Project 333 - kesä 2016 -kokoelma

Tuttua ja turvallista - raitaa ja pöyhkeitä helmoja

Mitään suuria yllätyksia Project 333 3/15 -kokoelmani ei tuo mukanaan - radikaalein uudistus lienee, että edelliskesästä poiketen tämän vuoden kokoelmassani on mukana kahdet shortsit eikä yhtään kokomustaa mekkoa. Kuosien ja värimaailman osalta jatketaan tutulla hyväksihavaitulla linjalla.

That's so you! 

- miten rakastunut olenkaan tuohon lauseeseen tyyliasioista puhuttaessa.

Project 333 3/15 kokoelmani

Kokoelma ei ole aivan täydelliinen, mukana on tällä hetkellä 27 osaa - kokoelman "perusta" on siis kasassa. Yllä olevasta kuvasta löytyy 22 kokoelman palasta, sillä muutama vaatekappale on pesussa, musta laukku jäi autoon, yksi hame on matkalla ja ulkotakki uupuu kokoelmasta vielä kokonaan.

Ulkotakin suhteen olen pohtinut uuden - hyvin istuvan - bleiserin hankintaa. Kaapissani olevat kesäkauden ulkotakit ovat vanhoja, käytettynä ostettuja ja aika suuressa määrin jo aika tavalla korjauskelvottomaan kuntoon päässeitä Yhdessä takissa on ilkeä repeämä hihan kiinittyksessä (miten ihmeessä minä sen onnistuin rikkomaan - god knows), toisessa ruma palkeenkieli vuoressa (kangas on niin haperoa, ettei korjaus kannata) ja kolmanessa on nappiongelmaa. 

Uusi kesätakki saisi kyllä olla vaikka onistunut 2nd hand löytö - istuvuus on tulevassa takkihankinnassani se ratkaiseva tekijä.

Blogiani pidempään seurailleet ovat varmasti huomanneet, että rakennan P333 kokoelmani tiettyjen perusvaatteiden ympäirille. On ilo sanoa, että nuo P333 kokoelmieni "kulmakivet" ovat palvelleet minua hienosti ja kestäneet käytössä uskomattoman hyvin, 

Laatuun satsaaminen on selkeästi kannattanut.

Yksi P333 kokoelmani ihastuttavimmista paloista on  HaraJuku Lovers by Gwen Stefani sarjan kassi. Kassi on ostettu TK Maxx liikkeestä Irlanista reilu kuusi vuotta sitten ja laukkua on ostopäivästä lähtien käytetty joka kesäkaudella. Laukku on edelleen kuin uusi - toki muutaman pesukerran nähneenä - ja joka kesä laukku yllättää minut uudelleen toimivuudellaan.

Sopivan siro tilaihme tuo laukku.

Harajuku Lovers Foxy Bag in Hawaiian Girls Angel

Oman haasteensa tähän P333 kokoelmaan tällä hetkellä heittävää tuntoyliherkkyytenä tällä hetkellä aktiivisesti oireileva aistiyliherkkyyteni. Alusvaatteet - etenkin rintaliivit - tuntuvat juuri tässä hetkessä enemmän kuin epämukavilta. Onneksi on kesä - tarkenee tarpeen tullen kotioloissa vaikka vähemmissäkin vaatteissa.

Olen vuosien saatossa oppinut olemaan armollinen itselleni. Juuri nyt puen kaarituellisten rintaliivien päälle pukeminen tuntuu todella pahalta joten niiden tilalla valitsen oma mukavuuteni tähden saumattoman urheilutopin vaatteiden alle.  Eihän sellainen tämänn kokoluokan rintoja oikeasti tue, mutta mukavuus menee tässä kohtaa ulkonäköseikkojenn edelle.

Ollaan vaikka vähän riippatissiä, kunhan pystyy olemaan ilman alitusta ahdistavaa tunnetta.

Aistiyliherkkyyteni oireilee eri muodoissaan jokseenkin kausiluontoisesti - tulee ja menee kuin aallot meressä - Ääniyliherkyys vielä menettelee - ei oikeastaan haittaa arkielämää, mutta tämä kosketusherkkyys on vähän rasittavampi tapaus. Vaan ei ole muuta vaihtoehtoa kuin odotella tyrskyjen tasoittumista ja siihen saakka uiskennella aaltojen joukossa saumattomiin alusvaatteisiin turvautuen.

Täällä odotellaan aurinkoisia shortsikelejä.

In English

Hello, it is June and new Project 333 season. 
Season 3/2015 in my P333 wardrobes to be exact.

