Dorothy Parker - the end

[silken-shadow.livejournal.com]

This will be the last post of "Parker-isms" for a while. I've had a lot of fun doing them and will be happy to do requests but I need a change of scenery, so to speak. Please comment. Enjoy.



I'm not really happy with "glasses" and will probably try again in a day or two. Any suggestions?

[EDIT: I took down the "Hollywood - plagiarism" icon because of a misspelling. It will be reposted later today 10/26/05

The "glasses" icon will also be reposted later today and should be much more legible. I've received several suggestions and will give all of them a try! Thanks everyone for your help.]

hm. I'd change the text color on "glasses" or add a contrasting stroke or both...

[silken-shadow.livejournal.com]

Yep, I tried tried the contrasting stroke but to make it legible I had to enlarge the font point and ran out of room and the color is just sucky. I think I might try changing the color of the base and go from there. sigh...

Took the first one, thanks :)

[silken-shadow.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

Good news: I'm loving your Dorothy Parker icons.

Bad news: "Plagiarism" is spelled wrong in your Hollywood icon.

A request, if you get the time: A Winnie-the-Pooh icon with Parker's infamous one-line book review: Tonstant weader fwow up.

[silken-shadow.livejournal.com]

OUCH! Thanks. That's what I get for trying to talk to my husband at the same time I'm typing ;)

I'll take it down and repair.

And you're right, need to do the Winnie the Pooh and will.

If you were so inclined, I wouldn't mind the first one with the actual text of the quote, which should read: "I hate almost all millionaires, but I think I'd be darling at it."

I must have taken half of these or more. Thank you so much!

[silken-shadow.livejournal.com]

Sure, no problem at all. I'll play with it tomorrow (Wednesday)

Glad you like them.

[mforbes321.livejournal.com]

Oh I love them all! I'm taking dollars. Thank you!

[silken-shadow.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I've been told the quote is incorrect so I'll be posting another version tomorrow.

[mforbes321.livejournal.com]

Got it. Cool.

I just noticed your icon and started giggling. You see, I just went into my boss and said the exact same words after completing a project in 3 days they told me would probably take at least a week and maybe two.

[silken-shadow.livejournal.com]

I'll give your suggestion a try. I was so tired when I worked on them last night, just didn't have the patience to play, you know? Thank you.

[silken-shadow.livejournal.com]

Thanks. They are probably the cheapest therapy I've ever tried. You can say so much in just a 100x100 pixels. Great way to vent.

Thanks for all the Dot Parker icons...I took the Millionaire one, because I am sure I'd be a darling at it, too.

[silken-shadow.livejournal.com]

I think we'd all be "darlin'" at it as the folk down here in NC would say.

Turns out there will probably be a few more in the next day or two. Then I'm off to something maybe romantic.

I live about 3 block off Falls of the Neuse in the Quail Corners area. AND major hugs, accolades, respects to you for saying "Falls OF THE Neuse" and not just "Falls of Neuse" like everyone seems to be doing these days. Makes me grit my teeth, which makes my dentist very unhappy.

Oooh- I like the millionaire one and I'm snagging. Will credit.

[silken-shadow.livejournal.com]

I'd love to give it a try, wouldn't you? Thanks for letting me know and enjoy!

[elanortheeldest.livejournal.com]

love the millionaire one.
