will and desire to continue evolving into newer and more exciting (to me) versions of myself.
