Dear Blogger, give me back my posts.

La Gran Guerra~1964

This is not even funny. I thought Google is running the Planet, but Blogger was down for a whole day. And my last two posts are gone into nothingness.

How can this be?

What if we wake up one day and there is no Google, no Blogger, no Facebook, no internet? Then what?

Then this.

He didn't have internet either.

Anti Style

Rene Magritte

This is not a personal style blog, so, even you do find pictures of me here and there ( yes, I overdid myself yesterday), I cannot take pictures of myself every day.
Today I am going to write about Twitter.
Did you ever think "I could have invented Twitter?" Because it is such a basic concept... well, I did and it was funny to see this picture on Tim Ferriss' blog ( no, he is not a fashionista) about the beginning of Twitter.
What I learnt from it. That an idea can take you so far, but you need to have the means, will and determination to translate that idea into the real life. Otherwise, it will only be an idea, together with hundreds of other ideas that never get made.

It's 5pm.

Cocktail hour.

Nevermind the cloud cocktail.

I'll take this instead.

The Importance of Playing

Rene Magritte

Personal Values

This past week I read a book called “ Molecules of Emotion”, by Candance B. Pert. It’s a great book that I totally recommend, about the search for the biochemical links between consciousness, mind and body.

I am going to quote a short paragraph:

“One last word about stress: Play! Having fun is the cheapest, easiest and most effective way I know to instantly reduce stress and rejuvenate mind, body and spirit. The source of most people’s ongoing, daily stress, I believe, is the perception is isolation and alienation, being cut off from the company of others. Engaging in play is the antidote because it gets our emotions flowing, and our emotions are what connect us, give us a sense of unity, a feeling that we are part of something greater than our small and separate egos.”

My one time a week adult play time is at the Groundlings on Melrose Avenue, where I take Impro classes. Not necessary in order to become the next Saturday Night Live comedian.

Where are you playing?

These dresses are really similar.

Even their bouquets are pretty much the same. And they are both commoners that married a Prince.

Grace Kelly and Kate Middleton.

Sarah Burton from Alexander McQueen did a great job. The dress is spectacular... Alexander McQueen is happy somewhere up there.

Congratulations!

Sitting in the shade. Unknown tree.

With sunscreen on. SPF 60, always.

Today's funny fact: self-tanning lotion first, sunscreen after.
