MUSIC MADNESS ....... and more

Hi everyone, hope your weekend was a pleasant one and all the Moms were treated royally.

MUSIC LOVERS

Well for the weekend I ,we were totally immersed in watching the Eurovision song contest. For those who don't know about it or maybe only heard something about it. Well let me tell you it is a very BIG event in Europe. Just to give you an idea, Celine Dion sang at the contest and i do believe she won. And of course ABBA made it big from it.

So basically all of Europe is part of it, as is Australia as a guest . I was lucky enough to actually see the contest live here a WÖW moment. For anyone who loves music and live performances it is
the best show in town. This year it was held in beautiful Portugal.

25 performances, and voting done by public and a jury. IT lasts hours, so a die hard fan will be watching it till the early hours. Even here some restaurants and theatres were holding song contest parties. ITs almost as crazy as the soccer events.

Some of my favourites from the event... the songs and singers

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. JUST BLENDING IN CHECKERBOARD ANYONE? find out more about her work here Thandiwe via BBC images via Thandiwe Murui

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