Quite many items are same than in previous collections. Biggest differences are, that all black dresses are put away to storage. Striped patterns have stayed, simple color theme is present.

The major difference between last summer's P333 and summer 2015 are shorts. My current collection includes two pair of shorts ( and I am planning to use them too)

Currently there is 27 items in my P333 - 6 items short from whole 33 piece set.
But I do not count in any scarves or jewelry and I keep also my shoe options rather open - I change shoes during collection period if I feel a need to do so. I am also waiting at least one skirt to arrive via post, since I have made few purchases on Ebay.

My P333 is totally missing a jacket, because I do not have any suitable summer jacket. One well fitting jacket or a blazer is on my current shopping list.

Im happy about my summer collection!

Now me and my shorts are only waiting warm and sunny summer days.

Daily Doze of Inspiration

parhaat palat

Eilen iltatorilla soitti Samuli Putro,

hypnotisoituneena tuijotin Samulin liikehdintää

 sulavasti kehoaan liikuttava kiitollisen oloinen rokkikukko

lavakarismaa

You know I know -meininkiä

keho puhui - musiikki puhutteli

kyllä kelpasi

Kiitos.

Tuhkaa korulippaassa laittoi miettimään,
elämää ja kiitollisuutta
siitä miten kiitollinen kaikesta saa olla

Elämällämme on tarkoitus
Ja joka hetkessä kauneutta
Emme ole automaatteja
virhelyöntejä ruudulla
Elämällämme on tarkoitus
Jokaisen tarina on arvokas
Emme ole tyhjänpantteja
Tuhkaa korulippaassa

Kiitos inspiraatiosta Samuli Putro


Mukavaa viikonloppua teille kaikille!

Rakkaudella,

Alennusmyyntilöytöjen saldo nolla

Aluksi muutama rivi blogikuulumisia. Blogini sai eilen oman suoran nettiosoitteen ja on vastaisuudessa sis löydettävissä Blogger-palvelun ja Bloglovin/blogilista linkkien lisäksi myös suoraan osoitteessa www.mangosforflamingos.com. Ikioman nettiosoitteen lisäksi olen blogiyhteistyömahdollisuuksia silmällä pitäen luonut itselleni muutaman käsintehdyn yksittäiskappaleen sarjan blogin yhteystietoja kantavia käyntikortteja. Muutamien yhteistyöneuvotteluja on suunnitteilla, tulevaisuus näyttää miten niiden kanssa loppujen lopulta sitten käy. We'll see.

Tänään suuntasin alennusmyyntien kimppuun,  sellaisella kevyellä katselumielellä ja ihan vain paikallisista alennusmyyntitarjontaa katselemaan. Pettymykseni oli suuri, sillä haaveissani oli tehdä yksi tai kaksi löytöä tämän hetken suosikkimallistoni, Lindexin Holly&Whyte, tarjonnasta. Nettisivujen mukaan muutama minua kiinnostava, kivannäköinen peruspuuvillatrikoopaita,  näytti olevan alennettuna. Kaupassa totuus oli toinen, ne paidat joita lähdin katselemaan riippuivat rekissä normaalihintaisina. Holly&Whyte alerekki ei tarjonnut mitään minua miellyttävää. KappAhlin Hamptons Republic 27 on toinen silmääni miellyttävä tuotesarja, valitettavaa kyllä tässä alen ensihuumassa mitään minulle sopivaa ei KappAhlinstakaan löytynyt.

Päädyin siis jatkamaan aleostoksia netissä. Ebay ja Lindexin verkkokauppa - here I come.

Holly&Whyte malliston vaatteet ovat minusta aivan ihania. Ylläolevaan Mon Amie-puseroon rakastuin ensi silmäyksellä. Säännöllisen epäsäännöllisesti vannon ja vakuutan itselleni, että raitakuosivaatteet siirtyvät vaatekaapissani so-last-season -osastoon, vain huomatakseni seuraavalla ostoskerralla löytäneeni uuden ja niin-täydellisesti-minun-tyyliseni -raitakuosilla varustetun vaatteen. 

Tunnustan täten salaisen rakkauteni raitakuosia kohtaan. Jos rakkaus raitakuosiin juontaa juurensa menneisyyden tapahtumista, olen mitä ilmeisimmin ollut ranskalainen miimikkotaiteilija jossakin vaiheessa jonkin entisen elämäni varrella.

