"I'll admit it." I say, looking directly at you, the reader, hoping that this strange awareness of your presence startles you. "It was thrilling. Killing that part of me. She was weak. And I am strong."

I stand in silence, as a soft breeze lifts stray strands of hair along my ghostly complexion, allowing you a moment to think about what I just said, and to realise that this story is more than just a story, it's a live and happening murder, and you're now a part of it. "There's a problem, though." I say to you, biting my bottom lip, smile forming under its tight caress. "I want more."

Prompt: Beautiful girl with flawless makeup and a perfect complexion, surrounded by blooming flowers, soft pastel colours, a bokeh effect, a light background, a close-up portrait, sunlight, bright eyes, high detail, and high-resolution photography.

Two of the twelve Yaksha temple guardians at Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok.

 

Wikipedia: Yakshas are an important element in Thai temple art and architecture. They are common as guardians of the gates in Buddhist temples throughout the country since at least the 14th century. Ceramic sculptures of guardian yakshas were produced in Thailand, during the Sukhothai and Ayutthaya periods, between the 14th and 16th centuries, at several kiln complexes in northern Thailand. They are mostly depicted with a characteristic face, having big round bulging eyes and protruding fangs, as well as a green complexion. Yakshas and their female counterparts are common in the Buddhist literature of Thailand, such as in The Twelve Sisters and Phra Aphai Mani. As ogres, giants, and ogresses, yakshas are present as well in Thai folklore.

Model Martin McArthur

 

I shot Martin on the streets of Glasgow on a flying visit up there. Even though I shoot lowkey, while, we were shooting, a woman in the small crowd watching us got all excited.

 

"Oh My God, it's Ray Liotta!" (This shoot was while Ray was still alive)

 

Even though she was told he was not him, she thought he must be "somebody" as I was shooting him and he was wearing a fancy suit and was doing gangster impressions - and she concluded it must be Ray in Glasgow to make a gangster film.

 

To be fair in real life, Martin does look a bit like Ray Liotta, with the same kind of complexion and the model said he does get that quite a lot from other people too. Anyway, when the model told her he was not Ray in his broad Glaswegian accent, she admired how good Ray's accent was for his new gangster movie and went away happy.

 

The moral of the story is, if you ever met Ray Liotta in Glasgow, it was probably this dude. Honest.

" The Mountains of Mourne "

" I believe than when writin` a wish you expressed,

As to how the fine ladies of London were dressed,

Well would you believe me when asked to a ball,

Faith they dont wear no tops to their dresses at all

Ive seen them myself and you would not in truth,

Know if they were bound for a ball or a bath,

Dont go startin them fashions now Mary mo chroí [ My Heart ]

In the place where the dark Mournes sweep down to the sea "

 

"Theres beautiful girls here but no never mind,

With beautiful shapes nature never designed,

Lovely complexions of roses and cream

But let me remark with regard to the same,

For if at these roses you venture to sip.

The colour would all come away on your lip,

So Ill wait for my wild rose whose waiting for me,

Where the mountains of Mourne,

Sweep down to the sea "

{ Percy French 1896 }

 

For me, personally this is the most perfect love song ever written. Its such a wonderful innocent and gentle thing and there isnt one amongst us, man or woman who would not want to have the kind of love expressed in this song. This place would affect us all that way. Im incurable anyway so If your looking for any sense, move on!!! lol!

Percy French wrote many songs in his lifetime. Mostly music hall stuff and very tongue in cheek and then suddenly he produced this masterpiece. It is thought that the idea came from a series of letters that someone gave him that were written by a young farmer to his girlfriend when he had to leave NI to find work in London after the harvest had failed.

He wrote the song while sitting on a seaside bench {now famous!} in Skerries, Co. Dublin and gazing across Dundrum Bay towards the Mournes in NI. [See attached album.]

Don Mc Cleans version is said to be the best version every recorded. Id agree as it really affected me the first time I heard it and it still can move me to tears. [Link in Album}

Thats about the best I can do really as sadly Im no Percy French! Lol! I do a good version of the song though. I was nearly somebody once!

Hope you like the photo!

2016 Texas Renaissance Festival in Todd Mission Texas

The only “Finch" I knew, before this little guy came along, was one Aaron Finch, the Aussie Cricketer!! I have never seen anything else on this earth so restless, never settling in any spot for more than a few seconds. Both of them keep flying up and down, right and left; bundles of energy and I know their diet did not include extra strong Horlicks or Maltova or Boost!! Capturing either of them became a hard assignment!

