#AbFav_FESTIVITIES_🎄
A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.
Quote by Nelson Mandela
Yes, this year in our large kitchen, the theme is ALL HEARTS... lol.
So, a heart-given image.
In many countries, it is quite traditional to have handmade and woven decorations in white and red, silver and gold...
I have shoots where they give me things to photograph and never want it back, that means I can do my free photography when I have time, and after that, it goes to the charity shop.
Sprinkle a bit of festive angle-dust around you, you'll feel great!
Don't ever let the child in you die!
I wish you all the very best, and thanx for all your kind words, time, comments and faves. Very much appreciated. M, (*_*)

7in Golf Themed 75th Birthday Cake for a very very special wonderful Elder Gentleman. Butter cake with buttercream/cream cheese frosting and fondant details.
They requested a cake with a Paris theme but didn't want to spend a whole lot. This is what I came up with.
My second painted cake - I think I'm liking this new medium!
Fishing theme cupcakes for a friend's 42nd birthday. When I asked him what he wanted on his cake, he said: "fish, crabs and big boobs!!"
I was going to do a big cake but wimped out because of the heat and humidity at the moment!
Chocolate mud cupcakes with raspberries, coated in dark choc ganache and covered in fondant. The first time I have covered cupcakes with fondant. Cupcakes are so fiddly!
All decorations are also fondant and edible.
We're off to the beach for a BBQ - hope they survive!
Along with the freeway system I can tell my dad got a kick out of this pavilion at the Los Angeles airport. Out of multiple photos, I like this one the best because of how dated the cars look by comparison.
As a non-Angelino I was very dimly aware of this structure, but wrongly assumed it was an air-traffic control tower. In fact it was just an observation deck and a (sadly non-rotating) restaurant. In this photo it's still so new that it looks like they hadn't finished delivering plants in containers.
I made this for my son's 9th birthday. Buttercream with fondant decorations. Popcorn is made from marshmallows.
It's time for Halloween! While the rest of us get ready with costumes, party and events, Second Life sim builders have created several places for us avies to explore.
We went to a few last week and ran into some incredible builds and artwork. All included haunted houses, pumpkin patches, Halloween shopping and music.
Paradise City sim featured House of Horrors, a mesmerizing psy place with cuddle areas for avies. We snuck a kiss in the purple and red bedroom LOL!
At the Pixel Trix sim, we found Octobervile. Then, the Dark Dharma on Dacia provided halloween themed costumes. I liked this one a lot! Very scarey and very cool navigation through the haunted house. At the haunted house for Dark Dharma, we even did a seance listening to very spooky voice of Vincent Price. Ooooooo.
But the very best was at Le Cimetierie, an old build featuring gothic church. We came back to this one twice, taking pictures at the church with both of us hanging from the cross. (shhh... a couple of Catholics being so silly) Notice Xavier praying below me. LOL!
Also, the first party we hit for Halloween theme was at BassLine Junkiez. DJ Doubledown Tandino was spinning a 70's pimp party. OMG, I never laughed so hard. Everyone sported an afro including me. (I can't believe we all had the same things in our inventory)
Doubledown spun Super Fly and tunes from Jackie Brown. I had 5 inch platforms and a disco dress while Xavier was dressed quite like a gangster. So fun. One avie sported a full on drug dealer costume LOL!
Halloween is fun. Explore the SL sims and enjoy these fantastic displays of goth, horror and surrealism. Ciao!
I was introduced to the world of Vanillaware relatively late, playing Muramasa: Rebirth on the Vita, a remaster of an older Wii title. They've made a variety of genres, though all of them have an action theme to them and feature gorgeous hand animated characters with a very unique aesthetic and the ability to overwhelm their intended hardware. They've been around for a while though, since at least the PS2 days with games like Odin Sphere (which is the one most people know them for).
Back in 2013 or so, George Kamitani, the mad genius behind Vanillaware, was able to get a dream project of his published - Dragon's Crown, a four play co-op side scrolling beat'em up with a fantasy theme. Offering five classes, my persona melee favourite is the Amazon, a very much in-your-face Glass Canon.
The game was popular enough to receive a HD remake on PS4 in 2018, at which time FINALLY someone made an action figure from the series, namely a Parfom of the Amazon (much to my delight). To my utter horror, it's now 2020 and there has been no other entries into the series, which is a bit disappointing considering that Odin Sphere got two entries in Parfom and two Figma.
