The Princess/ The Actress and The Singer....

Its fun living the 'Socialite life' here in Tirana....being privileged- my girlfriends and I; were invited to this celebration, any excuse to dress up / to see and be seen!!!!!!
 It was organised to co-incide with the anniversary of the wedding of King Zog and queen Geraldine, They desired to be on the European Royal Circuit, and the enlarged pictures are cica early 20th century
 A talented Milner from Kosovo wanted to recreate the era and her creations were paraded for us to enjoy, by actors singers and models






 The afternoon was a fun combo of speeches/ cat walk /string quartet and the usual 'Air Kissing'







 Most of the images you may have seen on my timeline, but the theme i wanted for this blog features the flow of the event., and I wanted to give a higher profile to featured hats , all the hard work that went in to the afternoon, the music and the mingling making it all rather memorable.....

Opulence and Delicacy.....

Over the last weeks I was happy enough to be included-with a  group of friends in a photo workshop with a professional fashion photographer and some great 'subjects' ...dancers at a ballet school and young musicians from the music academy Tirana.
here in this blog; a silent blog- are my favourites.....
the expertise/my expertise!!!! lol, is overshadowed obviously- first by the delicacy and fragility of these dancers, and then the opulence and grandeur of the music makers.
Here's hoping you share in the dance and hear the sound created....x










































































There is still...Beauty and Richness and Kindness and Vision and Friendships and Joy and ...God in all these qualities
Christ is risen for this purpose; have a wonderful Easter season