 

A few days back Mrs. Finch, snow-white complexioned cutie, laid 3 tiny little eggs. I am so excited!!

 

A resident in my potted yellow Chrysanthemum, she posed gracefully for me today, chosing a very colourful backdrop which suits her complexion ;) !

Here she is, my newest Blythe doll, Fruity Kaleidoscope, posing for her first picture! Her hair, as you can see, is quite fluffy and out of control! So far, I've only brushed it; I want to wait a while and see if it relaxes into something more manageable before I try to calm it down with a hair spa. I really like her pale complexion and the placement of blush under her eyes rather than on the cheeks. There’s even a bit of blush on the tip of her nose, which is so cute! Her outfit is fun, and I especially love this “leather” jacket. As for her name, neither “Fruity” nor “Kaleidoscope” works for me, so I will follow my usual course and give her an ordinary name that starts with the first letter of her stock name (to help me remember it!) Say hello to Fran!

 

This picture is for “First” and “Bright”.

I always thought when three mallards flew around at speed over Bushy Park pond that the two drakes were competing for the attentions of the single duck. How wrong can you get! At least as far as these three are concerned.

 

First they landed at speed in the waterway between the island and the shore where I was sitting on a bench. Then they clambered ashore on the island and disappeared from sight behind the trees. There was a lot of excited quacking and they were clearly having a great time.

 

Then after a while out they flew out of the bushes and ivy and plopped into the water (above) and swam contentedly away !

 

Although all three seemed contented to me this article I found on the web may put a ðifferent complexion on matters

This terracotta sun soaks all the hottest rays in the afternoon on the patio. Love his (her) crusty complexion. (A little better viewed large.)

 

EXPLORED....thank you friends!

 

I came to the latest Swank Tropical Island Summer Heat Event in the mood for beauty that speaks in close-up, the kind of beauty that lives in a glance, a fingertip, a softened lip, and the quiet bloom of art across the skin.

 

This is not a look built from one piece alone. It is a composition of details, each one chosen like a line in a love letter - delicate, romantic, and impossible to ignore.

 

The eyes begin the story with SlackGirl Beauty | Ambra EVOX Make-Up, a beautifully polished EVOX makeup set that gives the gaze a sweeping veil of color and definition. Ambra offers that fashion-editorial lift I love, with shaded lids, sculpted outer corners, and a softened shimmer that can move from tender romance to full dramatic presence depending on the tone selected. It frames the eyes with color, light, and intention, making the gaze feel deeper, brighter, and more deliberate. ✨ ️ 🌿

 

Then come the lips, finished in Frida | Theya Lipstick BOM. This lipstick set provides a full range of soft-to-rich lip tones, from delicate natural blushes to deeper rose and berry moods, all designed to sit beautifully on the face without overpowering it. Theya gives the mouth that smooth, polished fullness that reads perfectly in portrait work, with enough tint and shine to feel sensual, refined, and camera-ready. It is the kind of lip that can soften a look, warm a complexion, and quietly pull the entire beauty story together. 💋 🌸

 

At my fingertips, Frida | GOLDEN VEIL - Nail Stiletto sharpens the mood with long, elegant stiletto nails made for expressive posing. This nail set brings a sculpted silhouette, a glamorous pointed shape, and a polished finish that catches light beautifully against the skin. The length gives each gesture more drama, while the refined styling keeps it feminine and luxe rather than excessive. A hand lifted near the face becomes more than a pose. It becomes part of the composition, a little flash of attitude, elegance, and golden-veiled confidence. 💅 💜 ✨

 

And then there is the soul of the look, Venus Tattoos | Bramosia Floral Shoulder & Arm Tattoo. Bramosia provides a graceful floral tattoo design that flows over the shoulders and down the arms with vines, leaves, and painterly blossoms. It offers multiple tone options, including fresh, faded, aged, and old finishes, allowing the artwork to read as newly inked, softly worn, or beautifully vintage. With BOM mesh compatibility, mod/copy flexibility, unisex styling, and tint-any-color options, Bramosia becomes wonderfully adaptable, able to shift from bold botanical ornament to delicate heirloom skin art. 🌺 🌿 🎨

 

Together, these pieces create a beauty story that feels complete. Ambra gives the eyes their shimmer and command. Theya gives the lips their soft romance. GOLDEN VEIL gives the hands their elegant edge. Bramosia gives the body its garden, its memory, its quiet permanence.

