"FreeDom"

Houston, Texas, United States

Who am I??? I am the type of person who loves to dream.

My mind is constantly drifting from the beginning of the vision,

forwarding to the result of it,

right back to the beginning

to put things in motion.

So I find that balance between my dreams and reality.

My imaginative mind gives me the ability to be creative

(especially in forms of art...

from photography, to flowers,love, dance and music.)

(Also a special art form with words as well).

Im very affectionate and sentimental.

I am compassionate and many people value my opinion.

I also enjoy embracing family values...

to experience a memorable experience for yourself,

email me or feel free to leave feedback here,

or wherever the spirit moves you!

Let's Go!

" Close ur eyes, picture this"

~New York Citi,

walkin down a residential sidewalk in Manhattan ,

stars are illuminating the sky,

with its Midnite richBlu settin the backdrop,

for a full bright moon to light the path,

of a blissful louv,

gracefully aboarding the souls of he and she...

arm n arm, pupil 2 pupil...

the chemistry of a burning furnace in a seducing log cabin,

with a frost of aspen snow, to bring the heat to a cool chill if need be.

A calming black Ocean all you see is the V from the moonlight,

hittin upon its illuminating wave pattern,

silhouettes of thee of white linens sheer free flowing drapes,

that moves to the choreographed motions from the wind,

that our Creator ,

who has allowed and orchestrated this evening,

ushered into pure,

Perfection........

The Archer

As my birthday is approaching, I thought I would share a little about my sign. I've extracted some basic information from the web about The Archer. Elemental Quality *Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign of the zodiac. Fire changes substances and Sagittarians have a knack of transforming negative situations with their optimism. Mutable means adaptable. Sagittarians can adapt to almost any situation. The Sagittarian Personality General *Enjoys freedom of thought & travel *Will laugh about her misfortunes & mistakes, even while she is upset or in pain *Is angry if her integrity is questioned *Can be deceived in romance, but is rarely misled in other areas of life *Enjoys taking risks, both physical & intellectual *Is often unconventional in relationships *Sticks by her own, very clear moral standards *Can be cuttingly sarcastic when hurt *Regards herself & all others as equals Positive *Frank & Open *Optimistic & freedom-loving *Sees The Best In People *Honest *Enthusiastic *Inspiring *Disarmingly Happy *Stimulating *Happy-go-lucky *Holds No Grudges Negative *Argumentative *Critical To Those Who Deny Their Talents *Irresponsible & superficial *Tactless & Restless *Hotheaded *Fails To Plan Adequately *Denies Sadness *Careless *Impatient To Be Moving *Unemotional *Inside anyone who has strong Sagittarian influences is a person who wants to be free. Possessive partners, conservative thinkers, and bureaucrats with whom Sagittarius comes into contact should be aware of this. *Sagittarius are not emotional moody people, in fact, they can be downright emotionally detached but they get irritable when they are bored. Sagittarius is optimistic & positive, even deep inside because they believe that no matter what has happened, something good is always around the corner and the sun will always shine again. *Sagittarius are not emotional people but they are easily hurt by a careless selfish action, they will be blue but turn it around pretty quickly with their naturally sunny disposition. They don't dwell on hurt because it is a waste of their energy. *Sagittarius can be reckless and irresponsible because they will jump at a suggestion of something new before they weigh the advantages & disadvantages.

Sagittarius and Love

1. To Sagittarius, love is a romantic adventure. When in love, their behaviour is inventive, needs good intellectual compatibility, is totally honest with the loved one, enjoys the physical pleasures of love, is happy when he or she is loved and is very generous and good-natured.

2. In love, a typical Sagittarius expects to feel secure in love, expects the loved one to be honest, expects to retain freedom of movement, expects never to be falsely accused of philandering and expects to stimulate, amuse, and be enjoyed by the loved one.

3. However, if a partner is possessive or jealous of Sagittarius, the relationship will begin to crack. Eventually, these pressures will cause Sagittarius to simply pack up & move on.

Sagittarius and Sex

**A typical Sagittarius regards sex as another adventure to be enjoyed and explored. They are champions of one-night-stands because it feels good and you don't have to worry about the other person being clingy afterwards. Sagittarians tend to take a chance on love, and they enter a relationship with the same recklessness that they display in their activities. In the relationship, he or she will be warm and loving and a wonderful companion.

