Now I know why there are ashes on the couch!
*I miss taking pictures of my little ones since I started working at a studio again. This is one is from last December! I hope I can take some more pictures soon, during weekends maybe, they are the light of my life...*
A court in Ecuador has found Chevron guilty of massive environmental pollution and human rights violations in the Amazon, and has ordered the company to pay $8 billion to clean it up. But Chevron has vowed to appeal the decision, and clearly plans to stall indefinitely, hoping never to pay its due. So the Change Chevron team got together with our friends and allies at Amazon Watch, Greenpeace, Global Exchange, and Communities for a Better Environment (of Richmond, CA) headed down to Chevron’s HQ in San Ramon, CA, and delivered a message to the company: Chevron was found guilty because the company is guilty. Time to accept responsibility and clean up the oily mess in Ecuador!

One of my so called guilty pleasures is to put one some half ass attempt at 60's make-up, part my hair like Twiggy and take selfportraits!
If I didn't like so many kinds of fashion, I'd dress up as a mod girl every day :D Loooove the 60's <3
(I know, this one is funny XD)
These pictures also look really desaturated at Viewfinder, hopefully they'll look like they use to look on Flickr :x
And yes, it's quiet busy with that background but I was too lazy to change it :P

The Postcard
A carte postale published by Neurdein et Cie of Paris.
It was posted to:
Miss B. Warwick,
50, Cliff Terrace,
Carlisle,
England.
The message on the back of the card was as follows:
"On Active Service.
30.6.18
Having a gay time though
we have been a trifle busy.
How do you like work?
Billy sends his best wishes.
Love to all,
S."
Amiens
Amiens is the chief city of Picardy, in the valley of the River Somme, and is just over 100 km north of Paris.
Amiens Cathedral
The Gothic Cathedral of our Lady of Amiens is the tallest complete cathedral in France, with the greatest interior volume (estimated at 200,000 cubic metres).
According to this estimate, the cathedral could comfortably accommodate well over sixty billion marbles. (Yes, billion, not million!) This number of marbles, laid end to end, would produce a line 900,000km long - it would encircle the earth 22 times, or stretch to the moon and back nearly two and a half times. It's a big building!
The vaults of the nave are 42.3 metres high.
Work on the cathedral started in 1220 and was mostly finished by 1266. The floors include a number of designs, including a swastika. The labyrinth was installed in 1288.
The cathedral contains what is alleged to be the head of St. John the Baptist, a relic brought back from Constantinople. You can find out what happened to one of his fingers by searching for the tag 65SJD88. There are bits of him all over the place! In fact the Great Mosque in Damascus also claims to hold the head of John the Baptist.
The west front of the cathedral, which is shown in the photograph, was built between 1220 and 1236. It shows an unusual degree of artistic unity. Its lower tier with 3 vast deep porches is capped with a gallery of larger than lifesize kings which stretches across the entire façade beneath the rose window.
The immense rose window has a diameter of 43 feet (13m).
Above the rose window is an open arcade - the Galerie des Sonneurs. A sonneur is a player of traditional music, primarily in Brittany, typically playing a clarinet or the Breton bagpipe.
In the 1919 book Mr. Standfast by John Buchan (1875-1940), the character Richard Hannay describes the cathedral as being:
"The noblest church that the
hand of man ever built for God".
Lady Isobel Barnett
So what else happened on the day that the card was written?
Well, on Sunday the 30th. June 1918, Isobel Morag Marshall was born. After her marriage she became known as Lady Isobel Barnett. Isobel was a Scottish radio and television personality, who had her highest profile during the 1950's and 1960's.
Isobel Barnett - The Early Years
Barnett was born in Aberdeen, the daughter of a doctor. She went to the independent Mount School in York and, following in her father's footsteps, studied medicine at the University of Glasgow.
Isobel qualified as a doctor in 1940, and married solicitor and company director Geoffrey Barnett the following year. He was knighted for political and public services to the city of Leicester in 1953. Lady Barnett gave up her medical career in 1948, and for the next 20 years was a Justice of the peace.
Radio and Television
In 1953 Isobel arrived on BBC television as one of the panel of 'What's My Line?', which made her a household name. She appeared on the programme for ten years, but was not an original panellist, her seat having been previously occupied by Marghanita Laski.
Isobel was regarded by audiences as elegant and witty, the epitome of the British aristocracy, although her title actually came from the fact that her solicitor husband had been knighted; she was not an aristocrat, nor had she married into the aristocracy.
Isobel also made regular appearances on the BBC radio series 'Any Questions', on the radio panel game 'Many a Slip', and on the women's discussion series 'Petticoat Line'. She was greatly in demand as an after-dinner speaker, a role into which she slipped confidently.
In 1956, a reviewer predicted that an alien visiting from another planet could ask anyone between the ages of seven and 70 "What is What's my Line?" and "Who is Isobel Barnett?" and be confident of getting an answer.
Later Life and Death of Lady Isobel Barnett
In her last years, Barnett became reclusive and eccentric. In 1980 she was found guilty of shoplifting, and fined £75 for stealing a can of tuna and a carton of cream worth 87 pence from her village grocer.
This brought her briefly back into the public eye; four days later, on the evening of Sunday the 20th. October 1980, she was found dead at her home in Cossington, Leicestershire.
Isobel was found dead in the bath, into which she had thrown an electric heater, causing ventricular fibrillation and a heart attack. The local doctor gave the cause of death unusually as uremia. Her body was cremated in haste before a full post-mortem could be carried out, and the whole affair was hushed up as far as was possible.
During the inquest, police testified that Isobel wore an extra spacious pocket, known as a poacher's pocket, sewn inside her coat when she was caught stealing the groceries. Two days before her death, Barnett told an interviewer she was a compulsive thief, and had been shoplifting for years.
Finding that Barnett, a trained physician, killed herself deliberately with an overdose of arthritis painkiller, coroner Guy Tooze said:
"She had recently suffered one
of the most traumatic experiences
any woman could suffer.
I am satisfied she took a fatal
overdose deliberately, and knew
what she was doing".
A Daily Mail columnist commented:
“I am sorry for the generation of
women among whom Lady Barnett
finds herself.
Often their lives, without a career
and with children gone away from
home, go racing downhill into sheer
grinding boredom.”
There still seems to be some confusion to this day over whether Isobel's suicide resulted from a drug overdose, electrocution or uremia.