 

This is summer beauty at Swank, not loud, not rushed, but layered with feeling. A glance. A gloss. A pointed nail. A flowered shoulder. The kind of styling that does not simply decorate the body, but teaches it how to tell a story.

 

Available at the latest Swank Summer Heat Event:

“Tattoo artwork is the garden we choose to carry on the skin, while beauty is the light that teaches every petal how to be seen.”

 

At long last, the rain has let up and the clouds parted to give a sunrise and a photo opportunity.

The tranquil scene is something to savour - before the rest of the world wakes up and puts a different complexion on it.

The wild life is also having a fine old time before the rest of the world wakes up.

This is adjacent to a football ground with practice pitches and the pond is a quite possibly the recipient of the occasional wayward football.

 

Three St. Marys (Magdalene, Mary Salome and Mary Jacob) who, according to the Gospels, were present at the Crucifixion, are said to have fled the Holy Land by sea shortly afterwards, eventually landing here with other disciples of Jesus.

 

The latter two Marys remained here, and their relics, along with fragments of their boat, have been safeguarded for centuries in the niche below the ceiling of this fortress-like church.

 

Their servant Sara, dark-complexioned and thought to be of Egyptian origin, has also become the subject of veneration - particularly for the large Gypsy population living in this part of southern France. The chapel in the crypt under the altar is dedicated to her, and an annual pilgrimage draws great numbers of Gypsy and other visitors.

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 dimm'd;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;

Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st 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.

**Prompt :**

 

Portrait cinématographique hyperréaliste d’une femme de profil, au visage sculptural et à la peau lumineuse, dans une forêt luxuriante baignée d’une lumière naturelle douce. Sa chevelure est remplacée par une composition organique spectaculaire de fruits et légumes frais : tomates brillantes, raisins juteux, épis de maïs dorés, brocoli dense, carottes encore terreuses, herbes aromatiques sauvages et feuillages abondants, le tout agencé avec une précision artistique évoquant une couronne vivante.

 

La lumière, de type golden hour filtrée à travers les feuillages, crée un jeu subtil d’ombres et de reflets sur sa peau satinée, accentuant les textures : la douceur de l’épiderme contraste avec le relief brut et humide des végétaux. Micro-détails extrêmes visibles : gouttelettes d’eau sur les légumes, fibres des tiges, pores de la peau, reflets spéculaires sur les surfaces lisses.

 

Profondeur de champ très faible , arrière-plan flou avec un bokeh organique vert profond, donnant une sensation immersive et onirique. Colorimétrie riche et naturelle, dominée par des verts profonds, rouges vibrants et jaunes chauds.

 

Ambiance silencieuse, presque sacrée, évoquant une fusion entre l’humain et la nature, une allégorie de fertilité, d’abondance et de symbiose écologique.

 

Style visuel proche de la photographie de mode éditoriale haut de gamme mêlée à une direction artistique inspirée de la peinture classique et du réalisme magique. Qualité 8K, ultra-détaillée, rendu HDR, textures photoréalistes, éclairage volumétrique subtil, contraste maîtrisé, grain cinématographique léger.

**Prompt:**

 

Hyperrealistic cinematic portrait of a woman in profile, with a sculptural face and luminous, flawless skin, standing in a lush, dense forest bathed in soft natural light. Her hair is transformed into an elaborate organic composition of fresh fruits and vegetables: glossy tomatoes, juicy grapes, golden ears of corn, dense broccoli, earthy carrots, wild herbs, and abundant foliage, intricately arranged like a living crown.

 

Golden hour lighting filters through the leaves, casting delicate shadows and highlights across her satin-like skin, enhancing texture contrast between smooth human features and the raw, dewy surfaces of the vegetation. Extreme micro-detail visible: water droplets clinging to produce, fibrous stems, skin pores, subtle specular highlights on polished surfaces.

 

Shallow depth of field , with a soft, creamy green bokeh background that creates an immersive, dreamlike atmosphere. Rich, natural color grading dominated by deep greens, vibrant reds, and warm yellows.

 

A quiet, almost sacred mood, symbolizing the fusion between humanity and nature, an allegory of fertility, abundance, and ecological harmony.