So what I'm trying to say is yes, in 2020, this figure was a colossal pain in the ass to find.
Luckily, hours of scanning random sites resulted in one that came through at MSRP - Toyjapan based out of Portugal, an authorized Good Smile Company dealer.
She comes with the figure, three additional hands (two for posing, one for holding her apple), an apple, and two different axes with interchangeable parts (one has a bent handle to simulate the force of being wielded by her) as well as two different bases, a dead enemy skeleton thing, and of course, the Parfom base, in this case with a claw attachment in addition to the the standard connector.
Overall, it seems that Phat traded faces for admittedly large and substantial weaponry and a skeleton thingie... I think I would have liked an angry face as opposed to that skeleton.
Back on track, being a Parfom, you can see the general oversized head aesthetic that the entire line goes for. The figure bears the characteristics of the Amazon - long flowing Blonde hair with a feather and headband, basically not there armour, and of course, her Thicc-ness. Sorceress may win the Boobs game, but Amazon is the Queen of Junk-In-The-Trunk.
In fact, it's one of her signature moves - the Hip Splash.
Also common to Parfom is the artists emphasis on the head and general facial features. I feel that the character select screen Amazon face has been captured quite well, and while you can argue the expression is kind of general, it's the eyes I can see it in. Definitely different from the Saber's on my desk, which even between themselves are different. What's really great is the amount of detailing put into the hair (and feather) and I suppose the lack of swappable face plates kind of helps prevent possibly screwing it up with seamlines.
Moving into my usual areas of critique, articulation. You get ankles, single jointed knees with some lower leg rotation, thigh twist, hips, mid tors, shoulders with lateral movement and bicep swivel, single jointed elbows with forearm rotation capabilities, wrists, and ball jointed head - almost the same as the Sabers, but missing the waist for aesthetic purposes.
Thigh twist is typical type, but well executed in that the seam isn't too obvious. Hips are a bit wonky to pose due to their very usual contours, but I found I was able to get the legs where I wanted, though admittedly I didn't do anything super extreme. Overall though, it's nice finally having a Parfom that isn't restricted by a dress. Otherwise, the upper torso will pretty much get what you're looking for done.
Paint wise is an interesting story. 99 percent of the paint on her is great. Flesh tones are nice and even, as in the hair and all other large applications such as her axes. Decal work is great for both her eyes and thigh tattoos. Even the gold and silver bits on her outfit are fantastic. The red on the other hand...
There's red trim for her bikini and her wrist. For whatever reason, there were blob of red paint all along lower torso along the bikini bottom line, both back and front. Well, it was either wet paint or a combination of paint and mould oils... either way, she looked like it was that time of the month.
Luckily, I guess, it seems that they put plastic on top of it pretty much as soon as painting was completed, which somehow preserved the wetness of the paint so I was able to clean it up to the best of my ability with my finger. It looks alright, but not quite as crisp as I'd like along her back.
From a build perspective, pretty much the only issue I had was that for reasons, the wrist peg on my right arm split apart, though fortunately I'm able to get it back in place. Otherwise, Amazon is a solid figure with the usual expected levels of materials, finish, joint strength, and QC.
That, friends, was the Parfom Amazon. If you're a Dragon's Crown fan, this is a no brainer.. it's not like they made any other action figures from the line, and I guess the Parfom is easier to display (both in size and overall look) than any of the scale statues. I'm quite happy how she turned out (though a bit annoyed with the nagging quality items I experienced) and can only hope that one day the line expands so the set can be completed.
School dinner ladies, Chinese theme day.

JAZZ - "Influence of Ragtime on Early Jazz"
Ragtime music had a brief but spectacular run of less than 20 years between 1899, with the release of Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag," and 1917, with Joplin's sad passing in a mental institution from tertiary syphilis. Part of the reason for ragtime's demise was the sobering effect of the First World War, which made ragtime seem outdated, coming as it did from a more innocent era. There were brief revivals of ragtime in the 1920s, 1950s and 1970s, but after 1930, it was largely consigned to musical history as a precursor of early jazz.
