"I wish for freedom from the diseases that plague mankind"
Nan
One wish tag found on Yoko Ono's Wish Tree at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.
When I read this I first thought more of the social and attitude-based "diseases" that mankind suffers from rather than the biological/medical ones. To me, the open-ended communication/inspiration is the real strength of this exhibit.
For a short while back in August and September last year we had free-reign of a disused office block in Sheffield. I visited numerous times with several others. One of my favourite Sheffield rooftops. Bonus lift-surfing!

Last summer Sophal & ND Strupler visited Cambodia with their 2 kids. The trip to Cambodia has awakened a deep passion to help the 20,000 street children in Phnom Penh living on the streets. This life style perpetuates the poverty cycle by depriving these children an opportunity for growth. They wanted to do something NOW! So they started selling their Art (Painting & Photography) to raise money and help Cambodian kids get off the streets.
Strupler ART
TOGETHER WE CAN HELP CAMBODIAN KIDS GET OFF THE STREETS!
With the partnership of the Big Brother, Big Sister – “Bong Paoun Project,“ local volunteers will help street kids break the cycle of poverty allowing them to get an education so their children will not have to work on the streets of Cambodia.
Background
Sophal's story began when she was abandoned on the streets of Phnom Penh at about 3 months of age. A Swiss Red Cross nurse found her and nursed her back to health. This nurse was a friend of Sophal's current adoptive parents.
Sophal & ND have been married since 1994 and have a 10-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son.
Art Show in Fountain Valley
With the Art-Show in Fountain Valley they want to share their experiences in Cambodia. Their trip was peppered with an array of emotions, Full of joy, beauty, sadness and suffering. They are now completely committed to making a difference in the lives of Cambodian children through their passion of painting and photography.
All Paintings and Photography will be auctioned.
Bidding starts at $30, $50, and $80.
FairPlay
100% of the net proceeds from this event will support the work in Cambodia.