 

Visual style blending high-end editorial fashion photography with classical painting influence and magical realism. Ultra-detailed 8K resolution, HDR rendering, photorealistic textures, subtle volumetric lighting, balanced contrast, fine cinematic grain.

Eden is looking forward to some serious beautifying action today. Just look at that hair!! Gah!! And her complexion is still uneven. Unfortunately the SJ spa is booked at the moment, but at home efforts will be stepped up a notch or two today. =)

A new day and a trip off the boat on zodiacs. The choice had been made to go on the long trek, others would walk slower shorter routes but would miss the view from the roof of the world. My travelling partner had been having a few health issues so I walked with a German Linda, more about this lovely lady later, a mad German man who became a good friend, he just didn't stop smiling who said Germans are straight and two lovely mature Americans, in total about 20 of us attempted the route. The snow had been deep this season and had not really started to melt so it was not long and we were all up to our nads in deep, cold snow. Now, I walk every day so I am used to distance and living on the North Downs used to hills but add deep snow to the mix and this changes the complexion of things! But was all the effort worth it, god yes, just mind blowing and our first glacier, reindeer, seal, ptarmigan and so much more all on the morning of day 1. I have to admit being a bit of a nerd so my eyes were all over the place looking at rocks, plants, animals and landscapes, the sky the ground the sea, just had to soak up every morsel. More to come from this morning and the "Roof of the world trek" Svalbard

Today’s soundtrack: Soy loco por ti America – Caetano Veloso

 

Meninas, na outra foto esqueci de colocar o da MAC, então vou apagá-la, ok??? Sorry!

  

De forma geral, todos cumprem bem seu papel de deixar a pele lisinha, com linhas e poros menos visíveis, fixando por mais tempo a maquiagem. Fazem toda a diferença; deixam a gente com pele de fina/rica/chique....rs

 

1 e 2 - Photo Finish Light e Photo Finish Oil-Free, da Smashbox - O Light tem a textura de uma loção, é mais levinho que o Oil-Free, que é mais "siliconado". Ambos deixam a pele ótima, lisinha, suave e seguram bem a oleosidade. Recomendo!

 

3 - Magix, da Avon - Conhecido por todas. Se vc não pode comprar um primer mais caro invista neste, que é tão bom quanto os outros. Produtos da Avon compro quando entram na promoção....rs

 

4 e 5 - Instant Perfector e T-Zone Shine Control, ambos da linha Pore Minimizer da Clinique - Dois dos meus xodós, que podem ser usados antes da maquiagem e também sobre a make já feita, em retoques.

 

O Instant Perfector é como um corretivo pastosinho, de consistência meio seca, que deve ser usado apenas em pequena quantidade nos locais onde os poros são mais visíveis. O efeito é imediato.

 

O T-ZoneShine Control é um gel transparente que matifica a zona T, controlando a oleosidade. Assim que vc o passa a pele seca e os poros são amenizados. Maravilhoso!

 

6 - Complexion Primer Potion - Pore Perfecting, da Urban Decay - De consistência fluida e leve (uma loçãozinha branca), esse primer minimiza a aparência dos poros e matifica a pele. Deve ser usado sobre a pele limpa ou sob a base. Não é preciso tirar a tampa para usá-lo, é só puxá-la. Tem um dispositivo que impede a saída de muito produto, evitando o desperdicio. Muuuito bom, adoro!

 

7 - Fluido Matificante para o Rosto, da Contém 1G - Produto controverso, algumas amam, outras odeiam. Não sei se já saiu de linha. Gosto bastante dele, segura bem a oleosidade da minha pele. Acho honesto.

 

8 - Loção Facial Matificante, da Mary Kay - Uma loção bem fluida que tira o brilho da pele assim que aplicada. Pode ser usada também por cima da make. Muuuuito boa!

 

9 e 10 - Eyeshadow Primer Potion e Eyeshadow Primer Potion Eden, da Urban Decay - Primers para sombras. São fantásticos!!! Deixam a sombra intacta e as pálpebras sequinhas por hoooras a fio. Vc chega em casa e a sombra está lá, firme e forte como quando vc a fez.

O roxinho é transparente e o Eden bege, cor da pele, corrigindo pálpebras mais escuras como as minhas.

Detalhe: A embalagem é frágil, não resiste a um mero tombinho. Por isso tive que "transplantar" o Eden para esse potinho de vidro. Todo cuidado é pouco.

