Mini-me Oscar

Meryl Streep. She can convincingly play anything and become anyone.

Jennifer Aniston-Still one of the cutest and most popular TV actress of her era.

Ashton Kutcher-The hottest thing in Hollywood. I bet (with that face) he could make his (girls) classmates laugh a lot at school.

Julia Roberts.2000 Best Actress winner for Erin Brockovich

Little Tom Cruise's missing tooth!! Even then, how he could be so darn cute!!

George Clooney- Looking not so hot there. Probably never dreamed of being the biggest lady's men in Hollywood.

Angelina Jolie savoring a toast. She fills so many different roles in life. Mother of 6 kids, actress, humanitarian, director, producer.

Chubby Brad- Beyond famous, he is one of the biggest movie star of the century

Lindsay Lohan-No comments!!

Brancusi

There is an ongoing exhibition at the High Museum and for the first time artists like Picasso, Matisse, Piet Mondrian, Brancusi, Joan Miró, De Chirico, Pollock ,Warhol, Alexander Calder and many others have been displayed in the southeast.
There were five sculptures from Brancusi; Bird in Space, New Born, Endless Column and Young Bird. In my view, Brancusi was the highlight of the display simply because his life was something that always intrigued me since I learned about him when I visited Paris.
Brancusi was born in Romania but he lived almost all his life in Paris. He lived a very simple, low-key lifestyle. He cooked his own food, dressed like a peasant and when he died he bequeathed his studio to the government of France demanding that they would renovate the studio and leave every masterpiece in the same place as the day he died.
I hope Brancusi harvested the fruit of recognition and distinction while he was alive but certainly he had never dreamed his work would be worth so much.
For instance, Yves Saint Laurent and his partner, Pierre Bergé, in the 70’s, bought Madame L.R (believed to be one of Brancusi's earliest work) for about €500.000 and it was sold for the second highest price marketed by Christie’s and Pierre Bergé and Associates auctioneers for €37 million in the 2009 Christie's auction in Paris.

Inspiration for Christmas

accent pillows wrapped in festive ribbons

Interesting!!!

a wreath with a touch of fresh flowers

the inspirational Charlie Brown tree.

Christmas is around the corner and I think most of people start to feel de pressure. This year I don’t have plans on what I am going to do yet. I am leaning towards a quite Christmas. Regardless, I do not know if you are like me, I always change or add a garland, a wreath, or even a trim to the tree so the space LOOKS like it gets a CHRISTMAS makeover every year!
That being said, I am doing something different from the previous years. A small tree will be set up at the end of the stairs, facing the front door. I got "tired" of putting up the tree in the very same spot year after year, so time for a change!
To get some inspiration, I started to look at websites and magazines and in one of these searches, I found these pictures (the little Charlie Brown tree is the source of my inspiration for my project!) and hummm…he accent pillows wrapped in ribbons are not a bad idea either.

Crochet wonderland

I haven't been able to write too much lately. After I came back from Mexico my life has been in a hectic schedule and last week I just went under the knife. Nothing major but I'll be out of commission for 2 weeks.
That said and done, I am having a lot of time to browse the net and I bumped into the spring/summer 2011 Vanessa Montoro collection to die for. All her dresses are head to toe handmade, she does not produce in large scale and the pigments she dyes her pieces with are extracted from nature and are in essence: herbs,seeds,tree leaves and tree trunks, tea and coffee dyeing.
Her craftsmanship is stellar and her eye for details and sophistication is undeniable!!




I want this one for New Year party!!!