**Sagittarians normally enjoy a lot of touching and cuddling - a good, warm, loving hug is their form of a security blanket. Common intellectual interests are equally essential to the success of any long-term sexual relationship. With Sagittarius, anything goes. They are uninhibited, ready to make love on impulse and are not impressed with delaying tactics, or feeble, wimpy attempts to win their favours. Sagittarians are as open about their desires & sexual needs as they are about everything else. Squeamish & conservative need not apply!

**Erogenous Zone: The thighs are very sensitive, tickle the inner thigh or nibble lightly on the skin. Incorporate thigh stroking into foreplay and you will have ignited their fire.

Sagittarius as a Partner - Woman

Frank & friendly, a Sagittarius woman wants a partner who can love her for her outspoken charm, not wilt under it. Her words & actions will always show what she is thinking and feeling, so a potential partner should be quite clear about their feelings. Sagittarian women are neither coy nor evasive, and will want a partner who does not play silly mind games. In marriage or in business, a partner must always ask her to do something, never tell her. However, she will respond to hints.

Physical Appearance - Female

Body: Strongly built and energetic - movement is normally quick, although not always graceful. *Either tall and athletic in appearance, or shorter with a sturdier body. Excess weight can be a problem, as Sagittarius is ruled by expansive, jovial, life-loving Jupiter. Head: Large, well-shaped skull with a high, broad forehead. *Uses hands and arms to make broad, sweeping gestures. *Bright, intelligent, and sparkling eyes which often twinkle with good humor.

Sagittarius and Friends Positive factors *Sagittarius make excellent friends because of their encouraging, positive nature and their kind heart will do anything to make sure their friend is happy. They do not interfere with other people's plans and they are never possessive or jealous.

*Sagittarians are friendly, gregarious people who accepts any friend who matches up to their own personal standards. They will defend a friend with great loyalty, but they will also say exactly what they think.

*Sagittarius are excellent conversationalists with a good sense of humor, sometimes their humor is the raw truth, but these people speak their mind and don't hold anything back. What they say is what they mean, Sagittarius do not like mind games, it holds them back trying to figure out what is meant, they like straightforwardness and expect it in return.

*Sagittarians have friends from many walks of life. Among those are likely to be both men & women, straight & gay people, a range of ages, and a mixture of ethnic groups; they will all be treated as equals. Sagittarians respond to all calls of help. They will lend a friend money without expecting to be repaid; they take in stray animals and stray people and will support any cause in the name of friendship. Negative factors

*Close friendship with just one or two people is not the Sagittarian norm. In fact, anyone who tries to get too familiar with or takes advantage of the Sagittarian natural friendliness may be stuck by the fiery rocket of Sagittarian temper. They generally fight with words, as sharp as darts, but some may also use their fists.

What it's like to Date a Sagittarius Woman She has a great attitude and always seems to be on the go. Sagittarius woman is for the man with lots of energy and creativity. She likes unconventionality and change, so whisk her away last second to somewhere unplanned and uncharted and she will remember you forever. In order for her to stay, you have to keep her happy. If she gets unhappy or bored, she won't bother to fix any problems, she will just walk out and never look back. Fortunately, it is not that difficult to keep her happy. Be her friend, she does not take love seriously anyway, if you are her companion, love will blossom after that. Let her have her freedom, flirt with her and take the relationship slowly, do not rush her. Be truthful, genuine, positive and adventurous and never play mind games. The lucky man will not only have a wonderful fun relationship but an adventurous companion as well.

How to Attract Sagittarius *Talk to them *Ask them questions about themselves, share stories, make them laugh but do not pry into intimate details about their life *Keep your emotional distance and they will be attracted to you *Suggest an outdoor date, something wild & wacky like floating on a boat down the river then having a picnic by the riverside, anything. They love activities. *These are the easiest people to get a date with but don't think that this is written in stone, they are the biggest commitment phobic of all zodiac signs.

