Since moving to Myrtle Beach I have been painting rocks and hiding them for others to find. The Facebook page and idea was created by a clever young woman named Amber Forrester. The only thing I can take credit for is painting, hiding and hunting rocks. On yes and re-hiding!
Recently Channel 13 did an interview and two of my rocks were featured, Elvis and Einstein.
Here are a few I painted.

HM Queen Alexandra
Princess Alexandra was a beauty that would not let a a disfigurement get the best of her. She was said to have an awful scar on her neck.
She worn lovely high collar dresses for daywear, but low-cut evening wear presented a problem. She took to wearing layers of pearls and diamonds around her neck. Soon it became the trend in fashion of her day. The style of jewelry style was called collier de chein meaning collar necklace.
In London 1854. George Campbell and John Challis lured men into a fancy ball dressed to the nines as women. They were arrested on the intent to commit an unnatural offence. One of the men was claimed to be a preacher and on mission of research, the other claimed poor health. The charges were dropped.
During the age of petticoats and layers of crinolines, this was not the only case of such drag balls. High society men and even royalty were known to dress up as woman and woman dressed as men for a night of fun and mischief.
