Sweet Home Alabama

Today I am going to Alabama, the first actual overnight trip of my spring break. I'm quite excited, because we are going to my great-aunt -uncle's cabin. It has no Internet, so I'm writing this in the car on my iPhone... I'm so cool, right? :) Anyways, I've got my Captain (from Captain and Tennille of course!) glasses, outfit inspired by Jane Asher, and a playlist of Beatles, Stones, Dylan, and the Doors, so I think today's gonna be pretty good!
Some random good photos for a random good day:

The outfit that inspired mine today

I seriously have glasses just like his! Haha

I wish I was going down the road in this van! I'd feel like a Merry Prankster. ;)

My favorite Beatles album, Revolver

Another favorite, the Rolling Stones' Aftermath

Of course, The Doors

Well, I hope whoever reads this is having, had, or will have an amazing spring break, possibly resembling the beach scenes from Help!

Paul appears to be wearing some Jackie O glasses... Haha

My Sweet Lady Jane

Jane Asher was born on April 5, 1946. She made her film debut in Mandy, 1951. She continued to be in shows and movies for many years. In 1963, Jane wrote an article and posed as a screaming fan of the Beatles for a magazine. Around this time, she met the Beatles and got to know them. She starting dating Paul McCartney. Barry Miles wrote of her: "Jane had a wonderful ability to put people at ease. She had an air of seriousness and self-assurance rare in someone so young, combined with the energy of a teenager. She was outgoing, but her enthusiastic conversation was informed by a fine education and years of experience as an actress, making her far more sophisticated than the average seventeen-year-old. She was also extremely pretty." They dated and got engaged in 1967, but Jane came home one day to find Paul in bed with Francie Schwartz and called the engagement off. In 1971, she met Gerald Scarfe, her husband to this day. They married in 1981 and have three kids-- Katie, Alex, and Rory. Jane has a cake shop, has written books, and supports many charities today.
Today is Jane's birthday! I love the Beatle girls, and Jane is no exception. I can't believe she hasn't told about Paul... If she ever decides to write a memoir, I'll be the first in line to buy it. :)

Most of these photos are from the '60s, because 1.) It's my blog, and right now I'm loving her hair color and bangs and 2.) She was an icon, as a model and actress during that time. :)
