end of summer...

Lovely Anna Paquin by Pamela Hanson. Lovely summer photos. Summer nears its end...

I am always glad to see Anna Paquin. I guess it has smt to do with my childhood and my childhood memories. I remember one day, many years ago, my mother decided to take me and a few of my friends to see a film on a lazy Sunday afternoon. We were all so excited. Film "The Piano" (by Jane Campion, Anna Paquin won an Oscar for a Best Actress in a Supporting Role) was released and showing that year. I was very young at the time, but not a child, approaching teenage years. Anyhow, my mother saw the trailer for the film and decided not to take us see it since, in her opinion, it was tooooo sensual, sexy, brutal, in one word, not a very appropriate film for young ladies.

So, she came up with the alternative - "True Romance" (Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette) which was showing as well. She didn't see the trailer for this one, so assumed it must be smt nice and girly as it had two very nice words in the title True and Romance...well she was wrong, so wrong....This movie was so brutal, sexy, aggressive (btw loved it) and I guess a much bolder choice than the arty "Piano"...my mother was sooo surprised, shocked even...Anyhow, we all enjoyed the film and had a lovely time but, after this film I was allowed to see "The Piano" and all the other films...PG for films addio...well childhood memories...and yes, that is why I am glad to see Anna...enjoy the end of summer!

black and white bathrooms

I am so in love with black and white bathrooms. They seem so elegant and simple but at the same time so opulent and extravagant. How great are the black and white tiles or those magnificent stripes or the luxurious Fornasetti wallpaper - definitely something worth considering, I know I am!

Toto, I don't think We're in Kansas anymore

Whenever I see something sparkly and red I can't help but think of the wonderful Wizard of Oz movie and the magic of the lovely RED shoes. Just a few clicks with the heels and you are somewhere else... So, this powerful colour really reminds me of that magic. Here are some photos I stumbled upon (although not of shoes) which immediately made me think of that lovely movie.

a bit of skin - backless dresses

A bit of tastefully revealed skin is always sexy and feminine. I love backless dresses and think a girl should have at least one backless dress in her wardrobe. Here are some wonderful examples of both evening and casual backless dresses I've stumbled upon and really liked, enjoy.