 Toteutin joulun alla pitkäaikaisen haaveeni ja hankin itselleni ruman-kauniin-joulujumpperin. Lämmintä joulunaikaa silmälläpitäien hankintani on tälläinen ohut puuvilla-villa-angora sekoiteneule sellaisen perinteikkään tosivillaisen neuleen sijaan. Neuleen kuva puhutteli minua -  koira ja villapaita - juuri sopiva kaltaiselleni tädille, sellaiselle joka neuloo ilokseen villapaitoja omalle ja muiden lemmikeille.

Olen kovin tykästynyt tuohon neuleeseen. Se on mukava päällä ja sopivan lämmin. Haaveilen toisesta neuleesta kylmenevien kelien varalle. Uskon vakaasti, että kylmät kelit saavuttavat meidät tänäkin talvena. Oikeastaan odotan kylmeneviä ilmoja, sillä haluaisin luistelemaan. Hiihtämisestäkin haaveilen hiukan - viime talvena hiihdin kerran, joten tälle talvelle olen asettanut tavoitteekseni ainakin kaksi hiihtoreissua.

That's all today.

Rakkaudella,

Sallamari

Happy Birthday Mom!

Mommy and Me

Dear Mother,

Happy B-day. Today, it would have been your 62nd birthday.

You would be around the time of retirement now. Benefit of dying young enough - there will be no need to stress about all the changes that retirement would bring to your life, also no need for any big retirement plans.

Good for you, your are totally stress free.

Im lucky to have stress free mother. Not all of us have that kind of luck in their life.

What 'bout me. Hmmm...I remember you B-day - such a lovely daughter you have.

To be honest, I remembered it like 15 minutes ago.

At present state of my life  I no longer consciously think you, mostly your absence, at b-day, d-days, memorial days and times likes that. Im still able to remember them, but Im not stuck with them.

I like my life in its current way.

Yeah, by the way - I found your diary, you wrote it when you were 13 or so - and no need to be mad that I actually red it . Agent history, say I.

But I wanted to tell you something, regarding the things you wrote in that diary.

You were 13 and wondering will you ever find your true love, will you ever marry and have children.

Well, Im no one to answer the true love question, that one you have to ask from yourself.

About the marriage, by time of 27 you were sure that you do not want to marry at all. You have me and still did not marry my father - quite a rebel act at 70's, say I. You truly did not believe marriage as an institution. I guess on that field we are kinda like. I got married, cause I went trough all the things that happened after you were gone and decided then to do things bit different when my time comes.  But just like you I do not believe marriage as traditional institution, just like you I believe in love. Marriage for me is an act on companionship more than act of love - for me also, love is so much more. 

Mother, Im  thankful for you to teach me to believe in love it self and not any silly institutions as act of love.

But the kid question Im able to answer.

Well you have me, the slightly loony daughter.

The best one you could ever have.

Im proud to be you daughter.

And ever better, you did not only success to have me - you also have now a very beautiful and snappy granddaughter.

As it goes to having kids -department - my Dear Mother, you have succeeded.

So happy B-day once more.

I do not bring you any flowers or lit any candles for you this year.

I just write you this letter and tell you that I love you.

So much.

So fucking much that it sometimes hurts.

And that reminds me - I have also succeeded lately.

I went trough therapy, and now days when ever loving you or anything else hurts, instead of compulsively binging and purging I cry. After a few dozen of tears, suddenly it all feels a lotta better.

So see Mom, Im not so totally screwed up anymore.

There is hope.

Lots of hope.

But I gotta go now.

We are gonna have little cake here - like you b-day cake youknow.

You might be gone, but not forgotten.

Ever.

'Cause we love you.

Lots of love, Dear Mother.

With Love,

Sallamari

ps. LittleS, Redneck and Charly + MrH and Mau also says Hi and Happy B-day to you.

Christmas Party at Daycare

Angelic Sounds of the Laughing kids 

Christmas Songs singed from the bottom of the heart

Tears in my eyes

Excitement

Love in the air

That is what a Daycare Christmas party is made of.

I feel so honored I was able to be there to witness that all today.

part of me feels a bit guilty of appearing to the party, since I am at sick leave.

put I did not run around the Xmas tree and I tried not to hug and kiss anyone to not spread any bugs.

I felt kinda OK today, and I wanted to witness this party so much.

So I went there.

please, feel free to judge me for mis- use of sick days - I made a choice and fully stand behind it.

mostly at this point it seems that  I need a forgiveness only from my self for this miss-use  matter

After all, they are only little so short time.

Singing Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer

First Duet

a good party  includes inspiring dance moves

Sunday clears away the rust of the whole week

Im so tired at the moment, that I have nothing useful in my mind.

