Ein blühendes Symbol für den Frühling und immer “En vogue” – die Tulpe / Zeichnung © Roswitha Geisler

Es ist schon erstaunlich, was in unserem Draußen-Wohnzimmer so alles los ist, sobald die ersten warmen Sonnenstrahlen auftauchen. Unübersehbar erfüllen sich jetzt hier alle Sehnsüchte nach Frühling: da leuchten die bunten Primeln unterm Apfelbaum in freundlich frischen Farben, da trällern schnittige Kleiber um die Wette, summen dicke Hummeln zwischen Buschwindröschen und stellen sich die Tulpen zu einer leuchtend lässigen Farbparade auf.

Lime – Aid

🟢 🎬 HELLO BEAUTIES! THIS POST FROM OUR FRIEND DIEVCA CONTINUES WITH THE “GREEN” OF JULIE’S ROOM. THE VIDEO ON A THEME OF BURT BACHARACH IS VERY FUNNY.

dievca

On the flight to Los Angeles, dievca picked up a Financial Times and there was a great Sunday Style insert.  she’s been disappointed with Fashion Reporting in the recent past, except for Harper’s Bazaar.  It was a treat that the FT did not disappoint either.

A small blurb showed some Lime-Colored offerings for the new season:

This Lime agenda was pushed forward after admiring Dionne Warwick singing Burt Bacharach:

Since dievca should be saving her pennies –  she shopped her apartment:

Not glamorous, but some Lime-Aid.

Glamour – 1940’s Movie Star Style

Art Gowns

Dahlings, it was the 1940’s. For half the decade the world was at war and then it was recovery time. Days were hard, but Hollywood kept us entertained with escapist Movie Star Glamour.

Whether a promotion for an actor or a movie, the studios spared nothing.  Katherine Hepburn made wearing wide leg pants éclat. Here, in Hepburn style palazzos, is Art Director Rebecca!

Thank you Rene! Although, in the only actual copy of a gown here today, you give Ava Gardner in “The Killers” a run for her money. Now, let’s get on with it! First out on the catwalk is AGM Gigi.

Inspired by Betty Grable, Gigi is bewitching in this Art Gowns original.

There’s no mistaking the influences of Marlene Dietrich & Rita Hayworth in Marina’s one of a kind design. Such vintage beauty!

AGM Dale is dazzling in her rendition of a Carmen Miranda gown.

Nikolai Bogdanov-Belsky: Latgalian Girls

🙆🏻‍♀️🎨 THE HEAD SCARF IS USED ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. THIS PATTERN CAN BRING FRESHNESS TO DRAWINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS. HERE IT ALSO BRINGS BEAUTY TO A PAINTING.

At Sunnyside - Where Truth and Beauty Meet

Nikolai Bogdanov-Belsky, (1868-1945),  LATGALIAN GIRLS,  signed in Latin l.l., oil on canvas, 67.7 by 78cm, 26 1/2 by 30 3/4 in., Source: Sotheby’s ,  Link: http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2011/russian-paintings/lot.217.html?locale=en

Latgalian Girls Listening

Latgalian Girls belongs to a series of paintings depicting the children of the territory of eastern Latvia which provided great inspiration for the artist following his permanent move to Riga in 1921. These sun-suffused canvases which captured the local peasant children in their native countryside were exhibited to great acclaim at the Riga Art museum in 1925.

Here, the two young sitters are turned away from the viewer, as if listening intently to Bogdanov-Belsky, who would entertain his models as he worked with captivating tales of the artists whom he admired.

Fashion at the ASA Art Market

📌🖌️ 🛍️ HELLO SISTERS! TODAY WE VISIT AN INTERESTING ART MARKET. AND FASHION TOO. WHY NOT? THIS IS NOT A CATWALK, BUT ARTISTS ALSO CAN BE CHARMING PEOPLE, WEARING THEIR FAVOURITE CLOTHES.

lifelessons - a blog by Judy Dykstra-Brown

This is one of the best Lakeside Art Markets I’ve been to in 21 years. The setting is charming, the art was so irresistible that I bought a painting and two pieces of jewelry even though I have not one inch of space on my walls to hang another painting and have so much jewelry that I’ve been giving it away to visiting friends and relatives.  I’ll show my new painting later once I receive it as the paint was still drying when I bought it..ha. But, the other thing I noticed was the number of ladies in absolutely smashing clothes. At times it looked like models in a fashion show wandering through the crowd. Here are just a few of my favorites.

They, themselves, were walking works of art:

The Vulgar: Sergi yapımcisi Judith Clark ve psikanalist Adam Philips tarafından tasarlanan sergi, moda anlayışını bu kelimenin çağrıştırdığı şeyler doğrultusunda yeniden tanımlamayı   ve de moda kavramını yeniden sorgulatmayı vaat ediyor.. Bir zamanlar kaba,kitch, pespaye diye nitelendirilen moda akımlarının zamanla moda fenomeni haline nasıl dönüştüğünü ve 18. yy. korselerinden günümüz over-size trendlerine nasıl gelindiğini ortaya çıkarmak amaçlı..

The Barbican gallery has announced a new exhibition for the autumn dedicated to vulgarity in fashion from the renaissance to the present day.

The Vulgar: Fashion Redefined was conceived by exhibition maker Judith Clark and psychoanalyst Adam Phillips. It explores how ideas of vulgarity have changed and evolved, from extreme 18th-century corsets to the modern…