*Sagittarians can be passionately attracted to a partner instantly, but just as easily become bored as they need constant stimulation to fan the flames of desire. *A possible partner's sexual attractions can be irresistible, however with experience they will look for other qualities, someone whose intelligence matches their own, and with whom they can be friends as well as lovers. Sagittarian Loves *Travelling (true) *Food & drink (doesn't everyone?) *Perfumes & beauty aids (true) *Parties, flirting (true, but Sagittarians do not flirt with just anyone) Sagittarian Hates *Silly mind games (Definitely hate it) *Disapproval from others (Well, yeah...) *Making promises (this one is not so high on the list, depends who Sagittarius is making the promises to) *Tight clothes (eh?) *Having their honesty doubted (Yep, this one will hurt a Sagittarius) ___________________________________________________________________

http://www.sagittariusbirthday.com/index.html A Sagittarius woman lacks tact and her flat, on-the-face statements may make you feeling like running away from her. Then, suddenly, she will say something so charming that you will feel as if you are on the seventh heaven. There, you go again! You will be trapped in her charm once more. Once you have been enamored by a Sagittarius girl, you will be staying with her for a long time. She is pleasant, friendly, outspoken and very talkative. Her forthrightness comes form the fact that she has no illusions about the world.

She sees it exactly as it is and says what she sees. At times, you may wish that she were not so honest. But then, she would be like any other girl, wouldn’t she? In all probability, you will not like it. A Sagittarian female is very optimistic, but she is not irrational. She will judge the entire situation as per the facts, analyze its probable outcome and still believe that things will get better. Usually, she is very calm and composed. However, when you become rude to her or offend her, she may become like the fire-spitting dragon.

Sagittarius women are quite independent and love their freedom. They are attached to their family, but not too much. If you want to get something done from a Sagittarian female, just ask her; don’t order. She will never ever do it. She is your better half and don’t you dare forget that. On the other hand, she doesn’t want a sissy for a husband or boyfriend. He has to be a real man, who has his ego and won’t stand for nonsense. So, you will be expected to balance politeness with firmness.
I know it’s difficult – but then, since when was winning someone easy. With a Sagittarius girl, you will never have to guess. She says what she thinks and how she acts shows what she feels. This bluntness may cost her heavily at times, even to the point of ending the relationship. Still, she would act as if she’s not hurt at all and it is just one of the many harmless flirtations she’s had. People will even believe all this, while inside she will be weeping and nursing her wounds. All this time, she will be analyzing what went wrong and when.

The word ‘marriage’ makes a Sagittarian female a little nervous and you will need to tempt her in order to make her settle down. She is a little hard to catch and tends to be one of the boys all the time. That doesn’t mean she looks or acts like a man! Infact, she is as female as any other girl is. The society and its norms do not matter to her. She can never be the hypocrite that some people are and tend to wiggle a few tongues. Her honesty and brusqueness further add to the negative opinions.

Don’t be fooled by them. Look deep inside a Sagittarius female and you will find a woman who is so enthusiastic about life and who trusts easily. Infact, this extreme belief makes her heart vulnerable and defenseless. It gets broken too often, but then, she knows how to move on with life. You will be tempted to care for her. It’s natural. There are hardly any people who can resist the bright and charming disposition of a Sagittarius girl. She will not be too good with money and will most probably be on the extravagant side.

She is very sentimental and emotional, though it seems otherwise. It just that, where her feelings are concerned, she becomes too shy. After marriage, your house will always remain sparkling clean, even if you don’t have a maid to do that. She cannot stand sloppiness, it doesn’t appeal to her sensibilities. She may not be too good at cooking, but she will also not burn your egg every day. A Sagittarian girl may pass the most sarcastic comments when she is angry, but she will forget the resentment soon enough. Then, she won’t understand why you are so upset.
As a mother, she will be very friendly with the kids. Infact, she will be more of a chum, than a mom. Only, you will have to teach them to take her bluntness with a pinch of salt. Apart from that, she will be wonderful and make them as independent as she is. She will be a lovely hostess to guests and make them feel at home. Just let her be what she is. Don’t try to change her and don’t curb her individuality. She will brighten your life with her optimism, boost you with loyalty, trust you blindly and shower her affection on you. She will encourage you to see dreams and help you in making them come true!

