Besame, Besame Mucho

Some days can only be salvaged

by kissing 

in black and white.

“Our love of each other was like two long shadows kissing without hope of reality.” Anais Nin 

 A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.
~ Ingrid Bergman

 If you are ever in doubt as to whether to kiss a pretty girl, always give her the benefit of the doubt.
~Thomas Carlyle

  
A kiss that is never tasted, is forever and ever wasted.
~ Billie Holiday

sweet kiss

Kiss me,
Kiss me and tell me everything,
will soon be okay,
Kiss me slowly
One more kiss to keep me,
sane
The kiss of passion

 ~ Maria Luisa Taylor

 Always kiss your children goodnight, even if they're already asleep.
~ H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

 Besame,
besame mucho
como si fuera ésta noche
la última vez

Besame, besame mucho
que tengo miedo a perderte
perderte después

Alyssa Miller for Harpers Bazaar Turkey

Sometimes all you need is a big bold lip.

Other times all you need is great lingerie.

But the best times combine the two... 

How do you say "can you even handle the hottness?"

in Turkish??

Lady Fendi ~ Citizen K Magazine

How clever and glamorous and fun is this?

Lady Fendi ~ Citizen K Magazine

For the new issue of Citizen K Magazine

photographer Alice Rosati shoots 

model Rose Smith as the very fabulous

pastel coiffed Lady Fendi,

tooling around what appears to be London

dressed in top to toe Fendi, and adorned

with the brand's signature bags.

 As the aloof aristocrat she breathes elegant excess

and regal entitlement, and leaves me wondering

can one really survive the winter without that yellow cloak???
