*On a much lighter note...*

If you read this blog, you know I love zebras and guess what, I love black and white cows too! (I see a theme coming on, don't you?)......they are, in my view, perfect decorating accessories - wish I could have one in my living room and just move it around from time to time, like a bookshelf!

There are blogs which lead you to great fashion finds, offer advice on how to have shiny hair or a weed-free lawn.....
-my gift to you today: the following advice - when you are blue and feeling lost, take a "ride" through Flickr - just type in a word that comes to your mind and enjoy...stumbling onto your computer screen will be hundreds and hundreds of photos from around the world - interesting photos, sometimes touching, sometimes funny, sometimes unbelieveably beautiful...such "photo travels" can be very therapeutic and inspiring....Bonne Chance!

Olympic Fashion

There is always room for style and elegance, even in sport....for his 1960 gold medal performance, David Jenkins chose classic black and white. I sooo approve!

In 1998, Philippe Candeloro chanelled a neighbour, perhaps, to the north of his homeland, France...it garndered him a bronze medal....hey, what does a Frenchman wear under his kilt?

Ilya Kulin (Russia) won gold that same year, and despite his highly questionable attire choices, including this one..... did he dress in the dark?

 

In 2002, you either loved or hated the Apolo Anton Ohno "support beard"...who knows, maybe it helped sprinkle him with the "top of the podium" dust?!

Young Australian snowboarder, Torah Bright, is not afraid to wear rhinestone studded goggles...you go girl!!  Let's hope we will see her on the podium in the next few days!
