PostSecret - a million of whispers in one ear.

Thinking about relationship between new media and the literature, I went looking for books based on blogs. Here is one particularly interesting example:

http://www.postsecret.com/

PostSecret is a blog where people share their secrets: pain, love, memories, hopes, crimes... Check this blog! It is a true poetry of the streets: romantic, cunning, rude, beautiful, stinky and fragrant at the same time, pulsing like one gigantic heart taken out of the chest cavity.

Equally interesting to the content is the form of people's expression: the blog is a collection of postcards richly decorated in all the forms of media you can imagine: drawings, collages, writing, photos. See for yourself...

I little lesson in marine biology...

This is a wonderful refute to people who not only disrespect women of all sizes, but also do not know how to write adds! All I can add to it, people, look at Matisse and Kustodiev paintings - they knew the right size!

A while back, at the entrance of a gym, there was a picture of a very thin and b...eautiful woman. The caption was "This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?"

The story goes, a woman (of clothing size unknown) answered the following way:

"Dear people, whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, seals, curious humans), they are sexually active and raise their children with great tenderness.
They entertain like crazy with dolphins and eat lots of prawns. They swim all day and travel to fantastic places like Patagonia, the Barents Sea or the coral reefs of Polynesia.
They sing incredibly well and sometimes even are on cds. They are impressive and dearly loved animals, which everyone defend and admires.

Mermaids do not exist.

But if they existed, they would line up to see a psychologist because of a problem of split personality: woman or fish?
They would have no sex life and could not bear children.
Yes, they would be lovely, but lonely and sad.
And, who wants a girl that smells like fish by his side?

Without a doubt, I'd rather be a whale.

At a time when the media tells us that only thin is beautiful, I prefer to eat ice cream with my kids, to have dinner with my husband, to eat and drink and have fun with my friends.

We women, we gain weight because we accumulate so much wisdom and knowledge that there isn't enough space in our heads, and it spreads all over our bodies.
We are not fat, we are greatly cultivated.
Every time I see my curves in the mirror, I tell myself: "How amazing am I ?! "
