Paris Fashion Houses of 1910 Video

This is my latest Vintage Fashion Video for my YouTube channel CHARMAINEZOE. It is a collection of original photographs showing the Salons of eminent designers of the Belle Epoque period in Paris, including Paquin, Worth, Doucet, Callot Sisters etc. There are many shots of the various salons themselves as well as the fashions of the period, but also a large number of behind the scenes shots showing the actual design and construction of the gowns including sewing rooms, cutting rooms, embroiderers rooms etc, which are a wonderful insight into the life of these famous Salons.

Watch the Complete Royal Wedding Ceremony Video

I've spent the entire day watching coverage of the Royal Wedding and it's been one of the nicest days of TV I've seen in a long time. The crowds were huge, having such fun and so good humored, and when we finally got to see William and Katherine they both looked stunning! Kate's dress was really beautiful and very elegant. Her sister Philippa (Pippa) looked stunning in her very elegant sheath dress as well, and she did a great job as Maid of Honour. The little Bridesmaids and Pageboys looked terrific and behaved beautifully.

I thought the ceremony was beautiful and of course the setting of the ancient Westminster Abbey, which is over 1,000 years old was sublime. I spent some time watching the celebrity guests and foreign Royalty arriving and spotted a very handsome looking David Beckham, with Victoria wearing a very pretty little pillbox type hat. Also spotted Elton John and David Furnish looking very dapper.

Here is the complete ceremony for you to enjoy if you missed it.

Having Fractal Fun!

I've been playing around and having some fun with some fractal images I created in Sterling 2 a while back. Below is my original work that I call 'The Chalice', and below that is a neon effect version in stunning scarlet. BTW a detail of the original 'Chalice' is available as a card from 'Kaleidoscope Kreations' my store on Zazzle.com
