*Just after two conferences in Poznań*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(the one about Alice was simply perfect),</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but my mind is floating somewhere far.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now the story that I can not stop thinking about</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is the story about Claudine</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from Riyoko Ikeda's manga.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Claudine- a man born</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with female body.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Absolutely perfect man.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Handome, delicate, clever,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
smartly dressed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tragic story.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not because of death,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but of its reason.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Claudine thinking</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
about himself</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as about imperfect man,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because of the body</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is the saddest think ever. ..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Claudine was the ideal man.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perfect man that does not exist in reality.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am suprised that</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there is no Takarazuka version!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Claudine is otokoyaku</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from a dream.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Could real man</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
love that much?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

I still feel like my heart is on this day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the best day I spent in Japan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The day in Takarazuka.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was excited since the morning,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but the moment I entered Hankyu train</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I felt with all my being </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that this is really happening.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Takarazuka station welcomed me with this sign.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8wQR09jxCs8/VSKscOkXSQI/AAAAAAAAIDc/Gy6IvmR93yY/s1600/Screenshot_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8wQR09jxCs8/VSKscOkXSQI/AAAAAAAAIDc/Gy6IvmR93yY/s1600/Screenshot_3.jpg" height="199" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then we entered <i>Hana no michi</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Flower road)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which leads to the theater.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Probably I am idealizing it all,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but it really is like a road to your dream world.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now I have tears in my eyes,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because I do not know </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when I will be able to walk it again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lots of statues there</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w7dw1NclGVk/VSKtUMVaQKI/AAAAAAAAIDk/ogqpShXQnX4/s1600/Screenshot_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w7dw1NclGVk/VSKtUMVaQKI/AAAAAAAAIDk/ogqpShXQnX4/s1600/Screenshot_2.jpg" height="320" width="318" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not yet blooming</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SgwXmuF-po0/VSKtZ4jKydI/AAAAAAAAID0/zaKVmMDqD5A/s1600/Screenshot_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SgwXmuF-po0/VSKtZ4jKydI/AAAAAAAAID0/zaKVmMDqD5A/s1600/Screenshot_1.jpg" height="198" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then you reach this posters and sign.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everybody is taking pictures there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Q_tkkdMRXoc/VSKuYt6CPXI/AAAAAAAAIEE/NEi__8RrOag/s1600/Screenshot_4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Q_tkkdMRXoc/VSKuYt6CPXI/AAAAAAAAIEE/NEi__8RrOag/s1600/Screenshot_4.jpg" height="298" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With my friend who wore loli</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to match my ouji outfit</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-utbyw00yv5Y/VSKudzXHgZI/AAAAAAAAIEM/uWo7uulL0Ys/s1600/Screenshot_5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-utbyw00yv5Y/VSKudzXHgZI/AAAAAAAAIEM/uWo7uulL0Ys/s1600/Screenshot_5.jpg" height="320" width="316" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ct12EHuZekw/VSKunmQJ9ZI/AAAAAAAAIEU/CAwZE7ZwXTc/s1600/Screenshot_6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ct12EHuZekw/VSKunmQJ9ZI/AAAAAAAAIEU/CAwZE7ZwXTc/s1600/Screenshot_6.jpg" height="319" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then we went closer to the theater.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lots of fans were waiting there</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to take pictures of stars.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We saw a few actors entering the theater.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They were wearing cool clothes,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
were tall with short hair and sunglasses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Otokoyaku.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I could finally put my eyes </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on these unusual creatures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And believe me I was not disappointed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We waited in a group of fans.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Excitement increased. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Powder room</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9ve9HnZB0UM/VSMYiZ4qMjI/AAAAAAAAIE8/SOHl8wZ3S2s/s1600/Screenshot_10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9ve9HnZB0UM/VSMYiZ4qMjI/AAAAAAAAIE8/SOHl8wZ3S2s/s1600/Screenshot_10.jpg" height="320" width="316" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Entering a theater was just the beginning</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of an adventure.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There was all shopping center inside</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with shops connected with Takarazuka</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and restaurants.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Takarazuka's songs were heard everywhere.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our handkerchiefs</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and program for</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Embraced by seas of Calisto</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which we saw.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dsDF4NJkOLM/VSMYXME1q2I/AAAAAAAAIE0/DAhvqNziRRM/s1600/Screenshot_9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dsDF4NJkOLM/VSMYXME1q2I/AAAAAAAAIE0/DAhvqNziRRM/s1600/Screenshot_9.jpg" height="200" width="198" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally we entered the theater.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Roses, rose carpet, piano which played by itself</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and excitement everywhere.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was enjoying wearing prince clothes, taking pictures</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and getting lots of attention.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Usually I do not care about it so much,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but at this day I felt like wearing kind of cosplay</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so it was different.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I liked Takarazuka earlier,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but after seeing it with my own eyes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am obsessed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From Flower Road to the performance</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was charmed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All atmosphere, pathos, colors, stories,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
music and light</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it is all like a dream.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All this world is unreal,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it does not pretend to be real,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it wants to stay far, far away from having anything</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
common with reality.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Only emotions and feelings</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
were truly real.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After the performance we waited outside the theater</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for a while.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fans talking with their fav stars</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and their feelings were real.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They adored something that does not exist,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but this simply fact made it more and more worth adoring.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is not the adoration of a world</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in spite of the fact it does not exist,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but just because of it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All this flamboyant world </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is built from the most delicate </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and ethereal material I have ever seen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tezuka Osamu's museum</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is the best end of the day spent in Takarazuka.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Princess Knight's origin became all clear and natural.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Dreaming for dreaming.<br />
I would say with a hope that dreams<br />
will never come true.<br />
They are not for coming true.<br />
They are for staying dreams forever.<br />
Too beautiful to be messed with reality by coming true.<br />
Too subtle to stand on the real ground.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
after another, but after coming back from Japan</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all my being is breathing Takarazuka.</div>

