Raspberry Vaudeville

Published on October 18, 2013October 18, 2013 by Glorialana11 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for this pleasure to live. Today is Friday and we all deserve a good portion of pleasure. I invite you to my club where Raspberry Vaudeville is on the stage.

Raspberry is a pretty girl

Who loves young boy Pistachio.

But old Baron de Chocolade

Has different view on her destiny.

Baron de Chocolade wants

Ha-ha, to marry!

Rapsberry is his fiancé –

He is sure Pistachio will cry.

Baron will cry because

Pistachio was first who came to

Father of his beloved and said (in recitative)

Pistachio: I want to ask for the hand of your daughter in marriage.
Raspberry’s father: You’re an idiot!
Pistachio: I know it. But I didn’t suppose you’d object to another one in the family.

The braveness of young heart

Proves his endless love to Raspberry…

The end. The happy end.

Thank you for sharing with me today’s pleasure to live, create and smile. Your company is wonderful, the cake is fantastic and Raspberry Vaudeville on the stage inspires to be brave and young. Have a happy weekend!

Minerva’s Kiss

Published on October 15, 2013October 15, 2013 by Glorialana10 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for today’s Inspiration to be happy. Goddess of Wisdom told me a story I am in hurry to share with you.

Young King is sad. The great responsibility is on his shoulders. How to protect my people and make them happy?

Daughter of Jupiter, Minerva, the goddess of wisdom follows the King when he is walking in his garden near the palace. The book is in his hands.

There is only a small strip

With a scattered boundary

Between suffering and happiness.

Life is so changeable

Like the weather.

And a habitual melancholy

Tiptoes silently…

Minerva says: so it be,

Your happiness will return

When I kiss your dry lips…

And the silver trumpets will sing again!

by Shvedchikov A.

Walking in Royal Palace Garden in Brussels I shot these photos. The book is my French finding.

Minerva follows us and kisses by her infinitive wisdom to live joyfully here and now. Thank you for your kiss.

Via Est Vita

Published on October 7, 2013October 7, 2013 by Glorialana16 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for the roads we choose and are chosen. Via Est Vita – Road is life.

We have just come back from our very big and wonderful journey. And I know really it is true the road is life. For 25 days we have covered 7214 km! We have been in 6 countries (Poland, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Luxembourg) and lived in 7 places.

“The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say…”

J.R.R. Tolkien reflects my thoughts in a very accurate way by this poem. Beautiful words are warming my soul gently.

La Terre (The Earth) is rich, beautiful and generous. We all are gifted by her. You know my mind is dancing colourful cancan now but in this versicoloured mess I have found the main motive: we all are blessed by this possibility to live and see this beauty of life.

Roads are La Terre’s veins where blood of life circulates in.

The photos were taken in Versailles garden. We were there I will tell about this gorgeous place later. Travelling clarifies the beauty of life. I know now how I am blessed by this possibility to live, see and feel the beauty with my family.

In my today’s dream I was flying in the sky for the first time in my adult life, I am happy and smiling writing these words. Thank you for sharing the road which is my life.

Bird Flies

Published on September 6, 2013September 6, 2013 by Glorialana5 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for this possibility to make each other better. My daughter asked me about a birds in a cages we have seen in the zoo: “Why are these birds in the cages? In my fairy tales birds live in a magic forest.” I explained that the zoo is a kind of hospital for a sick birds. Its will live in a forest when a doctor allows. 5 y.o. is a good age for this story, daughter is satisfied by my answer.

“God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented cages.” Jacques Deval sarcastically said. The words mirror human approach to nature, but in our will to help each other to become better, kinder and in the end make a little creature free. I mean “little creature” in the wide sense. We all have something or somebody to free.

I love poems by Alexander Pushkin. The special one for today is “The Little Bird”.

Here in a foreign land
I perform an ancient rite:
I free a bird from my hand
in Spring’s cascading light.

The act consoles my heart,
how can I grudge God’s will;
if I can grant, to some small part
of Creation, freedom, still?

Thank you for your help to make me better. Happy Friday!

A++ Excellent!

Hello God!

Thank you for Knowledge Day I celebrate every year.

The 1st of September is the Day when a new school year begins in Russia and former USSR countries. A teacher is unmistakably recognised by a lot of bouquets at the Day. I used to be a teacher of the piano and every first day of fall had meant a happy meetings with my new and continued students.

