THE MOST BRILLIANT DESIGNER...

"Nature is the most brilliant designer of all, and the secret is in the seasson"...Carole Jackson.

"Some colors work for all skin tones and hair colors, because they fall into the middle of the color spectrum, meaning they're not too warm or too cool" says Leatrice Eiseman, author of the Color answer book.

And this is true, because some hues bring out the best ineveryone, when they are used mostly cases 'on top'  close to the face, regardless of skin tone or hair color. On of the  most flattering color is : The Eggpant (Aubergine).

"A perfect marriage of purple and marrón, and an interesting relief from deeper, more somber shades, Aubergine (the French word for eggplant) has become a classic". said Eseman.

She calls the Eggplant tone "the perfect purple", because is extremely versatile, almost like a black, a dark brown and, or a navy.

Eggplant, is one of the four most flattering colours for all people.

THE BRYANT'S SUMMER FACE...

The Bryant Park, which was named to honor the New York Evening Post editor and abolitionist William Cullen Bryant, is a natural landmark, in New York City, located strategically between Fifth and Sixth Avenues and between 40th and 42nd Streets in Midtown Manhattan, close to Time Square and The Grand Central Terminal.

Although is part of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, Bryant Park is managed by a private not-for-profit corporation, the Bryant Park Corporation. The park is cited as a model for the success of public-private partnerships.

Bryant Park is built entirely over an underground structure which houses the New York Public Library's archives, that is located within the park, making Sixth Avenue the park's primary entrance.

In the 1980s, the park was closed to the public and excavated. The new library facilities were built below ground level and the park was restored above it.

The first time that I saw  the Bryant Park was in the 2003, to assist to the New York Fashion Week, event that until the 2011 took place in this beautiful place. Since them, I love it, place that  is one of my father's favorite  in New York too.

People usually goes to the Bryant Park, at the summer season besides others activities,  to play pétanque,  that  is a French game of “boules” (French for balls), where each player strives to throw metal balls as close as possible to a smaller wooden ball, named the “cochonnet”,  and to play Ping Pong at The Tables, or chess game, juggling, or to practice the Tai Chi, the internal China martial art, to see dancing shows and to see the HBO Bryant Park Films series, to read in the readers area or simply to take the sun like on the best hot beach.

  

But the park, all around the year, is  the  New York Yuppies's favorite place, to have lunch  or go after work and  depart and meet friends.