To this, Amen!

We thank you Lord Jesus for a Desperate time such as NOW! We thank you for Maia Cambell Lord, We come to you Lord asking for your Mercy over her! We ask you to take control over her mind Lord. We intercede on her behalf to lift her up in Prayer to you God! Please take her, shake her with fear of you Lord But also give her a Fresh new Anointing that will release her demons back to satan in his darkness. And shine a fresh new light in her, to bring her back to you God! Show her the purpose you have for her! Let her know its Never too late! As long as she can breathe the air that Only you allow her to breathe, she can still fulfill her Divine Purpose! Let her know Heaven is in her too!

Amen!

I pray for the person that has taken time out of their busy day to take a moment and care for someone else. And I pray a very fresh new anointing over Ur lives as well. For everyday brings fresh new fruit, ripe and ever soo sweet! And that fruit ripens to Fresh new Blessings! I pray for your Desires that line up with God, come to a full stage of manifestations.... I pray for your families and i bind all strongholds and Generational curses that don't edify the Kingdom! I pray that your relationship with Christ strengthens and you too can have your own Intimate relationship with God in his Sovereignty! I love you and GOD surely do too! Go in Peace because I come in Peace! receive this into your spirit today! Amen!

Open yourself to the truth of who you are, and you open yourself to that purpose. Allow that purpose to inspire you, connect with it, and tap into its undeniable power.Express that purpose with a dream that is too big and too wonderful and too meaningful to abandon. With a big enough dream, anything is possible.-- Ralph Marston

What Happens To People Who Never Hear The Gospel Of Jesus Christ?

2010-06-08T19:53:00.000-05:00

What Happens To People Who Never Hear The Gospel Of Jesus Christ?

Posted in End Times : scripture reference:
Psalms 19
Romans 8:20-32
What happens to those people who never hear about Jesus Christ?
Is God actively reaching out to them?
What if there are some people that never do hear about Jesus?
Have you ever heard questions like these when you talk to someone about Christ?
They are actually some really great questions!
What does happen to those who have never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ?
Or, for that matter, what happens to children who die at birth?
What about someone who is severely mentally impaired from birth and can't even communicate at all?
What is their standing before God?

Well, for starters, we know God is a God of perfect love AND of perfect justice. The Scriptures tell us that God only holds us responsible for what we know:
"If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin."-John 15:22

God also tells us that it is apparent from what has been made that He exists:
"The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened."-Romans 1:18-22

So that tells us a couple things.
First of all, you don't have to worry about the 2 year old baby who dies.
God is perfectly just and we don't have to worry at all that he will ever be unjust. When all is said and done, we will see that the judgment of God has been absolutely perfect.
Secondly, if you are reading this, you are without excuse.

The reality of God is completely apparent to you.

You need to make a decision about Jesus Christ.

Heaven and hell are real.

God does judge people, and if you are reading this, then you will stand before God to be judged someday.
If you do not believe that the Scriptures clearly teach that God judges people, then you need to read this recent article of ours: Does The God Of The New Testament Really "Judge" People?

But there is good news.
The truth is that if people are truly reaching out for God, then God will find a way to reach out to them.
Even in countries where there are no churches and where there is very little knowledge of Jesus, God is actively reaching out to those who earnestly seek Him. In some of the least Christian areas of the world, it has almost become commonplace for Christ to appear in dreams and visions to those who are truly seeking him.
Here are some amazing stories from some Muslims who have come to Christ in extraordinary ways:

Muslims Tell ... "Why I chose Jesus"
I had a Dream...

For someone who has not had extended exposure to Muslim-background believers in Christ, probably the most striking surprise is the powerful role that dreams and visions have played in drawing people to Jesus. Though dreams may play an insignificant role in the conversion decisions of most Westerners, over one-fourth of those surveyed state quite emphatically that dreams and visions were key in drawing them to Christ and sustaining them through difficult times. Rick Love, International Director of Frontiers, has recognized the pattern as well. He writes that, "Just as God used a vision to convert Paul, in like manner He reveals Himself to Muslims through dreams and visions. Just as God prepared Cornelius to hear the Gospel through a vision, so God is preparing a multitude of Muslims to respond to His good news."

