all dumb things I do

Yes, indeed. All DUMB things I do. I do A LOT of silly things. I'll give you some examples ...

The week before this week

I was cycling on one of these cozy ways in the countryside (= where I live) - I just had a serious conversation with my grandma, and that's what I was thinking about - when I thought: why don't I try to cycle with my eyes closed. So, that was exactly what I did, and - yes! - it went very well. Then I thought; oh, why not once more! And yes I did it again without falling or getting of track (for 3 seconds). Since it all worked out very well, I decided to push the limits and do it twice as long! I thought I was a natural at blind-cycling... But suddenly I felt a mogul. I opened my eyes immediately and it was really scary to see the channel (did I say it right?) coming closer and closer... and then BOOM. There I lay. All on my own, in a hole on the side of the street surrounded by spiders and all other creatures. Luckily I'm not a sissy (well, I do not consider myself as one) so I climbed out - with my bike which was curved in a not normal way - ... 

Well, my opinion is that driving in the ditch is a one life time experience and I have to admit I'm happy I survided that experience, but it was really stupid of me, and that is why it's one of the dumb things I do.

Today

Today I went with a friend to the shop to look for a present for another friend .. :) 

We wanted to do something really original (we did not succeed, I'm afraid..) and we bought a lot of small/cute/... stuff, and also a white T-shirt on which we're going to write and paint !

Apparently, I was not paying attention to prices (normally I do) so when we were in the next store I saw cheap white shirts  and I looked for the bill to see what the one we bought cost. That shirt was not even pretty (since we wanted to write on it) and it was not cheap - at least not cheap enough for the purpose it served. Outcome: we ran back to the previous shop and asked the cashier to take it back and repay us (I told her that I did not want the shirt and that I was totally mistaken and so on...). And that is what I consider as dumb :) at least we got our money back!

Each day I say so many silly things, so I'll post at least once a week about my stupidities, people like to read about people who are even more stupid then they are, I guess :D

Love,

go belgium go slips

a lot of new designerstalent created slips to show how great belgium is (or how great belgian girls legs are?)

i like the slip-with-puppet-head and the body suits
why don't  you just visit the site to watch all designs ? don't worry ! it's no porn at all ! it's progressive and something new, which is good (in my opinion!)



lay-out
i want to change the lay-out of this blog, but i don't know where to start, and to be honest, i don't know how
(i do know how to change it, but not how to make it modern)

love,
myrah
your not so successful and inspired wannabe-blogger

there are those days

This day sucked
well, actually it was kinda nice, but then i came home...
now someone i see as a very good friend is mad at me,  and that really is horrible
it's about something for school and we didn't arrange it well, so she and i both worked a lot on the lay-out, while just one of us should. i talked to her on msn but she is not much of a chatter so now i only feel worse
i hate it ! just now i was getting closer to her, i hate it
i never had an argue with her before, so i hope it'll be sorted out... really hope so !

well, nothing can make me laugh now and my latin test tomorrow won't be great. i'm just the kind of people that keeps thinking of something bad all day and can't think positively on these days.

the one thing that may help is georgia nicolson, if she won't make me laugh, who will?

My designs

What I love to do is draw

When I get bored in class, I draw. That means I draw all the time, actually. At home I don't draw a lot, except for special occasions and blahblahblah. My most beautiful drawings are made during French, Latin, history, ... And my favourite subjects are people, especially girls. I'm working on my sixpack-skills, because that I'd like to draw too. But, besides that, girls/women are a lot more fun to draw, because of the clothes and accessories. Boysfashion can be very cool and creative too, but for now I stick to the stronger gender. It's amazing to draw fashionable women because you can do whatever you want. If you say it's fashion, and you like it, then it is fashion. 

Here are some of my French and study drawings:

I really like French elegance and berets. This is no beret, and on me it would look ugly as hell, but I like it. It reminds me of the snood my grandma has, but it can be worn in a stylish way, I believe.

Of course you cannot compare drawn figures with real people, but I do it anyway. Usually I name my fashionista's, but this one I haven't got a name for. I think it might be a Milla or something like that. Ideas ?

She looks a bit startled. Wonder what surprised her. 

Okay no that's a little undue. :)

This model is really skinny. Too skinny, really, but that's another case. 

I was thinking of Avatar, actually. Avatar as a combination of the blue Na'vi on the planet Pandora and the element controllers of the series on Nickelodeon.

She has the same sort of hat as the drawing above, and a jumpsuit. I'm totally into jumpsuits, but the one I have is not even cool (that's another story). The triangle on her forehead and the circles on her shoulder are the result of my creativeness. I like body-paintings like that. They should be used more often for fashion shows, in my opinion. 

