Britain´s finest

.....as days get longer and warmer what´s the best thing to acompany  fruity summer cocktails and burnt barbecue goods to keep up the campfire athmosphere...........right good acoustic music, i am in love with Burberry Acoustic, which was introduced last year during  Burberry´s S/S menswear show

.........handpicked British artists play acoustic sessions in, for them familiar places all over london

thumbs up for Christopher Bailey´s music taste.....

Easter Rabbit, Easter Rabbit......

.... recently i was told  that i am too old for an easter egg hunt, first i was really sad that there won´t be the annual chocolate mess but i have found something way more figure friendly and desirable than an ordinary chocolate egg, the Fabergé Egg

Lillies of the Valley Egg

The Mosaic Egg

The Pelican Egg

The Madonna Lilly Clock Egg

The Order of Saint George Egg

The Basket of Wild Flowers Egg

The Gatchina Palace Egg

 

The Clover Leaf Egg

 

The Rose Trellis Egg

The Alexander Palace Egg

The Bay Tree Egg

 

The Napoleonic Egg

 

The Grisaille Egg

  

The  Peter the Great Egg

 

The Coronation Egg,...

 known from the Ocean´s Twelve movie

....those jeweled eggs, forerunners of our suprise eggs, were produced by the House of Fabergé on order of Tsar Alexander III for his beloved Tsarina Maria Fyodorovna, after his death his son Tsar Nicholas II continued to give eggs to his mother and his wife until he was assassinated,....

anyway  42 of the 50 eggs survived the riots in Russia and rest in museeums all over the world, so if you find a preciouse looking egg in your granny´s living room it´s maybe one of the missing eggs

......so enough about eggs!!!!

go glitz.......

..... watching  TODDLERS & TIARAS on the one hand totally makes me wanna go back in time to take part in a glitz pageant myself and expirience all this form a child´s perspective and on the other hand go and call the youth welfare office....
i mean seriously do those mums realize what they are doing to their mini me´s......

.... Susan Anderson a LA-based  commercial, editorial and fine-art photographer  has dared to enter the world of  fake tan, flippers, extentions and hairspray at some of America´s child beauty pageants, resulting in a documentary portrait series.....
 HIGH GLITZ, the extravagant world of child beauty pageants
....... setting up her studio admist the colorful spectacle, she captures the young girls at the heigt of their performance, hours of preperation are spent on each child´s apperance, and g´her camera records it all in graphic detail.....

...tough you easily get lost in this surreal world of glitz and glamour always keep in mind that not  everything that glitters is gold.....

........no offence but i would be scared to death if i would meet a full glitz girl by night, caus they remind me on chucky´s bride......