Early Jazz
•Early jazz was a widespread development that took place simultaneously in many parts of the country over a long period of time. It not only incorporated the syncopated beat of ragtime, but earlier field hollers and spirituals, the driving marches of brass bands, and instrumental horn-based blues. As the popularity of classic ragtime faded, its African influence became stronger, with added blues tones and more complex rhythms. Both ragtime and early jazz contained the elements of polyrhythms, syncopation and collective improvisation, in which musicians break away from the central theme. However, both forms lacked the element that defines the genre of jazz as we know it today -- solo improvisation.
Ragtime Definition: A predecessor of jazz, ragtime became popular in the late 1800s through wide distribution of printed music. Based on the march, popularized by John Philip Sousa, ragtime was written to accompany dancing. Its buoyant and cheerful style carried into stride piano and other early forms of jazz. Scott Joplin and Jelly Roll Morton were the most famous composers of ragtime music.

This theme would be difficult for me as Rob and I were leaving to go camping. Barkerville was our destination and I knew or thought no where would I find JAZZ in that Old Historical Town. We had to go shopping and last minute packing and leaving Price Smart I saw this Yellow truck parked outside and the logo had a man with a trumpet and I thought, " Wow this could be my theme photo for JAZZ!". I quickly took the photo with my phone. I thought how lucky I was to have this shot just before leaving for our trip. However again as luck would have it , in Barkerville in a candy/ice cream shop I came across this CD just sitting on a window shelf. Nothing in this town represented JAZZ however there it was just waiting for me to take that shot. Of course this was quite exciting as this was like finding "GOLD" like back in the days of Gold Rush fever.

Francesco Bassano (1549-1592), active in Bassano and Venice
Summer, around 1576
The portrayal of the annually recurring peasant activities in series of twelve, six, or four paintings is a theme that goes back to the book painting of the Late Antiquity. In the 16th century, in Dutch it came to a heyday of this genre (Pieter Bruegel the Elder), who was followed by Jacopo and Francesco Bassano. The summer stems from those series of season paintings with which each a scene from the Old Testament in the background is represented. To the sheepshear in the foreground, grain cutting and threshing in the middle comes the sacrifice of Isaac on a hill in the distance.
Francesco Bassano (1549-1592), tätig in Bassano und Venedig
Sommer, um 1576
Die Darstellung der jährlich wiederkehrenden bäuerlichen Tätigkeiten in Serien von zwölf, sechs oder vier Bilden ist ein bis auf die Buchmalerei der Spätantike zurückgehendes Thema. Im 16. Jahrhundert kam es in der niederländischen Kunst zu einer Blüte dieser Bildgattung (P. Bruegel der Ältere), der Jacopo und Francesco Bassano nachfolgten. Der Sommer stammt aus jener Serie von Jahreszeitenbildern, bei denen im Hintergrund jeweils eine Szene aus dem Alten Testament dargestellt ist. Zur Schafschur im Vordergrund, Kornschnitt und Dreschen in der Mitte kommt die Opferung Isaaks auf einem Hügel in der Ferne.

Main building of the Kunsthistorisches Museum at Maria-Theresa-Square
The Kunsthistorisches Museum (KHM abbreviated) is an art museum in Vienna. It is one of the largest and most important museums in the world. It was opened in 1891 and 2012 visited of 1.351.940 million people.
The museum
The Kunsthistorisches Museum is with its opposite sister building, the Natural History Museum (Naturhistorisches Museum), the most important historicist large buildings of the Ringstrasse time. Together they stand around the Maria Theresa square, on which also the Maria Theresa monument stands. This course spans the former glacis between today's ring road and 2-line, and is forming a historical landmark that also belongs to World Heritage Site Historic Centre of Vienna.
History
Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in his Gallery
The Museum came from the collections of the Habsburgs, especially from the portrait and armor collections of Ferdinand of Tyrol, the collection of Emperor Rudolf II (most of which, however scattered) and the art collection of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm into existence. Already In 1833 asked Joseph Arneth, curator (and later director) of the Imperial Coins and Antiquities Cabinet, bringing together all the imperial collections in a single building .
Architectural History
The contract to build the museum in the city had been given in 1858 by Emperor Franz Joseph. Subsequently, many designs were submitted for the ring road zone. Plans by August Sicard von Sicardsburg and Eduard van der Null planned to build two museum buildings in the immediate aftermath of the Imperial Palace on the left and right of the Heroes' Square (Heldenplatz). The architect Ludwig Förster planned museum buildings between the Schwarzenberg Square and the City Park, Martin Ritter von Kink favored buildings at the corner Währingerstraße/ Scots ring (Schottenring), Peter Joseph, the area Bellariastraße, Moritz von Loehr the south side of the opera ring, and Ludwig Zettl the southeast side of the grain market (Getreidemarkt).
