Chinese costume..Han Fu..

I find Chinese dress extremely elegant and very refined. I would have loved to have lived in a time when etiquette and manners were of the utmost importance. I believe that dress, fine dining and poetry are a great way to express our love to the ones that we are closest too. It is a shame that a lot of these customs have been traded in for a completely casual lifestyle, with fast food, fast relationships and everything with the word fast on the end of it advocated as the new God.
I would love to make gong fu cha for my husband and wear han fu for him. One day maybe my dream will come true, who knows..
Here is an icon of beauty for you to enjoy. I dedicate this to my Lover, my Jia Wu, across the ocean.

I AM SEEING RED..

Well as the world is going Green, inevitably due to global warming, I often see a lot of Red when it comes to China. It is a very auspicious colour and apart from the flag being a bright star studded red..on every special occasion, you are guaranteed to be smothered in this most passionate colour. People claim that the Chinese are quite cool but apparently they wear passion on their sleeves, they don't need to delve deep into their Psyche to find it. They have it all..and that glowing passion. So my parting gift from my Beloved Jia Wu was a bright shocking red dress..and boy do I love wearing red now! Red lanterns, red lipstick and a crimson imagination...
I will be dreaming red tonight..
