Parnassus said...: Great Deco buildings. I never consciously thought about black and gold as architectural colors, but it works great for these structures. Maybe the American Radiator overdoes it just a bit?

Rose ~Victorian Rose ~ said...: Once again, I have to say I am re-impressed with this Black and Gold Bldg. and it exterior and interior.

Makes for a wonderful Kaleidoscope "base" too.
Thank you for stopping by again.

Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in, forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day, you shall begin it well and serenely...

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children... to leave the world a better place... to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. THIS is to have succeeded . Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

Your job won't take care of you when you are sick; your friends and parents will: stay in touch.

You don't have to win every argument; agree to disagree.

Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

Don't compare your life to others; you have no idea what their journey is all about.

Over prepare, and then go with the flow.

Be eccentric now, don't wait for old age to wear purple.

Frame every so-called disaster with these words: "In five years, will this matter?"

What other people think of you is none of your business.

Your children only get one childhood.

If we threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.

Regina Brett, journalist for the Cleveland Plain Dealer

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are almost dead?

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'lisp'?

If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?

Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?

How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?

How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?

WHAT: Pure Illumination Lip Gloss. They always have the fun stuff that 'you don't need' by the check-out counter at the pharmacy, and when I saw a display with all these pretty lip glosses, I thought I'd test it out. Ok, there is kind of a gimmick here. The tube has a mirror along one side, and when you unscrew the wand, there is a button on the top that lights up the applicator and cap with a bright LED light - so you can apply even in the dark and have a mirror with you! But that's not what sold me- it's the gloss itself. It label calls it a "Natural Hydrating Lip Therapy", and with 100% Lanolin it is thick and does feel healing. I purchased two colours: 'Carribean Coral' which is a shimmery bronze, and 'Oopsy Daisy' which is a soft pink'. They both look good on me, but I like them best layered.

WHAT: Frederic Fekkai Luscious Curls Shampoo + Conditioner. I get my hair coloured (shhhh... don't tell anyone it's not natural. ha) at the Fekkai Salon, and my awesome colorist Errin tried their new 'Luscious Curls' products on my hair last time. First, I have to say this. Fekkai has the BEST SMELLING PRODUCTS OUT THERE. HANDS DOWN. This shampoo + conditioner is great to use for anyone with dry or processed hair, don't let the 'curls' title lead you to think it's only for enhancing curly hair. It smells like oranges.... yummy.

WHAT: Proraso Sapone de Barba. I ordered this on Amazon, like I do a lot of things, based soly on the ratings of previous users. I love to browse Amazon and refine my search by highest ratings (and read all the feedback) to find new products to try. Since I wear an Italian men's cologne, I thought I'd give this Italian men's shaving cream a try too. I am glad I did. First, one tube lasts a long time. But what I like best about it is that it has Eucalyptus Oil + Menthol which REALLY gives your skin a tingling feeling. And after your shave, your skin truly feels squeaky clean, like traditional soap leaves.
