The Wonder of Egypt

Pictures by Fernando Prasetyo

EGYPT. After watching and reading about Egypt history, I found that they have amazing cultures. Of course, based on fashion, the one I adore the most is Queen of Egypt - Cleopatra. Until now, she was one of the most famous and powerful women in world history.

Cleopatra was always portrayed as a woman of great beauty, an idea that is given weight by her successful conquests of the world's most powerful men. Some might say that is true, but opinions from an Ancient Greek historian Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus would suggest otherwise.

"For her beauty, as we are told, was in itself not altogether incomparable, nor such as to strike those who saw her; but converse with her had an irresistible charm, and her presence, combined with the persuasiveness of her discourse and the character which was somehow diffused about her behaviour towards others, had something stimulating about it. There was sweetness also in the tones of her voice; and her tongue, like an instrument of many strings, she could readily turn to whatever language she pleased..."

Plutarch, Life of Antony (XXVII)

According to him, her beauty was found in her wit, charm, and the sweetness in tones of her voice. Along with him, another noted historian Cassius Dio also mentioning about her charming voice and her amazing knowledge of how to make herself agreeable to everyone.

Judging on ancient Egyptians coins, she had large and a-bit-crooked nose with prominent chin. Because of that, it seemed like her beauty and her charm was in the way she presented herself, rather than the way she really looked.

Does it really matter? No. But we can learn one thing, true beauty not only come from the outside appearance, but from the inside and the way we presenting ourselves to other people. These kind of beauty would never fade, never grow old, but would forever remain in people's heart.

She might be in the highest position and influence a lot of people, while we are not. But, for me, I just want to start making a difference with people around me - especially to dearest Fernando and my family. And, THIS is my New Year Resolutions. One of them - I mean (Yeah, I have a lot of them! LOL).

I know! This is a pretty long background talk for my today post theme, but I just want to share it with you, guys! Egypt is the theme, so these pair of leggings that I bought from Black Milk Clothing are the most suitable ones!

I am proudly saying that I'm one of the sharkies, that really love Black Milk's products! I bought A LOT, and will post in one by one. If you keep following my blog, you will know that having their leggings is one of my July wish list. I know! It's been such a long time ago, but finally, I have them! Although I'm not really happy with the customs+FedEx charge, but maybe this is a story for another time or else I will keep ranting. LOL.

A few short things that I want to say about their leggings are amazing prints, super tight and sexy, making my legs look slimmer. Yeah, I love them, however they are a little bit too pricey for me. I have to save up first, before buying. But still, I keep wanting for more. I guess, JL is really brainwashing me. >.<

Have you ever bought from them? Tell me about your opinions! :)
