Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed.
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
“There is no beautifier of complexion, or form, or behaviour, like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

My family and I went to Ross yesterday to buy some clothes. It was pretty cool to hang out with my family a bit. Afterwards we went to the food court to eat and we saw something going on outside the food court. So I grab my camera and took random shots at this kids. It was so cool seeing them so happy and dancing around with fake snow which is made out of bubbles or something else, but that blasted thing was going on my camera. BTW, we have no snow on Guam...sadness rigth!...so we islanders enjoy fake snow..lol
Well it was worth it because just seeing this kids brings joy to my heart. Being a kid you have no worries about life except when you get trouble by your parents and you get a major spanking...ouchies!
Have a good day you guys....school is keeping me busy well not really
January faceups. This is my beautiful new boy, but no names yet. His complexion is taken after my own face.
Made in a workshop a couple of years ago at Texas Tech University in Lubbock. The instructors were two specialists from Dallas, I think, but I can't remember their names or even find them on line. Sorry.
Thanks to everyone who tagged me to play. I had to choose this Poppy for my favorite doll purchase. I love everything about her, she has a beautiful complexion and her fifites hairstyle is magnificent. I am planning on keeping her dressed in the style of the era, late fifites/early sixties. She is wearing a skirt I made from some vintage fabric. My favorite look from that era is the waisted dresses and big skirts. j
If you are viewing this photo and are inclined to play, please do! The doll you choose just had to be acquired in the year 2018. Come and play!
Ringo is almost a mute and she is willing to talk to only Ribbon, her twin sister. ^^;
I wanted to try something different today.
This is closer to the original concept I planned for Ringo's character. Water blue eyes, apple red lips and a very pale complexion. *^^*

Like this family caught at a food festival, I can spend an awful lot of time weighing choices - especially when money is involved. It's all about making sure not to have any regrets.
How is it for you? Can you make up your mind within seconds?
In Koh Samui there resides a rather large gold plated Buddha statue appropriately called The Big Buddha. The statue is a 12-metre-high (39-foot) structure though not in the frame here.
At the beginning of the steps that lead to the statue there are 2 smaller Buddha statues in a sitting pose and the balustrade of the stairway drawn into phantasmagorical dragons and such.
I never did climb up the steps to shoot the Buddha. Maybe sometime later, hopefully.

