LadyBohemia — Ajatar muotinäytös RSS


~* an evening of music, fashion defilé & ballet *~

What more could a self-confessed romantic, engaged in a love affair with all things beautiful ask for... You see, I was invited to an event where a rather legendary Finnish boutique Ajatar, specialized in luxury coats, celebrated her 60 years in business. With a superb performance by two dancers from the National Ballet, a very cool fashion show, a live concert.. Quite an exquisite evening. I'll let the pictures speak.

Personally, I'm green with envy.[/caption] * [caption id="attachment_10356" align="aligncenter" width="500"]http://ladybohemia.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/sirpa-kajo-pipsa-lagus-ilkka-ruotsalainen-hannele-herttua.jpg Sirpa Kajo, Pipsa Lagus, Ilkka Ruotsalainen, Hannele Herttua.

With a warm welcoming word for everyone.[/caption] * [caption id="attachment_10361" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Ok, this is then the Princess of the evening. The always enchanting Heli Kajo.[/caption] Then the Grande Finale. Performed by dancers Kare Länsivuori and Minna Tervamäki. With such intensity;  of separation, despair, caress. After their dance I simply had to leave the crowd, to protect that feeling they brought to life somewhere deep my heart. And it carried me all the way home, as I wandered through the rainy stormy streets of Helsinki. Thank you for this evening ♥. Thank you Sari, thank you Sissi, thank you all you wonderful artists. And me then... As usual, I walked home with both feet firmly off the ground. ~*♥*~

~* a rare songbird *~

Yesterday I was invited to an event where ballerinas soared sky high, fashion models strutted their stuff - and gorgeous clothes - and songbird Heli Kajo belted her heart out. I actually had the opportunity to meet Heli in person... Wow. After all those months of summer in France, when her songs filled my car where ever I went, that was A MOMENT for me. Me, I was nervous, she even nicer, funnier, sweeter, cooler and so much more elegant than I could have  imagined. And after, she sang straight to my heart. Tomorrow, I'll tell you about the ballerinas who danced their way to the core of my being... But as of today, the little heart is full. ~*♥*~