One believer from Guinea recounts the dream of a figure whom he later believed to be Christ. The figure was in a white robe, calling the man to come to Him. In a related dream, he recalls that the same figure's arms were extended, beckoning him. Dreams of this type have become recognized as a pattern of work among Muslims. Though there are variations, Christ appearing in a white robe is a recurring image among those who have had dreams and visions. Similarly, a Muslim Malay woman was drawn by a vision she had of her Christian parents who had died. She saw them rejoicing with others in heaven. Jesus, appearing in a white robe, said, "If you want to come to me, just come." Feeling that she had tried her entire life to reach God without success, she now saw God initiating the effort to reach her through Jesus.

A convert from the Middle East who had been afflicted with severe headaches was lying on his bed after having prayed for his sick son. A man with a beautiful, peaceful face appeared. Dressed in white, the figure walked to the head of the man's bed and touched him three times on the head. The next morning his headaches were gone. His son, too, was fully healed. Understandably, he now recounts with confidence, "I believe in prayer in the name of the Christ."

The great majority of dreams seem to fall into one of two broad categories. The first could be considered the preparatory dream. Like Christ appearing in a white robe, the vision confirms thoughts or conversations one has been having about Christ or the Christian faith. The second could be called the empowering dream. Here the dream or vision commonly gives the believer strength in the face of persecution. Short of persecution, it may embolden believers, strengthening the nature of their witness.

Preparatory

One Sunni woman from the Arabian Peninsula had a figure appear to her in a dream, telling her to visit a Christian woman she knew. The figure, who she was later convinced was Christ, told her this woman would teach her.

In a fascinating twist on God's use of dreams and sleep, one Algerian recounted how she heard her sleeping Muslim grandmother say, "Jesus is not dead. I want to tell you He is here."

A West African man recounts a succinct, yet powerful vision he had prior to conversion. He saw a devout Muslim in hell and a poor Christian who couldn't afford to give alms in heaven. A voice explained to him that the difference was belief in Jesus.

Empowering Dreams

A North African believer found the needed strength to face his imprisonment from a dream he had while imprisoned for his faith. In it, he saw thousands of believers pouring through the streets of his city, openly proclaiming their faith in his restricted country. While in prison, he was tortured, suspended upside-down naked for hours, beaten with electrified rods and repeatedly threatened with execution. His vision of a day when people of his country would openly proclaim their faith in the streets gave him great strength to persevere through this most difficult time.

Encounter

Though not strictly a dream or a vision, a number of Muslim-background believers have had a significant supernatural encounter that was instrumental in drawing them to Jesus. One Egyptian Muslim was reading the Injil (Gospel), when he came to Luke 3, where the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus in the form of a dove. God said, "This is my son, in whom I am well pleased." As he read those words, a stormy wind broke into his room. A voice spoke to him saying, "I am Jesus Christ, whom you hate. I am the Lord whom you are looking for." He recalls that he "wept and wept, accepting Jesus from that time."

Whatever personal perspective one has on dreams and visions and the Christian walk of faith, it is difficult to consider engaging in ministry to Muslims without a recognition of and an openness for God to continue drawing people to Himself through what may be viewed as unconventional means.

For more stories of how God has reached in supernatural ways to people in the remotest areas of the earth we would suggest the book Eternity in Their Hearts: Startling Evidence of Belief in the One True God in Hundreds of Cultures Throughout the World by Don Richardson or the documentary film entitled More Than Dreams which details some of the extraordinary supernatural experiences that Muslims around the world are having with Christ.
Reading that book and watching that film will radically redefine how you view these issues.

The reality is that God will reach out to anyone that is truly searching for Him, even if it means doing it in supernatural ways.

Anyone who doubts that simply does not understand how big our God is.

If you do are not born again yet, then God may be reaching out to you through this article right now.

The good news is that you can have your sins forgiven and begin a relationship with Jesus Christ right now. The following site has more information on how you can become a Christian:

The Cameroon native grew up around fashion, as his mother was a designer and boutique owner. He was always very artistic–he painted as a teenager–and ultimately moved to Paris in 2000. He started his career assisting at fashion shows and doing makeup for small magazines before securing a job at cosmetics company Dessange. He said, “I was the company’s main makeup artist and hairstylist. I worked with stars like Denzel Washington, Jade Jagger, and Elijah Wood.” In 2007, he quit Dessange to start his own hair, makeup, and photography company, Mario Epanya Productions.