Have been a busy weekend - cleaning, shopping, decorating and cherry on the top; some political activities.

Everything in political field is open at this moment, can't tell any news yet.

What else, well physically Im not feeling my best at the moment.

My skin dislikes winter. 

Itchy red spots appears here and there in my skin all so sudden. This is not the first time something like this happens. And my face is covered with spots and zits. I look like a bloody teenager.

Hair is falling.

All this makes me wanna cry. Why o why? What am I doing wrong this time?

deep inside, I know the answer - I should focus to balance my diet better

that might be the key

Still feeling pretty shit.

Even I am used to be ugly in Winters.

this makes me just hate dislike Winter a tiny bit more.

-11 degree celcius says thermometer today.

Inside my house is nice and cozy.

I put our Christmas socks on yesterday.

'winkwink' mr Sandy Claws, Im prepared.

Front door also got a wreath - its made out of caribou moss.

It is handmade, not totally by me this time. I bought a good blank wreath fixed it with ribbon.

Have you noticed, I added a poll on the left side on the blog.

Im asking my blog readers opinion about language choices.

Please, share you thoughts with me.

I also like to know opinions about some Q&A type of post, whould that be something?

and what about making a Xmas raffle, I could give away maybe something self made.

Any other topic you would like me to post?

Please share your thoughts with me.

With Love,

For someone who likes tattoos, the most precious thing is bare skin.

So this post is dedicated to present my tattoos.

Lovely Bel asked me kindly share some pics of my tattoos, so here we go.

Altogether I have now days more than 20 too many tattoos to count individually.

Once I counted that I have sat far more than 80 hours under tattoo guns. 

(and I liked most of those hours)

But to be honest. If I had never ever taken the first tattoo, I would be totally bare skinned today.

I got my first one under a crisis (in a very bad moment and so on). It is was a one simple water drop - presenting purity and simple things that keeps you alive. (oh, what a drama queen I was on those days). It is all covered up now, hiding under a nautical star.

There is plenty of funny things and stories behind my tattoos. And Im proud to have pretty pics drawn to me by very talented people. Well, there is pics on me drawn by not so talented (or motivated ) artist too.

All the pics below belong to me.
Due to some filing related challenges, I had to borrow MY pics from websites :)

Very early state of my tattoos - around my wedding day
only bits and pieces here and there

my shoulder pics - old Stone Age gave painting from Finland : an elg headed boat

Eddie the Giraffe with some bubbles and dragonfly
(and there is the start that hides my first tattoo underneath it)

Trinity Know Brand
(it is really a scar, branded scar,  outlined with black ink)
And Forver - that one is my declaration for undying love

Sad but true, me and that other Forver are not in speaking terms anymore.
lucky us  love never dies - it only changes it appearance

This is how my back looks  at its current state

Beginning of my  funny colored tattoos -collection

After that more and more color has been added

from be front I look something like this

and this is how my left arm looks like today

After the left arm, we started with right arm

And today my right arm looks like this

Not all of my tattoos are shown here. 

Some of them are currently on so bad shape ( poor (like literally on those days, poor and broke, but had to get a tattoo) unlucky me - note to self : cheap price shit result) that even I do not want to look at them. So Im not showing them to you.

All My lovely Multicolored Artsy Tattoos (aka the flamingo, pony and the colors on my back) are made by Lovely Katariina.

I feel very honored to carry her beautiful work around with  me.

Sometimes I bust out and do things so permanent; like tattoos and marriage

Mitä se sun terapia oikeastaan on - So what is the Therapy after all

Minulle terapia on ullakon siivousta.

Yläkerran sisutusta ja uudelleen organisointia.

Pään sisäisten asioiden uudelleen järjestelyä.

Terapeutti on se sisustussuunnittelija.

Remonttireiskana joutuu häärimään itse.

Raakaa työtä - ei taikuutta ja maagisia loitsuja.

Sori.

Loistava terapiaistunto tänään.

siirreltiin pöytiä - piirretiin ihmisiä ympärilläni

istuttiin selät vastakkain ja kuunneltiin maailman sanomaa musiikista

Olen kiitollinen ja täynnä hyvää oloa.

olo vaihtuu anteeksipyytelystä onnellisuuden ihmetykseen.

Ullakko on hiukan paremmassa järjestyksessä.

*****

For me, therapy is making some major cleaning work to loft section.

Extreme make-over for ones brainy sector.

