The morning after - in bits and pieces...

And I had a dream..
almost like the cartoon at right :-)!  Just a dream alas!

Maybe it is the weather?
The reports about the huge flooding this time right here at home, so to speak,  in the Midwest!

 Arcimboldo: The Water

The reports about those tornado related deaths and hard to imagine damages?
The fires which turns to ashes homes and churches, farmland and forests?

Arcimboldo: The Fire

AND THE wedding is over.

In case you wondered I did NOT get up at 3 AM to witness..there's enough on the news, the papers, the internet.  Although I must admit some of those hats did catch me unawares - the less said the better!

  Well, was it inspired by a certain cover?...

On the opera front, I hear/read

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/arts/music/winnie-the-opera-on-home-turf-and-ready-for-her-close-up/article1995933/

that Winnie Mandela has become an Opera - beatifying her!

This product of Canadians, premiered in South Africa to, if we can believe the write-ups, standing ovations!

And here is another take on it!

You know something?

I do like to be entertained and distracted when attending a performance!

Not hit over the head with a sledgehammer.

Life does that too many times already!

Just read the news worldwide, natural disasters, man made disasters, political disasters, fashion disasters (lol). You name it!

 Sledgehammer days seem here to stay!

For a place in the spotlight....

people will go to extremes and so there you have:
Bra fashions from almost chaste (although raising eyebrows THEN)

Tina Turner

To Engineered (?)

Cher                                               Early Madonna

back to nature (albeit with some visible help ;-)

and finally to  'The firework bra' 

and "The defender bra" complete with machine guns. I did not post the Video ALEJANDRO where Lady Gaga (how appropriately named) sports this .... personal weapon! Readers, if THAT curious, can go and find it on YouTube for themselves. Let me just say I think she tries (?) to spoof Madonna as in "Don't cry for me Argentina" but with questionable taste and sentiments.
A sign of the times..no need for concealed weapons :-)!

Even the arts follow suit as in this piece or maybe it is meant to reveal the "INNER WOMAN" ..lol.

 

And what about length in hair some people go to ..for their second of stardom?

Veritable gardens on hats sported here at the races...nothing like the ingenuity of American race goers!

Well, this post has nothing to do with hockey and very little with arts, just a thing that bugs me-the depths of sillyness to out do anyone else.. an extreme 'matching the Joneses' perhaps.

It  does makes me wonder if  extreme and/or funny hats are seen at hockey games, too?

Anyone out there with some snapshots? Feel free to contact us and submit any amusing pictures for the enjoyment of all.