From 1867, a competition was announced for the museums, and thereby set their current position - at the request of the Emperor, the museum should not be too close to the Imperial Palace, but arise beyond the ring road. The architect Carl von Hasenauer participated in this competition and was able the at that time in Zürich operating Gottfried Semper to encourage to work together. The two museum buildings should be built here in the sense of the style of the Italian Renaissance. The plans got the benevolence of the imperial family. In April 1869, there was an audience with of Joseph Semper at the Emperor Franz Joseph and an oral contract was concluded, in July 1870 was issued the written order to Semper and Hasenauer.
Crucial for the success of Semper and Hasenauer against the projects of other architects were among others Semper's vision of a large building complex called "Imperial Forum", in which the museums would have been a part of. Not least by the death of Semper in 1879 came the Imperial Forum not as planned for execution, the two museums were built, however.
Construction of the two museums began without ceremony on 27 November 1871 instead. Semper moved to Vienna in the sequence. From the beginning, there were considerable personal differences between him and Hasenauer, who finally in 1877 took over sole construction management. 1874, the scaffolds were placed up to the attic and the first floor completed, built in 1878, the first windows installed in 1879, the Attica and the balustrade from 1880 to 1881 and built the dome and the Tabernacle. The dome is topped with a bronze statue of Pallas Athena by Johannes Benk.
The lighting and air conditioning concept with double glazing of the ceilings made ​​the renunciation of artificial light (especially at that time, as gas light) possible, but this resulted due to seasonal variations depending on daylight to different opening times .

Empire
The Kunsthistorisches Museum was on 17 October 1891 officially opened by Emperor Franz Joseph I. Since 22 October 1891 , the museum is accessible to the public. Two years earlier, on 3 November 1889, the collection of arms, Arms and Armour today, had their doors open. On 1 January 1890 the library service resumed its operations. The merger and listing of other collections of the Highest Imperial Family from the Upper and Lower Belvedere, the Hofburg Palace and Ambras in Tyrol will need another two years.
189, the farm museum was organized in seven collections with three directorates:
Directorate of coins, medals and antiquities collection
The Egyptian Collection
The Antique Collection
The coins and medals collection
Management of the collection of weapons, art and industrial objects
Weapons collection
Collection of industrial art objects
Directorate of Art Gallery and Restaurieranstalt (Restoration Office)
Collection of watercolors, drawings, sketches, etc.
Restoration Office
Library
Very soon the room the Court Museum (Hofmuseum) for the imperial collections was offering became too narrow. To provide temporary help, an exhibition of ancient artifacts from Ephesus in the Theseus Temple was designed. However, additional space had to be rented in the Lower Belvedere.
1914, after the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne, his " Estonian Forensic Collection " passed to the administration of the Court Museum. This collection, which emerged from the art collection of the house of d' Este and world travel collection of Franz Ferdinand, was placed in the New Imperial Palace since 1908. For these stocks, the present collection of old musical instruments and the Museum of Ethnology emerged.
The First World War went by, apart from the oppressive economic situation without loss. The farm museum remained during the five years of war regularly open to the public.
Until 1919 the K.K. Art Historical Court Museum was under the authority of the Oberstkämmereramt (head chamberlain office) and belonged to the House of Habsburg-Lorraine. The officials and employees were part of the royal household.
First Republic
The transition from monarchy to republic, in the museum took place in complete tranquility. On 19 November 1918 the two imperial museums on Maria Theresa Square were placed under the state protection of the young Republic of German Austria. Threatening to the stocks of the museum were the claims raised in the following weeks and months of the "successor states" of the monarchy as well as Italy and Belgium on Austrian art collection. In fact, it came on 12th February 1919 to the violent removal of 62 paintings by armed Italian units. This "art theft" left a long time trauma among curators and art historians.
It was not until the Treaty of Saint-Germain of 10 September 1919, providing in Article 195 and 196 the settlement of rights in the cultural field by negotiations. The claims of Belgium, Czechoslovakia, and Italy again could mostly being averted in this way. Only Hungary, which presented the greatest demands by far, was met by more than ten years of negotiation in 147 cases.
