Ticket, book and A Midsummer Night's Dream

Lately I am in a little strange state:

I feel like I need a break from buying clothes for a while.

So here is my present for Saint Nicholas Day from my grandma.

Yes, I know that it is (a little XD) too early,

but well in December tickets would be sold out...

So my ticket for The Nutcracker ballet :3

And my dream book.

Biiig history of fashion :3

To not spam with the next post

I will also write about a play 

I saw a few days ago:

A Midsummer Night's Dream.

As you probably know it was based on Shakespeare's play, 

but well... it was performed as the part of new forms' festival 

so it was not made in a traditional way. 

I will skip explaining details about differences' with the book, 

because I do not see any point in it. 

I have a little different remarks to state. 

It was performed by Italian group (Teatro Gioco Vita & Imperfect Dancers)

in the form of shadow theater with Mendelssohn music.

The form was really beautiful and full of potential. 

Usually I say that beautiful forms are enough. Now I can add: no, not always. 

Specially... for this kind of play it was definitely not enough.

A Midsummer Night's Dream.. Dream, right? 

This play was visually beautiful, 

but please tell me where is the atmosphere of the dream? 

Shadows were such a good chance to create a masterpiece, but they were not a guaranty for it.

Choreography destroyed it all. Dance was too heavy, too close to the ground. 

All evanescence was gone. 

 Just the nice wrapping was left. 

Shakespeare's genius disappeared somewhere on the way. 

I was just watching pretty images. 

I can not explain what I expected, but I really expected it. 

Story got blurred and the essence was distorted. 

I can not understand all these applause people showed after the show. 

Anyway I still enjoyed it.

Anyway it made me borrow the book. Got sunk in all this magic. 

From today-

during gap between lectures.

Coffee, muffin and A Midsummer Night's Dream.

The conference about toys

Today I took part in the conference about toys^^

It was organised by the studies I have already graduated from.

Visiting this place made me...

no, no I skip this stupid talk!

On the conference

I spoke about Dollfie.

My dark prince Seimu

accompanied me of course^.^

Here we are together^^

I chose my clothes to suit him.

After the conference: ice cream!

In a cafe.

Seimu teaches me how to have a disdain for all world XD

An Cafe concert

Feel like I should write at least a few words about An Cafe concert.

Emotions are still vivid in me, but it can't be taken as an obstacle this time.

Even exactly the opposite.

These are not strongly hysterical feelings

which make me walk somewhere on nine cloud

(or in a hell...well sometimes these two are really close to each other). 

No, no.

It is just a pure joy.

 Nyappy is really back and still has a big potential to entertain us. 

Maybe I was not taken inside the crowd... maybe I was not immersed in a general craze. 

But I still fully enjoyed it with a big biiig smile during the all gig.

My inner teenage fangirl was satisfied, but also current me had a real fun!

They are such lovely babies and watching their stage behavior was so involving!

How natural Miku is in everything he does on the stage! 

How cool Kanon can behave (and he is aware of it XD). 

A little shy Takuya with his unsure face expressions! 

Oh Yuki... a real stage king. 

And Teruki – who make you feel like he is your friend from neighborhood.

Their songs do not reach my mind. 

They are not able to lead me into the beautiful world of melancholy 

and a breath- taking deepness, 

but well...they are capable of touching the innocent part of my heart 

which is free from any life's ambivalence.

Maybe it is even more difficult.

Thank you guys. 

I can't speak Polska 

– said Miku and his words will turn into a legend in our fandom. 

You don't need to – would be my answer – You have better ways to communicate with us. 

My nyappy bag^^ 

Looks like a child hereXD

Japanese traditional music concert

Yesterday we went on Japanese traditional music concert. 

Matsumoto Baisho played on shamisen and shakuhachi.

His wife accompanied him with singing.

Beside professional and very emotional music 

Mister Matsumoto amused us with his sense of humour.

Outfits from this day^^

Classic ladies :3

BTW yesterday was Polish independence day.

Shamisen concert?

How patriotic! XD

Wawel, Xmas tree and some daily spam

All week without blogging?!

Such a shame!

What's going in my life?

First: Lestat <3

I have tons of books to read, 

but I read Vampire Chronicles again >.<

Reality seems successively lost again :3

In my isolation now I dream of finding some sweet young thing 

in a moonlighted chamber-one of those tender teenagers, 

as they call them now, who read my book and listened to my songs; 

one of the idealistic lovelies who wrote me fan letters on scented paper, 

during that brief period of ill-fated glory, talking of poetry

and the power of illusion, saying she wished I was real; 

I dream of stealing into her darkened room, where

maybe my book lies on a bedside table, with a pretty velvet marker in it, 

and I dream of touching her shoulder and smiling as our eyes meet. 

"Lestat! I always believed in you. I always knew you would come!"

I clasp her face in both hands as I bend to kiss her. 

"Yes, darling," I answer, "and you don't know how I need you, 

how I love you, how I always have.

(Queen of the damned)

What's more?

My love for ballet seems growing more and more.

<3

Lately I was making order in court ballet dancers' costumes

(I am making my internship in the Institute of Court Ballet)

and I could touch all these gorgeous outfits.

I am sure that I was born in wrong era >.<

This thought does not want to leave my mind.

Movie for this week: 

Charlie and the Chocolate factory^^

Isn't this film like a childhood dream coming true?

Everything on this pic is eatable.

This is the place that every child would sell their soul for XD

Last thing:

I just want to say thank you for 

the person who made this valentine.

It made me so happy ^^

And now: something from yesterday^^

Our cultural group went to visit Wawel castle^^ 

(just part of the group)

Then Halloween after- party ^.^

(these lollipops were sold out 

on Halloween so after-party was a must-do...)

Then: FLO.

They already have Christmas decorations!

Just look:

*heart attack*

Ballet Christmas tree *.*

The ballet's magic and Christmas have

a lot in common, haven't they? ^.^

Sunrise, sunset...

Yesterday I went with my friend to visit a cemetery.

It looks so beautiful at All Soul's Day in the evening.

Darkness plays with light

showing you part of old stones,

letters of names that belonged to people

who are already forgotten.

Silly and childish thoughts about vampires
were mixed with inexpressible feelings
showing how full of absurd life is.

Is there any way to stop

overwhelming sadness

which brings control over you
without any direct reason?

And what more important:
why people do not even try to escape from these feelings,
but do their best to immerse in it even deeper?


Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
(my song for today)

Hipster Princess anti-Halloween

Started my day with reading 

Queen of the Damned (again... ...th time?).

As you probably remember in the beginning 

Lestat mentions his concert

which took place on Halloween:

Happy Halloween, vampire boys and girls.

We shall see you at the concert.

We shall see that the Vampire Lestat never leaves it.

Lestat's concert?

Dream that will never be accomplished?

Perfect Halloween is beyond my reach.

Contestation by wearing pink!

Just joking.

The real inspiration were Hipster Disney Princesses.

Hipster princesses

Apple latte

At home we continued 

our rebellion against Halloween.

Watching ponies and eating pink sweets.

Well... but Luna eclipsed ep has

quite Halloween atmosphere^^

Then: watching Nightmare before Christmas.

Love this movie :3

In fact I love Halloween.

When I think about it 

I have always something like

Tim Burton's movies on my mind.

For the end chocolate pumpkin :3

Happy Halloween

vampire boys and girls :3

I go to listen to Nightmare before Christmas soundtrack

and reading my new book about dolls ^^