I feel that it is one of this interest that will stay with me until death.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is like I made one more step to find the real me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was the same with Japan, then Lolita, VKei,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
opera, ballet and now Takarazuka has joined </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this honorable circle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today watched performance was <i>Silver Rose Chronicle</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The story about silver-haired vampire siblings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am all in this story</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
turning myself into</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
銀のばら</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
幻の少女</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
myself</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The performance does not only have interesting story,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but also such a beautiful music and choreography.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What is more, the music and dance always appear </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in a perfect moment</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to multiply your emotions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And Annabelle and Christopher are exactly </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the kind of vampires I love:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
beautiful, lonely, all in pain.</div>

Ouki Kaname created a charismatic, ambivalent, </div>

Flower symbolism is always something</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that effects me more than it should.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Silver rose.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not a red rose which lost all her petals</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
just after being taken into hand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But silver one which is eternally in a full bloom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just like silver- haired siblings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Like my love to vampires.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And seems like my love to Takarazuka since now on.</div>

So I am back from Japan </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(with a new obsession).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will not write about Japan</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as there is too many things to write.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe when I am in a mood for</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
reflections about a concrete thing I will,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but generally I continue the blog from now on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I said a new obsession</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I meant Takarazuka.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I liked it earlier,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but after seeing a performance live I fell for it completely.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right new I am living the story called <i>Dark Brown Eyes</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which was based on the Pushkin's novel <i>The Captain's daughter.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I read the novel and it was very random.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pushkin was a genius when writing poems but novels...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well. Nothing outstanding.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the story itself has a big potential.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Young a little naive boy who is going far from home to a regiment,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
an innocent girl who is the daughter of this regiment's captain</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and a wild Cossack who is living his crazy ideals and<br />
starts a rebellion against aristocrats.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course there is love, but above it there is a strange friendship</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
between the young boy of aristocrat origin and mentioned Cossack Pugachov.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is unbelievable how Japanese modern music theater<br />
can make alive a historical character</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
like Pugachov. And how this interpretation can move you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Otozuki Kei as Nicolai was perfect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As in Takarazuka should be she was your dreamed lover</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with a smile to kill for.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-V6EUXjQ4TVE/VRqwaKeQ7tI/AAAAAAAAIAs/evYjIYLV0rY/s1600/vlcsnap-2015-03-31-15h57m36s0.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-V6EUXjQ4TVE/VRqwaKeQ7tI/AAAAAAAAIAs/evYjIYLV0rY/s1600/vlcsnap-2015-03-31-15h57m36s0.png" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I loved how a snow storm</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in which Nicolai was lost (and then rescued by Pugachov)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
was painted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of snow girls he saw there was played by the same actor</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
who was Nicolai's lover later.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Masha becomes the embodiment of Nicolai's dream lover- snow shoujo.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But it was Pugachov that caught my attention the most.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought a lot about him after watching the performance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the book Pugachov tells Nicolai </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(well, in fact in the book the character is called Pyotr)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the Kalmyk tale about an eagle and a crow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
An eagle lives 33 years when a crow lives 300,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but he eats only carrion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eagle tried to eat carrion to live longer,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but he resigned- it is better to live 33 years, but eat living creatures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pugachov believed that starting war and fighting</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
means to live his live fully, maybe shorter, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but it is the way of making the most of it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nicolai thought that killing is a way of living like a crow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pugachov and his delicate friendship with Nicolai shows him as a man</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who was not completely bad. He was twisted. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His idea of life was twisted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEETST0iS_GhyBEfJFvykhSmSDLYXXTi7aJPLQTnjIascOMpp2ADkdYKd788ctgtgRpgQ2dnBYxHjce7j6hXCaEmb8mJPdBNxTC05XI1G66YBGuQuxjER1tQq2yiNzQTdR6ezjqxSEWm4/s1600/vlcsnap-2015-03-31-15h59m31s151.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEETST0iS_GhyBEfJFvykhSmSDLYXXTi7aJPLQTnjIascOMpp2ADkdYKd788ctgtgRpgQ2dnBYxHjce7j6hXCaEmb8mJPdBNxTC05XI1G66YBGuQuxjER1tQq2yiNzQTdR6ezjqxSEWm4/s1600/vlcsnap-2015-03-31-15h59m31s151.png" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Nicolai got to know that Pugachov was caught</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and is going to be executed he said:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"Eméla, Eméla,"I said to myself, in vexation, </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"why did you not cast yourself on the bayonets, </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>or present your heart to the grapeshot. That had been best for you"</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cried when reading it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nicolai does not say "Pugachov" or use his titles</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
