The day started out at 0 degrees Celsius which is 32 Fahrenheit, Funny that there is such a different nomination, explanation for the same thing and each find in their mind their system the easiest to understand or even the best. So with all other things that occupy our minds, religion, justice, habits, traditions, customs and even Fashion. We are born in a certain place and educated in a certain way which makes us what we are today ( that rhymes) and as far as I am concerned its all respectable as long as no harm is done. An other funny thing is how little we know. I say “we” because it happens to a lot of us, we just don’t think about it, don’t question things as somehow we think we know but you can notice at times when children ask questions, simple things like how does the spider make his web? How does he start and gets from one end to the other? Or how does pepper grow? And some deep questions like where do we go when we are dead? Then again we believe and accept a lot of things without questioning, many believe in Fairy Tales, so to speak, while others search their own brain and mind which in my opinion is the most interesting thing to do in this life. Being conscious of the moment because there only really is NOW, there was a past and future will be, but now = now! And the only thing we can be certain of right now.
.This is what the sky looked like this morning, thought it was beautiful
Finally finished the coat I showed you I was working on and this is what it looks like inside out which for me is outside in…
Salvador made the pictures in front of what they call here “the shop” but is a working space full of tools and stuff, some really old. Right in front where we live. I did make up for the occasion (usually I only wear red lips) but still had to do a lot of photo shopping. The wind in the hair was a stroke of luck and we actually took only a few shots compared to what a fashion photographer would shoot!
…And the other way around. The original hand knitted coat from Finland which Kecia gave me. Made pockets, love pockets, and the lining of course so it is reversible. I like to make reversible things and almost all the things I made are wearable inside out, will show one day my collection. Everything else I am wearing in the pictures I made, even the boots and belt, both found on Ebay, except the gloves, they were a present from Alejandro.
Then there is the fur! I love fur but I know that some of you are very sensitive about that and don’t wear fur because of the animal cruelty involved. I am certainly against animal cruelty as well but I do eat meat and I do wear leather shoes and bags and girls you can be sure that your favourite Louboutins or Manolo’s, are made of the finest leathers and those come from the youngest animals. In any case I like to tell you that I got this fur in Amsterdam in a vintage store. It was a stole I would never wear but the fur was so soft and perfect and beautiful and really the best thing I feel I can do for this poor animals is to show how much I appreciate the beauty and warmth it gives or do you think it is better it rots away anonymously?
Talking about animals… this little bird flew against our glass door and fell dead on the floor… we buried it.
You know I think when you click on the picture it becomes big, isn’t that fantastic?
Ha ha, today I discovered the way to change the Font colours.…
Bravo! my favorite thus far…well actually they are all favorites but I am with my mouth on the floor about the coat! I want it! but no no it is perfect for you there in Oregon. Also yes indeed the best is to be in the NOW and it is so true that kids ask all these questions that are so basic but yet again we have no concrete answer for them. Poor bird but what a great picture and I know of all windows this one gave it a good ending and you made the passage righteous. Keep it coming!
Ma, I loved it, what a joy to read! Inside out like your beautiful coat (and great pictures in front of the “shop”, you know how I love those rustic textures, and you look absolutely great!), and inside out like your beautiful thoughts about the big and little things of life. So inspiring.
Willy, I love how this post is just so YOU!!! You look stunning in your photos and your attitude towards the bird is unique and inspiring….xxx
Love you, love your blog, love your pictures!
Keep up the great work
thnx bro
I just discovered your web site on yahoo and see that you’ve got some fantastic thoughts in this post. I specifically appreciate the way you’ve been able to stick so very much thought into a relatively short submit (comparitively) which creates it an thoughtful post on your subject. IMHO you put a lot of good information in this submit not having all the filler that most bloggers use just to make their posts appear longer, that is ideal for a gal like me who doesn’t have a lot time cause I’m usually within the go. I often get so frustrated with so many of the final results in the major SE’s due to the fact they frequently seem to mostly be filled with filler content that frequently isn’t quite sensible. If you don’t mind I’m going to add this post and your weblog to my delicious favorites so I can share it with my family. I appear forward to coming back to read your future posts too.
Just desired to say that you’ve some awesome content on your blog. If it’s OK I wants to use some of the information you supplied on my web site. If I link back again to your website would it be OK to do so?
