Beethoven menu
Quien dijo que la musica clasica es seria ? Seguro que no ha visto este video de aqui abajo, o este de Dudley Moore alla por los 1950s.
Who said clasical music has to be serios and food to the spirit. This video proves otherwise.But don't think that funny clasical music acts are a new trend, Dudley Moore was already doing it in the 1950s.

Hace unas horas - Morning
Empeze el dia con un desayuno relajado mientras veia la nieve caer. Encuentro que es de lo mas tranquilo y sereno eso de ver los copos flotar hasta llegar al suelo.. eso si desde la ventana de la cocina. Luego paseito por el parque de la esquina a disfrutar de la vista. Ahora solo nos quedan las aceras grises pero hace seis horas estaban preciosas.Today we woke up to a huge snowfall that didn't stop for several hours. I don't complain I enjoy them a lot, its so peacefull and serene seen snow falling. Then I got ready and went out to the park around the corner to see the lace like trees with their snow covered branches, bliss.

Ganchillo musical - Musical Crochet
Dicen que quien canta sus males espanta. En casa pachucha y con pocas ganas de cantar, a ver si ganchillear las notas ayuda . Esta es mi primera nota, una version en tres dimensiones aqui en Nuland News .
At home unwell, and remembering the phrase : singing scares away many ills. I do not feel like singing, but I wonder if crocheting the notes might help. Mine's are flat, but you can have tridimensional ones at Nuland News.

Jen Kao
El ganchillo y las sandalias a macrame estuvieron presentes en la Semana de la moda de New York en los modelos que Jen Kao presento para la Primavera/Verano 2011. Interesantes dos modelos utilizando el mismo motivo cuadrado de piñas, uno entallado, otro mas suelto y etereo, ambos de inspiracion 1970s. El vestido corto 1980s con el detalle central y de mangas a ganchillo me atrae, por la forma como usa el ganchillo para crear un efecto minimalista con impacto. Las sandalias a macrame me encantan aunque no puedo dejar de pensar que deben de ser un lio el ponerselas. La pasarela completa en fotos en style.com y en video aqui.
Modelos de temporadas anteriores algunos tambien a punto, en su pagina web. Fotos Jen Kao.
Crochet and macrame fashion for Spring 2011 from New York based designer Jen Kao. Interesting her mix of inspiration. Clever use of the same pineapple square motive on two storybook dresses of 1970s airs. Minimalist use of crochet detailing to great effect, creating a 1980s look . Interesting net crochet dress. Love her use of macrame for the gladiator sandals. Fashion slide show here and video here. Photos Jen Kao.

Dia libre - Day off
Ayer dia libre para darme un homenaje. Visita a la exhibicion Dior Illustrated: Renee Gruau & the line of beauty. Su colaboracion con Dior duro mas de 50 años, produciendo unas imagenes que marcaron estilo y son aun actuales. Reconoceis alguna ? Sus ilustraciones de lineas simples pero cargadas de sensualidad, con un uso restringido del color que las hace mas glamorosas y elegantes aun. Por si eso fuera poco tambien tenian 8 vestidos de la casa Dior, 5 de Galliano y 3 de Mr Christian. De alli a otra sala cercana a ver una mini exhibicion fotografica de Mathew Williamson, que me supo a poco as ser solo fotografica, lo mejor el pasillo de fuera con unos techos pintados y unas lamparas de lo mas original. Arriba mi coleccion de postales de Gruau, aqui imagenes de la exhibicion ya que no se permiten fotos.
I took the day off yesterday and went to see the Dior Illustrated: Renee Gruau & the line of beauty. 40+ works of one of my favorite illustrators for Dior Perfums and if that wasn't enough three models of Christian Dior and five of Gallliano. I enjoy his simple but sensual drawings, so sexy and elegant at the same time. See an interview with the curator here. Once there I also saw the Mathew Williamson one which was nearby, too little, too small, just a few photos to promote his book. Its best bit the outside corridor with lovely painted ceilings and very original lamps. My Gruau postcard collection and some images of the exhibition found on the web as photos are not allowed.