he uses his name in a shorter form.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like referring to a friend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He knows that death is the only end for</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a person like Pugachov (he can not agree with his actions),</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but he regrets that Emela, his friend Emela in rabbit's doublet,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
can not die quickly, without dishonor, in a fight he enjoyed so much.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Isn't this beautiful and tragic?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before the execution Pugachov sings the same song</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
he sang when being alone with Nicolai earlier.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He does not regret his short, but intensive life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until the end he believes he was an eagle, not a crow. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how they look, how they smell</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and all ambivalence that surround them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope that through this post I will be able</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to explain it fuller.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
My excuse for this post</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is the fact that I have finally</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
found "my perfume".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It lasted quite long..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew that I want to smell lilies,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but it was not so easy to realize.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Either lilies scent was not so distinct</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or it was too field-like...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Too flowery, too sweet..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or it was destroyed by other scents.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Cartier Baiser Vole edp</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is the solution.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has lilies in all its notes:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
either pistils, petals or leaves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is the Lily in all shades of its beauty</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with a little add of citruses and green notes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which only highlight the main scent</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
modestly staying in the background. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was not the love from the first smell.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first impression was:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so that is it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe I will try other lilies cartier perfums.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But after a few trials I started to like it...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and now... I feel like the smell</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
starts to conquer my clothes..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel it it my room more and more..<br />
Even thought it is quite delicate and subtle<br />
(it rather stays close to your body than surround you everywhere).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
step by step it becomes one with your skin, dominate it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course I can use other scents from time to time,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but yes- I feel like this one will be my companion</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
through many years or longer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The same like lilies are.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have I already said</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that I was going to decide </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for a name/ nickname</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which I want to be called in Japan</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I chose Lily?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's start a lily story.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All starts with my perfume.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take a look at their commercial.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bxga1i2f9Kg/U9wSydfAWqI/AAAAAAAAHwQ/JTpLJnoc3eg/s1600/Screenshot_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bxga1i2f9Kg/U9wSydfAWqI/AAAAAAAAHwQ/JTpLJnoc3eg/s1600/Screenshot_1.jpg" height="131" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is romantic (their name is- <i>stolen kiss</i> in french), elegant </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and quite random, typical for perfumes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="215" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/FBMOOGYCF7g" width="380"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
But the melody!<br />
Since the first hearing<br />
I was charmed.<br />
The commercial is just romantic,<br />
but the melody is melancholic, disquieting...<br />
it somehow does not suit the commercial.<br />
But it suits the smell of perfumes.<br />
It suits lilies.<br />
<br />
I was sure about it<br />
when I listened to all the melody<br />
which is an epilogue (and main motif)<br />
in Korean horror (!)<br />
<b><i>A Tale of two sisters</i>.</b><br />
<br />
All melody<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="215" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/-2wfD10MT7E" width="380"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
It remains sweet,<br />
but at the same time it hides<br />
a strange tension inside.<br />
Lilies can pretend to be sweet, innocent,<br />
maybe even a little bit naive,<br />
but then one gust of wind<br />
reveals their inner nature.<br />
This one choking scent note<br />
which for a while dominates all you senses<br />
to disappear quickly,<br />
but you already remember about it.<br />
And about the fact that it is always there hidden.<br />
Perfume are the same.<br />
Sometimes you just feel something flowery<br />
or you do not feel them at all- you are sure they are gone-<br />
but then their one "small mistake" reveal that they are still here<br />
and they are toxic, poisonous, even deadly.<br />
<br />
This amazing movie<br />
suits here very well.<br />
It is based on Korean folktale<br />
<i>The Story of Janghwa and Hongryeon</i><br />
from Joseon era.<br />
The version is changed and more modern,<br />
but the fairy tale atmosphere<br />
(very Grimm-like)<br />
is still present.<br />
So we have two sisters, bad stepmother<br />
and a house full of flowery motifs.<br />
Flowers are really omnipresent.<br />
On walls, on girls clothes...<br />
<br />