Apologies for the odd views through the windows; a little Photoshopping to conceal some vehicle identities!
The booklight in his hand was available for 500 yen or about 5 USD. His entire sales pitch was carried out in English.
Sorry I didn't have enough cash on me to purchase a booklight.
Hello twiinz!
Last week, all of you had to do a Winter Couture shot for the TWODELS magazine of this year's winter collection. Me and the twiinz have seen gorgeous, fantastic and . . . interesting shots. But hey! This was your first theme, and the first time your twiinz showed me how they model. Anyhow, even if it's the first theme, we still need some twiinz going back home! BUT we also need the cover of the TWODELS magazine. Let's see . . .
*Don't blame my harsh jugement. I know it sometimes can be a little bit hard to take. But that's the way it is. :)*
NO ORDER FOR THE JUDGING!
Avalon & Alia : I must say, those cat hats are quite cute! It's really different from other winter clothes. That's what I like about this first picture. Plus you're looking very confident and stunning here, just as if you were ready to rock out the TWODELS magazine cover! Though there's one thing I don't like about this photo : the background. I don't think it fits in the 'winter mood'. You could have also changed the lighting, and make it softer. So it'd would have looked more like you were posing for a winter collection.
Note : 8.6/10 Congrats! :)
Iris and Tamara : Wow. Your poses and faces connections are perfect. You look absolutely gorgeous, and the outfits are great. I don't think there's anything bad about this picture. I see two girls that have a lot of potential, and show it! By the way, those blue eyes are breathtaking. You're lucky...
Note : 9/10. Congrats! :)
Rose and Lana : Girls . . . this is . . . a-mah-ziiiiing. You used so much creativity! And I think originality is one of the most important skill for a top model. You did it very, very well. And let's talk about your looks ; wow! You two are real redhead beauties that can definitly wear pretty winter clothes! Good job.
Note : 9.6/10. Congrats! :)
Victoria and Allison : OMG! Allison is totally stealing the show here! You're one of the most gorgeous girl this week, and you've got one of the best outfit! Even though I think Allison looks a lot more like a model than Victoria on this shot, I still think you did a great job. I like the way this picture's having a soft lighting. It's really "winter-ish". Awesome first shot!
Note : 9/10. Congrats! :)
Mary and Ashley : Ok girls, now this is what I was looking for. You blew me away! The snow flakes, the soft ambiance, the outfits...and you, looking so gorgy! It looks like you spent your life posing for magazines. There's nothing bad about this pic. Bravo! I love it.
Note : 9.8/10. Congrats!
Rachel and Bree : Wow, wow, wow! Are you secret top models? This is flawless! Your clothes are to die for. It remembers me a lot of Coco Chanel stuff. I like everything about this picture, as well. You're pretty, girls, and you show it up. You know how to use your beauty. Great job!
Note : 9.3/10. Congrats!
Rylan and Reesey : This is a nice winter shot, but Rylan is looking a bit stiff. On her auditions pic I really liked her and immdediately thought she'd be an awesome poser, but here she disaspointed me. Reesey is looking pretty good, though. She stands out a lot! But only 1 on 2, it's not enough. I want both of you to look as gorgeous as Top Models. Well, girls, I know you can do better than this.
7/10. Congrats! :)
Hope and Esperanza : I like the background and your coats. Othwerwise, I think your makeups kind of ruined the whole thing. I'm not a big fan of those colorful colors. You should have chosed something a little sweeter and softer to represent Winter Couture. Your poses are super great, though. But this is not your best shot.
7/10. Congrats!
Spencer and Riley : Wow! Those outfits are the best out of the bunch! So vintage and edgy at the same time! You wear them really well, and I think your outfits are making the picture. The background is a little bit boring, but you girls are looking so gorgeous that we don't even notice it! Have you ever posed? It looks like you did! Great job.
8.5/10. Congrats! :)
Stacey and Gwen : You look truly pretty here! I like the snow flakes all over your face, it's so 'winter-ish'! Even though there's one thing I dislike : if there wasn't any snow flakes, we couldn't tell it was a Winter Couture shot. The outfits didn't caught my eyes, and I'd have liked to see you from head to toe, which is something important 'cause the challenge of this week was to present a Winter Collection. Overall, it's not a bad picture. But I would have excepected more.
6.9/10. Congrats! :)
Jason and Kayleigh : .. The theme wasn't 'Let's play in the snow!'.Though, this picture looks like it is. You disapointed me. You guys don't look as stunning as you should have. Plus we can barely see your outfits. I repeat ; you had to show me the TWODELS magazine winter collection! It's a funny picture, but not what I wanted.
5/10. Congrats! :)
Sindel and Patricia : Uhm...I have to say ; you look pretty and have great poses. But I don't really like the whole thing. The picture is blurry and the background is boring. Perhaps you could have done better than this? I don't know. Sindel, Patricia. Huge disapointment here. Sorry if I sounded rude.
4/10. Congrats! :)
Jackilyn and Jonah : Even if this is shot is a little blurry, I think you have awesome outfits and that you look great. You improved a lot from your audition picture! It's not WOW, but it's not EW either. You respected the requirements, and I like that.
6.7/10. Congrats! :)
Ok! Judging's over! But who will be on the TWODELS magazine cover? And who will have to leave us?
HERE'S THE PLACES (from best to worst) :
And the girls that are going to be on this week's TWODELS magazine cover are...
1st Place : Mary and Ashley!!! (RainbowDoll489) CONGRATULATIONS. According to me you've done the BEST job this week. And the best always need a prize! Hehe! :D Congrats, you guys are representing this year's TWODELS magazine winter collection !
2nd Place : Lana and Rose ! (Carol Parvati)
3rd place : Rachelle and Bree! (JESSIR)
4th place : Allison and Victoria! (bunnyboo83)
5th place : Iris and Tamara! (bratzfan626)
6th place : Alia and Avalon! (Josh's Tribe)
7th place : Spencer and Riley ! (Drekitude™)
8th place : Rylan and Reesey! (xTahliabellx)
9th place : Hope and Ezperanza! (Blake's Dolls)
10th place : Gwen and Stacey! (M.Johnathan)
11th place : Jackilyn and Jonah! (yo mama stinks so badly)
BOTTOM TWO :
- Jason and Kayleigh ; you didn't respect the theme, which I don't like. Your pic wasn't bad, but it just wasn't what I was looking for.
- Sindel and Patrica ; you respected the theme, but your picture wasn't really model-ish. It was all blurry and boring.
A pair of twiinz is going to be sent home. . . . but which ones? The ones that didn't respect the rules or the ones that don't have a lot of potential to be models (yet) ?
The ones who are leaving are...
Sindel and Patricia. I'm so sorry, but you didn't show me what you could do. You disapointed me. For the moment I don't see any potential in you. But maybe I'm wrong. Well, good luck in the future and it was nice having you in my BNTTM! Goodbye and goodluck! :) xoxox
So, Jason and Kayleigh, you are staying. But next time READ THE RULES and your pic will be a lot better. I'm sure you can be great models. Just have to show it up!
That was it for the judging and eliminationz. The next theme is coming soon! Stay tuned.

*** a poem for my beloved G bro ***
let’s peep,
let’s wonder;
be bold,
be gifted;
be thankful for you and me…
have met on the same path,
have pounded on the same dream,
have soared at the same height;
let's play our pianos,
let's write our songs;
be fused
be amazed,
till the last drop of our breath,
till the death of our dwarf;
don't bid farewell,
don't say goodbye,
let’s sit together on our mount green,
watching the sunset …maybe the sunrise;
fossils forevr and ever.
*a poem for my beloved G Bro*

For Global Entrepreneurship Week, the U.S. Mission co-sponsored a town hall at the United Nations in Geneva "Women's Empowerment through Entrepreneurship". The event organized in conjunction with the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), WIPO, ILO, ITC, the Youth Employment Network, UNDP, UNITAR, and the Mexican Mission to the UN Offices in Geneva included entrepreneurs from the United States, Mexico and Colombia and from organizations that support entrepreneurs in Ethiopia and Switzerland. Ambassador Betty E. King remarked that entrepreneurship for women is a "vital source of growth. By increasing women's participation in the economy and enhancing their efficiency and productivity, we can dramatically enhance the competitiveness and growth of our economies."

