Vida

My dear  friend Vida Samadzai was born in 1980 in Kabul, Afghanistan. She is Miss Afghanistan 2003. The first Afghan woman to participate in an international beauty pageant since 1974. She represented Afghanistan in Miss Earth beauty pageant in 2003 and was given a special "beauty for a cause" award at that competition.

Vida has earlier worked in Subhash Ghai’s Black and White and claims that Ghai has asked her not to leave the film industry. Ask her if she thinks the Indian film industry will work wonders for her, as it has done for some international actors, and she smiles mischievously, “I don’t have a Salman Khan to help me bag a lead role. In the Hindi film industry foreign actresses are instantly offered item numbers. It is not that I don’t want to do them...if it’s a good production house why not? I want to do challenging roles and would wait for the right scripts.” And there is more! def more of this pretty lady coming!

When i was down in India Mumbai we got the chance to celebrate her birthday all together it was a very fun night out, and we captured some really un memories togther.

 Two days ago at Lakme India Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2009 - Day 1 Bombay, India, our dear Vida  starts the show and walks the runway in the Archana Kochhar show at Grand Hyatt in Bombay, India.

Im really proud of this women, she is not just beautiful but indeed a very smart and sharp lady to watch and learn from..

 "I guess that beauty pageant helped shaped me," she says. "Because now I want to be 'the first' to do many things. I want to cross boundaries and milestones. I want to be the best, to do my best, to help change the world. I'm definitely not afraid of controversy anymore," she says, smiling.

On her life philosophy:

"Be optimistic and treat every individual with the respect you would like to receive. Because of the beauty pageant controversy, some women in the world consider me an inspiration. That's an honour to me and I treasure that responsibility. So I would never want to serve as a bad example for anyone."

Got her! hope Shoooo

 

Hafiz my light!

O fool, do something, so you won't just stand there looking dumb.

If you are not traveling and on the road, how can you call yourself a guide?

In the School of Truth, one sits at the feet of the Master of Love.

So listen, son, so that one day you may be an old father, too!

All this eating and sleeping has made you ignorant and fat;

By denying yourself food and sleep, you may still have a chance.

Know this: If God should shine His lovelight on your heart,

I promise you'll shine brighter than a dozen suns.

And I say: wash the tarnished copper of your life from your hands;

To be Love's alchemist, you should be working with gold.

Don't sit there thinking; go out and immerse yourself in God's sea.

Having only one hair wet with water will not put knowledge in that head.

For those who see only God, their vision

Is pure, and not a doubt remains.

Even if our world is turned upside down and blown over by the wind,

If you are doubtless, you won't lose a thing.

O Hafiz, if it is union with the Beloved that you seek,

Be the dust at the Wise One's door, and speak!

Hafiz

I grew up with this man and his poetry and his words and spirits,As my late father was a big fan, I had just been too busy past years to remember him, but this is what i was and i will keep it close to my heart!

We can learn alot from him, one of the greatest poets of the world! Hafiz

Coco Chanel

Despite being born into poverty, Chanel parlayed her simple, clean sensibility into a decades-long run as the queen of Parisian haute couture. Her guiding principle that a garment is only luxurious if it’s comfortable appealed to women, and her iconic Chanel jacket is possibly the most imitated piece of clothing ever.

My Ladies and gentlemen’s Her genius can be summed up in one of her quotes: “Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.”

The moment I have  been waiting for is here -- the trailer for "Coco avant Chanel" (Coco Before Chanel) is on Youtube!

Yipppieee

It's just too bad I  can't understand a word of it. The movie is all in French and so far we haven't been able to find a sneak peek of the movie with subtitles, but I was lucky I had my beautifull friend Miss Frenchy next to me yesteday and she was used as my ultimate fashion translator.

Audrey Tautou is gorgeous as a young Coco. While the actress is inevitably put in every role that calls for a young French woman, regardless of whether she's right for the part or not,she looks damn stunning, I love the simplicity and elegance in her look

Watch the trailer and tell us what you think -- will you be seeing this movie as soon as it comes out? I will be running to Icaria cant miss this one!