<br />
In original tale<br />
sisters' names mean Rose and Lotus-<br />
so flowery motif is not so surprising.<br />
But in the movie not only<br />
names are changed, but also ending.<br />
Do not expect a happy forever after.<br />
In the tale both sisters died..<br />
and then they were reborn...<br />
here the situation is much more difficult.<br />
Death would be the simplest solution and an escape.<br />
The escape from mental problems,<br />
guilty conscious and mistakes<br />
which can not be repaired..<br />
Roses and Lotuses are not enough.<br />
<br />

<br />
We need lilies here.<br />
Lilies can refer to innocence<br />
which is broken here figuratively and literally<br />
(the motif of menstruation).<br />
Lilies can also refer to the hope of a salvation<br />
which is not acquired in the movie,<br />
but the hope remains.<br />
Only hope.. hope for the proper ending-<br />
the movie just leaves a spectator in the middle.<br />
In the constant tension.<br />
Let it end-<br />
even the ending as in <i>Broken Blossom</i><br />
would be acceptable<br />
(I mention it because in Polish the title<br />
is <i>The Broken Lily</i>).<br />
But do not leave it just like this. In the middle.<br />
I say <i>do end...</i><br />
but in fact this tension<br />
is what makes this movie a masterpiece.<br />
I would only add hope.<br />
Hope of salvation<br />
(which I do not understand<br />
in religious categories, but more personal).<br />
Just give the girl in the mental hospital<br />
a flowerpot with lilies<br />
and I swear I would cry!<br />
(Sorry for spoilers if you have not seen the movie...)<br />
I start to go too far (as usual)<br />
so now let's concentrate on lilies<br />
and lilies alone.<br />
<br />
<b>LILY MOTIFS</b><br />
So other lily motifs<br />
(I will add here different ones in the future.<br />
To not lose them. )<br />
<br />
The meaning of lilies is so ambiguous.<br />
Even contradictory.<br />
In different cultures, but also in the area of one.<br />
Lilies has above 80 varieties, but thousands of faces!<br />
<i>Lilium auratum</i> or <i>lilium regale</i>.<br />
(in sequence: from China and Japan)<br />
OMG they are all so beautiful!<br />
They can be found in Sudetes, Carpathians and Alps,<br />
Balkans and Asia.<br />
In Poland most popular is <i>lilium bulbiferum</i> and<i> lilium martagon</i>.<br />
And of course hybrid lily (from cross breeding)<br />
developed in 1978 - <i>stargazer lily</i>.<br />
Isn't this name beautiful? Lily gazing at stars..<br />
(it is rare for lilies to "gaze at stars"..<br />
are they ashamed of their bittersweet smell?)<br />
<br />
<br />
Colours of lilies can change their meaning like:<br />
-orange lily- hatred or passsion<br />
-pink- prosperity<br />
-white (<i>lilium candidum</i>)<br />
like the world<i> leirion</i> (lily's name comes from it)<br />
delicate and sensitive<br />
etc... it is rather fluid<br />
<br />
They were already known in <u><b>ancient times</b></u>:<br />
-they come from Hera's milk: Zeus gave Hera Hercules to feed<br />
when she was sleeping. When she realized it<br />
she pushed him away and her milk spilled<br />
on the sky- forming Milky Way and a few drops- on the earth<br />
giving birth to first lilies;<br />
-adorned muse's hair and Zeus's coat;<br />
-ancient Greece- sexuality in general;<br />
-in Rome: a lily was connected with a hope;<br />
-found in a villa in Crete- fresco Lily Prince,<br />
lilies were considered sacred;<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tsAHRnoLlN0/VBS3_2FjNwI/AAAAAAAAH20/mAqZE9Rutv8/s1600/Knossos-fresco-lily-prince-2599.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tsAHRnoLlN0/VBS3_2FjNwI/AAAAAAAAH20/mAqZE9Rutv8/s1600/Knossos-fresco-lily-prince-2599.jpg" height="200" width="132" /></a></div>
<br />
-in Rome similar myth (to Hera's one) was present,<br />
but also Romans had another one with Venus.<br />
When she was coming out from the sea<br />
she saw a lily. And was jealous of their perfect beauty so she gave them<br />
a big pistil to destroy it.<br />
Both myths (Venus, Hera) tell the story of being jealous.<br />
Isn't the pistil making the mess here?<br />
-appeared in Egypt and Middle East- fertility, used as a decoration motif;<br />
-in Egypt-put to sarcophagus, probably as a food for the dead!<br />
<br />

-Byzantium- prosperity, emperor power.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Christianity:</b></u><br />
-innocence and purity- associated with Mary<br />
(it was even an edict of pope in XVIII which established it,<br />
what's more Mary's tomb is said to be decorated with lilies,<br />
different parts of a lily symbolize different Mary's feature ),<br />
but also her parents and Saint Joseph,<br />
specially white lilies- with Saint Antoni and Saint Joseph;<br />
-Archangel Gabriel often keeps a lily<br />
in annunciation scene;<br />

-it is also said that lilies were created from Eve's tears<br />
when she had to leave Eden;<br />
-in Sermon on the Mount Jesus<br />
used the metaphor of lily on the field-<br />
meaning the full belief in God;<br />
-the symbol of Church in general;<br />

thanks to it phallic pistil;<br />
-used to predict unborn child sex- a person<br />

If she chooses a rose, she will give born to a girl,<br />
a lily- boy (again phallic connotations appear);<br />
-the symbol the cult of the Great Mother (fertility again);<br />
-alchemy (female element, once female, once male,<br />
lilies join all contradictions);<br />
-emblem of France- meaning like in Byzantium,<br />
this lily Fleur-de-Lis has three petals<br />
referring also to the trinity of<br />
Hope, Faith and Charity.<br />

