glass making, a new project

I have always been interested into DIY projects. Have some experiences in making china, metal articles or a mix; all are very fun. I have not tried making glass or even been to any glass art studio before, but very soon I will get a chance. For not looking as ignorant as a child when visit, I started collecting information about the glass making process and the glass art history last week.Here are some of the essentials.

(to be continued)

1. Glass making history

2. Glass production process

3. Glass vase making

4. Important Glass artists and masterpieces.

用中文写这样的废话贴--生活在继续

1.继续花痴Paolo and Adele...每天都沉浸在他们的声音里面。

2.继续减肥,因为我想一直穿平跟鞋。tote girl的我包中必备平跟鞋。冬天是tory burch ballerina, 夏天是chanel thong. 多么想时时都穿这样舒服的鞋子,可是不够瘦阿。。苦恼,立志。

3.Fashion wise, 继续发烧marni的鞋子。我想我是疯了。

改良:

4.运动方面,越来越喜欢晚上去游泳,这个是全新的事情。想小时候上游泳班,我永远是最后入水,最早爬上岸的小朋友,在水里也被教练用竹竿打最多。现在居然改了,让我游泳健将的老爸终于欣慰了。老爸一直不明白运动神经高度发达的他和我妈怎么生出的我,现在我那个蛰伏的运动神经终于复苏了。

5.购物症基本得到控制,挣钱真的不容易啊。

Paolo Nutini - fresh as sunshine

If there is any thing good about my long commute to the city, it is the chance I have got to know his songs.

He has released two albums and only two albums at age 24. Both of the albums have been certified as 4x platinum and made big success in the industry. However I didn't know him till I happened to catch the tune of "last request" at a gas station. Suddenly fell in love with the song..and later many songs from his two albums. Since then hearing his voice and songs has become a big pleasure.

Me-Me-and-Me living happily ever after

There are so many me living in me. one mean, one nice; one wild, one classy; one fragile, one as tough as iron. On the outside, you can see me in mood, high or low, crazy or calm, careless or picky, down-to-earth or la-di-da. Which is the real me, no one has ever known...just wish these me live together happily ever after.

A chunky heel and a careless tomboy

Shoes: Marni


Many details and a La-Di-Da
Shoes: Prada

La-Di-Da, nightcore version

L word, G word and Identity

I was watching the L word, in the episode 5 of season one. one guy called lisa identified himself as a lesbian man. This is quite interesting, a physical male, mental female who is physically/emotionally attracted to female. Such a big wow in my poor brain, but I fell in love with this new term. It is not just one word, it is a symbol of the whole outside now defined in a plural and relative way which in deed fascinates me.

发个花痴贴,花痴她有那么10几年了吧。

这两天翻过去的照片,看得出一个轨迹,我一直企图模仿她,甚至在她用龟订婚后,我和zt也用turtle定情^_^。虽然说东施效颦的时候占百分之两百,不像率1000%, 但是我的确是有这个心思的。

第一次注意到她是这套白色睡衣,在一本姑姑带给我的杂志里。记得那些杂志,曾经在她们过期了无数年的日子里,给了我美丽的幻想. 而她的这个白色睡衣,给了少年的我最初的性感的感觉,而这种性感的概念历久弥新,直到30岁的我仍然认为世界上最性感的衣服就是白色tank和短裤。


模仿她的头发,她的配饰,甚至想象走路的方式,虽然结果相差十万八千里,但是我总是有这个念想在心中吧。对于我,可以说她不是一个fashion icon,而是一个光源,太遥远,可是总是吸引着,她爱印花,爱那一点点偏微的艳色,爱方方的园园的墨镜,爱深色牛仔裤子,轻盈的雪纺和优雅的毛呢。大步走路,肩膀永远挺拔,一个明亮骄傲的存在。
