Trip to V&A

Image
I had a London trip again last week this time to get visa for little one to go to Russia. So I thought must combine the business and pleasure ... and went to V&A.  Originally I intended to see Firda Making herself up. But guess what it sold out! Until Agust! Unless you are member, which I am not. And well briefly considered it but I don’t go to London often enough. But after enquiring at the help desk and a wonder about the museum I went to see Fashioned from Nature.  And it was great!  Basically how humans used nature in fashion... and it’s not nice. Humans aren’t nice when it comes to making clothes.  And upstairs were sustainable fashion... it made me happy and hopeful for the future. This lion cloth is embroidered and it’s fabulous!

I was very mad today... someone said to my mother that I could do with losing some weight.... And my mother being my mother and being outraged too told me. So here are my angry thoughts on the matter. Russian girls worship the beauty. Any beauty. Sometimes at any costs. I never was skinny, I always had curves, not lumps and bumps but very prominent hips and occasional belly. This is the way I am. And it is hard just to be able to accept it. And I am lucky to be with amazing man who doesn't care what shape I am and if I giggle and wiggle.  In my culture it is common for relatives to lay a hand with new addition to the family. Like my step dad's friends recently became grandparents and are at their daughter's almost every day. Well you know so she can have a shower and such I was told. I make do, for me to have shower alone with no one touching my belly button or shoving me around the bath tub is a rare treat... That said I truly miss the physical exertion of the go...

It is super exciting to be moving to Bath... its a super pretty place... But then again it's super scary... leaving the life of 7 years behind...  friends... I don't know where anything is... I know that there is no Cineworld or PureGym... So any advice about where to shop where to go and what to do will be highly appreciated!! We found the flat, big move is on the 7th of January!  Super stressful...Oh and new job! Will need to remember everyone's names... again!   but I'm actually looking froward to work with Sarah and Jon again...