On 3 April 1919 was the expropriation of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine by law and the acquisition of its property, including the "Collections of the Imperial House" , by the Republic. Of 18 June 1920 the then provisional administration of the former imperial museums and collections of Este and the secular and clergy treasury passed to the State Office of Internal Affairs and Education, since 10 November 1920, the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Education. A few days later it was renamed the Art History Court Museum in the "Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna State", 1921 "Kunsthistorisches Museum" . Of 1st January 1921 the employees of the museum staff passed to the state of the Republic.
Through the acquisition of the former imperial collections owned by the state, the museum found itself in a complete new situation. In order to meet the changed circumstances in the museum area, designed Hans Tietze in 1919 the "Vienna Museum program". It provided a close cooperation between the individual museums to focus at different houses on main collections. So dominated exchange, sales and equalizing the acquisition policy in the interwar period. Thus resulting until today still valid collection trends. Also pointing the way was the relocation of the weapons collection from 1934 in its present premises in the New Castle, where since 1916 the collection of ancient musical instruments was placed.
With the change of the imperial collections in the ownership of the Republic the reorganization of the internal organization went hand in hand, too. Thus the museum was divided in 1919 into the
Egyptian and Near Eastern Collection (with the Oriental coins)
Collection of Classical Antiquities
Collection of ancient coins
Collection of modern coins and medals
Weapons collection
Collection of sculptures and crafts with the Collection of Ancient Musical Instruments

The Museum 1938-1945
Count Philipp Ludwig Wenzel Sinzendorf according to Rigaud. Clarisse 1948 by Baroness de Rothschildt "dedicated" to the memory of Baron Alphonse de Rothschildt; restituted to the Rothschilds in 1999, and in 1999 donated by Bettina Looram Rothschild, the last Austrian heiress.
With the "Anschluss" of Austria to the German Reich all Jewish art collections such as the Rothschilds were forcibly "Aryanised". Collections were either "paid" or simply distributed by the Gestapo at the museums. This resulted in a significant increase in stocks. But the KHM was not the only museum that benefited from the linearization. Systematically looted Jewish property was sold to museums, collections or in pawnshops throughout the empire.
After the war, the museum struggled to reimburse the "Aryanised" art to the owners or their heirs. They forced the Rothschild family to leave the most important part of their own collection to the museum and called this "dedications", or "donations". As a reason, was the export law stated, which does not allow owners to perform certain works of art out of the country. Similar methods were used with other former owners. Only on the basis of international diplomatic and media pressure, to a large extent from the United States, the Austrian government decided to make a change in the law (Art Restitution Act of 1998, the so-called Lex Rothschild). The art objects were the Rothschild family refunded only in the 1990s.
The Kunsthistorisches Museum operates on the basis of the federal law on the restitution of art objects from the 4th December 1998 (Federal Law Gazette I, 181 /1998) extensive provenance research. Even before this decree was carried out in-house provenance research at the initiative of the then archive director Herbert Haupt. This was submitted in 1998 by him in collaboration with Lydia Grobl a comprehensive presentation of the facts about the changes in the inventory levels of the Kunsthistorisches Museum during the Nazi era and in the years leading up to the State Treaty of 1955, an important basis for further research provenance.
The two historians Susanne Hehenberger and Monika Löscher are since 1st April 2009 as provenance researchers at the Kunsthistorisches Museum on behalf of the Commission for Provenance Research operating and they deal with the investigation period from 1933 to the recent past.
The museum today
Today the museum is as a federal museum, with 1st January 1999 released to the full legal capacity - it was thus the first of the state museums of Austria, implementing the far-reaching self-financing. It is by far the most visited museum in Austria with 1.3 million visitors (2007).
The Kunsthistorisches Museum is under the name Kunsthistorisches Museum and Museum of Ethnology and the Austrian Theatre Museum with company number 182081t since 11 June 1999 as a research institution under public law of the Federal virtue of the Federal Museums Act, Federal Law Gazette I/115/1998 and the Museum of Procedure of the Kunsthistorisches Museum and Museum of Ethnology and the Austrian Theatre Museum, 3 January 2001, BGBl II 2/ 2001, in force since 1 January 2001, registered.
In fiscal 2008, the turnover was 37.185 million EUR and total assets amounted to EUR 22.204 million. In 2008 an average of 410 workers were employed.