El sendero del Dolor
La representación del Calvario inició ayer a las 17:00 horas con unas palabras del Diácono Anuar Canavati González
Texto Por Abraham Vázquez, de www.elnorte.com
Monterrey, México (6 abril 2007).-
Allá va, cuesta arriba por las calles de la Colonia Independencia. Los músculos tensos y el rostro fruncido bajo el peso de una cruz de madera que casi le dobla el peso.
Miguel Lozano Beltrán, joven de 21 años y de complexión delgada -pesa 60 kilos- vive quizá la tarde más determinante de su vida al interpretar a Cristo en la tradicional representación del Viacrucis, de la Basílica de Guadalupe.
Quien durante años fuera el pulcro monaguillo del templo, lleva ahora las ropas roídas y la piel zanjada por los azotes, que con un látigo de cuero le propinan sin clemencia los soldados romanos.
Es Viernes Santo y este Calvario, que inició a las 17:00 horas con unas palabras del Diácono Anuar Canavati González, unos minutos después tiene a Lozano Beltrán en el trayecto de un camino de dolor que ha marcado a la humanidad desde hace más de 2 mil años.
Y aunque todos conocen el trágico desenlace de esta historia, Cristo renueva la esperanza de la comunidad y se echa al bolsillo a madres de familia, obreros, sacerdotes, diáconos, ex Cristos que vivieron la misma experiencia años atrás y hasta chavos banda.
Sus verdugos, en contraste, unos hombres corpulentos y fornidos, a los que a nadie les gustaría encontrarse en un callejón oscuro, son quienes recogen la peor parte.
"Parecen sicarios. Dan miedo, pero como quiera me dan ganas de darles unas buenas cachetadas", expresa María Álvarez Torres, vecina de la Independencia.
"¡Déjalo!", "¡Ya párenle!", "¡No seas bañado güey!", les gritan otros.
Cerca de 5 mil personas, de acuerdo con cifras de los organizadores, se aprietan al paso del Calvario de casi 2 kilómetros por las calles Libertad, Jalisco, Lago de Pátzcuaro y Privada Ojeda, que recorre Lozano Beltrán en el Barrio San Luisito y que culminará en el predio de Tanques de Guadalupe.
"Tam... tam tam... Tam... tam tam... Tam"
El batir de un tambor fúnebre abre el paso de Cristo entre la multitud. Está sobre la calle Jalisco, una cuesta que tendrá que subir antes de encontrar su destino final.
A la retaguardia lo sigue una veintena de personas ataviadas con túnicas de colores: el morado, naranja y amarillo sobresalen. Ahí están Poncio Pilatos, Barrabás y el César, el pueblo de Israel, en su mayoría niños, y una decena de centuriones.
Los hombres lucen caras acongojadas. Las mujeres parecen avanzar con el Jesús en la boca.
Entre ellas se encuentra Verónica, interpretada por Guadalupe Candela Ramos, quien inmersa en su papel, solloza hasta perder el habla cuando se topa a Jesús, antes de la segunda caída.
Con paciencia le seca el sudor a Cristo, quien reposa sobre el asfalto.
"Estos minutos sirven para tomar aire", comenta Ernesto Castillo Jiménez, quien hace un par de años interpretó a Cristo.
Aunque ve a Lozano Beltrán con un físico más delgado, confía en que puede salir adelante.
Momentos después, como Lázaro, aquel personaje bíblico, luego de pasar su segunda caída, Cristo se levanta y sigue adelante. Como hizo después de su primera caída, ocurrida atrás, y como hará en su tercer derrumbe.
Para muchos lo fácil es pensar que este sufrimiento se hubiera evitado, si en la antigua Roma, un procurador llamado Poncio Pilatos hubiera absuelto a un hombre, de 33 años, acusado de incitar a la sublevación y de no pagar impuestos al César.
Para quienes están aquí, quizá la frase "la Pasión de Cristo" tiene que ver más con una idea de redención de los males de la humanidad.
Un cielo cerrado y oscuro que amenaza con caerse a pedazos entrega a la presentación del Viacrucis del Barrio San Luisito un aire más melancólico que el de años anteriores, en los cuales el Sol hostigaba a las sombras.
El Viacrucis ha recorrido ya más de la mitad de su paso, se enfila hacia la cruz. Sobre Lago de Pátzcuaro y la Privada Ojeda, quien se ve más maltrecho es uno de los ladrones que avanzan tras de Cristo.
"Pero ¿quién se acuerda de nosotros?", parece preguntarse entre sus gestos de dolor Félix Amaya, quien casi desde el inicio anda descalzo y con un ojo cerrado, debido a un latigazo que le hinchó el párpado izquierdo.
"Todo va muy bien, esperamos que no llueva (los golpes dolerían más con el agua)", expresa Diego Quiroz Navarro, quien interpretó a Cristo en el 2003, y que ahora ve cómo golpean a los protagonistas de esta Pasión.
Luego de pasar por la angosta privada, el destino es un cerrito donde está enclavado el predio Tanques de Guadalupe.
Caídas fuera del guión, lágrimas y un silencio sepulcral llenan el ambiente de sitio. Cristo y los ladrones, Dimas y Gestas, libran una última batalla contra su resistencia física por llegar a su destino final: la cruz.
Tras ser montados en ella, ante la mirada atónica de los presentes, minutos después de las 19:00 horas se cierra esta historia: "Todo se ha cumplido", expresó un abatido Cristo.