it from Saint Mary..;<br />

-Adam Mickiewicz- Polish poet wrote a ballad <i>Lilje</i>-<br />
Lilies grow on the tomb of a husband who was killed<br />
by his wife.<br />
His brothers who want to marry a widow<br />
make the bouquet of lilies taken<br />
from his grave (uncounsciusly).<br />
Then the husband returns...<br />
Reading this ballad at school<br />
was probably the first time I was fascinated by lilies.<br />
They were threatening, deadly, even macabre,<br />
but still poisonously beautiful and charming.<br />
<br />
-William Blake- innocence, heavenly reward;<br />
-Emily Dickinson- she admired lilies,<br />
used them in her poems, called herself and her sister with lily names etc.;<br />
<br />
T<i>hrough the Dark Sod—as Education—</i><br />
<i>The Lily passes sure—</i><br />
(lily means here soul's development)<br />
<br />
-William Sheakspeare<br />
-Katherine Mansfield <i>The Garden Party</i><br />
-Carroll's Alice meets tiger lilies who are able to talk,<br />
but only with chosen ones:<br />
<i>'O Tiger-lily,' said Alice, </i><br />
<i>addressing herself to one that was waving gracefully </i><br />
<i>about in the wind,</i><br />
<i>'I wish you could talk!' </i><br />
<i>'We can talk,' said the Tiger-lily: 'when there's anybody worth talking to</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
-Tolkien compares Eowyn to a lily"<br />
<br />
<i>When I first looked on her and perceived her unhappiness,</i><br />
<i>it seemed to me that I saw a white flower standing straight and proud,</i><br />
<i>shapely as a lily,</i><br />
<i>and yet knew that it was hard, as if wrought by elf-wrights out of steel.</i><br />
<i>Or was it, maybe, a frost that had turned its sap to ice,</i><br />
<i>and so it stood, bitter-sweet, still fair to see, but stricken, soon to fall and die?</i><br />
<br />
-John Keats also used lilies' metaphor.<br />
<br />
<u><br /></u>
<u><b>Pop culture:</b></u><br />
-Kaya uses a lily to his <i>Taboo</i> single.<br />
A lily appears on the cover.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Its smell is the smell of taboo.<br />
Something prohibited and dangerous.<br />
Alluring but painful.<br />
(<a href="https://www.facebook.com/notes/kaya-polish-street-team/teksty-piosenek-taboo/597448506944774">link</a>)<br />
<br />
-strange movie <i>L'écume des jours</i><br />
about a girl in whose lungs<br />
a lily starts to grow..<br />
I have not seen it yet, so no ratings.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Daily use:</b></u><br />
-used for 30th anniversaries;<br />
-generally connected with death, used for funerals<br />
(specially of children) and coffins,<br />
but also they appear as wedding flowers;<br />
<br />
-<i>paint/ gild the lily </i>means: adorn unnecessarily, adorn something<br />
that is already beautiful and complete.<br />
It can also mean beautify yourself for the special occasion;<br />
-they were also used as a medicine for wounds, burns, bites etc;<br />
-used in cooking e.g in China for desserts;<br />
-used as an emblem by scouts- it refers to courage and righteousness<br />
how lily came to mean courage it somehow intriguing xD<br />
The scouts' lily also has the direction marks-<br />
it means "going in the good direction".<br />
<br />
<u><b>Other lilies:</b></u><br />
Some other flowers which do not belong biologically<br />
to a lily family bear "lily in their name"<br />
what only increase lilies' ambiguity<br />
like water lily, calla lily, lily of the valley.....<br />
<br />
<u><b>More:</b></u><br />
-dreams about lilies: meaning sanctity of heart,<br />
the need of clearing things up;<br />
looking at lilies- the chance of success etc<br />
(Sorry, I am not into such things)<br />
-lilies are poisonous for cats, specially stargazers..<br />
(that is why I will probably never have a cat...).<br />
<br />
<u><b>Best quotes:</b></u><br />
<br />
<i>If you have two loaves of bread, sell one and buy a lily.</i><br />
Chinese Proverbs quotes<br />
<br />
<i><u></u>
I wish I were the lily's leaf</i><br />
<i>To fade upon that bosom warm,</i><br />
<i>Content to wither, pale and brief, The trophy of thy paler form.</i><br />
Elizabeth Barrett Browning Quotes<br />
<br />
<i>Like the lily That once was mistress of the field and flourished,</i><br />
<i> I'll hang my head and perish.</i><br />
William Shakespeare<br />
<br />
<i>But who will watch my lilies, When their blossoms open white?</i><br />
<i>By day the sun shall be sentry, And the moon and the stars by night!</i><br />
Bayard Taylor<br />
<br />
And my most favourite for the end:<br />
<br />
<i><b>For her, the lilies hang their heads and die.</b></i><br />
Alexander Pope<br />
This is the sign I want to be put on my grave.<br />
Fresh lilies should decorate it<br />
and be kept there until loosing all their petals.<br />
<br />
(<a href="http://www.worldofquotes.com/topic/Lilies/1/">source</a>)<br />
<br />
Of course there is much more.<br />
I will try to develop this post successfully<br />
as I am really under the strong charm of these flowers.<br />
This bitter-sweetness<br />
Their toxic charm<br />
leading to a tragedy.<br />
They are a pure essence of my aesthetics ideals...<br />
of my mentality brought up by Hugo's romanticism,<br />
Dostoyevsky's dark soul and Wilde's life pleasures.<br />
A lily personifies it all.<br />
I can get all excited by simply thinking about them.<br />
Like Emily Dickinson I can say that there is not other commandment<br />
than "considering lilies".<br />
<br />
For the end just one more reference.<br />
<b>Lilies and ballet.</b><br />
Do not you think that a lily is very similar to a ballerina?<br />
Seems delicate, subtle with her ethereal petals,<br />
but inside bears extraordinary strength<br />
without it learning ballet would be impossible.<br />
Lilies just like ballet dancers have their strong stems<br />
which allow them to survive for so long<br />
with the flawless posture until the very end.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>The Dance of Lilies?</b><br />
I see it as an amazing abstract ballet.<br />
Something similar to Balanchine's <i>Jewels.</i><br />
Different groups could personify varied aspects of lilies.<br />
Like innocence, death and love.<br />
In the end meeting of them all would lead to a chaos,<br />
but at the same time it would refer to life's absurdity<br />
when you are not able to simply choose one meaning<br />
and reject all the rest.<br />
You are always in between.<br />
Until lilies hang their heads and die.<br />
This is how my story would end.<br />
<br />

I am just in the mood for a spam :3</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I have holidays I can afford it :3</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hate going outside..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Summer can you just end, please?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But holidays can continue of course!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As far as I remember I have not written here</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that I successfully defended my 2nd master thesis<br />
in culture management</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(with honours again)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I can spend my holidays on other things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is an inscription.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I dedicated my thesis about The Krakow Opera for</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my fav local tenor :3</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As my admiration for his performance of Don Jose in "Carmen"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
was the beginning of all opera love and adventure </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
he was worth it<3</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately the season of Opera is now over</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I have to wait long long time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
before the next performance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It seems significant that the last performance in our Opera</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for this season</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
was kabuki theater.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next I will see after the return from Japan...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Significant or maybe I pay too much attention</div>

