She talks to me

UP There

A plane flies across the Moon in a snap that's taken by photographer Christopher Tomas.

He had to wait until the Qantas Dash 8's flight path coincided with the Moon's correct phase in Queensland, Australia.

Typically, the Modern Times :)

Sleek :)

I admit it, I have some strange favourite things :D, one of them is the look of samurai swords and how they are handled with utmost courtesy and respect !

Wills & Kate

P.S. I liked this flash segment on a british site :D made me laugh actually especially the last slide!. and turned it into pictures here.







The news had it yesterday, they are officially engaged. Prince William and Katherine Middleton are engaged, with the same famous sapphire engagement ring of Lady Di, his late mother. Anyway, my reflection on the matter, besides wishing him a much better luck than his parents, Is that they actually had known each other for Nine years, broke up briefly in 2007 an then got together again.
He's 28 , she's six month older. He's literally, an officer and a gentleman, who can really afford financially getting married at 21 if he wanted to, but nobody told him you got to get married!. she's 28, nobody told her she's way late and losing time or geting old and so!. They really got to know each other well, and took a step ahead when they felt it was right! Like that so much. But then again that was UK, not ARE ! :)
Well done Wills & Kate :) and good luck.

Pandora, and the flying Dutchman

Well , apart from feeling furious or stressed or sad for the past couple of days, I had a treat for the eyes. I've watched the movie starring Ava Gardner and James Mason :)))))))))) Yes , and I was just thinking, what was all that beauty on earth !!!!! and without any plastic surgeries too ;)

Ava Gardner, well, once called the world's most beautiful animal !!. I think enough is said, this title can never fit anyone else I think. she wasn't exactly the fineest actress here but was delighteful to see. especially with her very elegant gowns. superb :D:D :D

as Per James Mason, well, He is the sum of it all in one man. Always a happy event for me to see him in a movie, sharp & gentle, cold as ice & passionate, sarcastic & discreet, evil & kind. and one more charactaristic that characterized all the leading men in the 40s-50s , not a single wrinkle in the suit :D :D. I mean what kind of fabrics they used to have back then ? :D :D
anyway that wasn't his best performance too.
Still I loved to see them both on screen :)

Guilty pleasures

..... So what! :D :D

Think Pink :)

Paris

The photo in the previous post is a one in a photo gallery of Paris, my Favorite city, and I wanted to share this gallery here. http://www.pbase.com/morepix/paris_diffuse
but I liked those two best.

Something Nice

Well, to start a new year I've decided to start with one of my favorite things, Beauty!.

And to me Ava Gardner is the most beautiful brunette in the 20th century, and I guess the 21st as well.

Life imitating art & art imitating life, The Age of Innocence

Of my all time favorites, this is the right one to put today :) I need to watch it very soon.




Ellen Olenska: I knew you'd come.
Newland Archer: That shows you wanted me to.

Ellen Olenska: Newland. You couldn't be happy if it meant being cruel. If we act any other way I'll be making you act against what I love in you most. And I can't go back to that way of thinking. Don't you see? I can't love you unless I give you up.

Newland Archer: You gave me my first glimpse of a real life. Then you asked me to go on with the false one. No one can endure that.
Ellen Olenska: I'm enduring it.

Ellen Olenska: How can we be happy behind the backs of people who trust us?

Ellen Olenska: Is fashion such a serious consideration?
Newland Archer: Among those who have nothing more serious to consider.

Ellen Olenska: Is New York such a labyrinth? I thought it was all straight up and down like Fifth Avenue. All the cross streets numbered and big honest labels on everything.
Newland Archer: Everything is labeled, but everybody is not.

Ellen Olenska: I think we should look at reality, not dreams.
Newland Archer: I just want us to be together!
Ellen Olenska: I can't be your wife, Newland! Is it your idea that I should live with you as your mistress?
Newland Archer: I want... Somehow, I want to get away with you... and... and find a world where words like that don't exist!

Ted Archer: [on his mother]The day before she died, she asked to see me alone, remember? She said she knew we were safe with you and always would be because once when she asked you to, you gave up the thing you wanted most.
Newland Archer: [after a long pause] She never asked. She never asked me.

Ellen Olenska: They never knew what it meant to be tempted, but you did.

Newland Archer: [Last lines] Just say I'm old-fashioned. That will be enough. Go on, now.
