Miro Vogue cover

Yes, this is a French Vogue cover, and yes, the artist is Joan Miro.

I wonder when Vogue will decide to let Lara Stone keep her clothes on and will actually do a cover like this again.

You can look at a painting for a whole week and then never think about it again. You can also look at a painting for a second and think about it for the rest of your life.” ~~ Joan Miro

TED talk of the day

I was thinking what to write on my blog. I like writing about fashion and posting pictures of pretty dresses and jewelry, but I am a grown up and I can't do that every day.

So, I was looking through my hundreds of bookmarks so I thought I will share some of them with my readers. My readers mostly get to this blog because they type "Miro" into Google. Well, maybe I should have made a blog about Joan Miro, or at least posted more pictures of his work. I might, so that the hundreds of Miro fans that land here won't be totally disappointed.

Until then, one of my favorite videos from TED, about how this 14 year old kid from Malawi built a windmill from spare parts, in order to generate electricity for his home. If he could do that, what stops you to ( )? You can fill up the blanks at your leisure.

The Garden

Welcome to my blog, you people out there that land on my blog because you type Miro into Google.

I am actually rewriting this post in 2012, just to say hello to you.

Google somehow decided to have this image on the first row of Google images.

As you can tell, this brings me a lot of new readers that are interested in Miro.

And I guess they are disappointed to see that this blog is not about Miro or painting in general.

But, it's a cool personal/ fashion/ art/ inspiration blog so I invite you to not stop at this Miro page and keep looking.

Thank you for your visit.
