Photos of Sophia Loren that I DON'T Like

Believe it or not, there are actually photos of Sophia Loren that I do not care for.  It is not because I don't think Miss Loren is beautiful in them, but instead because I think that Sophia is much better than what the picture is.  Take for instance the above photo.  Few, if any, would disagree that Sophia Loren is strikingly beautiful.  The woman simply possesses unforgetable beauty.  Sophia would look sexy as all heck wearing a burlap sack.  Sophia does not need to resort to photos like this in order to draw attention to herself and the fact that she has a gorgeous figure.  Sophia Loren is obviously very comfortable in her own skin and sexuality and that is a good thing.  I just feel that certain types of photos gives off a different kind of message.  Sophia Loren's beauty is classic so I simply see these types of photos as dishonoring the woman that she truly is.  If you are a man you probably disagree with me though (for obvious reasons)...heehee

One has to give Miss Loren a hand for having such a beautiful figure.

Those were the days when actresses had bodies like the women they were.  Marilyn Monroe and many other actresses from back in the day were voluptuous and curvy, even if they were slim.  Now a days actresses are so skinny without a feminine figure.        

Here is a lovely photo of Miss Loren not showing any boobs but still tastefully beautiful and sexy. 



Here is Miss Loren again looking gorgeous and sexy without being suggestive.  The dress has a classic design which accentuates her womanly curves. 

 I dare you to say that Sophia is not sexy and beautiful in this photo. 

A beautiful classic look.  Some of you are rolling yours eyes at me aren't you? 

Classic Sophia; still sexy without being suggestive.  The sexpot image has not done anything for women in general.  If anything it has harmed us. 

 You could not pay me to walk out of my house like this.

Or this.....

This I would wear because it is more tasteful

...and so is this.

Monet's House & Gardens - A Romantic Place

(via)

While my beloved Prince Charming is searching for me I don't see any reason why I shouldn't search out honeymoon spots for us to head to after our wedding.   It is all part of saying YES to Life every day and manifesting your dreams.  Anyway, a co-worker recently spent his vacation in London and Paris.  He loved the trip to Monet's gardens and I started thinking to myself that it would be so lovely for me and my beloved to visit Monet's house and gardens together during our honeymoon.  Originally I wanted to spend my honeymoon in Quebec Canada, but now I am looking across the ocean and it is all thanks to Doug, my co-worker.  Thank you Douglas!

Isn't this so romantic?  I am visioning me and my beloved walking all throughout Monet's gardens holding hands and then sitting down on this bench to finish taking iy all in together.

The house itself looks so romantic.  It was an old derelict farmhouse that Monet purchased inexpensively.  I love buying old abandoned homes and nurturing them back to beauty.  Monet's house is located in Normandy in the village of Giverny.  Monet lived in it with his second wife Alice and her six children.  Six children????????  Monet must have really loved Alice.

More of Monet's gardens and home.

Monet also purchased quite a bit of land adjacent to the farmhouse.  Monet transformed the land into magnificent gardens that inspired many of his paintings.  Monet truly appreciated the vivid colors of plants and flowers.  It would be so romantic to live in a house and surroundings like this with my beloved.

Can you imagine looking out of every window of your home onto search beautiful gardens?  I certainly can.  

How about enjoying lunch or dinner in the front of your house in a setting like this?  I am already there in my mind.

There is such awesome beauty in this world.  Monet's gardens is used by couples to take pictures in on their wedding day.  

This is such a serene spot.  I wonder if me and my beloved decided to go into the bushes with a blanket to make love if we would get arrested.  Of course we would have to get caught first.  Maybe we should just wait until we get back to our honeymoon suite.

As you can see Monet created such beautiful gardens and saw much beauty in the world.  I wonder if he was romantic.

These images brings tears to my eyes.  They are so beautiful.

This is Monet's bedroom. Monet's wife Alice had her own bedroom.  I am not having any of that for me and my beloved and I know he wouldn't either.  I would love for us to wake up every morning in a room this spacious with big windows to enjoy the view.  We are getting a king sized bed.

 A great big thank you to you Claude Monet.  You have made a lot of couples very happy.

The entire village of Giverny looks so pretty.  It seems to be one of many perfect honeymoon locations.

Solange Knowles Natural Hair

I guess that everyone knows by now that about a week ago Solange Knowles tweeted that she does not want to talk about her hair anymore.  Solange was not in the best of moods when she sent out that message.,  What do I think of it?  I do not blame Solange one bit.  Put yourself in her shoes.  How many times can answer questions about your hair before it will start to annoy you?  

It is only hair.  Solange used to chemically relax her hair to make it straight.  She no longer does that and now wears her natural Afro textured hair with pride.  Why is that treated like a phenomenon?   Solange has been natural for a few years now but people are still bringing it up as if it is some big deal.  It is about time for the public to leave this young lady and her natural Afro textured hair alone.  

Solange is not the first black woman to go natural and she will not be the last.  The second natural hair movement has been growing fast all across America.  I am personally very happy to witness it. 

       Solange when she was still chemically relaxing her hair.  She does look beautiful.

 Solange on the right not too long after she did a big hair chop.  On the left is Solange some years later. 

 Medium length natural hair.

Solange wearing her hair wild and free.  I love it.

I think that Solange Knowles looks great no matter what.  To me though she looks most beautiful with her natural mane.  Her hair looks super healthy also in it natural state.