 

11 - Smoothing Primer, da Sephora - Ganhei de brinde em uma das comprinhas que fiz. A textura é semelhente à do Smashbox Oil Free e, levando como garantia o nome da grande loja de cosméticos, é ótimo. Gostei!!!

 

12 - Prep+Prime Face Protect FPS 50, da MAC - Sinceramente, não achei o óoooo que todas dizem. Vale pelo fator de proteção solar 50, mas não tem nada demais. Segura bem a oleosidade, como outros fazem. Não sei se comprarei de novo, provavelmente não.

   

Her skin is completely pellucid, possessing a translucent, porcelain quality that looks as though it has been refined by the clean, sharp air of the Atlantic coast.

 

Across this pale canvas sits a beautiful contradiction: a flawless complexion layered beneath a dense constellation of dark, prominent freckles that dust her forehead, temples, and cheekbones like scattered stardust.

 

Rather than masking the passage of time, the campaign celebrates her sharp, deeply etched lines as "designer wrinkles"—intentional, sculptural contours that mimic the fine, expressive folds of premium textiles. Every crease around her wide, luminous eyes and mouth acts as a deliberate design element, adding a profound, structural depth that no modern cosmetics could ever replicate.

 

It is a face that carries the weight of history and art, perfectly mirroring the raw, unrefined luxury of the hand-woven tweed resting on her shoulders.

 

It is the face that launched a thousand chips (Mc Cain's).

 

ChaCha Lanech, 2026

🌸

 

Some mornings begin quietly… the kind where the light slips gently through the tall pines and settles across my vanity mirror like a soft invitation. Those are the mornings when I slow down and let beauty unfold deliberately — layer by layer, ritual by ritual.

 

Cosmetics have always been the secret language of fashion. Long before couture houses ruled the runway, women defined their presence through the art of the face — the kohl-lined eyes of ancient Egypt, the porcelain complexions of the Victorian salons, and the bold crimson lips of Hollywood’s golden age. Makeup has always been more than decoration. It is expression.

 

💄 My ritual begins with Braham Fashion’s 067 “Make Up EvoX.”

 

The eyes are always the first canvas.

 

Soft gradients of shadow settle across the lids, sculpting depth and quiet drama. Lashes darken and lengthen, framing the gaze with a velvety softness that feels both elegant and alluring. The EvoX cosmetics arrive in beautifully crafted separate options — allowing me to define each detail individually, from the delicate shaping of the liner to the nuanced layering of shadows.

 

Then come the lips.

 

A precise liner traces their natural contour before color fills the form. Sometimes I choose a subtle satin finish, other times something deeper and more daring. The EvoX set allows each component to stand on its own — liner, lip tone, and finish — so the final result feels tailored rather than predetermined.

 

✨ And then… the eyes themselves awaken.

 

I slip into the luminous realism of the Lory Eyes by Frida, designed for Lelutka heads. Their detail is extraordinary — irises rich with depth, reflections that catch light naturally, and delicate shading that makes every glance feel alive.

 

The set includes ten beautifully crafted colors, allowing my gaze to transform effortlessly:

 

• crystalline blues

• soft natural greys

• warm hazels

• forest greens

• deep ambers

 

Each shade carries its own personality. Paired with the EvoX cosmetics, the eyes become mesmerizing — defined lashes, softly blended shadows, and a gaze that seems to speak before a single word is said.

 

Only once the face is complete do I reach for the final adornment.

 

🌷 The Floral Earrings by SkindustrialBodyWorks.

 

They bloom delicately beside my cheeks like tiny sculpted gardens — petals layered in elegant metallic forms that catch the light whenever I move. Their design feels both modern and timeless, as though nature itself had been translated into jewelry.

 

✨ The included HUD turns them into a bouquet of possibilities.

 

With a simple selection, the petals shift through an array of colors and metallic finishes — luminous golds, polished silvers, romantic rose tones, and vibrant floral hues. Each variation allows the earrings to harmonize perfectly with my cosmetics and the mood I wish to create.

 

And suddenly, everything comes together.

 

The Lory Eyes by Frida bring life to my gaze.

The EvoX cosmetics by Braham Fashion sculpt expression and emotion.

And the Floral Earrings by Skindustrial BodyWorks bloom beside my face like the final flourish of elegance.

 

It is a quiet composition of beauty — where cosmetics, jewelry, and mood move together in perfect harmony.

