Black Mouth

From Sleepy Hollow, only pic I could get of it but I was reminded of the smudging on Miranda Richardson's mouth for Isobel? With pale lips it really stands out.

Crown for Isobel

Brock's Bench Supplier

Received a referral from Brock's Facilities Management Department -they gave me the name of their bench supplier as Landscapeforms.

Home Depot and Rona's assemble-yourself benches were a bit disappointing.

Landscapeform's website can be found here.

Their designs may be a bit too modern and clean looking -however they may be made to look more 'Torontonian' with a bit of work.

I've just met a girl named Maria, . . . .

. . .And suddenly that name Will never be the same To me.

Candelabra Significance

Catholic candelabras seem to hold symbolism in relation to the physical and spiritual manifestations of Christ.

Originally they are placed at the main altar during mass and at least 2 candles must be lit.

-The wax is the body of Christ (must be bee's traditionally)

-The wick is the soul of Christ

-The flame is the divinity of Christ

6 Candles seems to be the most common arrangement, however it isn't uncommon to find arrangements of 5, 7 or 9. The symbolic explanation to the numeration of the candles is still beyond me -difficult to find.

I will be looking into this further and posting an explanation once I do more research -as well as the nature behind the adjustable arms. I believe the arms when placed straight or angled downwards are used in mass to replicate a divine crucifix.

The Wise Faces of Portugal

Some images of elderly Portuguese woman -The one getting her face kissed was at one time (may still be?) the oldest woman in the world.

Dior Sheer

It was Dior Homme that produced a sheer line a couple years ago which can be found in the links below. These are mostly button-ups however they've also gone into making suit's an t-shirts in a sheer style. -Mostly black, but there are some whites and neutral tones as well. Would never wear them unless I was dancing with a large tattoo on my back.

Bar Women

Trying to find images of women in a bistro/bar setting. Was looking for people who were less glamorous, more casual or even dated? Most women were dressed to the nines with extremely processed hair, but I've found a couple of more average looking females. Some who I could believe just got off work.
