I' ve seen this one yet, but never in close-up as in this picture, I have to admit that now I can see some imperfections that I couldn't see in others images. First of all, the jewels: too showy&big; then, I can notice here that this dress is not perfect for Maria because it leave too uncovered her shoulders: we have to remember that she's a athlete, so she has large ones & often it's not a good thing to enhance this particular. Finally, the make-up: Maria isn't a woman who needs much make-up; in this photo she wears a light eye-shadow in order to enhance the brightness of her eyes but she has obtained the opposite effect; on the other hand, the lipstick has made her lips too showy; & before ending, she has put too much cream on her face which has localized the light only in some parts such as the cheek-bones. All these things couldn't be seen in others pictures which present the whole shape.

I am sorry this thread is not closed. If I find interesting information about Masha Sharapova, I will post it.

Masha should concentrate her efforts for Tennis if she wants to be more famous in the world of Sport.

By working every day little by little you become an excellent athlete, but you never  have to stop your efforts.

You are right, above all Maria has to improve herself in tennis if she wants to become more famous in the world of sport. Dresses&jewels should be considered less important if she wants to win a lot ... even if sometimes some little fancies may be  satisfied, because are often the little pleasures which we can find every day in common things that could made our life happier. I hope I will see some posts from you soon because style&beauty are my 'job', so it would be a great pleasure for me to rewiew other clothes & to find imperfections in wearing which may be corrected. Like I said before, A bientòt. 

It is the video about Sharapova. There are millions of journalists.

Welcome back ! Unfortunately, I have seen only a little part of the video because I live in a little village (I love my village!) with a population of about 400, so, you can understand, the internet connection is quiet slow & it's very difficult for me to see only a whole video from YouTube. However, after the little vision, I've verified that she was wonderful with that daily-cloth; besides, when you sent that picture for the first time I didn't understand she dressed it for Halloween ... so, in the end, she didn't wear an orange dress, I didn't expect she selected a daily-cloth. However, she was beautiful.

I know this thing doesn't have any relationship with this thread, but when that quarrel in the Tennis Talk forum will be finish? It's useless to continue to insult each other with 'nationalist hearts' , I've also taken part to the thread and soon I've been insulted like I had done something bad ... it's impossible to get ahead with a discussion in that bustle.

Yes I know I think this battle is finished. We should forget it now.

I showed you the video because Journalists took millions of photos of Masha Sharapova in few minutes. They surprised me.

Never see it before.

The journalists are often in great numbers like houseflies & irritating as mosquitos

Yes you are right. They tell her, turn your face on left then on right.............

They remember me houseflies. They also made from a meeting a very big story especially when it is about a celebraty such as Sharapova.

They like big stories about celebraties with great titles. After all they need to sell their magazines. If they have nothing to say people won't buy their magazine. So they have to talk about great athletes and give a new breaking information. They like it. They are just sellers.

They are mosquitos, they irritate us. I like your expression.

Merci, happy to know you liked it. However, the journalists, expecially the gossip ones, are a perfect example of the power which money exert on us ... & the TV journalist are so worse: they've a greater power to shape people's mind. When a man wants really something (in this case money) there're not much things which can stop him.

You are right.

Anyway All journalists work for politicians or advertising agencies or industries.

When they publish an article, they express ideas of politicians or advertising agencies or industries. They give us a news about them and this news is not always true. Sometimes they want to influence the opinion of people; they want people to have a certain point of view about something. They want to convince you about something. For example I noticed that TV news like to repeat the same news all the day. They often like brainwashing us. So we have to be carefull with TV journalists.

Maria Sharapova - Maria playing with an elephant

Yeah, it's such a funny picture.

About Fashion & Elephants I'll show you a famous photo taken by the great artist Richard Avedon for Vogue America in the 1950s. It's a dress of Dior's New Look. It's a wonderful picture.

However, why are we talkin' about elephants?
