LIFE as I know it

Finally had some time to spare to do what I do best - to do what I love - FASHION :]

Recently, the Russian administration made a new law to ban gay activities around St. Petersburg which in my opinion set a new meaning to “homophobia”.

Madonna Answers St Petersburg’s Controversy:

I’m a freedom fighter.
My show
My songs
My work
My art
Is all about freedom of expression
Freedom to choose to speak to act
Always with humanity and compassion
I will come to St. Petersburg to speak up for the gay community, to support the gay community and to give strength and inspiration to anyone who is or feels opressed. 
I don’t run away from adversity.
I will speak during my show about this ridiculous atrocity.

THIS woman is EPIC

THIS woman is LEGENDARY

THIS woman is MADONNA.

Life can seem ungrateful and not always kind.
Life can pull at your heartstrings and play with your mind…
Life can be blissful and happy and free…
Life can put beauty in the things that you see…
Life can place challenges right at your feet…
Life can make good of the hardships we meet…
Life can overwhelm you and make your head spin…
Life can reward those determined to win…
Life can be hurtful and not always fair…
Life can surround you with people who care…
Life clearly does offer its Up and its Downs…
Life’s days can bring you both smiles and frowns…
Life teaches us to take the good with the bad…
Life is a mixture of happy and sad…

So…

Take the Life that you have and give it your best…
Think positive, be happy let God do the rest…
Take the challenges that life has laid at your feet…
Take pride and be thankful for each one you meet…
To yourself give forgiveness if you stumble and fall…
Take each day that is dealt you and give it your all…
Take the love that you’re given and return it with care…
Have faith that when needed it will always be there…
Take time to find the beauty in the things that you see…
Take life’s simple pleasures let them set your heart free…
The idea here is simply to even the score…
As you are met and faced with Life’s Tug of War

Everything about this music video is just perfect :]

we work so hard to cover, adorn and complicate, but what speaks to us is the thing that stands alone, honest and exposed.
