Glamour, seduction and the hat! Paintings by Tamara De Lempicka



Women on Tamara's canvas are irresistibly sexy through their confident look, elegant poise and sophisticated dress. I love how the hat creates a tantalizing shadow over each of their face and how harmoniously it goes with either simple or glamourous dress.

What a beauty the artist is! See the resembleness between her look and those in her paintings...

Well, yeah..maybe I should do knitting sometimes.

Mexico, Durango, 1960. Audrey's knitting during a break in John Huston's movie 'The Unforgiven'

Once in a while, my periodical impulse of trying something really cool and fun always drives me out of my bed, well, so to speak, my desk plus occasional coffee/brunch table, onto streets, parks, zoos, restaurants, flea markets, garages....any weird places you name it:) But knitting at a street corner has never occured to me as cool or sexy or fuuun (isn't it a kinda handwork associates with my dear granny? It doesn't even count as craftsmanship, right?)...untill I find these yummy yarning pictures with girls in such an easy, mellow, elegant look coupled with incredibly simple, casual yet stylish outfits. Wow, it absolutely changed my mindset of knitting forever!! Yes, yeah, it can be fun and cool and sexy as long as you enjoy it as long as you know exactly what your own style is and as long as you are being yourself in the moment :-)
