Holy Snapping Duck Do! I just climbed out from under my rock and realised I have not updated this since the last week of the last month... You would not believe it only hurts when I laugh. Please don't abandon me!.
I am totally and utterly flat out with setting fire to people wearing Crocs, being distracted by the shiny, just generally being a pain to my partner, my day seems to be a litany of stuff and giggles from the light through yonder window breaks to way past dusk. I am plotting and planning. it will be fun fun fun till they take my TBird away.
I absolutely, positively promise I will write something that makes sense soon. I promise! I really, truly promise!

Busy from here to the eternity
BTW, I kept saying I I I in relation to the wedding arrangements because I am dealing with most of it, but without the consultation and approval of my half apple. ; )

Carmen ~ 60 seconds review
The centre-staged scenography of the Royal Albert Hall replaced the stalls creating an involving setting. The gipsy costumes were cool and, thanks to Steve's cool binoculars, I got intimate close-ups. Being able to see the facial expressions as well as listen to the voices made a huge difference in empathising with the character's emotions. And sensuality.
The music was flawless to my amateuristic ear but too *familiar*. The songs have been so commercialised that my mind kept associating them with advertisements and products. To my shame, I didn't even realise that Carmen was performed by a soprano and a mezzo soprano, and so Micalea's role.
The biggest disappointment was the language: it was in English! Ale still can't get to terms with the unaware choice of having booked it in translation. "Which country does need to translate opera?!", She wondered. I welcomed dialogic parts in lieu of recitals, as I can't stand the latter, but in English I felt like being at a musical more than the opera.

Engaged Girl in a not-so-engaged world
Here some photos from my engagement party, just a few to show you my kimono-style dress in relation to my post below. We did not take many photos and I am not happy with those I took. I think I need to refine and polish my photographic skills...

2009 Oscars
The long-awaited Oscar red carpet is in full swing, and I am glued to the telly ready to steal a glance of cinema stars and their attire before the show commences.
The first (very young) lady to catch my eye was Miley Cyrus, nominated for best animated film, in a gown by the lebanese designer Zuhair Murad. The dress did not impress me only for its undeniable beauty. What surprised me is that from the waist down it is the exact copy(cat) of the monumental Junon by Dior, a wonderful dress sported by Ann Theophane Graham, an iconic model from the fifties. Look and judge by yourself:

kimono style dresses are flattering on you!
my friend's friend got this on sunday in Columbia Road Flower Market. it is a Diane Von Fustenberg piece. it was so perfect on her french body.

i love this kimono. the colour blocks could resemble a Matisse painting.

Temperley is unbeatable for retro-style tunics with bold colours and eccentric prints.
Antonio Marras, ah Marras, we are all looking forward to land into your affordable Isola Marras.
fabolous, a brand loved by Californian celebrities.
to conclude this catwalk of delicacies, the cherry on the cake: a William Matthewson kimono extravaganza.i am going to slip into a similar style (with a much cheaper label) on saturday for my engagement party, but i will not disclose the model till then... : P
