Fairy Ballerina

When I was just a little girl... I loved being a ballerina. Today I still enjoy going to the ballet. It's about the grace, the elegance, the powerful fluid movement.

Seeing these fairy ballerinas at an upscale mall in Makati recently made me smile. Must be the little girl in me.

The lit figures were nicely reflected in the windows, and when the images are enlarged you may find some other fun reflections, so I am linking with James' Weekend Reflections.

To everyone visiting today: Merry Christmas Eve!

[MyWorld] Ladies in Red

It was mid-afternoon, right after a leisurely lunch, when we came out of an upscale mall close to downtown Shenzhen and I saw these pretty young women dressed up... as what? flamenco dancers?... also leaving the building.

And that is truly my world in China, always full of surprises; often delightful, sometimes painful, and other times just plain mind boggling. 

I post this for MyWorld Tuesday as well as for Ruby Tuesday. Join us there for the fun!

Riding a Red Horse

This handsome young man on a red "horse" was dancing to Indian music at a New Delhi trade show I attended in February. His task was to bring to visitors' attention the additional exhibitors housed in tents beside the main venue. He sure got my attention!

I thought he'd make a splendid offering to Mary's Ruby Tuesday. Don't you? Click the link for more links to REDs.

Dancers in Red

Guangxi, 2006

These dancers in red I captured at a cultural show in China a few years ago are presented for Mary's Ruby Tuesday. The link will take you to many more interesting takes on the color RED.