For some reason, Chaco Canyon has always been on my bucket list. my wife and I checked it out in April 2018 on the way to Texas. Chaco is in NW New Mexico, about 20 some miles off the main road in the area. The dirt road is mostly good, until some bone jarring miles at the end. We stopped at the Visitor Center, got some info, and went exploring on the loop road. This place has a fascinating history, being a major site starting about 1,200 years ago and flourishing for 300 years before something happened. We checked out several of the areas including Hungo Pavi, Chetro Ketl, and Pueblo Bonito. Even though the park is mostly ruins it was fascinating to see how people survived in such harsh conditions.
I took these photos in April 2018.

For regular visitors to my photostream, I apologise for the lack of individual captions in this set. Normally I to try to add a proper write-up for each image, but this batch was professionally shot for the event organisers and in such cases it's more important to get material online quickly for promotional purposes.
The Great Knaresborough Bed Race has been a firm fixture of this quiet Yorkshire countryside town for 46 years now. Once a year, over 90 teams exert a great deal of effort into designing and decorating beds, which are first paraded and then raced through the town in a madcap dash which culminates in crossing the River Nidd to reach the finish line. It is institutional British eccentricity at its very finest, and a thoroughly fun event to attend.
This year, participants were given a fancy dress theme of “Olympic Nations”, a topic with broad scope which allowed teams to get imaginative with their costumes! The images seen in this set were shot on behalf of Knaresborough Lions Club, who are responsible for organising the event. For more information, click here to visit their website.

Some signs from April 9 2018 rally for allowing homeowners to add an auxiliary dwelling unit to their property in some of the residential zones of Bellingham where this is currently not allowed.
Several very compelling arguments given by speakers at the rally. Below is a letter I sent to city council favoring the idea.
Dear Bellingham City Council
Allowing auxiliary dwelling units (ADUs) is a good idea to help alleviate Bellingham's housing shortage. It also helps to bring income diversity to Bellingham's neighborhoods; rather than concentrating lower income people in certain areas and higher income people in other areas. Income diversity can knit society together more. Income diversity in neighborhoods can help to bring more trust and connection among our citizens.
It's also good for the environment to provide more places to live in the city; rather than people having to dwell in the county possibly facing longer commutes.
We do face the problem of population growth. That's a worldwide problem. Like quite a few cities and towns in this country, Bellingham is a popular place to live. Population growth comes from several sources including immigration to the US. There are some folks who would like to build a wall; especially on our country's southern border. I've also heard that idea expressed in another way; a wall across I-5 south of Bellingham to keep people from moving here. There's also the idea that a restrictive single family neighborhood can be a wall as well; especially when median home prices are starting to reach toward the half million dollar mark. I hear today's median price is around $380,000 and rapidly rising.
Walls can be draconian and impractical. Instead, it's up to us to do our part to accommodate people. Yes, I am one to support reducing world population growth, but in the meantime new people are a reality. We need to practice what we preach if we want to be a welcoming city and a place that also strives to reduce the carbon footprint. This versus pushing the growth into the county's rural areas.
I am also okay with the part of the proposal that I hear would wave some of the permitting and park impact fees for the small units. As a person who's transportation is by bicycle, I do appreciate park space, but I also realize the need for some compromise. This relates to the concept of taxes and fees being progressive. That can help to give smaller footprint units a slight break.
Thanks for your consideration.
Robert Ashworth.
See my impressions after city council meeting here.
Let me introduce you my new outfit made with ingenuousness for Sophia. She desired an "Sailor" dress set.
Regarding the colors, I did a study around the tones of an old doll whose the atmosphere is a very soft sailor witch I love a lot.
So a base of ivory and blue-gray with a touch of tonic red.
This set consists of a dress, an overskirt, removable collar and stockings.
- The dress is cut in a lined fabric and trimmed with lace and ribbon at the bottom.
- For the stockings and the dress's breastplate, I painted myself red stripes on an ivory fabric to give an old craft touch.
- The removable sailor collar finished by a small red bow, edged with fine aqua silk ribbon
I also want to introduce you one of my new dolls customized by me during the past months.
Her name is "My Bloomy" because she's very inspired by Bloomy Bloomsbury, one of my favorite Blythe.
She is a FBL original Takara Blythe "Prima Dolly Tokyo", I bought her second hand to be customized for me.
Work done:
· Carving of her nose, lips and philtrum
· New full makeup made with artist Extra Soft Pastels "à l'écu" from Sennelier and sealed with several layers of MSC
· Tiny freckles
· Sleepy eyes
· Gaze corrected
· New lashes
· Eyelids painted with artist Extra Soft Pastels "à l'écu" from Sennelier
· Four new pairs of eye chips hand painted by me using professional Golden iridescent fluid acrylics. Blue(right), Dark red (center), Pink (left), Dark green (center)
· Full reroot using locked loop method with Katsilk 83 Glitter saran, a lovely mixture of two light brown
Je l'adore!! :-))
Thank you very much for your visiting!
