the best things in life

You know the photo well.

Caption from the August 27, 1945, issue of LIFE. “In the middle of New York’s Times Square a white-clad girl clutches her purse and skirt as an uninhibited sailor plants his lips squarely on hers.”

“It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it; but the young know they are wretched for they are full of the truthless ideals which have been instilled in them, and each time they come in contact with the real, they are wounded.” —W. Somerset Maugham

The International Center of Photography in New York recently announced their 29th Annual Infinity Awards. In the “Young Photographer” category, Kitra Cahana (b. 1987) is this year’s winner. Unknown to me, I visited her site and was immediately drawn in.

Cahana’s series on nomads and teens, in particular, caught my eye. In photography, the quality of light (and the attention given to it) means everything. Her judicious use of it gives her color images a moodiness that is both pleasing and full of uncertainty—like the kids she photographs. At age 25, Cahana reveals a depth rarely found in the work of her contemporaries. Her ICP award is well deserved. —Lane Nevares

Illamasqua Speckled Nails!

From Illamasqua’s NEW I’m Perfection collection are these beautiful pastel shades which are limited edition and in my eyes are the best glitter breakthrough nail product I have seen for a while!

There are 5 shades in the collection and each retail at £14.50 each from www.illamasqua.com

I got so excited at all the shades from the collection I decided to create an Ombre Speckle effect! With shades Fragile, Mottle, Speckle !

jayalice:

For some fish, reproduction is at the very top of their priority list. It is their most important achievement and they take sexual competition extremely seriously. So in order to counteract competition, some fish delay their sexual maturity and begin life as a functional male or female and later change to the other sex!

These squarespot anthias, for example, begin their life as a female in a harem with one dominant male. The female clearly distinguishes herself by showing a bright orange color, whereas the male is a beautiful purple and displays a square spot on each side of his body, hence their name. If the male dies or is removed from the harem, the highest ranking female will rapidly change sex, color and size in order to replace him and take over the command of the harem. As a juvenile female in a harem, the squarespot anthia also benefits by the protection of the dominant male.