 

✨ Discover these pieces at the Swank Wild Spring Event:

Because sometimes the most captivating beauty is not loud at all… it is simply composed with care.

So, after she has finished this photo she goes to a club or a beautiful sim to relax and clear her mind.... She is all excited because her future is starting NOW, she doesn't look back even for a blink of an eye...

You are asking what is happening next? Well, I don't know, I'm still typing this text... ;)

all I know is, my black & white phase has arrived. Everything will be black & white now...no more "maybes" or "we will see". It will be "yes" or "no".

I can't seem to focus

And you don't seem to notice

I'm not here

I'm just a mirror

You check your complexion

To find your reflection's all alone

I had to go

Can't you hear me?

I'm not comin' home

Do you understand?

I've changed my plans

'Cause I, I'm in love

With my future

Can't wait to meet her

And I, I'm in love

But not with anybody else

Just wanna get to know myself

I know supposedly I'm lonely now (lonely now)

Know I'm supposed to be unhappy

Without someone (someone)

But aren't I someone? (Aren't I someone? Yeah)

I'd (I'd) like to be your answer (be your answer)

'Cause you're so handsome (you're so handsome)

But I know better

Than to drive you home

'Cause you'd invite me in

And I'd be yours again

But I, I'm in love (love, love, love, love)

With my future

And you don't know her

And I, I'm in love (love, love)

But not with anybody here

I'll see you in a couple years

Hi All, long time no see. I was staffing at a camp this whole week so life has been pretty crazy up until now. Anyway I will get back to the dolly introductions.

 

Nova is an ice mermaid. Her cold hues and pale complexion bring out the chill in her season of Winter.

Likewise her tail fins and fin ears are in a mating gradient. Her top is embellished with glitter and a shimmery backing to reflect the light like she was ice. Her crown is winded with a mix a purls and dangling gems to show her importance of all the sea creatures she has in her care.

 

Her element is water and likewise is hardly a fan of land... or things form that world for a mater of fact. Nova is one of the boldest of the sisters and likes to prove why she is always right, even if she can't XD However she dose have a sweet side if you look hard enough. She is like deep sea treasure, all you have to do is open the lock. ^_^

Release soon!

Fair skin complexion variant! (You are the best Annie <3)

newly encarna.

 

i was so shock when my brother told me that the coronada visited a town near us. he told me that it can't be the callejera that he saw that time coz she is somewhat dark and her hair is different. but when i asked him what template is being used he txt me that is it the dome shaped gold and silver andas. gathering from the infos that he gave i knew that it was not the coronada... but i need to investigate. hehehe

  

i searched for the whereabouts of the pilgrim. after many visits to diff chapel in that town where my brother saw her i decided to head for the chancery, because i just cant find the callejera.

 

there at the chancery stood the coronada in her marvelous altar so i am totally correct that the coronada didn't leave her palace.

 

on my way home while riding a jeepney i heard the hymn of delos remedios being sung. i panicked... hahaha. i asked the driver to drop me off.

 

she is really there. her hair is made of abaca now. and her complexion is morena. she is still lovely but her face is somewhat a little bit sad yet still enigmatic. i personally love her previous encarna. but there is no doubt that she is still lovely...

 

she is not wearing anymore the earrings that we gave her, kaya di sya nakilala ng kapatid ko. but i'm so happy that the blue crystal rosary that i made for her is still the one she is holding.

 

viva virgen delos remedios!

Faces

 

Poor old granddad

I laughed at all his words

I thought he was a bitter man

He spoke of women's ways

 

They'll trap you, then they use you

Before you even know

For love is blind and you're far too kind

Don't ever let it show

 

I wish that I knew what I know now

When I was younger

I wish that I knew what I know now

When I was stronger

 

The can-can such a pretty show

Will steal your heart away

But backstage back on earth again

The dressing rooms are grey

They come on strong and it ain't too long

For they make you feel a man

But love is blind and you soon will find

You're just a boy again

 

When you want her lips, you get her cheek

Makes you wonder where you are

If you want some more then she's fast asleep

Leaves you twinkling with the stars

Poor young Grandson, there's nothing I can say

You'll have to learn, just like me

And that's the hardest way

 

Ooh la la

Ooh la la, la la, yeah

- Ron Lane, Ronald Wood

Apparently Cleopatra who was considered a beautiful women was also taking bath in milk, donkey milk, in order to improve her complexion... If you are ever tempted by a milk bath "a la Cleopatra", here is an article discussing the science behind the practice and its real "benefits".... I myself will just stick to the ordinary bath and shower....