Well, it seems like French is good for something. 

This one a nice creation. I like the weird hairdo, would like to see something like it in real. I have to admit, dough, that I would never wear my hair like this... :)

The clothing is hippie-inspired, and the body-painting is just cool.

For these models I have no names, because they are anonymous. That is because they are models, and models are the creation of the designer. Not the women's minds of course, but on the moment they walk down the catwalk, they are what the designer want them to be. So I cannot name these women, because this is not what they look like normally. The designer I can name, dough, but that is very exceptionally. The designer is called... Myrah, I think. Just a guess, of course.

More drawings will follow soon ! I have a lot more, but that would be too much for one post and then I would have nothing to show you guys later on.

Hope you liked it (at least a bit)

Love

Vintage art

Wallet

For an online competition, I had to design a wallet.

There is a 250 euro price, I hope that there won't be many wallet designers on the read!
I want to buy a camera (and clothes, maybe). I'm still a little too young to have a students job , but in July I'll be 15. For now I'm just hoping to win this... I saw the winners of the previous part, and they were not thàt good...  I have to buy summerdresses ! No, seriously, I need a camera, but I really want to win, at least one of the personalized wallets! (the first ten win these)
About the wallet I really like old posters, vintage drawings, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, newspapers designs, etc... So I combined :) I hope you like it! (I haven't got photoshop, so it took long to fix it, -> there are some imperfections, of course..)

 Pop Art

Pop art I like a lot. Pop art was mostly used in the mid 50s, for comics, advertising...It looks really modern.
It was an art movement that arose because of a certain mentality of freedom, sexuality and woman emancipation. You all know it from images of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, soup cans, Coca Cola, ...

Roy Lichtenstein He's a great example. You probably saw his art before.

Andy Warhol

 Who has not seen Marilyn Monroe like this before? She hangs on my wall, that's for sure. Monroe has always been an idol to me, but now I'm not so sure if I still adore er so much. :)

Disney Disney is inspiration. Mickey Mouse by Andy Warhol 

Vintage posters
just love it

         Vintage postcards
Yes, they are absolutely not feminist, and I am a feminist (in thoughts), but I like these. I have a whole collection of vintage postcards, not all like these (I could not find the ones I was looking for). One day, I'll scan them and then you'll all see what I'm talking about.

This is the first 'art post'. It's not all about this theme, but I'm tired and I haven't blogged since a week.
Coming up: Black and white photos, newspaper articles, comic books, superheroes, postcards, Keith Haring, and more fashion of course , but fashion is based on art, and to me art is as important as fashion ..
Well, I'll let you know if I won the wallet competition ! Fingers crossed!

Personal issues

 Personal problems that really are no big deal

Yesterday, I thought:
'I stop blogging, I'm so busy right now and I don't think anyone will read it anyway.' And I totally get why nobody reads it, because if I would pass this blog (while I'm not me, bien sûr) I would not read it either. I have nothing interesting to say, you see. But, I said to myself, I should keep trying and maybe then BOOM inspiration would be there! And indeed, I had a phew moments when I was like: I have to remember this - I can write something about it - in mean time I already forgot where this was all about ...
I have a lot of hobbies (subject change so suddenly, why is that? - you'll see!), and I can never decide what to do. I mean - what to do next year? I want to act, I want to keep horseriding, I want to draw, I want to play volley, I want to continue scouting, I want to play the guitar ... And I have to make my homework, I have to study... I don't have enough time! So - I guess - there is no time for blogging. And I will never have that fluent writing style some are blessed with.
Then I started discussing with myself (in silent, let that be clear), and eventually I decided to continue writing. And I don't really care if someone follows me (or maybe I care a little...), I'll write for myself! Maybe this can help to clear out a lot of stuff. :)
Like my hobbies, for example; if someone does something nice or when I see a cool sport, I want to do it. And I can't do everything, you know - well of course you know, but I have to realise!
Blogging is like all these others. We'll see of something good comes from it.

Oh, and I bought this jumpsuit with flowers, that I liked in the store, but when I came home, it absolutely sucked. It's a short one. If you have an idea of how I can wear it and make it look pretty, tell me :) (another reason why I started this blog; I already am subtl but different with what I wear, but I want to create my own clothes - not that blogging will help me, but hopefully I'll get some inspiration on other blogs -- way cooler blogs, I'm afraid -> don't worry! This blog will be cool in no time! You can trust me on this one, I hope ..

Love
Myrah

One more thing: 
I need a dress to survive summer in a fashionably way. I wanted to buy this one (at H&M), but H&M online shop does not exist in Belgium. Which is just shit. In the real stores they don't sell these. Hate it.
