Practice Art

The arts are not a way to make a living. 

They are a very human way 

of making life more bearable. 

Practicing an art, 

no matter how well or badly, 

is a way to make your soul grow, 

for heaven's sake. 

Sing in the shower. 

 Dance to the radio. 

Tell stories. 

Write a poem to a friend, 

even a lousy poem. 

Do it as well as you possible can. 

You will get an enormous reward. 

You will have created something.” 

-Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country

For those of you
with extra cold temps .....
my gloves are on, too!

I'm Different!

“Be different

so that people can

see you clearly

amongst the crowds.”

--Mehmet Murat ildan













“Life's no piece of cake,

mind you, but the recipe's

my own to fool with.”

― Haruki Murakami
















“So you're a little weird?

Work it!

A little different?

OWN it!

Better to be a nerd

than one of the herd!”

― Mandy Hale

Be Different

In order to be irreplaceable,

one must always be different.  

-Coco Chanel

“Don't dare to be different, 

dare to be yourself - 

if that doesn't make you different 

then something is wrong.”

― Laura Baker

Be daring, be different,

be impractical,

be anything that will assert

integrity of purpose and imaginative vision

against the play-it-safers,

the creatures of the commonplace,

the slaves of the ordinary.

--Cecil Beaton

Finest Pleasures

“The finest of pleasures 

are always 

the unexpected ones.”
 

― Erin Morgenstern, 

The Night Circus

Thought it might be fun

to be a little different....

yes, I know, these

aren't 'nudes'

but I can honestly say

I was naked underneath

my clothes!

*giggles*










it almost looks like

the circus came to town!

I should have had a

Top Hat to complete

the picture!

Caliente!

 ¿Cuál fue el punto 
de raso y encaje si no  
hacer una lucha del 
hombre para hablar

"What was the point 

in satin and lace 

if it didn't make a man 

struggle to speak?"

~ Alexandra Ivy









Usually, its young girls who play dress-up,
but every now and then,
its fun and sexy,
to slip into something a little risque,
to feel the satin against your skin,
the silkiness of the stockings on your legs.
It can change the entire attitude of a woman
in a few short minutes.
Especially if there's a man
to admire,
savor,
treasure,
enjoy it.

Stockings

There is something

incredibly

arousing

about a 

woman

in stockings 

and heels.

What is it

about a woman in stockings

that turns men on so much?

Maybe it's just that women

don't wear them often enough.

"If you need to 

indulge 

the glamor girl 

in your soul, 

wear a pair of 

sexy opera gloves"

“The age of a woman
doesn't mean a thing.
The best tunes are played
on the oldest fiddles.”
  ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

I don't usually do a lot of edits

to my photos,

but I took liberties with

this black and white set

to make them look aged.

I hope you enjoyed them! ~Gal

Red Gloves

This evening, I started out making some pictures

for the blog;

what started off as a fun kind of evening

didn't quite turn out that way...

So, dear fans and readers,

just two pictures for this evening

and a couple words of wisdom:

Someday is not a day of the week.(author unknown)

and

Go for it now.  The future is promised to no one.  ~Wayne Dyer
