something about them, & japanese art


Above: Daphne Guinness, Corrine Bailey Rae, Keri Hilson, Helena Bonham Carter
One's a Fashionista, The middle two are singers and the last an actress, but don't you think theres something unusually impressive about them all? None of them are classically beautiful, and yet they keep you looking at there photo's for literally minutes
(doesn't sound impressive, but who looks at photos of celebrities for more than a few seconds usually?)

It has been pointed out by close friends that, when it comes to art, i tend to identify strongly with my half oriental roots. It is not so much a love of Asia, but more a love of the simplistic, timeless elegance and creative freedom which seems to run parallel to the fussiness of western art.
In my room, i have a print of the above Kawasaki piece, the ethereal imagery something i doubt i shall ever grow tired of.
So Yes, in a way i do often choose the east over the west, but then they do so many things, so much better, having said that, i thank my lucky stars I'm half English and have grown up here, Over & Out!