How excited I was!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were doing quite difficult stuff</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I learned my first choreography :3</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Having classes everyday is so different!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It does not even matter that my toes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
are scuffed and ankles swollen</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(and progress is slow).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was so challenging!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ballet slowly teaches me to control my own body</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and generally overcome weaknesses and fears.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It takes my power, but offers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
me beauty and strength instead.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Somehow I start to think that learning</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ballet and kanji</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is somehow similar.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You have to exercise everyday,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you have to strive for perfection,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you feel worn out, do it wrong,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
feel like giving up</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but start it once again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even though I am not able</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to admire kanji as much as ballet</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
still they are both enchanting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I even started to imagine</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
learning kanji</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
like a kind of dancing on the paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As I learn kanji from imiwa (IOS app)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I spend time looking on the screen</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when kanji are written stroke by stroke-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they dance themselves on my eyes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kanji develop themselves over time</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(the order of strokes is important)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so it sounds like a kind of dance xD</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What is the music?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe finding the answer would be the way</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to finally remember them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hahah sorry for all this babbling Xd</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I remember that I read somewhere</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(and those words stuck in my head)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>be like one of those ballet girls,</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>have discipline.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And yes- this is definitely what ballet teaches you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kanji do the same.</div>

Hello, yesterday I visited Botanical Garden.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh I was really in the mood for it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Especially for visiting a greenhouse</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which is there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lately I watched two series</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
where a greenhouse appeared</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(and was meaningful for a plot)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I really mentally needed to visit it myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Both stories were situated during</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Victorian Times.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This post is not supposed to be about movies</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so quickly...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Penny Dreadful</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started it because of ...XIX century- London,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dorian Gray and vampires..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but really finished loving it :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is Dorian who likes visiting greenhouses.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Especially seeing beautiful, but dangerous exotic plants.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Second series is anime.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think first anime taking place in Victorian era</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which is decently realistic-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Emma- a Victorian Romance</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The greenhouse in this movie</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is the part of currently non-existent The Crystal Palace.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The place makes a good background for a subtly developing </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
main characters' love.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this occasion</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I put on my biggest straw hat</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(for the first time) coordinated with</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Marie Antoinette jsk and a white underskirt.</div>

Unfortunately we have not met</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dorian Gray,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but well we were absorbed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in decadent pleasures</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
like... taking selfies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't you think... Dorian would love selfies?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is not only about being vain,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but rather about doing something completely useless.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And as Oscar said</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
simply pleasures are the last refuge of the complex.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

yesterday was Kamijo's birthday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Best wishes for him! Be even more spoiled</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>All charming people, I fancy, are spoiled. It is the secret of their attraction.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made roses cakes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to figuratively spoil him even more :3</div>

nothing but cooking!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lately I mostly concentrate</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on eating lots of vegetables </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
like broad beans, zucchini, sprouts, spinach...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(well spinach- always -I am addicted to it)</div>

The same like last year</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this year as well</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I attended the</div>

Festival of Street Theaters.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh dear,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
already one year has gone?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://princess-lladia.blogspot.com/2013/07/festival-of-street-theatres.html">Here is the post from last year</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But something does not change.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The same like last year</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I attended it together with Imaginary :3</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The same like last year</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was able to find a starting point</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to daydream about old times</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and travelling theaters</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which arrive to every village and city</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
gathering crowds.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first performance I saw was fairy tale- inspired.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Different tales- even Andersen's <i>red shoes</i> appeared!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Most hilarious?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>The Prince on white... Vespa :D</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because white horse is so overrated :DDD</div>

For the end of Festival</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
angels' arrival was prepared.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Closely it looked trashy and ridiculous,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but from afar quite impressive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Finally I went to see <i>Maleficent.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to do it earlier,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but it was going to be a reward after completing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all school duties.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I planned to wear</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aurora-inspired outfit:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a blond wig, pink (or blue, but I still opt for pink</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if you know what I mean xD) dress etc., but</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the hot weather (and rain)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
was against me so I chose</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my fav non-lolita outfit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perfect for hot days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a little ballet inspired.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I think about it now,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it was even a better choice than "Aurora's cosplay".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can not even consider <i>Sleeping beauty</i> idea</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
without the ballet-connotations.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ballet adaptations will always be my favourite.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whenever I think about the image of princess</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sleeping among roses on a silk-covered bed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hear the yearning sounds</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of Tchaikovsky music.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you probably remember</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
his music was also used in Disney's adaptation.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I was going to write about <i>Maleficent</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and as always I simply followed my own path ...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway I have nothing against such fairy tales reinterpretations.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I quietly enjoyed it </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as developing the character of the bad witch</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(and being able not to lose the fairy, naive and escapist atmosphere!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
was something that seemed absolutely natural</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and was strongly needed in the nowadays popculture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sudden revelations and naive lands-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that is what I look for in tales.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Simplicity can be the best escape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But this simplicity should have dark cracks</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which give it the strong primitive and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
purgatory power.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The vision of Sleeping Beauty</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
being already dead</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
after the Prince's arrival</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is something always present in my mind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her dead body among roses</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the Prince dancing his lonely anti- wedding<i> pas de deux</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in her chamber is so appealing..OMG so much!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Such an awful beauty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Aesthetic pain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yeah dancing..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
here we come to ballet once again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I would like to post a few pics</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from our PhD trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I rarely visit mountains</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the pics are really worth the attention xD</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, I do like mountains,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but long walks.. well..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it is not about getting tired</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(ballet is much more tiring),</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but probably about getting dirty,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
worms and moths</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(yes, maybe moths are the strongest argument).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway the view from our cottage.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The cottage was surrounded</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
by animals e.g fallow deers <3</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We played one really amazing game!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am not really fond of games,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but this one <3</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixit_(card_game)">Dixit</a>-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you play cards,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but how gorgeous these cards are.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Like straightly from fairy tales.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would bough them just to write stories about them <3</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It really moves your imagination</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and playing such a game</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when being surrounded by mountains</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will keep on the shelf of dear memories.</div>