Hay golpes en la vida tan fuertes... y más allá de los que se notan en su espalda, uno de éstos fue el que se llevó la vida de Lozano Beltrán una vez que terminó la Vía Dolorosa.
Luce fatigado y maltrecho, con la espalda roja, pero la experiencia lo ha dejado tan sacudido que desea iniciar una vida nueva.
"Quiero encontrar a Dios", expresa el joven.
"Mi idea era dar un mensaje a la gente y creo que sí lo logré. Me siento muy diferente".
Lozano Beltrán, quien estudia preparatoria, indica que quiere cambiar y asegura que ya piensa en el sacerdocio.
"Desde que terminé mi secundaria, hace 5 años, había pensado en el sacerdocio. Esto fue un paso para acercarme al Señor mucho más de lo que yo pensaba", comenta.
"Le doy gracias a Dios por permitirme llegar a donde Él quería", dice Lozano Beltrán antes de fundirse en un abrazo con su hermana Aracely.
Claudia's Francie re-rooted in Megan Blond in two piggy tails. This was another one I was really pleased with the outcome of. She has a really great complexion so she was easy to work on!
Beauty from Trees
“Cleopatra found beauty in oils from trees – olive and palm oils. Soap to her was unknown.
“Twenty centuries of research have failed to find the equal of these beauty oils blended in soap. The very same oils – no other fats whatsoever are the ingredients of Palmolive Soap. They and nothing else give Palmolive its natural green color.
“Nothing is hidden for there is nothing to hide. Men don’t paint nature to improve it. Remember – your complexion is at stake when you are tempted to try a substitute for Palmolive.
“Palmolive Soap is untouched by human hands until you break the wrapper – it is never sold unwrapped.”
--------------------------------------------------------------
The exotic Egyptian themed illustration (and the multi-year ad campaign that preceded and followed it) helped establish this now extremely well-known consumer brand. Palmolive associated its brand name with exotic palm and olive oil ingredients that were used as beauty products by Egyptian women thousands of years ago. It was a clever way to associate its product with usage over thousands of years. The modern American woman using this soap and shampoo would benefit from an exotic beauty treatment that was also used by ancient Egyptian beauties.
Temples in Taiwan are like folk arts museums. They collect detailed stone sculptures and elaborate wood decorations. Lukang Mazu Temple (鹿港媽祖廟) is one of the best in Lukang. Beautiful stone carving from Qing Dynasty can be seen in the back hall. The woodcarvings are particularly fine in the front hall, and the high plafond is simply gorgeous. The Matsu statue in this temple is now called the Black-Faced Matsu, as centuries of incense smoke have discoloured her original complexion.
Mazu is the indigenous goddess of the sea who is said to protect fishermen and sailors, and is invoked as the patron deity of all Southern Chinese and East Asian persons. Most of Lukang residents’ living was replied on trading and fishing on the sea. Therefore, Mazu Temple became the most important place for locals.
Born on June 2, 1933 in Strasbourg.
Last lived at 21, rue Rode, Bordeaux.
Interned in the Lalande camp near Tours and then transferred to Drancy.
From there, she, her mother Frieda, and her sister Paulette, age 7, were deported on Sept. 11, 1942 on Convoy 31.
Their destination: Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Aside from these stark facts, all we know of Anny is what is on her I.D. card: that she was Jewish, had blonde hair, blue eyes, rosy complexion, and was of moderate height. And that she had very cute little-girl handwriting.
I'd give anything to know more about this sad-eyed angel, and the thousands upon thousands of children who died alongside her.
This photo is from "French Children of the Holocaust: A Memorial" by Serge Klarsfeld. It's a huge doorstop of a book containing whatever photos and information that remain of the 11,000 French-Jewish children who were murdered by Nazis like Klaus Barbie (who Klarsfeld helped put on trial). The number of beautiful, innocent faces in this book is overwhelming. The book cost me $85 but I didn't care - I needed to remember those faces.
the dry heat was really bad for his terrycloth complexion.
his asia, australia, and europe travels are chronicled in my book, available at blurb
TF6 has a vibrant hair colour and sporty complexion. Most people think she's similar to Hello Harvest but I like her more than HH even she's a Superior Blythe. She's one of my very first Blythe and I couldn't possibly sell her or custom her! (Look at her shiny forhead XD)
Garza real
Ardea cinerea
Familia: Ardeidos – Ardeidae
Aspecto: Garza grande, de complexión robusta, predominantemente de color gris, con un pico recto, fuerte, en forma de daga. Las garzas pueden diferenciarse de las grullas durante el vuelo, y a menudo también cuando están de pie, por la forma en que encorvan su cuello.
Tamaño: Largo 84-102 cm, envergadura alar 155-175 cm, peso 930-1.150 g.
Nido: Una gran pila desarreglada de ramas, generalmente construido muy alto en un abeto o pino. Las aves pueden usar el mismo nido durante muchos años.
Reproducción: Pone 6 huevos en mayo, incubados de forma alternada por los padres, en 4 a 6 períodos, durante 25 a 28 días. Las aves jóvenes aprenden a volar aproximadamente a los 50 días. Muchas garzas reales anidan en colonias.
Distribución: Ave migratoria de verano que se reproduce poco en Finlandia (solo hay alrededor de 100 parejas). En los últimos años, los avistamientos de invierno se han vuelto más comunes.
Migración: Pasa el invierno en el oeste y sur de Europa. La migración de otoño puede tener lugar entre mediados de agosto y principios de noviembre, y las aves regresan de marzo a mayo.
Alimentación: Acecha inmóvil a lo largo de costas, lista para emboscar, en espera de que peces y animales acuáticos pequeños estén a su alcance.
Sonidos: Un chillido fuerte, molesto, similar al llamado de la pagaza piquirroja.
La garza real tiene partes superiores de color gris claro, y partes inferiores de color blanco grisáceo. Su cabeza es mayormente blanca, excepto por una raya negra que se extiende desde encima de sus ojos hasta la parte posterior de su cuello, donde algunas de sus plumas se alargan para formar una cresta. Los adultos con plumaje de apareamiento pueden tener un color rosáceo a los lados del cuello, y algunas filas de rayas oscuras en el cuello y el pecho. La garza real tiene el pico de color amarillo o naranja amarillento, patas de color marrón opaco e iris amarillo.
Las aves inmaduras generalmente se parecen a las adultas, pero su capuchón y su cuello son más grises (y el cuello no tiene color rosáceo). Su pico es más pardusco y el iris es blanco.
Usually I find the less traveled streets of a city offer the most interesting people. In a Berlin I encountered a week after the wall celebrations, swept by stark grey weather, things and people seemed most intriguing in the bigger groups around the better known stretches.
Hanna and her friend Gina had come to town from native Hannover for a concert the night before, and an evening on, still buzzing with energy from the performance, were braving the cold to say farewell to Berlin at the Brandenburg Gate.
Hanna had an amazing, glowingly pristine complexion and simple, stylish look. Having scouted a harsh lighting environment moments before, I immediately rushed over in the hope she could tame the light.
That light comes from a Canon 600EX-RT in a mini-soft box about 2m camera right (ETTL) and a reflector 1m camera left. The reflector is held by Gina over the top of a huge floodlight, set into the stone pavement to illuminate the gate's pillars. That's then blocked from the pillar and bounced across extremely professional by Gina onto Hanna. Meanwhile, Hanna has a smaller silver reflector which is bouncing back in a little flash, but is chiefly there as a flag to prevent the floodlight catching her directly from below in a kind of "monster/Halloween light" scenario.
All great fun! Thank you Hanna and Gina for agreeing to take part - especially Hanna for enduring the reflected glare of the light, and heaps of interested double takes from passersby.
Thanks to Al Fed for his much appreciated advice on shooting in Berlin. He's one of the people that inspired me to undertake this project; a super chap, with an awesome portfolio worth checking out!

Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And Summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And oft' is his gold complexion dimm'd;

Camera flashes and I have always had an uneasy relationship. My pasty complexion and somewhat “Rubenesque” jaw line- suffice it to say a little closer to pitch black may be some viewers preference
Talk about giving away our heritages with our complexions! A bonnie Irish lass is Katie and my Greek coloring makes quite a contrast!
Sitting in front of the Four Seasons in Vancouver. Her text books indicated she was studying fashion...her simple, yet unique outfit seems to confirms this. I was struck by her serene expression and naturally beautiful complexion.
Something I'm working on for my living room. Mainly to practice and explore a new style, oh yeah, and to have some fun too! .. . . . . . . .

Natalie has the palest complexion of my big girls and her face is matte setting off her subtle makeup beautifully. My mini me is one of the first dolls I got and goes beyond the pale (as do I). The head first went with a very pale obitsu body, which is why I call her Obi, sometimes, but then I stole it to go with my Joan Watson head. She's now using a MTM Barbie body. I've tried colourising her face but it's too small for me to work with. Her eyes are stuck in with putty and it's hard to keep them looking straight. At the moment she lives in the pussy hat which has a bit of grey hair permanently stuck inside. She has a wig but it doesn't quite work. You may recognise her from my flickr profile picture. Pretty accurate as I don't wear makeup, my hair is falling out and my eyes are kind of wonky too. :)

It's not the end of the world if we have one or two wrinkles.
The cosmetic industry provides us with plenty of products to eliminate those fine lines of ageing so that we can get smooth and soft skin.