Today the Day means a new program of self education for me. By the very happy circumstances a new educational year begins from the Awards. My dear friend Brenda from friendlyfairytales.com has nominated me for the Excellence Award! The rules of nomination said to share something personal: I love the excellence awards! The previous award was the granted scholarship for postgraduate course in Political Science at the University of Manchester! Yes, I have the postgraduate diploma in Political Science. My dissertation was about “The Clash of Civilization” by S. Huntington.

This year curriculum includes course in French and compulsory the piano lessons to restore my pianistic technique to play Chopin’s Etude №12 “Revolutionary”. I will play this masterpiece for you!

The next nomination from my wonderful Brenda is Miracle Blogger Award. “You are Miracle” said Brenda to me. Thank you, my dear friend.

As all Soviet children I went to school at the 1st of September in my first grade class. At the 2nd of September my father died. I was 6 y.o. You know I remember that day was not a tragic or painful. My child’s heart was just angry and misunderstanding: it was my second day in school, my younger sister was 18 month old, and our father died. What’s a ridiculous idea! But life is life, and life goes on. I understood and accepted it later. Perhaps my father’s death was the greatest Miracle and gift for me and my sister. Thank you, father.

The next nomination is from Belsbror. By accepting the Most Creative Blogger Award I need to provide my perspective on my creativity and my source of inspiration.

The source of my Inspiration is in every moment I am breathing. Inspiration means breathing. My creativity deals with my daughter’s games and joys, my husband’s intelligence and sense of humor. We are blessed by Happiness and my great pleasure is in sharing it with You!!!

Monday Serenade

Published on August 26, 2013August 26, 2013 by Glorialana9 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for Monday. “Monday is a great for becoming too busy to die” Roy Station said. It is truth we understand that a new working week begins and Friday is as far as Venus. So we are really too busy.

We are busy for each other. Because of you I live and enjoy my life. I love to think that because of me you do the same – you love and enjoy your life. I would like to make your working week happier, my today’s Inspiration said that I am able to do it. Music and fashion will help me.

Agatha Ruiz de la Prada has created a musical dresses. I am listening a velvet sounds of cello which inspired the designer.

The Piano dress is fantastic. The symphony of artist’s imagination has the Power to visualize the harmony we can see and touch.

Together the cello and the piano create a divine duet to tell us something very important. Something about Life can not possible without. The thing is Love.

The Duet plays Serenade by Franz Schubert.

My songs beckon softly
through the night to you;
below in the quiet grove,
Come to me, beloved!

The rustle of slender leaf tips whispers
in the moonlight;
Do not fear the evil spying
of the betrayer, my dear.

Do you hear the nightingales call?
Ah, they beckon to you,
With the sweet sound of their singing
they beckon to you for me.

They understand the heart’s longing,
know the pain of love,
They calm each tender heart
with their silver tones.

Let them also stir within your breast,
beloved, hear me!
Trembling I wait for you,
Come, please me!

So enjoy!

Thank you for sharing my Monday’s Inspiration. I hope my sincere intention to make your week lighter and happier than the previous week was will work.

Have a happy week!

Chanel Lightens

Published on August 20, 2013August 20, 2013 by Glorialana11 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for the 19th of August! Coco Chanel was born at that Day. Today she is 130 y.o. I has written “She is” because she lives in her wisdom and creativity. We enjoy her Inspiration therefore she lives. You know it is perpetual hope about immortality of the leading our ways Spirit.

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” Great Coco knows exactly what she says about.

Her secret, I think, is in French easiness of perception and accepting everything life suggests. Lets follow by her lightness she is radiating around!

Coco inspires to smile. Jocelyne Grivaud has created Barbie Chanel.

Alexsandro Palombo makes us laugh on mother Simpson-Chanel.

Ricardo Fumanal illustrates Chanel’s inner world.

Oh, meet my favorite personage from my childhood. It is Shapoklyak. I think she looks like on Coco.

Shapoklyak’s Song is below. I am sure you will enjoy the song and the look of main personage. It is my present to great Coco Chanel. Happy Birthday, Gabriele!

Thank you for sharing this light moment with me. I enjoy your smiles.