Re-organization for  Your Internal Affairs

Therapist plays the part for interior designer.

and Yours Truly will be the manpower - the one that makes everything happen.

Hard work - no magic and mystery spells.

Sorry.

I had a generous therapy session today.

table got moved - I drew my a map of my relationships

we sat back to back and listened messages trough lyrics

Attic is a bit better order and feeling more organized again.

Song with a message for me today - I want to share it with you

Päivän viesti - tämä nousi esille tänään. Tahdon jakaa musiikillisen sanoman kanssanne.

You don't need to change the world; you need to change yourself

Such a terrific night last night at Fetish Club.

I met a lady who wowed me.

Lovely  Danni from Germany.

If I would be person, who falls in love invertible and easily, I would be so in love with her already.

There is something about her.

A connection.

We talked about walls - and about breaking them.

Freedom.

She said - one by one they eventually come down.

and you be braver and braver - more complacent - each day.

That night was one of The Nights of my life.

Full of laughter, fun and joy.

first step to tear down some walls that are begging to be broke down.

that are keeping me inside.

there is a World behind my wall.

(sorry for quoting your song title Tokio Hotel, well it is a pretty good title, nice way to say things about boundaries. - and well we can almost find a joke here, german and Tokio Hotel. Got that?)

Today I am letting a wall to go down.

I just bought a gym card for myself 

(havent done that in years - it says in my wall that I hate gyms)

and now Im off to Zumba.

(gonna have so much laugh today)

Im happy that our paths crossed Danni.

It was ment to, I know.

And Im looking forward to meet you again.

(back of my mind I know we gonna have a blast when we meet)

shhhhh. dont tell enyone. I so could fall  for lovely lady from Germany.

this info is just between you and me.

And yes, old grumpy me had so much fun yesterday.

So please, shush, we do not want anyone to know that either.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend.

Im off to Zumba.

With love,

Fever till you sizzle - What a lovely way to burn

Three days of total silence was the doctor's order.

She noted that my throat is in a pretty bad shape.

so total silence now or good amount of speach therapy later...

ouch!

She wondered why my vocal cords are not looking so good.

No idea.

Ultimate threat was given.

if I continue being as vocal as usual, there is (like absolutely is, not like there could be) a huge risk of developing cysts in my vocal cords.

Her recommendation was

 - talk more via FB, Twitter and SMS 

at least this week.

another ultimatum was - no more codein based flu meds.

whatta hell!!!??

they are my lifeline,my cure, they keep me up and running

She called them the False Illusion Providers.

but they make me feel invincible

(the are also not availble in Finland.)

Or Ireland how I miss you and your pharmacies.

My endless source of medication designed to take any flue (or any flue like feeling atleast) away.

Now Im stuck in my bed, here in cold Finland, with some crappy paracetamol and hot berry drinks.

Oh, but Ill survive.

All cheering comments are very welcome.

With Love,

Check-up Time

my exercise equipments

I have spend plenty of time lately on the out side of my confort zome.

Searching the area - trying out new things.

Sofar I have done pretty good.

Emotionally I mean.

Put lately I've noticed that I might have have been  slipping.

Slipping back to eat-vagabondly-to-shut-down-me-feelings -road.

candy here, more cheesecake there, one macaron just after another and 2 cupcakes at the time.

greedygreedy.

but now Im noticing it.

so, practically I feel like a winner.

I would be too much for me to ask myself no to secure at all, on to those familiar -my long time frenemies- surviving methods, while stepping drastically out of my comfort zone

Im not sad or dissapointed to myself at all.

And that is something I state as a personal growth here.

You see, I invested my youth in diets, binges and self-hatred.

so, no more of that road.

I know I need to do some changes, before everything gets too complicated again.

I need to go and see my therapist.

Have a good and long conversation with her.

I need to focus myself and check that I am really breathing.

(checking the fact that I really am breathing lets me focus unconditionally to myself for a moment)

I also need to clarify more what me and my body really wants.

like suffing myself up with six macarons, do i really want that?

most likely I just need feel some comfort.

( I really do not like macrons at all, I just loooove the colorful outlook of them)

I would like to challenge myself to try out rawfood for a week.

Rawfood sounds interestin.
Sofar, I do not have any experience of rawfood and no idea how to start.

but I have a dream  - I want to try rawfood

I said it out loud, so my dream has a form now.

now I wait and search openly, to see where the world has set up the next clue that leads me towards my dream.

Mr H

I hope you all had a good weekend sofar!

( mine is allmost good, this freking flue is spoiling my mood a bit. I hatehatehate whenever a flu stops by to see me)
