stunning earrings

the above all come from UK’s Telegraph

one more view of how perfect this make up looks

this last photo is from Oscar’s official site

My general impression was that no one wowed me:( The above three wowed me in the details I mentioned, whereas I prefer the overall effect to be breathtaking, rather than just admiring an element of the whole. I thought Hollywood stars had the power of almost always triumphing in the overall effect; the one when you are so impressed you don’t know where to settle your sight, you admire all over and every time you rescan the photo you discover something new and slowly, only bit by bit, the details come to focus and you can verbalise what it was that made you love their look.

I’m no critic, just a fan with a right to be overwhelmed or disappointed and I sadly confirm, these Oscars no one gave me the above described impression. I did like very much the face and coif of Kate Winslet. When I’d look at just her head I would have precisely that effect of being so under the impression of perfection that I’d not know for a long while what exactly it was that impressed me so much.

The dress of Marisa Tomei is just occasion perfect, plus shows little or no signs of belonging to an era and there’s just something about timeless looking pieces.

Heidi Klum’s earrings perhaps would never be an item of jewellery I would pick out to wear, both for style (a little too long for me) and practicality (seem way too heavy to be comfortable), but they have my favourite earring motive – floral, plus my favourite earring shape  – large but neither round or loose hanging, close to the face and motionless. Although, with the earring I could put my finger on what I liked straight away, without having to rescan in admiration, they still fit into the category of stunning and perfect in their own overallness.

Lastly, I wish I could say more about my icon Sarah Jessica Parker, but I have 4 comments which are rather weak. She might have worn a Dior gown and it might have even fitted her perfectly, but I did not experience the usual awe effect I do when I see her all made up. Secondly there was an unbelievable resemblance to Madonna, who is another lady I am usually so fond of in terms of style and fashion, yet the resemblance did not make me admire the overall effect as if it were two perfections (SJP and Madonna) combined into one. Strange. Furthermore, I very much liked the fact that she had her natural hair colour (even if it was dyed to look natural) as a while ago I have also cut of all my blond (whether salon or sun lightened) and subconsciously I feel a bond and liking with all women whom I suspect are sporting their natural dark blond. Nevertheless I did not find myself overwhelmed with the effect this natural hair colour was giving SJP. Why? Lastly, I’m uncertain as to how much my stance on the topic is final, but I’ll just say it anyway. I’m not sure how much I disliked what the corset of the gown did to her chest. I’m pretty sure she has not had breast augmentation yet this is what the tight bodice made her breast to look like; not in the sense of larger, but in the sense of lacking natural bubbliness, they looked stiff and unnaturally round and hard. I think I’ve gone too far in criticizing a lady I really admire so much, so I will rest here, perhaps by adding that regardless of these observations I still think she is amazing:)

SJP did not make it to my stunning nominees

After one of my inspiration bloggers harel, I am posting a video I’m sure all women will enjoy:)

I could not stop staring at SJP in this video. The singing girl looks so much like her now and so much not….talk about a transformation, about blooming, about the ugly duckling story.
So puzzled by the change I started looking on the internet for pictures of young SJP. I never paid attention to whether stars had plastic surgery or not and had no idea what was the case with the SATC icon. I stumbled upon a very interesting blog, which I recommend to anyone considering plastic surgery or even botox, as it shows plenty of celebrities with incredible close up shots. Shots that show pores! Amazing, and I thought I was the only one cursed with them;) The page discourages the procedures, just to be clear;)

Sarah Jessica Parker 15.05.2008 in Berlin

I landed on the site through google images and was planning to only borrow the image of SJP now and before, which easily prove she had nothing ‘done’, yet as the pictures were within an article I started reading….I spent some time on the site:) The article makes it even clearer that Sarah Jessica Parker bloomed into the inspirational beauty she is now naturally.

Sarah Jessica Parker in London 12.05.2008

I’m sharing with you the pictures I found because a) she’s gorgeous on them b) they look completely unedited c) you can see pores, lines, wrinkles and even excess moisture and she still looks great! Plus it’s easier this way to compare the Broadway girl from the video, although its still not easy to believe it:)

Regardless of whether you’re planning a baby or not, there’s a fun game you can play on the VW website if you’re curious how your baby would look:) I don’t really want to comment on the wittiness of the new Routan campaign. To a certain extent I find the satire and the punchline (have babies for love not for German engineering) amusing; plus I Iike Brooke Shields;

[our Routan Baby emailed to us by the VW/nasz dzidziuś efekt gry]

and on the other hand, the sarcastic lines which are supposed to be making fun of incentives to buy a car, sound only half funny, and feel a bit like the authors run out of ideas.

Ad creativity aside, the BabyMaker game is fun! We tried it:) Had to make 4 babies until we came up with a result we were pleased with;)

I found out about the game thanks to a blogger friend to whom I want to give credit:) and include her in my blogroll:)

Bez względu na to czy planujecie obecnie dziecko czy nie, na stronie VW jest gra, którą polecam, jeśli jesteś choć trochę ciekawy jak może wyglądać twoje dziecko. Nie chcę wdawać się w dyskusję na temat błyskotliwości kampanii reklamowej Routana. W pewnym sensie satyra o amerykańskim wyżyu demograficznycm i hasło (róbcie dzieci z miłości nie dla niemieckiej inżynierii/technologii) jest zabawne; poza tym lubię Brooke Shields; z drugiej strony sposób w jaki VW kpi sam ze swojej reklamy podając motywy jakie skłaniają ludzi do kupna samochodu jest tylko trochę śmieszne i brzmi bardziej jakby zabrakło im pomysłu na kampanię.

Nie wnikając w trafność i kreatywność reklamy, do zabawy zachęcam! Nas wciągnęła. Co prawda musieliśmy zrobić aż 4 dzieci zanim się nam któreś spodobało;)

Tu reklama osądźcie sami/Here’s the ad judge yourself:

O grze dowiedziałam się z bloga koleżanki bloggerki – Dzieki Nina! Włączam Twój blog do mojego blogroll:)
