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.
While searching for various materials on flamenco dance steps and performance technique, I came across information about a rather unusual fashion show. It turns out that earlier this year in Spain, the young designers' fashion festival SIMOF 2009 was held for the 14th time, where everything is devoted to the flamenco theme. Festival participants take part in the show with costumes rooted in the traditions of flamenco dancers' dress and enriched with innovative elements. Here is a small glimpse into the costume collections created by the festival participants.
Each of us has our own cherished little things we would never want to part with - things we always look upon with warmth or happily pick up, use, and take pride in. It must be said that these things are usually not the most practical or the most necessary in everyday life. Moreover, they are usually well-worn, handled, and crumpled, and so a little scuffed - despite the owner's very best care for them. I invite you not to hide your light under a bushel - send in your stories of five cherished possessions!
No, these are not the sand sculptures that have now become popular throughout the Baltics - this is something more flowing, more fleeting, and in constant motion. With just a few handfuls of sand seemingly scattered at random on glass and with unusually nimble finger movements, an entire painting is conjured. It tells its story, as the contours change ceaselessly and transform into a new form. Words are unnecessary here - simply watch and enjoy the video!
Whenever I receive a certificate after completing a training course, I liken myself to that squirrel from the Ice Age animated film, who stretched and stored acorns in her hollow for a rainy day and worked so hard for each one. :) This time my acorn comes from the language centre "Diversus" - certificate of English competence: presentation skills and meetings in English.
The new fashion must-have of this year's spring/summer wardrobe - jewellery for lingerie. It has gained popularity throughout Europe. If a woman's choice was previously limited to fine fabrics, lace, frills, and bows, diamonds-encrusted brooches, pendants with red rubies, and rings with green emeralds on satin garter straps or pretty lace knickers are now being used.
A woman behind the wheel is no rarity today. Yet the principles by which women and men choose their cars differ and always will. Some car manufacturers have even conducted surveys to identify the priorities in a car's appearance and features among respondents of both genders and have defined these differences.
Many of us make promises to ourselves to start something new on the 1st - and specifically at the start of the new year. But perhaps there's something to change about your appearance - a new haircut, a new colour? Well, if that last idea has crossed your mind, I've found a few online tools where you can try out and adapt various hairstyles, makeup looks, and accessories to your face shape. In short - be your own stylist!
