It's not a style...

... or is it?

One is wearing panda, and one is wearing poodle, or so. The panda I understand, I have a few problems to get the poodle, though. Is it meant as a tease? All the words say 'No', the clothes say, I am desperate to be different even if it looks crap, and the body language says 'yes please!' Or am I just old? Yeah, probably that's it!

What I however find truly amazing is that this blog is utterly successful. My favourite jeans brand is over the moon to be named in it, whereas the owner of the blog is having a list of articles in reputable magazines like Harper Bazar and so on...

And did you see the ambiance the pictures are taken in? Oh there it is again... envy in all shades from yellow to green. And the pictures of shoes... See, I cannot use any of that kind, I wasn't even sure if I can publish the photo of the Vogue cover, even if I took it myself. Copyright is such a confusing matter. Hence I rather use the much less puzzling method of linking to places where nice photos can be found, although this may lead to something rather baffling, indeed.

And on this note I am leaving you with 'something for the ladies'

Working Rhythm

Good morning Dears,

Wishing you a warmer home than this!

It is a Saturday morning and am thinking, that after several weeks of continuous posting and setting-up blogs I should get into a working rhythm, meaning that my daily updates will have to be restricted to working days.

See, once in a while I need to DO a few things in order to write about it, and what better time to do that than the weekend. I still find that the day job tends to get into the way of things, then there is the training, which is a more boring part for most of you, so that doesn't really count - or better: it counts separately, and then there is the writing part of my day which I really enjoy. 

This only leaves the weekend to get some other projects rolling, like shooting some of my infamous videos, the sewing course which will start mid January, and of course the book writing and illustrating wants to be done. So I hopefully will make good use of those two days per week, and will only bother you with my random thoughts from Monday to Friday.

On this note I am wishing you a wonderful weekend, and see you on Monday
Love

Slapstick & Chicken Soup

31 Days

Are you aware that in 31 days we have 2011? Remember when the whole world was fussed about the millennium bug? It is a decade on now. 10 years have passed since then. A lot has happened, but nothing really significant, I find. Changes lie in a personal perspective, though. Ten years ago I hardly knew how to switch on my computer, and these days I am running 12 blogs. Of course I get the feeling that an 'information revolution' has taken place. Yes, there has been quite a development, I would never have known about the Orangutans in Borneo and Sumatra, and I may never have found the drive to actually wanting to travel there.Yes, the Internet changed things quite a bit, but how far does it actually reach? There are still parts of the world where people don't have the means to participate and there are still people in our part of the world who either don't have the money or are lacking the education to participate either. Maybe it is a good time to remember that everybody who can read this is privileged in a way.

People who engage in environmental issues may find that this is where the biggest changes took place. Global warming is only disputed by very few and commonly acknowledged, more and more issues are addressed and solutions pushed into households, but on government level not a lot is happening, and there surely is no international consensus. Whether we like it or not, more and more responsibility will be put on individuals shoulders in a world that becomes more and more complex. The next decade will be an interesting one, I guess.

The next 31 days will be interesting as well, because the media will provide us with the views of politicians, comedians and other folks. Interesting times, for us and for the mouse who doesn't know yet that her relocation, relocation programme is on!

Wishing you a cosy day

Love