So The Krakow Opera decided to show <i>Fiddler on the roof</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is the most important it was performed in the open air.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I perceive open spaces as the main way</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to really open opera-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to make it more popular</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and less highbrow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was even more excited.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Especially that I really do love this musical.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This pic was taken</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in Jewish-stylized cafe</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
before the performance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_fO4QCXfeSw/U7hqwaKP8lI/AAAAAAAAHgg/DQZScHikON4/s1600/IMG_0287.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_fO4QCXfeSw/U7hqwaKP8lI/AAAAAAAAHgg/DQZScHikON4/s1600/IMG_0287.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The scenery was perfect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was not only situated in Jewish district,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but also in former municipal gaswork.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I dare to say that better scenery can not be found.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am not objective</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as I truly love this musical</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I was simply excited by every piece,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but still I think that Opera really did a good job this time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was humorous, but still kept in a proper atmosphere</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with a hint of nostalgia.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nostalgia for Jews who USED TO live here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It reminded me about the campaign</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"I miss you Jew"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when people were writing this sign</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in places when Jews USED TO be present.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Such a thought was strongly expressed here as well</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
making it bitter-sweet in its taste.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FVTQ4YpBQNs/U7htSW3c23I/AAAAAAAAHgs/dAlqlpklrnU/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FVTQ4YpBQNs/U7htSW3c23I/AAAAAAAAHgs/dAlqlpklrnU/s1600/1.jpg" height="182" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As I saw the movie countless time</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in the childhood</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my personal nostalgia</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
followed the path.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As in the childhood</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
still now I had tears in my eyes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
during <i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juuhx884ylM">Chava sequence</a></i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DujvTfXoFA">sunrise sunset</a>,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but some things do not change.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe the last one. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I bought myself iPhone (she is called Anastazja :D )</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and started using Instagram</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will probably mostly use it for this kind of spam :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Follow <a href="http://instagram.com/princess_lladia">princess_lladia</a> then :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To not look like a person</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
who only thinks about food (and clothes)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the pic of the book </div>

And now two outfits.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This one is for the opera</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>The love for three oranges.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The adaption was not able to catch </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
fairytale atmosphere,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but I still had fun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Only fun I would add.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Only" because the story about a prince</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
who goes on a journey to find three oranges</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he fell in love with</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
has the much bigger potential!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This one was for the exhibition about Czech symbolism.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Matching dress, right:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was really excited for this exhibition.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It just made me think about the one I saw in Vienna</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
about Austrian symbolism.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh this was exactly where I met the painting</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that attacked me so strongly I simply could not move.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was almost terrified.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Still I can not look at this paining</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I mean postcard..)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for too long, because I finish completely out of tune.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Are you already curious?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ok, it was Bernatzik's <i>Eingang zum Paradeis</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't you know it?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, it is not famous or something.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WOGTZadZD00/U2_qJoyiWtI/AAAAAAAAHdw/j1o3dziS3Sg/s1600/vXe5ei7Xzr4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WOGTZadZD00/U2_qJoyiWtI/AAAAAAAAHdw/j1o3dziS3Sg/s1600/vXe5ei7Xzr4.jpg" height="203" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nothing special?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, just follow the way..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Follow it slowly, lose yourself there..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Still nothing?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then maybe it is just me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I should be writing about the exhibition</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
about Czech symbolism...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have not encountered Vienna deja vu, but</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I dipped inside the fairytale world with Aquariuses,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wizards...but also death and dark figures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let's finish with Baudelaire's quote</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>At last my soul explodes! "Anywhere! Just so it is out of the world!"</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(<a href="http://allpoetry.com/poem/8506075-Anywhere-Out-of-the-World-by-Charles-Baudelaire">all poem</a>)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
OUT of the world.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Zum paradeis</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

My red, red shoes...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But in fact I am not going to write about red shoes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I already did it <a href="http://princess-lladia.blogspot.com/2012/06/see-what-beautiful-dancing-shoes.html">here</a><br />
(I am fascinated by this motif)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if you want to check.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time I mostly want to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
share my new obsession.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two months ago</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(oh it's already two months!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started taking ballet lessons.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Cxi-JZUOShc/U11E2c_k7xI/AAAAAAAAHcc/Mhd1TdwUuDs/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Cxi-JZUOShc/U11E2c_k7xI/AAAAAAAAHcc/Mhd1TdwUuDs/s1600/6.jpg" height="184" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Pics are random,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will make better ones in the future)</div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Except the apparent senselessness of it,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
except being all busy..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I absolutely fell in love with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I try to do stretching and steps exercises everyday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes when being all angry or depressed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it helps so much...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Except my pure pleasure</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it also helps me to understand performances better.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I heard many times about all this "ballet corset",</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but now I know or rather feel what it means on myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is like touching the essence of this art.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am almost moved.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I’ve been dreaming that I was a ballerina, </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>and that I was spending my whole life dancing as lightly as a butterfly.</i></div>

My new clothes arrived :3</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I spent a few hours ironing them,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but here they are.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All my dear babes <3</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(my new strategy lately</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is ironing when listening</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to <i>Swan Lake </i>xD</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It somehow made the work</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
going smoothly ;) )</div>