Yves Saint Laurent Paper Dolls

Published on August 7, 2013August 7, 2013 by Glorialana7 Comments

Today is a happy day. I have found a treasure in WordPress Planet. The treasure is dutchbarbieworld.wordpress.com I love it! Thank you, Rogeir, for your great job.

I would like to add the paper doll of Yves Saint Laurent by Tom Tierney

and the quote:

Thank you for sharing with me this moment of wonderment, happiness and love.

Dutch Fashion Doll World

Since Yesterday the Foundation Pierre Bergé – Yves Saint Laurent opened the French designer’s archives to the public online.

The Fondation Pierre Bergé– Yves Saint Laurent was created in 2002 and have his headquarters at 5, avenue Marceau in Paris. This is also the place where the duo started their couture house in 1974. This foundation has 5000 garment, 15000 accessories and tens of thousands other designs that they have carefully conserved. But because a lot of these pieces are so fragile they can’t put permanently on display. And now thanks to a digital initiative from the French Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication, people all over the world will have access to fashion history.

The first online exposition is about paper dolls. At the age of 16 Yves Saint Laurent created an amazing collection of paper dolls. He used pictures from models and combined them with his sketches.

Dior Doll Lesson

Published on August 5, 2013August 5, 2013 by Glorialana12 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for my daughter. We are girls and our favorite game is to wear a paper dolls.

The best way to learn a child is a game. The game with Dior paper dolls is for cultivating classic style and elegant attitude to clothing. I am a little afraid to see my daughter in goth style with face piercing when she will be a teenager. So my pink Dior glasses give me a hope.

Beautiful girls Renne and Lisa are from Paris. They will teach us how to became a true Dior Lady.

Jacket with a pleated skirt is a classical suit with french charm.

Emphasizing waist is compulsory element of your dresses.

Wool jacket with the bowl and drapery dress are the most chic for winter.

Hats are the objects of attention in every look. Your eyes should sparkle.

Evening gown is epitome of elegance and femininity. A glass of champagne can be a good accessorie.

Mink coat is great for visiting Opera.

Floral silk dress is a classic hook for the first picnic with special yesterday’s acquaintance.

What’s the wonderful mix of colors! Orange with pink sounds harmonious. Three piece ensemble in grey is great for work.

“A-line” suit is for brave and stylish girls. Add veil and lilac bouquet and you admire an attention from all around men.

Color wool suit and coat make happy rainy fall days.

“Great Gatsby” style is on the verge of fashion today.

In conclusion of the lesson the advice from Thomas Hillgrove is relevant: “Ladies should also remember that gentlemen look more to the effect of a dress in setting off the figure and countenance of a lady than to its cost. Very few gentlemen have any idea the value of ladies’ dresses. This is a subject for female criticism. Beauty of person and elegance of manners in women will always command more admiration from the opposite sex than beauty, elegance or costliness of clothing.” The Scholars’ Companion and Ball Room Vade Mecum,
1857

Thank you for your attention. I am happy to see you elegant and charming!

Dior Child

Published on August 1, 2013August 1, 2013 by Glorialana7 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for the 1st of August. Today is the Birthday of ingenious fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent.

In the early 1950s, a young Yves Saint Laurent arrived in Paris, armed with an array of fashion sketches. Within a year, the 18-year-old student of haute couture was snapped up by Christian Dior and hired as his studio assistant.

When in 1957, Christian Dior passed away unexpectedly, Saint Laurent became Dior’s head designer. His first independent collection, the «Trapèze» collection, presented in January 1958, was an immense success. The shy young man in glasses and a clean-cut looking suit was only 22.

After Yves Saint Laurent’s “Trapese” collection was shown the press declared that “Saint Laurent has saved French fashion” and “the great Dior tradition will continue.”

It included one of Saint Laurent’s first and most famous innovations – the trapeze dress.

Saint Laurent’s “Trapeze” was permeated by a mischievous spirit of youth. His dresses were known for their sharp lines and unusual proportions and length.

“Will this young man be able to uphold Dior’s traditions of high couture?” the press wondered before the showing.

But all doubts vanished. Dior child with his own long and beautiful way was born under the bright Star!

Happy Birthday dear Yves Saint Laurent! Thank you for Your Gift dedicated to Woman: “It pains me physically to see a woman victimized, rendered pathetic, by fashion… What is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.”

I am happy to celebrate Yves Saint Laurent’s Birthday with you. Thank you for your happiness to live.
