Visiting Thuraya Al-Baqsami

Lo se, estoy horrible. Pero no hay segundas oportunidades.

Yesterday I was so lucky! Mr friend Layla invited me to visit Miss Thuraya Al-Baqsami´s house. She loves her work, such as me, and wanted to look at her latest paintings. It was quite an experience.

She is one of the most talented painters in Kuwait and her work follows her all over the countries she has visited due to her husband´s work as a diplomat. Rusia, Egypt, India, Africa.... All the inspíration this countries gave her are drawn in her pictures.

I was really tempted with a couple of them that I will share with you.

Her next exhibition will be on March 2016, we are looking forward to see her new work.

Do you like my choice?

I didn't buy them..... saving for universities.....

Feminism is her main topic.

Collection of awards, well known as a poetry writer too. I got her book!!!

By the way, I love this kind of gifts related to local culture!

Olímpicas en Londres | Olympics in London

Llevo varios días viendo la misma campaña de publicidad de la revista Marie Claire y ha sido mi hijo A* el que me ha contado que la prota era una de las dos mujeres que han representado a Kuwait en las olimpiadas de 2012 en Londres. Faye Sultan es la primera mujer en ir a las olimpiadas para la prueba de 50 mts libre de natación. U ltimó su entrenamiento en el centro de alto rendimiento de Calella donde se grabó esta entrevista . Creo que quedó séptima. La chica es mona y la verdad es que el departamento de producción ha hecho un gran trabajo. Seguro que habéis visto su video del making off en NYC en todas las pantallas del país, y digo pantallas por que aquí la publicidad por todas partes se ofrece en movimiento a través de pantallas de tv (Leds, supongo). La moza tiene 18 años y mide 1.82 mts así que podría dedicarse a esto si con la natación o la universidad donde ha empezado este año no le va bien. Os dejo una imagen de ella entrando al estadio olímpico donde la veo inclu

Spanish fashion in Kuwait | Moda Española en Kuwait II parte

As we discussed in previous post, the Spanish fashion has a big representation here. Once again, the Inditex group is in all world and markets but "Not only of Zara can the human being dress", right? Companies such as Condor have been installed in this country for a long time and that for moms like me who like the quality and variety of brand socks is helpful (in Baroue find them). Hoss Intropia is also in Kuwait (In The Avenues Mall) rather more expensive than in Spain but the truth is that it's good to go to the store and see the richness of the fabrics and skill in designing clothes. I have a dress that once landed in Bilbao I'll see if I can still find it and buy it. And we are also fortunate to have Adolfo Dominguez (also in The Avenues Mall) the store is huge and has the entire collection including U the young brand. Something I realy miss is a good brand of Spanish Shoes with good prices. We are lucky to have Pretty Ballerinas and from time to time Casta
