Who run the world? GIRLz!

Just finished watching the "Tudors". Not only was it a feast for the eyes, although I'm glad the times of unending layers and stuffing corsets are over - Man Repeller may argue:) , indicating a clear message of the person's occupation and a social status brilliantly designed by JOAN BERGIN, but also a great educating tool. Back then women were merely as important as men, however in a less obvious more sneaky, manipulating way , using their bodies to fulfill their desires and convince men to do as they wished. If only , it was that easy. JK. Not a whole lot of changed since then in personal relationships. That's not really the point.
We've had some great woman leaders in the history of the world which I always salute to. Staring with Henry the VIII daughter - Queen Elisabeth I, (mother Ann Boleyn - beheaded - loving the king back then had its negatives like being shortened at the neck), Nefertiti, Cleopatra , Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher to name few - I ADMIRE WOMAN! Especially my own bread like my Grandma- Jadwiga, My Mother- Bozena and My Aunt- Alicja all of whom over the years continue to influence me in the best possible way. Woman in my family are amazing and it just happens that both my parents (32 anniversary) and my aunt and uncle(20 anniversary) are celebrating their wedding anniversaries, proving that you can maintain a happy relationship while staying true to yourself. I say more, because of their perseverance not only the relationship grew stronger, but as a woman they continue to evolve. Cheers to running your worlds!

Since it is also on my "to do" list to run THE WORLD, military pants seemed appropriate for the occasion after all I'm the Queen in my household.

Black and white

Can you  imagine living in a black and white world? I think if we did, we would open our minds and hearts to less judgment. Color allows for more expression but also open the doors to criticism. Fashion - what would happen to the industry which relies so heavily on the hues? 
Imagine living in black and white and suddenly being transshiped into a world of color. Just think about it now. Wow, right? That is all we see every day, without appreciation. We are drenched in color and yet we don't notice it. Take a minute to be grateful for all the beauty in the world, in the people and nature.
Have a great weekend.
