Of Flowers and Lies!

................................copyright by pine aple..........................

Oh, what a day!

 It seems like I´m back to life!
Spring is here, and I hope it came to stay :)

what I totally love about this years spring are the floral prints!

Je t´aime le vetements avec de fleurs! I´m not so much the person wearing it but I´d like some accsesoires featuring flowers... Anyway, In the last time there´s one person that´s so (in)famous and there´s no way around her anymore.

Lana Del Rey.

To be serious most of my friends hate her,

 but as I´m trying to be honest; here´s MY opinion:

So, first, Lana Del Rey is no real person. Well, just as much as pine aple is. Elizabeth Lizzy Grant built up an art-figure called Lana and it seems like it worked quite well. Lizzys music is one thing, Lanas image another, but you see, that´s not so far away from what sookie and me are doing.
Sookie and Pine Aple are no persons. They are our web-identity.

We gave them a name, an image and opinions but different to Del Rey we didn´t give

them a face to discuss about or a voice to judge about.

So, personaly I do not dislike her studio records. They´re not so much my style but they´re

actually not that bad at all. BUT: Lana Del Rey as the art-project to me is terribly interesting and well done.

your opinion? get talking & leave a comment :)

 Oh, and one of the dreamers left a comment and gave a recomendation on the

Pretty Little Liars - books and I need to say that they make addicted. Thanks for the tip!

The funny thing is it seems like I have a bit of all the characters inside me.

Aria, the different (my fav); Spencer, the achiever; 

Emily, the shy swimmer and even Hanna, the "social"...

Anyone read the books/followed the liars on tv?

Stay Green!

Madeleines&Movies

Hey there, World and Wonderland!

Right after "Carpe Diem" I got up around 7 o´clock this morning and finished the 

Madeleines for which i had to do the batter the day before. 

Anyway before that I need to say something to sookies last post about KONY 2012. Movies like that are there to think about. Being blind and just seeing black and white unfortunately doesn´t help.

So I´ll start of with a little nonsense theme:

 

yes, i did think about this fact and really figured out some true positive aspects of being a movie figure ;) 

1. If i was a good person I would be pretty!

just think of all the Princesses, think of Alice (she´s somehow cute, isn´t she?), 

Tinkerbell or Nala from the Lion King.

2. If I was evil I´d have a crazy laugh!

even better than being pretty...

3. Every sad moment would be followed by a happy second!

4. I´d have my own soundtrack!

And if something bad was about to happen I´d know in advance ;)

5. Love would always find its way!

6. Magic existed 

(at least in the disney movies I watch...)

So, as I have annoyed you enough with stuff like that here´s my weekend-project: Madeleine-Muffins :D as my blogger-friend from Nerdsworld asked me for a Recipe for Madeleines I tried one out and on the right you can see the result! It wasn´t that hard at all and they don´t taste as much like the cookies of the evil side as the stuff I normaly bake does.
But as I don´t own any Madeleine-pan I did them in mini-pans for pralines or mini-muffins... so it´s my variation of Madeleines Classiques but it´s the same thing :)

here´s what you need, the full recipe from smitten kitchen you can find here.

got something to say about food, disney or the rest of your life?

Shut up and Smile

Her fingers were still cold from the walk home and her mouth still slightly curled upwards from the smile that accompanied her the whole morning long.Hey there!

I´m in a terribly good mood cause i finished my semester-tests!!! two small revisions are following, but still!

so, as i´m riding on a wave of motivation here´s the random blah-blah of the week:

i wish spring was here, cause it´s so terribly long ago that i left the house
WITHOUT tons of clothes i need to wear so i don´t freeze to death
(as some people in russia or sibiria really do, which makes me sad)
I am fed up with running ´round with a blanket wrapped around myself inside the flat.
I´m fed up with seeing pictures of pure sunlight and being jealous.
I´m fed up with wearing tights under my jeans (no, seriously, i am.)

I wish the birds and the sun and the cool spring fashion collections would come back
and even though i know it´s normal to be cold in febuary, i still hate it.