"SEX and the CITY 2"

SATC 2 movie trailer click here:

Large fabric flower pins

The curly bob haircut

Pairing silver stilettos with cargo pants or jeans

Large 1950’s style skirts with tight, modern tops and accessories

Gold name necklaces

Vintage dresses with expensive bags and shoes

Large belts

Extensive strands of pearls

“Ghetto Gold” jewelry

Multiple Horseshoe necklaces

Individual Fashions

Each character brings a unique twist to fashion. Whether it’s Samantha’s sexy attire or Charlotte’s Park-Avenue-proper attire, each woman has something different to offer.

Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker)- Carrie is the funky fashionista who isn’t afraid to take chances. She wears everything from fur coats and tie-dyed leggings to sparkly 1940’s dresses and vintage clothing with fancy extras. She’s always in a pair of stilettos regardless of the occasion or outfit. Her favorite designers include Dolce and Gabbana, Christian Dior, Manolo Blahnik and Prada.

Miranda (Cynthia Nixon)- In the early seasons of the show, Miranda was very androgynous. Her masculine cut suits were accompanied with extremely skinny ties and her short hair was slicked back. Miranda loosened up around the second season with more feminine fitting suit separates and showed a little more skin. However, when Miranda is not at the office she wears curve hugging dresses and flaunts her strappy shoes and matching bag.

Samantha (Kim Cattrall)- Samantha is the epitome of sexy and “va-va-voom”. She wears bright colored outfits that make her stand out that are tight and low cut. She has a great body and isn’t afraid to let everyone know it. She’s also a big fan of chunky earrings and bracelets that are bright colored, if not neon.

Charlotte (Kristin Davis)- As Carrie says in season one, Charlotte is a “Park Avenue Pollyanna” and definitely dresses the part. Charlotte sashays down Park Avenue in her Burberry raincoat, crisp white button-up collard shirts and navy blue capri pants. Charlotte is a fan of Coco Chanel and gravitates towards anything Jackie Onassis would’ve worn.

Tres Leches Cupcakes

2010-05-15T01:58:00.001-05:00

"Un'Corked" trios , sounds like a great dessert for the partay!
Tres Leches Cake, I decided to go with a cupcake version, and the end result are these Tres Leches Cupcakes. They are so easy to make that you still have time to make them for dessert tonight!

Tres Leches Cupcakes

from Martha Stewart

Makes about 20 cupcakes

6 large eggs, separated

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup white sugar

1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk

3/4 cup heavy cream

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

whipped cream and ground cinnamon, for garnish

Preheat oven to 325. Line muffin tin with paper-lined foil liners.

Whisk egg whites, baking soda and salt with electric mixer on medium until soft peaks form. Add yolks and sugar and mix on low until thoroughly combined. Fold in melted butter using a flexible spatula. Add flour in four batches, folding gently until combined.

Divide batter into muffin cups, filling each about half way. Bake until light golden brown, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and poke holes into cupcakes using skewers or fork.

Whisk together the evaporated milk, condensed milk and heavy cream. With cupcakes still in the muffin tin, brush the milk mixture using a pastry brush. Repeat until all the liquid has been used. Allow cupcakes to absorb mixture, at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day in the refrigerator, wrapped tightly with plastic wrap. Bring to room temp before serving.

Serve topped with whipped cream and ground cinnamon.

The above painting was done as a study of Cezanne's brushwork. I chose it

because his original painting seemed to have shapes which I could rearrange and

adapt into subtle suggestions of heart shapes, my own whimsical choice.

Artistic tradition finds painters making studies of the masters, but this is

the first time I have done so. A remarkable way to get inside the thoughts

of a master painter.

“In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.”~COCO Chanel

2010-03-20T11:43:00.002-05:00

Coco Chanel - A quick history

From her first millinery shop, opened in 1912, to the 1920s, Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel rose to become one of the premier fashion designers in Paris, France. Replacing the corset with comfort and casual elegance, her fashion themes included simple suits and dresses, women’s trousers, costume jewelry, perfume and textiles.

