ENJOYING the WEEKEND// lifestyle, event

THE PLACE for MUSIC

When one thinks of Austria, we probably think of the Alps, Waltzes, music composers such as Mozart, Beethoven  and  actors like Arnie or Christopher Waltz.   Yes , Austria is well known for many things, famous composers were really the stars of that time.   Music is always  something
people enjoy and listen to.

Well that last week was a week to enjoy music-  the Eurovision Song contest. I am in love with this event. I was really lucky to see it live here when Austria won. I can tell you it is AMAZING!
So many talented musical people, and hearing them perform is worth seeing.  This year the event was
held in Tel Aviv  - such a beautiful city. That is one reason i like to watch the contest, it takes you on
a tour of the places.


Last night was the final and it was not easy to pick a winner, but Netherlands song was the winner.
A ballad sung by Duncan Laurence. Well really there were so many great songs, I had my favourites.
Some were interesting or extreme, like Icelands a metal rock...  or Australia's . Even Madonna made an appearance. The highlight for me were a group of singers that are disabled, but they were really  amazing . They were winners for me!



You can see more on  youtube,  Eurosong contest 2019.

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians  or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises  such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is  a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way  Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person    This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news  etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of?  Okay  maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars  gorgeous , flawless and h

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

 SOMETHING DIFFERENT  I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui ,  I was in AWE.   Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The  prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching. ( I happen to have a checkerboard top  that I wear as a coverup)  This might not be for everyones taste, but sometimes it is fun to be a bit wilder! THE SWIRLS  love this print and the colour combination . Vibrant and fun! A MOD- FLORAL this print that looks like a Sunflower is perfect for  summer.
