After long days in my summer job, and I am not talking about part-time, I actually get the full 8 hours treatment everyday, I've decided to post about every single thing that came to my mind in these past weeks and what I have learned.
First, I would like to tell you about what my job is about. I am working at my mom's (is it mom or mum, I really can't get the difference) friend salon. He is a brilliant even genius Hairdresser and when I saying this I am not talking about those tacky self call "original" hairdressers that do the heads of the rich and famous...well he actually does the heads of the rich and famous, but since the rich are new rich
chic wanna be I think they doesn't count. The thing is, he is an artist and his works are truly pieces of art but I guess you would need to see to understand it, plus he is internationally famous. Back to my job...I am working and helping as a receptionist while one of the ladies who work there is on vacation.
It's incredible what I see everyday, those woman (and some man, the type who does his nails and pedicure but his mother still doesn't figure out why) are so fragile and insecure that they need to be arrogant to feel...loved ? or to have some attention ?
It's a bit sad, and I'm not writing this to be evil but just to make a point. To complete my theory I'm giving the example of the last
Michelle Pfeiffer movie. You may think it's very light, but it actually has a message undercover in such subtle way. What's the value of our appearance if in the inside we are ugly or simply poor (that is even worst) ? I mean, you can be labeled or Fashion head to toe (and still don't have any class or attitude) and feel so miserable and poor inside, what is that doing to you ? When we get old, beauty vanish. If you are a truly beautiful person, the complete package, your wrinkles will resplendent your natural beauty because you inner self shines. Botox can't do that for you. Its all inside.
Talking about this, I will take the opportunity to talk about a book that intrigantes me
The Secret. When I first knew about it I thought " OH NO! A Da Vinci code of self help ", after some truly interesting people teach me more about the real meaning of it and after I got over the shock of the horrible graphic Design (at least the Portuguese version can't get any cornier), I start reading it with an open spirit, it couldn't hurt, right ? Well...I fond out that...my life philosophy is in such good direction. I advise any one to ready it. I am certainly not talking about the miracles and blah blah blah but about the fact that we control our lives and positive thoughts attract good things.
Other thing that I have learned this weeks is, even though they don't read Oscar Wilde or Marcel Proust or even John Ruskin, the ladies who I work with love to read, and that is curious. How come some "rich" or considered rich people don't really understand how reading its so important to the human being. Books are the friends we would not meet in our regularly bases. The experiences we would not get in these lifetime.
By the end of this post I feel like those nerdy pseudo Intellectuals but also happy that I actually could write about something that doesn't include fashion as the Star of my blog. I like fashion, but these days I guess you can take good care of your appearance and look gorgeous just by being natural.
P.S.- Ok ok....Zara fall collection it's BRILLIANT! I needed to pass this news. To all addicted people like me, this is the revenge for the horrible last season of boring collections. I bought a blazer that is really like the Balenciaga runway prep look with those horrible heel shoes that look like mountain boots. HOW CAN ANY ONE LIKE THAT !?!??!?!??! Clearly these high heel trend is for people who don't walk all day in the streets, and live in a city where there isn't up and down roads (San Francisca style with Portuguese street floor...all those little holes in the sidewalk are so gooooood for pumps).
I guess it's all for my lovely Friday Doodles. Have a pleasant weekend and....I AM SO ENJOYING MY FREE MANICURE; PEDICURE AND FREE HEADWASH WITH MASSAGE AND HYDRATATING MASK...muahahahahha!
OH! And one more thing, the only thing the human being needs besides good health, is work. I feel so happy now that I am really working. It is the most gratifying experiences I had since I win my first match at fencing (not that I got first place or anything...but it felt good any way).