This ceremony is called "Gaye Halud".

A ceremony in which five or seven married women of the household grind turmeric with mortar and pestle and anoint the bride with turmeric paste. This brightens up the bride's complexion and makes her skin glow.

 

The tying of the nuptial knot in traditional Bengali style entails a series of elaborate and colorful rituals, which are not only enjoyable but are of great significance in conjugal life.

 

Been busy arranging my Sister's marriage. Did not get any chance to take photos due to that. Just the one that I took on the entire event. Please comment...

Goddess Kali: Kali is a fierce and powerful deity in Hinduism, often depicted with a dark complexion, multiple arms, and a garland of skulls. She is worshipped during Kali Puja for protection and to destroy evil forces.

 

Celebrations: Kali Puja is celebrated with great fervor and enthusiasm. The main puja (worship) involves rituals like bathing the idol of Kali, offering flowers, incense, and sweets, and performing aarti (ritual of waving lighted wicks) while chanting hymns and mantras.

 

Artistic Representations: In West Bengal, artisans create elaborate idols of Goddess Kali, often depicting her in various dynamic and symbolic poses. These idols are worshipped in homes, temples, and pandals (temporary structures).

 

Cultural Significance: Beyond its religious aspects, Kali Puja is deeply embedded in Bengali culture. It coincides with Diwali celebrations in other parts of India but holds a distinct cultural identity in Bengal, where it is one of the major festivals of the year.

A man who spends most of his time in the great outdoors, I would guess

 

Ingrid and Morticia couldn’t look more different (height, age, complexion, style, etc) but they have the exact same hair!

 

for some reason mattel decided to use the same fibre, color, length, and pattern of hair on both these dolls — and it’s lovely and soft, not complaining, but it just struck me as funny.

(funnier somehow because they arrived at my house around the same day)

 

they do also have a bit similar taste in clompy shoes, and both wear glasses. so there's that, too.

This girl is 24, from Liberia, and fair in complexion; she was a medical student but gave up after two years study. Her father, Dr. Dion Chris Aburey ($5.5m) was Director of Dion Industry Company, and was, according to her email "killed by armed rubber". The mind boggles - was he hit over the head by a contraceptive sheath, i wonder? The picture was found somewhere on skyrock.com

 

This model's picture is also used by Jennifer Aburey - same pack of lies at Happiness. This one is a member of www.linkinn.com, where she is "Semmy"; oddly enough, from Senegal!!

Busardo ratonero

(Buteo buteo)

Probablemente, la clave del éxito de una de las rapaces más abundantes de Europa sea la absoluta falta de especialización en cualquiera de las facetas de su biología. En efecto, el busardo ratonero es un ave acomodaticia, que puede reproducirse satisfactoriamente en infinidad de hábitats y de climas, que preda sobre un espectro amplísimo de la fauna local y que manifiesta una notable tolerancia hacia el hombre y las modificaciones que este impone en el medio.

Identificación

Es una rapaz de mediano tamaño, complexión robusta y coloración muy variable, que posee un aspecto bastante rechoncho cuando se la observa posada. En vuelo exhibe unas alas relativamente cortas y muy anchas y una cola no demasiado larga, que frecuentemente despliega en abanico, gracias a lo cual el ave puede practicar durante largo rato un vuelo sostenido que alterna con cernidos ocasionales. Su plumaje presenta numerosas variaciones individuales, por lo que se pueden observar desde individuos muy claros hasta ejemplares bastante oscuros. No obstante, la coloración más típica del adulto es de un tono marronáceo bastante homogéneo en las regiones dorsales y ligeramente más clara en las ventrales, donde aparece una franja pectoral blanquecina de desigual extensión. En vuelo se hacen patentes unas amplias manchas relativamente claras —muy barradas— coincidentes con las rémiges primarias y secundarias en su cara ventral. Las alas muestran el borde posterior recorrido por una banda oscura, al igual que la cola, que puede aparecer variablemente barrada. El joven presenta las partes inferiores de desiguales tonos marrones y las coberteras dorsales con bordes pálidos; además, su cola está finamente barrada, pero carece de la ancha banda terminal propia de los adultos. Visto ventralmente, no se aprecia con nitidez el reborde posterior oscuro de las alas, y tanto estas como el cuerpo dan la sensación de estar más estriados que barrados. Finalmente, a diferencia de los adultos, que poseen el iris de color oscuro, el del joven es bastante claro.

