四月全翻覆

人间四月天,

毒去两面试,

一个以为有,

一个不敢试。

-------------

酷热月末天,

辗转无消息,

海枯又石烂,

心也渐渐冷,

终于断了气。

Interview

I attended quite a number of interviews since last year.

These are the questions I really cant answer well:
1. Tell me your strength and weakness

==> I feel like cheating him/her if i dont tell the truth. If i told him/her the truth, i dont think i will get hired at all.

2. Tell me your 3 years plans

==> I know what i want, in short term, not long term. I dont have 3 year plans....

3. Tell me the most difficult situation you encountered and share with me how you handle/solve the problems?

==> I dont think i handle/solve problems in a standard way, usually i solve the problems using my own way. However, telling him/her my own way, may jeopardize the entire interview as he/she may not agree with the method i adopted. I really hate to answer something that require a standard answer!

4. Why do you want to leave your current job?

==> Somehow i appreciate those who NEVER ask me such question. If i were an employer, i wont ask such stupid questions at all.

Many mores...

Sinking Boat

I am sinking.

I wandered into the sea, and i took a boat.

I took a wrong boat.

Throughout the journey, I realise The boat is sinking.

I'll sink with the boat.....

No...it's not what i want.

i cry for help; yet no other boats approached me..

The boat is sinking..

I am sinking...

I am sinking...

I sink.

英国摄政王时代(1795-1820)的女性服饰






















(以下内容部分从维基得来:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1795-1820_in_fashion)

我在熊熊姐姐部落格的留言中,说我想象熊熊姐姐身穿维多利亚时代的蓬蓬裙,被警察逮捕的幻想片断,让我突然想写一些关于服饰的东西。

我曾经很赞叹从前的西方女性,她们服饰上的变化是十分明显的。

法国大革命(1789)把那些玛丽安东尼似的花俏奢侈的法国贵妇服饰都革掉了。法国的平民百姓都不想再把自己打扮成一个贵妇模样,不然的话可能就像法国皇后那样被送上断头台。基本上英国的妇女们也都开始将自己从束缚中 解放出来,尽可能穿上一些较为宽松简单的服饰,可能是受到了启蒙运动的影响吧?
(右图为18世纪前中期贵妇的基本装扮,熊熊姐姐是否希望自己的头发也能梳成这种高度呢?)

法国恐怖时期(1793 - 1794),无数贵族甚至平民百姓惨死断头台,贵妇服装大致上消失了。
在这个介于维多利亚女王登基和拿破仑席卷欧洲的年代(即英国摄政王时代),出现了一种类似现代孕妇装的Empire Silhouette。大家如果常常看电影的话,所有Jane Austin小说改编的电影的背景年代及服饰,都是这一款的。基本上腰围变得宽大,裙子束缚的部位从腰身移上至胸部以下;下裙则多重复杂。当时的人们开始放弃过于夸张华丽的装扮,开始向往古代希腊及罗马时代的那种民主之风,纯朴但不失风流。当时的女性也把头发弄得圈圈的,根本就像在模仿古代希腊美女的雕像。。不过,大家穿起来,都没了身材。。。可能现代女子如熊熊姐姐,玉如妹妹,JY姐姐和Jody姐姐,都不大钟意吧?
(中图为所谓的Empire Silhouette, 我觉得这个时候的女性服饰是潇洒,天真和自然的,不会过于苛刻。。)

(左图为当时摄政王时代的男子服饰,觉得很不错,不会像之前的男性,都是戴假发,穿高跟鞋的那种。。。至少看起来有点乡绅的感觉。。)