I would like to post a few pics</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from my trip to Poznań.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went there for the conference about Asia</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for students and young scholars.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/notes/asiam-explorare/program-konferencji-asiam-explorare-2014/602679179828831">Program</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My luggage</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Anna Karenina</i> for the long way</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and my ballet shoes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to not miss my everyday's exercises</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(have I written here that </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started taking ballet lessons?) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7KmkmofnMTM/U0xfhSbJTeI/AAAAAAAAHQo/pe56cmZ7zfw/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7KmkmofnMTM/U0xfhSbJTeI/AAAAAAAAHQo/pe56cmZ7zfw/s1600/2.jpg" height="162" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The conference was really interesting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I listened to a lot of lectures</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which were about the part of Asia</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
rather far from my academic field</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and it is always so refreshing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For example about Gagauz people</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the symbol of wolf in their culture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is also worth mentioning </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that I met one <i>visual kei</i> fan</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which encouraged me</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to explore Takarazuka world closer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even thought I enjoyed the idea </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of this theater for a long time</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did not have time/ motivation to look at it closer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But oh gosh after seeing the character of Death</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in <i>Elisabeth</i> I feel fully motivated to change it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Death looking like Kamijo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am absolutely charmed by the idea of Death</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
looking like a beautiful, long-haired man</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
who continually follows my dear Sissi.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sissi longed for Death. She was fascinated by it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Was it because she imagined it as the delicate, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but dangerous man,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
mysterious and charming?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Kingdom of Dead</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with its secret charm</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
suited her better than</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Austrian Empire</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with stiff and plain Franz Joseph.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Watch this :3</div>

Oh, I was going to write about Poznan.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So a few pics.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course I could not miss it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so jealous!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Poznan has such a beautiful opera!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Perfectly located: close to the castle and park</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and classical in its forms with sophisticated interiors.</div>

<br />
Together with my aunt I went<br />
to see Wagner's <i>Parsifal</i>.<br />
And what can I say..<br />
this opera got the better of me.<br />
Maybe not even opera itself,<br />
but Wagner's music definitely did it.<br />
It was my first time hearing his music live<br />
and I am simply speechless.<br />
When hearing it on my computer and on tv<br />
it was always like<br />
<i>so that's Wagner, that's nice</i>,<br />
but live... omg it's so monumental, mighty..<br />
you simply feel like losing ground..<br />
I have no idea what the story was about...<br />
in fact the production design was poor,<br />
the same like costumes and singer's acting...<br />
so it only helped me to forget<br />
that this even has any plot..<br />
The music won it all.<br />
I just remember myself<br />
when looking at this gorgeous chandelier<br />
with the full surprise that it is still in its place.<br />
How can it bear all this power without<br />
the dramatic fall on the ground which this music deserved?<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Macaroni casserole</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with spinach (yes, I am addicted to spinach)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and blue cheese</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And something for breakfast:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
strawberry french toast</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with nutella</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I didn't have toast bread</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so they didn't turn out that good-looking,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but yummy :3 )</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the end:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
tart with mascarpone and strawberries.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This one was made for the 'party hard'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with my best friend</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(matching coffee liqueur made by her mom),</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but it was probably my biggest cooking failure</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so far...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The creme was not chilled enough,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because I did it on the last moment..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used different recipe for the tart dough</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and well...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway it at last looks pretty nice :3</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Probably you mostly know him,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I just want to make my blog more beautiful</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with those illustrations :3</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So Benjamin Lacombe's art</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His Madame Butterfly is just perfect</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can not even express</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
those strange sadness and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the sense of fragility that this art accumulates.</div>

Ballerina</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Look at her neck, shadow, legs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Absolutely amazing *.* </div>

So winter holidays are just about to end.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In fact they've already ended.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wipe my tears with sweet things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finally started learning baking cakes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my first cake I did by myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was yummy :3</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the effect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the curls,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but I feel (and look) strange</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
without my fringe.</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some daily pics :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like to post them for myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It makes me better remember</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
small moments.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But first of all:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Rusalka</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cinema transmission:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
live from Metropolitan Opera!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Raq5mGIgGdo/Uv_yr7b0zbI/AAAAAAAAHA8/4DUU7vHBK2I/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Raq5mGIgGdo/Uv_yr7b0zbI/AAAAAAAAHA8/4DUU7vHBK2I/s1600/2.jpg" height="174" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you ask me what kind of opera I like..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I say: this kind!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Met's <i>Rusalka</i> is just <b>this</b> type.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Beautiful and nostalgic music,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
unbelievable set design</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(sometimes you just forget that it is "just the stage") </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and costumes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And fairy tale atmosphere.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dark fairy tale-like.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The story very similar to <i>The Little Mermaid</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And Piotr Beczała as the prince.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And unforgettable <i>Song to the Moon</i>:.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still can not even speak about it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
without emotions...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Above all I remember one scene:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rusalka is left alone on dark castle stairs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She knows that the prince has left her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All is gone and they both can not escape </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from Jezibaba's curse...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At this moment</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you feel that she should sing a dramatic aria.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everything asks for this aria. Beg for it...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You almost hear it in your heart...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but she can not sing it loud,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because she has devoted her voice </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for Prince's love </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that is now gone.<br />
There is nothing left.<br />
Even aria can not be sung.<br />
Her pain can not even reach this kind of sense.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh this it too sad to even think about it...<br />
The lost voice of an opera heroine...<br />
it is like taking the essence of her...<br />
and taking it for nothing...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway: my outfit from this day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
