Smile is the most beautiful sunshine                   
Worth watching short film which will give you ideas of finding a new attitude towards life
‘Validation’  from Youtube  16 min Oct,2008 

 
‘Fashion cannot make you sexy. Experience makes you sexy. Imagination makes people sexy. You have to train yourself, you have to study, and you have to live your life.’

 

 ‘My role in all of this is very simple. I make clothing like armor. My clothing protects you from unwelcome eyes.’

 

‘I believe that there are three conditions to a woman’s beauty. First, you must realize that not all women are beautiful all of the time. Sometimes beauty comes on a subconscious level. When she is in love, or has met someone new and exciting, she shines. Second, you must understand that life is unfair. Beauty is something that, for some, must be worked at. The third condition is luck. Some women can just be lucky.’

 

‘I love the back. A beautiful back makes a beautiful front. When you slouch, think about what happens to your front. You have to keep your back in the right position. This is where your spirit lies.’

inspiring exhibition  ’Watercolour’  at Tate Britain 16 February  –  21 August 2011 (still got nearly a month left!)                                                                                                            Here are some of the work which impressed me the most:

Hhareem Life, Constantinople (1857) by John Frederick Lewis            watercolour on paper

Unfortunately I cannot find high quality image of this painting, so this picture doesn’t show how nice the actual painting is. On the real painting, all the colours and lines are super delicate, especially the peacock feathers on the left.

Damascus

Damascus (1861) by Edward Lear

I cannot imagine watercolor could be drawn in such an exquisite way! really nice texture

Arthur Melville The Blue Night, Venice 1897
