Chinese Dreams

Surreal visions filled with sensuality and an abundance of beauty. Just look at those headpieces..., amazing! This is the work of the Chinese artist Liu Zheng.





I found these pictures via Marieaunet.

Olé!!!!

Ruven Afanador's beautiful homage to the Gitanas of Spain and Flamenco.
Aren't these ladies just simply fantastic?!! Divine drama, beauty and ugliness, comedy and tragedy, light and shadow, and a lot of humor... ooh I love it!
It's from his book "Mil Besos" and yes, this deserves 1000 kisses.

Ruff Love

Ruffs and plaits, tucked and crinkled black beauty. Dark phantasies, demonic beauty, fairytales on the catwalk. Highly talented Marko Mitanovski has got clients like Lady Gaga, Paloma Faith and Immodesty Blaze... are more words needed?!

Being In Love

kisses by Alfred Eisenstaedt.

you being in love

you being in love
will tell who softly asks in love,

am i separated from your body smile brain hands merely
to become the jumping puppets of a dream? oh i mean:
entirely having in my careful how
careful arms created this at length
inexcusable, this inexplicable pleasure-you go from several
persons: believe me that strangers arrive
when i have kissed you into a memory
slowly, oh seriously
-that since and if you disappear

solemnly
myselves
ask "life, the question how do i drink dream smile

and how do i prefer this face to another and
why do i weep eat sleep-what does the whole intend"
they wonder. oh and they cry "to be, being, that i am alive
this absurd fraction in its lowest terms
with everything cancelled
but shadows
-what does it all come down to? love? Love
if you like and i like,for the reason that i
hate people and lean out of this window is love,love
and the reason that i laugh and breathe is oh love and the reason
that i do not fall into this street is love."
