Sur une coiffure à double chignon, deux bougies roses se dressent fièrement : Bon anniversaire !  hibis 		It was very hot here this day, and the straw hat was essential. One can hardly make more ventilated; very ecologist. It's art, without any doubt.
Out of competition is this true straw hat, going to the the market (CLIC). No mockery for the poor man trying to earn some money.


A beautiful cap with visor lined. In Japan, the mask would distinguish a person with a cold; would it be here for pollution (exhausts)?

The whole is very neat, the perfect outfit; the class! Traditional Vietnamese dress slit high, but with pants !! Doc. TV 		Is SHE going to inspect some hives, or is it a new fashion ? 
Not at all, its the new protective hat from the sun like in the Sahara desert. At the sea side then ? no, at the French Alps mountains.
It's a little over-equipped, unless sh is forced dans les Alpes. hibis
In the past, a tissue was stuck in the hat or, failing that, protruding from the shirt collar.

About this disputable luxury, the high cost of these lenses, created by a talented ophthalmologist, is used to treat the poors'sight, what is ultimately, Brown eyes and Blue eyes.
at first glance, nothing can be done.. Except that all eyes would have a backgroud blue, more or less masked by another shade.
So just laser destroy those pigments and that's it, the eyes turn blue. There would be some serious disadvantages, including the loss of natural protection impossible to restore.
