Just because I like it

  Eras of Yves Klein The Era of the Deciding That Line Is Jealous Of Colour Line Is A Tourist In Space The Era of the Blue Obsession The Era of Making a Myth of Oneself The Era of Patenting International Klein Blue (henceforth IKB) The Era of the End of Gravity and Beginning of Levitation The Era of One-Minute Fire Paintings  Anne Carson   The Klein blue is a vibrant and charismatic color with an interesting history behind it and also , a bit difficult to wear. Although I am tempted sometimes to arrange some monochromatic outfit (a bit Yves Klein stuff) I rather balance it with some other neutral colors. Like a vintage gray coat and a wool Mexican rebozo .     El azul Klein es un hermoso color con una interesante historia detrás, aunque un poco difícil de combinar. Si bien de pronto se me antoja usar un atuendo totalmente monocromático (un poco Yves Klein) en general se equilibra otro color neutral. Como esta chaqueta vintage ...

  In the brown water,   Thick and silver-sheened in the sunshine, Liquid and cool in the shade, A pike dozed. Lost among the shadows of stems a green-and-copper brightness Ran under the water. Out from under the reeds Came the olive-green light, So the fish passed across the pool, Green and copper, A darkness and a gleam, And the blurred reflections of the willows on the opposite bank Received it.

The line must terminate. Yet my heart rises,  I know I've gladdened a lifetime knotting, undoing a fishnet of tarred rope... Robert Lowell (1917-1977) Fishnet stocking makes you instantly l ook chic and put together. Think of fishnets, and you think of Jane Mansfield, Ava Gardner or Brigitte Bardot.

  As I stared helplessly at the reflection of my own face in the large curved bowl  at the end of a spoon,  summer vacation  drew fully to an end. The chorus of cicadas vibrating the screen door suddenly picks up in intensity — as if to transport me back to the entrance to summer. Kiji Kutani Sun is almost gone. Long days and secluded nights of this strange lonely summer are over. I go out for a walk in an empty city, taking advantage of the last warm days. Blue sky on my back, high-heeled sandals, and coloured bracelets. The best is yet to come. Azure Blue (Pantone PQ-17-4139TCX) A variation of blue that is often described as the colour of the sky on a clear day. Azure is depicted as a pale cyan or white cyan. In an artistic context this colour would be called azure mist.     Fin de fiesta. Se terminan una vez más los largos días y las felices noches de éste verano tan extraño. Salir a caminar aprovechando los ultimos días buen...

In these rooms where I live out our days, I wander round and round trying to find the windows. It will be a relief when a window opens. But the windows aren't there to be found - or at least I can't find them. And perhaps it's better if I don't find them. Perhaps the light will prove another tyranny. Who knows what new things it will expose? The windows Constatino Cavafy ( 1863 – 1933 )     G orgeous afternoon, blue sky: we used to give these little pleasures for granted; t aking a relaxed moment by the balcony before a night date. The new normal. Flame cocktail dress, black heeled sandals and silk shawl, my favourite  rebozo; beautiful mexican b lack and white handmade piece and a vintage embroided clutch.     Ahora que vemos el mundo tras la ventana y pasamos horas en el balcón, pareciera que apreciamos más las pequeñas cosas; un cielo más que azul y una tarde espléndida. Me tomo entonces un momento para respirar, antes de salir ...
