Romantic Postcard
Here I love you.
In the dark pines the wind disentangles itself.
The moon glows like phosphorous on the vagrant waters.
Days, all one kind, go chasing each other.
The snow unfurls in dancing figures.
A silver gull slips down from the west.
Sometimes a sail. High, high stars.
Pablo Neruda
Aquí te amo.
En los oscuros pinos se desenreda el viento.
Fosforece la luna sobre las aguas errantes.
Andan días iguales persiguiéndose.
Se desciñe la niebla en danzantes figuras.
Una gaviota de plata se descuelga del ocaso.
A veces una vela. Altas, altas estrellas.
Pablo Neruda

Weekend Poll: What time do you belong to?
I was reading an article that speaks about Ditta Von Tyssen and I know the pinup style doesn’t fit me well. I mostly prefer the 20s , its fashion and the flapper era. But at times, I can also feel that I would why not could be living in the 1900s, those times filled with art, culture, expeditions and marvelous perfume creations.
So, I was thinking why not write about this as a poll? This is a great way to know your likes, what times you really love most and perhaps seeing these images those who wonder will finally get an idea of what times they really feel to fit in.
So here are some images, randomly selected. Just choose one (or two) that will let us know what times, what old and not so old times you really love.
I made a selection starting with the 1900s. I could go further back but perhaps this will be posted on another article, only to show a certain time, let’s say the Victorian and Edwardian era.
So, here are the pictures. Chose the one or two photos that make you feel good as if you were precisely in the photo.
Let’s start with 1800s
1900
1910s
1920s
1930s
(btw, she reminds me of Madonna)
1940s
1950s
1960s
1970s
1980s
Make your choice!

THE KINDERGARTEN OF ETIQUETTE
In using the spoon, he holds it in his right hand like the fork. In eating cereal or dessert, he may be allowed to dip the bowl of the spoon toward him and eat from the end, but in eating soup he must dip his spoon away from him—turning the outer rim of the bowl down as he does so—fill the bowl not more than three-quarters full and sip it, without noise, out of the side (not the end) of the bowl. The reason why the bowl must not be filled full is because it is impossible to lift a brimming spoonful of liquid to his mouth without spilling some, or in the case of porridge without filling his mouth too full. While still very young he may be taught never to leave the spoon in a cup while drinking out of it, but after stirring the cocoa, or whatever it is, to lay the spoon in the saucer.
A very ugly table habit, which seems to be an impulse among all children, is to pile a great quantity of food on a fork and then lick or bite it off piecemeal. This must on no account be permitted. It is perfectly correct, however, to sip a little at a time, of hot liquid from a spoon. In taking any liquid either from a spoon or drinking vessel, no noise must ever be made.
"In Eating Soup The Child Must Dip His Spoon Away From Him—turning The Outer Rim Of The Spoon Down As He Does So...."
"In Being Taught To Use Knife And Fork Together, The Child Should At First Cut Only Something Very Easy, Such As A Slice Of Chicken...."
"Having Cut Off A Mouthful, He Thrusts The Fork Through It, With Prongs Pointed Downward And Conveys It To His Mouth With His Left Hand. He Must Learn To Cut Off And Eat One Mouthful At A Time.
"When No Knife Is Being Used, The Fork Is Held In The Right Hand, Whether Used 'Prongs Down' To Impale The Meat, Or 'Prongs Up' To Lift Vegetables."
"Bread Should Always Be Broken Into Small Pieces With The Fingers Before Being Buttered."
"When He Has Finished Eating, The Child Should Lay His Knife And Fork Close Together, Side By Side, With Handles Toward The Right Side Of His Plate...."

WWW Stendhal Syndrome
It is great to have connections over internet regarding all sorts of things and subjects we like/enjoy. But after sometime I have discovered that some places are perhaps less appealing to me and frankly I could not say why exactly. So today I received a comment that I should approve on one of my pages inviting me to be a member of a group at yahoo dedicated to Clara Bow…. Clara Bow is one of the silent actress I have seen less movies about. I like her allure, her pose and I know there is a serious association dedicated to this actress. I remember only Pandora’s Box featuring CB. I have read a lot about her about three years ago. I do not have time to do all the things I like. I would become nuts. And this is what Internet can give us, a magical extremely vast array of places where one can get immersed for hours without realizing. Then, feel tired and still wanting to see more. The Stendhal Syndrome right in front of your computer.