Coco Chanel claimed a birthdate of 1893 and a birthplace of Auvergne; she was actually born in 1883 in Saumur. According to her version of her life story, her mother worked in the poorhouse where Gabrielle was born, and died when Gabrielle was only six, leaving her father with five children whom he promptly abandoned to the care of relatives.

She adopted the name Coco during a brief career as a cafe and concert singer 1905-1908. First a mistress of a wealthy military officer then of an English industrialist, Coco Chanel drew on the resources of these patrons in setting up a millinery shop in Paris in 1910, expanding to Deauville and Biarritz. The two men also helped her find customers among women of society, and her simple hats became popular.

Soon Coco Chanel was expanding to couture, working in jersey, a first in the French fashion world. By the 1920s, her fashion house had expanded considerably, and her chemise set a fashion trend with its “little boy” look. Her relaxed fashions, short skirts, and casual look were in sharp contrast to the corset fashions popular in the previous decades. Chanel herself dressed in mannish clothes, and adapted these more comfortable fashions which other women also found liberating.

In 1922 Coco Chanel introduced a perfume, Chanel No. 5, which became and remained popular, and remains a profitable product of Chanel’s company. Pierre Wertheimer became her partner in the perfume business in 1924, and perhaps also her lover. Wertheimer owned 70% of the company; Coco Chanel received 10% and her friend Bader 20%. The Wertheimers continue to control the perfume company today.

Coco Chanel introduced her signature cardigan jacket in 1925 and signature “little black dress” in 1926. Most of her fashions had a staying power, and didn’t change much from year to year — or even generation to generation.

Coco Chanel briefly served as a nurse in World War I. Nazi occupation meant the fashion business in Paris was cut off for some years; Chanel’s affair during World War II with a Nazi officer also resulted in some years of diminished popularity and an exile of sorts to Switzerland. In 1954 her comeback restored her to the first ranks of haute couture. Her natural, casual clothing including the Chanel suit once again caught the eye — and purses — of women. She introduced pea jackets and bell bottom pants for women. She was still working in 1971 when she died. Karl Lagerfeld has been chief designer of Chanel’s fashion house since 1983.

Chanel introduced a line of sunglasses in 1999 and also offers fashionable prescription eye glasses. Chanel sunglasses and Chanel eye glasses are available at Fine Eyewear, located the three corners of Cedar Park, Austin and Round Rock, TX and a short drive from Georgetown, TX. Our address is 2800 E. Whitestone Blvd Suite 210 Cedar Park, TX 78613. See main website for contact information. www.FineEyewear.Net

“Success is often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable.”
“Fashion fades, only style remains the same.”
“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”

A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.

Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.

Coco Chanel

Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress.

CoCo Chanel

Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future.

Coco Chanel

Elegance is refusal.

Coco Chanel

Fashion fades, only style remains the same.

Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.

Coco Chanel

Fashion is made to become unfashionable.

Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.

Coco Chanel

How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.

Coco Chanel

I don't know why women want any of the things men have when one the things that women have is men.

Coco Chanel

I never wanted to weigh more heavily on a man than a bird.

Coco Chanel

In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.

Coco Chanel

Jump out the window if you are the object of passion. Flee it if you feel it. Passion goes, boredom remains.

Coco Chanel

Look for the woman in the dress. If there is no woman, there is no dress.

Coco Chanel

Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.

Coco Chanel

My friends, there are no friends.

Coco Chanel

Nature gives you the face you have at twenty; it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty.

Coco Chanel

Since everything is in our heads, we had better not lose them.

Coco Chanel

Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity.

Coco Chanel

Success is often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable.

Coco Chanel

The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.

Coco Chanel

There have been several Duchesses of Westminster but there is only one Chanel!

Coco Chanel

There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time!

Coco Chanel

Those who create are rare; those who cannot are numerous. Therefore, the latter are stronger.

Coco Chanel
amen.

[1] My objective is to arrest the brain’s split-second arrangements, assumptions and filtering systems by pausing the subconscious deconstruction process; I want to create a moment of reflections, exploration and possibility.
