Cher or Jesus? The tourist on the top of the world trade center,real? The Britney Spears body.. the girls with many hands... Everything just photoshop! The photoshop can be used for fun, to make good and bad jokes, to make art, to improve the way you look like and so on.
I always have fun with all of them, I wish I could have that skill to make a lot of jokes with my own pictures, of course, I would create art exploring all the possibilities, and also I would make fun with some friends, Madonna will be always by my side, I would be handsome,...hehehhehe
Anyway... photoshop can be something really cool for plastic arts and so on. By the way, I loved the monalisa´s new look!

Why Czech people love dogs? Time by time I get in shock with so much love with the dogs and so little kindness with the people. I have nothing against dogs, I love them if they do not jump on my sofa or bed, in Brazil dogs should be all the time in the garden, outside, of course, people cannot do the same here cause the weather would kill them. OK! Keep them inside of the house. BUT, be careful to do not live your life for a dog, giving so much unconditional love to something instead of loving people.
I have a friend who did not show at least a litter feeling of worry when his father had a surgery, but 2 weeks later his dog broke a leg and he was crying like crazy in Jam Café, of course, he and his parents did not go out together for some weeks because the dog could not be alone at home. Some people cancel meetings with friends, those who can talk, share feelings and so on because of the dogs. What the hell!!! Come on, dogs are dogs, animals, even they are cute, lovely, sweet and whatever, they are and will be always just dogs.
I am not criticizing people’s choices, NEVER! I just think that sometimes the people do not realize that life pass so fast and I see people unhappy and alone because they cannot interact with people, do not know how to find, keep and feed a relationship. So, they buy a dog and everything seems to be fine. Bullshit!
Yes, Love your dog, a lot, why not? But not only! Keep your dog in your sofa, but not only, it can´t be company to talk with you about anything. Sleep with your dog in your bed, cool, but not only, you can not have sex with him...at least you should not.
What I want to say? Well, if you give half of the attention and kindness to the people around you or to the people who cross your way daily, would be enough to make this world better. The world needs love, peace, tolerance, kindness... as much as the little dogs need!
Maria do Carmo Miranda da Cunha, better known by the stage name Carmen Miranda. (February 9, 1909 – August 5, 1955) was a Portuguese-Born Brazilian Samba singer and actress most popular in the 1940s and 1950s. Her family moved to Brazil shortly after her birth. Famous for promoting Brazil in her role as an entertainer, Miranda was a Broadway star, one of the highest-paid artists in Hollywood, and by some accounts the highest-earning woman in the United States. She achieved stardom in motion pictures, cast in musical roles and often wearing a hat topped with tropical fruit, which has become her iconic visual identity. She pursued a career as a samba singer for ten years before she was invited to New York to perform in a show on Broadway.Miranda made a total of fourteen Hollywood films between 1940 and 1953.
For her contribution to the motion picture industry, Carmen Miranda has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6262 Hollywood Boulevard. On September 25, 1998, a city square in Hollywood was named Carmen Miranda Square in a ceremony headed by long time honorary mayor of Hollywood. Miranda's enormous, fruit-laden hats are iconic visuals recognized around the world. Many costume jewellery designers made fruit jewellery also inspired by Carmen Miranda which is still highly valued and collectible by vintage and antique costume jewellery collectors. Fruit jewellery is still popular in jewellery design today. Much of the fruit jewellery seen today is often still fondly called "Carmen Miranda jewellery" because of this. The "Carmen Miranda" persona is popular among Female impersonators and Drag performers. The style was even emulated in animated cartoon shorts.
I named my dance group ALO ALO for many reasons and Carmen is one of them. She made two movies in Hollywood called Alô, Alô, Brasil and Alô Alô Carnaval. She also recorded a song called Alo Alo Responde, this one I use to play on our shows. The first samba recorded in history is called Pelo Telefone (by phone), Alo is the way we pick up the phone in Brazil and when you say ALO ALO is like to say Hello .So all those things together, Carmen, Phone, Alo, first samba and Alo as a way to say Hello made me decided for this name: ALO ALO!
A Brazilian contemporary dancer will be performing in Prague in few days. With Choreography of Thomas Lebrun and directed by Giselle Tápias, Flávia Tápias is an unusually gifted Brazilian dancer - a genuine natural talent. In her solos, she does not rely on her characteristic movement expression; she also combines it with video screening and a rich variety of sounds.
The performance will take place at Ponec Theatre on June 24thand 25th at 8 pm. Flávia will show us the piece On ne se connait pas encore mai and will be shown another 2 pieces in the same night, a group from Cyprus and another from Spain.
Well, for sure I will be there, it is not everyday that a Brazilian contemporary dancer are performing in Prague. I do not know her, do not know if she lives in Brazil and from where she got her dance education and experiences, I just see on the pictures that she has Carmen Miranda as inspiration, at least in the way she is dressing. Do you know who Carmen Miranda was? NO? Howwwwwwww is possible.... so, Let you know soon about her.
