Hearing the name Coco Chanel, every woman can unfailingly name at least two of her timeless creations - the little black dress (created in the mid-1920s) and the perfume ("Chanel No. 5"). But this time I want to talk not so much about her biography or achievements in fashion, but about the philosophy of Coco Chanel, which is, of course, reflected in her work.
This woman is always attractive - not so much because of her outward beauty as because of the sense of life's fullness that is inherent in her. She has inexhaustible energy, which she is able to put to use in different areas of life. She is proud of her attractive body, cares for it and strives to keep it in good shape. Her temperament does not diminish even into old age; often she becomes a true virtuoso.
Phantasmagoria in several episodes. We are all travellers, regardless of what destination is printed on the ticket. How do we choose where to go and how to find the right travelling companion? Sometimes all that's left is to watch the train pull away. Perhaps it wasn't my train after all?
Horror films - a genre that thoroughly tickles the nerve endings. At times you want to close your eyes or crawl under the blanket, but then a moment later your gaze is nailed to the television screen again. A paradox - you're scared, but you want to keep watching. So where lies the "salt" of horror films? Why do we enjoy watching them?
Charisma is an immense force whose impact can continue even after a person's death. That is also one way to assess several advertising companies' decision to use Hitler's image in their advertisements. Naturally, these advertisements did not go unnoticed and even raised a wave of indignation and protest in certain sections of society. Demands were made to ban, replace or airbrush them. Here are some of them - judge for yourselves!
Phantasmagoria in several episodes. We like to play games. The mask of politeness, positivity, and wisdom is sometimes the most precious thing one can have. Even while verbally agreeing to openness, we remain behind our masks. Who else will unmask me, if not myself? Will the club members risk playing the game without masks?
Sevillanas is the first of the flamenco dance styles I have started to learn at the Spanish dance club Duende. Of course, one must start from the most basic movements - learning posture, arm movements, counting the rhythm, and then the steps. Classes take place in small groups, which is beneficial in that dance teacher Ilvija can give individual attention to each person, correct mistakes, and monitor the execution. The hour allocated to each class passes unnoticed. What follows is a little about sevillanas itself.
Phantasmagoria in several episodes. Four strangers - 3 ladies and 1 gentleman - meet to get acquainted and get to know one another, to see themselves through another person's eyes, to turn the traces left by events into history and live on. In the room that holds a table with six chairs, only five seats are currently taken. Will a sixth join them? The facilitator is friendly but businesslike. Autumn days grow dark quickly. There is quiet here, but beyond the club's walls another life entirely seems to hum. We are all part of it.
Living with full responsibility - that is perhaps the hardest of all tasks in this life. It is much easier to seek new paths to wisdom or try to change the world rather than to look inside oneself and try to change oneself. It is much easier to become an activist fighting corruption than to fight one's own egocentric impulses. This book is not light evening reading, as every page is saturated with existentialist questions and the endlessly promised revelations that only Kabbalah - and no other source - can provide.
