Happy Romeo + Juliet Friday

Well, my friends,
Happy Romeo + Juliet Friday!
ok! So yesterday Naomi Nevitt tweeted that she was listing to the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack,
which took me way back.
How classic is that soundtrack?!
Well, all day i have had that movie stuck in my head,
so i thought i would draw a scene from it! :)
What do you think?
i hope you like it and Happy Romeo + Juliet Friday!

i beg of you all to help me! if you are a blogger and help me in this endeavor, i will feature/advertise your blog on the sidebar of le fashion forever! i am even willing to pay a finders fee.

Being pretty or being just a young woman makes your life easier.how?

This is a funny post.But previously I have to say that I am great.I am strong and better than ever.Coz its weekend d@mned!LOL:)And..about being pretty.. I dont want anyone to judge me but you know...Every person on this earth has a body to deal with.And they are coping with it.I struggled with my looks in my early teens but now I love the way I look cause time by time I've made myself "me" with all the good and the bad and the pretty lol.Writing makes me feel beautiful.I don't want to be anyone else.I like the way I look when I take a look at the mirror.Everyone has imperfections and problems and deal with it.I go to pilates and gym and I take care of my body(since winter).This helps me to feel sporty and healthy.lol.not skinny ok?Skinny is a boy thing.I dont like skinny looks and never want to be very skinny.Role models shouldn't be so very skinny.What else can I do more?I never want to be so very perfect(noone should be except Spain's football team lol).I just want to be comfty with myself and so I am...I used to be a cosmetic freak(I still have MAC,NARS,Lancome,Chanel makeup collections especially from limited edition lines) but now I like to go out natural with some blush on and lipgloss.I used to never walk out of home with messy hair but now I like to use wavy hair and sometimes "just rolled out of bed" look.That is pretty to me.I like the simple undone look mostly.But I love smokey eye makeup at night for a night out.LOL.Anywayz,today I came to my street late and bread factory was out of stock(all breads sold).I went to the market and asked if they have any bread left.There was a guy with bread and the market owner said the guy just bought the last bread.In silence I whispered to myself that I must be on my lucky day(ironic oppose sentence with joke).He left the bread to me without buying and asked if there's another market open that he can buy bread.I said "No,please buy it" but he did not even listened.He saw me and left the bread to me.Thats the story.Mostly guys see me and want to do something for me if theres a chance.This happens to me in weird times.many times.And mostly they hardly say No cause they never want to say No.That's a good thing.Maybe its so rude to reject a young woman right?Gentle men are hardly found but I get to get solutions easier when they are around.There are still rude people living and breathing around.I feel sad for them.Lets forget them.I luv weekends.I gotta go now.I'll post pictures.soon.promise.

p.s. I could have never mentioned this before.I love all the readers whoever read my blog.Thank you so much.I luv y'all with passion:)

Surfer Mom & Beach Mom on Bicycles -- Plus...MomCafe & Bicycles

(All Photos by RidingPretty)

Awhile back I peeped in on MomCafe. They featured a Summer Survival Guide. Part of it included a Bicycle Giveaway along with other Bicycle Related prizes. For instance to win the bicycle the question was, "Where is your favorite place to go bike riding at?" Your answer to that gave you a chance at winning a Schwinn bike. Another question was, "Do you always wear your bike helmet when cycling?" Here the prize was a helmet. By answering several additional bike related questions gave you even more opportunities to win other bike related prizes.

What was so amazing was how many Moms did just that -- gave wonderful responses. I read only a very few of the over 900 comments describing 'favorite places to ride a bicycle'. I got all warm and gooey inside. A lot of Moms out there just melted my heart with their bicycle love stories.

Why am I sharing this you may wonder?

It felt like I was witnessing a ground swell of momentum taking shape. 900+ responses is a lot Moms who bike already or want to bike!! I liked this MomCafe's promotion because of the way it fostered an engaging way to get Mom's to share their personal stories and respond to each other in that wonderfully Mom centric, friendly way. I was just flat out inspired.

To go with this post I purposely set out to find some great Santa Cruz Moms (role models) on Bicycles. The first mom is just so awesome! I have never seen a surfer mom quite like her. She transported that big 'ole surf board so effortlessly, no big deal. Her son was so proud to have his picture taken with his Mom. I however, kept mumbling about how utilitarian and impressive she was...I hope I didn't sound too ridiculous. I was trying too hard to explain why I wanted their picture so badly! I also took a really long time to get this post up, so I hope Surfer Mom and Surfer Son get to see this!!

The second Mom is so wonderful too. They were headed home after a day at the beach. I like their big beach bags!!

Dazed and confused

I had a bizarre week.I bought summer boots that I might wear morrow.But thats not the point of view.After work I walked from Cihangir thru Çukurcuma to Galatasaray and went to Bershka today.I bought a grey bracelet that matches my gray vintage bag color.I also bought summer boots.I don't feel good these days.I even want to get out of my life.Be off the record for ...like...for a while or forever maybe?I am bored of everything and everyone and every place.This must be something at the moment but no.The feeling doesn't leave me alone.Maybe I'm homesick(even I am at my home).Maybe I need to hug my mom.But I can't.I need to call her more often.Maybe I need to get drunk with my palz.Or I need myself.I am the only cure for myself.I make strong words that I believe in and then I say that I am strong and I can move on.I don't like to think about future but I feel like I must plan and go or I'll end up wasted.I've been wasting my precious time like for 5 years.That is a killer idea.It kills me for two days.I am like between nowhere.I don't want to do anything.I guess I need a solution.in my mind.I need to solve.maybe its too late.maybe I can't really solve anything.Thats why I'm lost.Totally lost.I'm very very...dazed and.confused.

Farmer's Markets, Foodie Bicycle Tours

Please note the new additions on the sidebar. Both are bicycle tour and food related.

Eat Real Festival & East Bay Bicycle Coalition-- Oakland CA

"Pedal along Oakland's waterfront and meet local culinary artisans, learn their specialties and taste their creations. Join us as we meet local purveyors of sustainable chocolate, tea, beer and wine."

Cycletourist Rallye Over Country Roads North of Boulder Colorado

"GASTRONOMIC FEEDS Created by some of the nation’s most celebrated local chefs, the “feed” stations along the course of L’Eroica Boulder are gastronomic. Energy bars and gels are replaced with vintage refreshments of our ancestral hero’s of the road: aged cheeses, antipasto, craft breads, fruits, traditional hams and Italian wines that freely flow. "

What is the world coming too? Good Food -- combo bicycle social event ride? I am so inspired!

Do you remember this post from last year? I remember being so thrilled to learn such type rides existed. Well it's time again for the Tour d' Organics in Sebastopol, CA and also now in Portland, OR.

This being a food related bicycle post, then I feel it apropos to tell you I'm off to see Julie & Julia sometime this weekend!
