Summer Love

   With the end of high school and senior year and prom comes the best of all Summer!

  Summer, oh how feel it in the air, in the sky, in the sands and cold water! I think we were all waiting for this moment.
  Summer is the time to show off your beautiful skin, your hair, your perfect body shapes (and I mean all shapes and sizes) , to be free, to make everyday memorable, to make new friends, to meet new places! 
   Summer is paradise it’s perfection it’s fun and wild! 
  But the best part of this season, is the summer romances!
  Oh how I love to help everyone find their summer love! Summer love is the purest of loves, although temporary, a summer love is remembered for a lifetime.
 It marks who you are, what you truly want not just what you want for the rest of your life. It’s an epic love! So big it would make you understand what the real message behind Romeo and Juliet. 

The typical boy meets girl, and they fall instantly and madly in love (with a bit of my help of course) and then comes the magical moments.
The walks late at night, the swimming in lakes, the midnight calls and texts , the dinners and picnics, and for some, the matching tattoos, the rings, the necklace with the first letter of your lovers name,  the songs that explain exactly how you feel  with and without them.

And it really doesn’t matter how it ends, because you will cherish every moment you had
 I really hope you all find your summer loves and I’ll be here watching over all of you and helping every step of the way. 
This is my last post but I’ll always be watching over , it was a really great year and miss you all  my beautiful mortals
 

XOXOXO with a lot of love,

Pop Art

The Birth of Venus (me of course)

1984

Andy Warhol


 




This painting is the perfect example of the pop art movement basically Andy appropriated himself of the painting of me by Botticelli  and just changed it the way he wanted!
 He used strong and happy colors to paint it.



This work is a part of the movement against pre-established high and low art he used a painting that was considered a fine piece of art and made it almost common! 
He mass produced it so everyone could have it blurring the line that separated unique and fine art from common expendable and accessible art! 

It was a clear counter movement against Abstract Expressionism that searched for trauma in the soul, it wasn’t easy to define but pop art was! It was based on advertising, cartoons and popular images they were easier to assimilate by the bigger class that wasn’t part of the literate elite.
