Believe. Achieve.
Do whatever you want, to get wherever you want...
I know it is almost half way through 2009, but I feel so strongly about writing down these goals just to keep track of progress, you know? Usually I like to write headlines that rhymes or show some sort of repetition, i.e. 9 goals in 09, but this year, to keep things simple and achievable, I have 4 goals only and nothing ridiculous, like “I wanna be Natalia Vodianova”. Mind you. That goal had been on my list for a handful of years now. That is definition of ridiculous, no?
4 goals in 09
- Begin writing short stories… again!
I was cleaning up my former bedroom and found these crazy ridiculous stories I used to write, and I remembered how fun they were. I miss them and plan to re-live those moments of joy and pride.
- Work in Fashion
There is nothing worse than not waking up in the morning. Not only do I get pimples on my back when I sleep too much, I also become wider on the horizon, thus, occupying more valuable surface squares on earth. What a waste of our earth’s precious resources? The only solution: to fulfill my dream and work in fashion.
- Learn more vocab
There is nothing wrong with using the same vocab. all the time, as long as your message gets out there, but sometimes, a little bit more variety shows your depth, sophistication and most of all, excitement; and I hope to achieve that.
- Use time more efficiently
An unofficial research has indicated that I spend almost 75% of my life time lying down, and 50% of that time, I am on the couch. Litter does not come appear more manifestly than this…

Vogue España May 2009: Carmen Kass by Paola Kudacki
Estonian model Carmen Kass on the cover of Vogue España May 2009
The 463-paged mega issue for Vogue España May 2009 features Carmen Kass photographed by Paola Kudacki. What is special about the cover is its outtake-like nature, with shows the Estonian model, dressed only in a black blazer jacket and knickers of the same shade, appearing shocked by the presence of the camera in the manner that echoes the rhythms of “I got locked out of my hotel room”. This cover exhibits the experimental approach of Vogue España, which differs it from Vogue all over the world.
Review from tFs by b&bofbalenciaga:
- Carmen Kass by Paola Kudacki. Styled by Barbara Martelo.
- Anna Gushina by Paola Kudacki. Styled by Barbara Martelo.
- Hana Soukupová by James Macari.
- ? by Joan Akehurst.

Vogue Russia May 2009: Magdalena Frackowiak
How many reasons are there for me to love Russia – the vast country with vast resources, which stretches from the far east to the far west? Not only does the country yield one of the most gorgeous looking human beings, it also has one of the most good looking ex-President/Prime Minister in the world! Mmm…
The best treasure of all this month has to be Vogue Russia – one of the best fashion magazines in the world!

Poly Power: Dreaming of Natasha
![Power Poly works it [1]!](http://blogyul.miqrogroove.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/natashapolysoleildeminuitvogueparismarch2007inezvinoodh.jpg "natashapolysoleildeminuitvogueparismarch2007inezvinoodh")
Power Poly works it! For more see endnote 1.
You know you are an ‘it’ girl when you have the power to jump from one dream to another.
Guess what?
Ms. Rusya, who is just sleeping a few beds away from me, also dreamt of Ms. Poly yesterday night.
She told me she was walking down the plain suburbian streets of Tokyo in the dream and suddenly… Voila! There came the stunning Russian model Natasha Poly glimmering oddly out of an Asian crowd the ordinary.
Ms. Rusya quickly extended her hand to greet the 23 year old.
Ms. Poly, who meets probably a million people in a day, was at first uncertain as to who the short chubby girl was; but after two split seconds, the intelligent Russian model quickly figured out she was just another fan.
“Hi, Nataaaaasha, how are you?”, shrieked the naive first year university students hyper-enthusiastically. “What are you doing HERE?”
“I am on my way to meet my boyfriend.” Ms. Poly explained with poise and elegance. “The last few times I called, he did not respond, so I am just here to give him a surprise.”
“Oh… Yeah… They are so annoying. Are you still with that 45-year-old man? [2]” asked the 19 year old daringly.
“No. No. No. I’ve moved on.”
An extended awkward silence…
The pair started walking together and arrived in Belgium at a site with a waffle truck [3] parked by the side of the road. At the back of the truck, there is a banal-looking but immensely-masculine man of great built. He stopped his task of loading the truck up at the immediate sight of the long-legged model. Passionately, he greeted her, “Hi, Lily!” [4]
“No, it’s NATASHA!”
“Yeah, you are right,” said Mr. Boyfriend half-heartedly, then, quickly, turned his attention to Ms. Rusya to avoid further embarrassment. While the curious bitch protagonist of this dream wondered why on earth the hot Russian babe is going out with this not-so-Mathias-looking and not-so-rich guy, it was like he could read her mind as he explained that he is experimenting with different occupations and different paths in life whilst he is still young.
Ms. Rusya woke up.
What a silly dream?
Endnotes:

[2] Ms. Rusya is thinking of Ms. Barsukova here.
[3] Ms. Rusya is a BIG fan of waffles.
[4] This is obviously a mix up with the Gucci ads.
