Love Being Yourself!

     

“The supermodel Claudia Schiffer was famously “discovered” while dancing at a disco in Dusseldorf. After she became one of the most famous and well-paid models in the world, young women began flocking to the same nightclub, all hoping for their own chance at celebrity. But here’s the thing about Claudia Schiffer in the German nightclub: it wasn’t about her being at the right nightclub, it was about her being Claudia Schiffer. Ideally, if there really is a person out there for everyone, they're a person who likes you, not whether you went to the right nightclub, or wore the right proportions of lipstick and eyeshadow, or put yourself out there enough (whatever that means). And hopefully, to him, you'll  be Claudia Schiffer.”

Everything Dances

Everything in the universe has rhythm. Everything dances.

Sculpture

“Dancing is creating a sculpture that is visible only for a moment.”

Love your Best Photographs not your Best Camera!!

“The instrument is not the camera but the photographer.”

– Eve Arnold

Photos are without time... A day at the beach in the 1950s looks somewhat like a day at the beach now.

It's not the different cameras, the different types of film you use or even how you develop the film or technically alter the digital image... The heart of any image lies with the photographer. You can have any working camera, and shoot a spectacular image. Do not be discouraged by professional photographers or have to listen to all their advice... Listen to some of it though if you wish to emulate them. Otherwise, like any true artist... Eventually you must create your own style. With some hard work you'll create something you love and it will show!.

The Best Cameras you may love will come and go but your Best Images are forever! Love them!

Some advice I was once given by my design mentor and I think it applies to all art: “A true designer finds an image that is a timeless moment and captures it in a space. It can never be re-experienced again. Duplicated, yes, recaptured no. Go and find what inspires you and take pictures of it! Capture moments & materials from the present and design from them.”

Enjoy what you have! Don't be afraid to break or change cameras. It happens. Trust your own style and imitate to learn... yes copy until you find what works. But never think you need an expensive camera or type of camera to capture the best shot! Listen to yourself, trust your instincts and don't be afraid to take advice from others!

Love yourself more!

Be Fabulous Always!

Are you a drag or in drag??? Dont ever be a drag... Especially if you decide that you look your best in drag! Be fabulous always! It's far more appealing... Love yourself more!

Noxeema Jackson: When a straight man puts on a dress and gets his sexual kicks, he is a transvestite. When a man is a woman trapped in a man's body and has a little operation he is a Transsexual. 

Miss Chi-Chi Rodriguez: I know that. 

Noxeema Jackson: When a gay man has way too much fashion sense for one gender he is a drag queen. 

Vida Boheme: Thank you.

Daylight

Daylight, full of small dancing particles. Can you see them when I whisper in your ear? 

~Rumi

Bare

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

~ Buddha

Some women are comfortable simply as themselves others need to emulate women like Marilyn Monroe. The best way to bare it all is to be yourself dolls... And not be or emulate anyone else.

Love yourself more!

"Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are"

~Marilyn Monroe

Dreamers and Make-believers

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one.

August

“It is August. My life is going to change. I feel it.” 

~ Raymond Carver

Style Icon: Audrey Hepburn ~ Appreciate

Life is a wonderful splendor... It's best to appreciate everyone and everything in it truly. Who best to take life lessons about appreciation from than a style icon like Audrey Hepburn...

      

“Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.”

“Your heart just breaks, that's all. But you can't judge, or point fingers. You just have to be lucky enough to find someone who appreciates you.”

“To live for the day, that would be materialistic — but to treasure the day. I realize that most of us live on the skin — on the surface — without appreciating just how wonderful it is simply to be alive at all.”

~ audrey hepburn 

Love ~ Power

I'm not sorry I wasn't her

I'm not sorry I'm not her

I'm not sorry I will never be her

I'm not sorry I am me.

I am in love with being me.

And I'll never apologize for who I am. 

Because owning and being that love...

That is power.

Dance

Dance until you fall,

Dream and believe;

Follow what you're searching for,

One day the brave adventurer will be no more.

You'll just vanish away like midnight smoke!

~ Julian Lennon

Sleep: Dreams and Nightmares 42

“My soul is an enchanted boat,

Which, like a sleeping swan, doth float

Upon the silver waves of thy sweet singing” 

- Percy Bysshe Shelley

Bow

“Bow to the past, Dance to the present and leap into the future. There is always something to live and be grateful for.” 

Sleep: Dreams and Nightmares 41

“The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads...”

The Music 83

You've gotta swim

Swim for your life

Swim for the music

That saves you

When you're not so sure you'll survive

You gotta swim

Lovelies

Sometimes I think that all anyone needs in life is lots of popcorn and a few Lovelies

~ Sam Savage

Flow

“…As the great Confucius said, “The one who would be in constant happiness must frequently change.” Flow. But we keep looking back, don’t we? We cling to things in the past and cling to things in the present...Do you want to enjoy a symphony? Don’t hold on to a few bars of the music. Don’t hold on to a couple of notes. Let them pass, let them flow. The whole enjoyment of a symphony lies in your readiness to allow the notes to pass...”

~ Anthony De Mello