Mignonne, allons voir si la rose

Qui ce matin avait éclose

Sa robe de pourpre au Soleil,

A point perdu cette vesprée

Les plis de sa robe pourprée,

Et son teint au vôtre pareil.

Sweetheart, let’s see if the rose

That this morning had open

Her crimson dress to the Sun,

This evening hasn’t lost

The folds of her crimson dress,

And her complexion similar to yours.

Sonnet 18

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 dimm'd;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;

Nor shall death brag thou wander’st 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.

**🎬 Prompt :**

 

Portrait cinématographique hyperréaliste d’une femme aristocratique à l’allure impériale, assise sur un trône baroque richement sculpté en bois doré, dans une salle de palais somptueuse éclairée à la bougie. Elle porte une robe de velours rouge profond aux broderies noires et dorées, avec un corset finement ornementé, évoquant une noblesse ancienne ou une reine gothique. Son cou est paré d’un collier imposant serti de pierres rouges scintillantes assorties à ses boucles d’oreilles pendantes.

 

Son visage est parfaitement symétrique, à la peau pâle et lumineuse, avec des traits délicats mais une expression intense, presque hypnotique. Ses yeux vert émeraude brillent d’une lueur surnaturelle, fixant directement la caméra avec autorité et mystère. Ses lèvres rouges contrastent fortement avec son teint, renforçant son aura dramatique.

 

Sa coiffure est élégamment relevée, composée de boucles structurées dans un style inspiré du XVIIIe siècle. L’arrière-plan est richement décoré : lustres en cristal scintillants, chandeliers multiples diffusant une lumière chaude et dorée, rideaux épais en velours, architecture classique aux détails ornés.

 

L’éclairage est cinématographique, avec un jeu de clair-obscur accentué : lumière chaude venant des bougies créant des reflets dorés sur les surfaces, ombres profondes ajoutant du contraste et du mystère. Profondeur de champ faible avec un arrière-plan légèrement flou (bokeh lumineux), mettant en valeur le sujet principal.

 

Ambiance : sombre, royale, mystérieuse, gothique romantique, inspirée des films historiques et fantastiques.

Style : ultra-détaillé, photoréaliste, rendu 8K, textures riches (velours, métal, pierre), éclairage volumétrique, HDR.

Caméra : plan rapproché centré, angle frontal, objectif 85mm, faible profondeur de champ.

Qualité : netteté extrême, détails fins de la peau, des tissus et des bijoux.

**🎬 Prompt:**

 

Hyper-realistic cinematic portrait of an aristocratic woman with an imperial presence, seated on an ornate baroque throne carved from gilded wood, inside a lavish palace hall illuminated by candlelight. She wears a deep crimson velvet gown with intricate black and gold embroidery, featuring a finely structured corset, evoking an ancient nobility or gothic queen aesthetic. Around her neck rests a luxurious statement necklace adorned with sparkling red gemstones, perfectly matching her dangling earrings.

 

Her face is flawlessly symmetrical, with pale, luminous skin and delicate yet striking features. Her expression is intense and captivating, almost hypnotic. Her emerald green eyes glow subtly with an otherworldly intensity, staring directly into the camera with authority and mystery. Her rich red lips contrast sharply against her complexion, enhancing the dramatic mood.

 

Her hairstyle is elegantly styled in an elaborate updo, composed of structured curls inspired by 18th-century aristocratic fashion. The background is richly decorated with shimmering crystal chandeliers, numerous candle holders casting warm golden light, heavy velvet curtains, and classical architecture with ornate detailing.

 

The lighting is cinematic, emphasizing strong chiaroscuro: warm candlelight creating golden highlights across surfaces, contrasted with deep shadows that add depth and intrigue. Shallow depth of field with a softly blurred background (luminous bokeh), keeping full focus on the subject.

 

Mood: dark, regal, mysterious, gothic romantic, inspired by historical and fantasy films.

Style: ultra-detailed, photorealistic, 8K rendering, rich textures (velvet, gold, gemstones, stone), volumetric lighting, HDR.

Camera: centered close-up shot, frontal angle, 85mm lens, shallow depth of field.

Quality: extreme sharpness, highly detailed skin texture, fabric, and jewelry.
