Bold, bright, beautiful

Women must tell men always, that they are the strong ones, They are the bog, the strong, the wonderful. In truth, women are the strong ones. It's just my opinion, i'm not a professor.

A recent fashion portrait of my friend, gorgeous actress Sophie Sutton from NYC.For me, she's like the embodiment of what i love about New York - not only bold, bright and bbeautiful but also sophisticated, witty and - so much fun to be with!

Bold, bright and beautiful of course, does also apply to YOU my lovelies and i hope you'll find lots pf ways to sparkle this weekend!Anything planned yet?  I STILL don't have my usual internet access - can you believe that? But hope to find my ways to come visit you still

    Martina, this is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! You are again inspiring me with BOLD colors and simple but well-executed lines....how fabulous is your art! And you have given me an inspiring message to take to work today - BOLD, BRIGHT and BEAUTIFUL shall I be. Sometimes I get a bit nervous, presenting myself to the older students. But we must keep our inner boldness strong, our inner and outer beauty on the ready so we can be bright. THANK YOU!
