Se lasa cu un Dragobete micut si dragut in aceasta saptamana…nu? 🙂 Stiu ca vremea glasuieste povesti despre potoape, rascoale de nouri, mitinguri organizate sau nu… de picaturi si de fulgi, dar… precum vitejii din poveste, dragostea si iubirea vor birui! Ador povestile cu happy end, chiar daca de multe ori, nu vad pe „happy” de „end”… 🙂

Cred ca v-am zis de nenumarate ori ca sunt o nationalista convinsa. De n-as fi trait printre straini… poate as fi parut fandosita. Sarbatorile noastre au un usor iz exotico-mistic: rusalii si sanziene, babe, mosi, paparude, armindeni, etc… la care se adauga suavul Dragobete, echivalent autohton pentru Cupidon, sau Eros… dar navalnic fiu de Baba Dochie. Pentru detalii consultati Wikipedia. 😉

Nu cred ca exista vreo tinuta mai potrivita sau mai putin potrivita pentru un eveniment ca acesta. Incercati sa purtati ceva feminin, care sa va scoata in evidenta in egala masura fragilitatea si focul interior, fiti moderne dar clasice, rebele, dar accesorizate cu priviri pline de promisiuni. Nu uitati, gestica este in sine o accesorizare! Ceea ce as dori cu ardoare sa va insuflu este impulsul de a folosi, in cadrul tinutei alese, elemente vestimentare traditionale sau de inspiratie folclorica. E Dragobetele, e roman… hai Romania! 🙂 Nu va imbracati in costum popular, caci moda inseamna mult mai mult decat atat… dar, o naframa, o ie, un pieptar, o cingatoare, niste podoabe… pana si o pereche de sosete de lana, pot deveni accesorii inedite si stylish. Nu aveti asa ceva? Procurati-va! Sunt targuri, magazine de souvenir-uri, balciuri, magazine de tip „Fondul Plastic”, tarabe pe margine de drum in toata tara asta, care gem de produse, haine si podoabe romanesti…

Eu port cu multa mandrie astazi sosetele de lana si braul de la propria nunta. M-am casatorit in Maramures, in straie populare. A fost o experienta unica, mulata perfect pe sufletul si pe trairile mele interioare. Piesele sunt lucrate manual, braul a fost realizat special pentru mine. Mie imi place sincer ce mi-a iesit si ce transmit cu aceasta tinuta. Poate ca ar fi trebuit sa am doua cosite, dar parul meu nu permite si cred ca as fi dus tinuta intr-un usor ridicol 🙂 , poate ar fi trebuit sa am un machiaj mai elaborat… dar distanta dintre hotararea de a face pozele si momentul propriu-zis al acestora, a fost lung cat o pauza mare la scoala… 🙂 Nu ma scuz, nici nu ma acuz. Am ales sa fiu necoafata pentru un plus de tinerete. Da, luati aminte la mine: cu cat mai aranjate, cu atat mai „babificate”… din nefericire (o citez acum pe doamna Sarbu, mama mea, care toata viata mi-a spus ca mersul la coafor, adauga cel putin 5 ani la varsta din buletin 😛 ). 🙂 Probat si constientizat!

Acestea fiind spuse, va doresc un Dragobete plin de iubire, alint si pasiune. Nu faceti economie de zambete si glume, sarutati-va mult, beti un pahar de vin de calitate si traiti-va fanteziile. Va pup tare si apasat!

Will have to deal with a little, cute „Dragobete” this week … right? (romanian equivalent for Valentine’s Day) 🙂 I know that the weather speaks stories of floods, gathering clouds, organized rallies or not … of rain drops and snow flakes, but … like the brave ones in all poetic stories, love will conquer all! I love stories with happy end, even if I often do not see „happy” because of the „end” … 🙂

I think I have told you many times that I am a convinced nationalist. If I had not lived among strangers … maybe I would have seemed fanciful. Our celebrations are seen often as slightly exotic-mystical experiences: „rusalii” and „sanziene”, the old ladies, the old gentlemen, „paparudele„, „armindeni„, etc. … plus „Dragobete„, the romanian equivalent for Cupid, or Eros … but the son of „Baba Dochia„. For details, please follow the links I just gave you. 😉

I do not think there is a more or a less suitable outfit for an event like this. Try to wear something feminine, that will equally highlight your fragility and your inner fire, be modern, but classical, rebellious, but glamorous. Do not forget, gesture is in itself, an accessory! What I would most like to inspire is the impulse to use, in the chosen outfit, traditional clothing or folkloric inspirational elements. It’s Dragobete, it’s romanian … Go Romania! 🙂 Do not dress in a complete popular costume, because fashion means a lot more than that … but a kerchief, a blouse, a weste, a bracelet, some jewels … even a pair of wool socks, can become unique and stylish accessories. You do not have that? Get some! There are fairs, souvenir shops, art stores, roadside stalls all over the country, jamming with romanian products, clothes and adornments …

I proudly wear today, the socks of wool and the belt I have been wearing at my own wedding. I married in Maramures, in a traditional ceremony. It was a unique experience, perfectly matching my soul and my inner feelings. The pieces are handmade, the belt was specially made for me. I honestly love what came out of this outfit and the message it is sending out there. Maybe I should have had two mowings but my hair does not allow it and I think I would have taken the outfit in a slightly ridiculous direction :), maybe I should have had a more elaborate makeup … but the distance between the decision to do thephotos and the actual moment, was like a long school break… 🙂 I do not apologize, nor accuse myself. I chose to wear my hair like this for a plus of youth. Yes, mark my words: the more you arrange your hair, the more old you look … unfortunately (I quote now Mrs. Sarbu, my mother, who told me all my life that going to the hairdresser, adds at least 5 years to my age :P). 🙂 Been there, done this…

That being said, I wish you a happy, loving and passionate Dragobete. Do not save smiles and jokes, kiss a lot, drink a glass of quality wine and live your fantasies. Kiss you all loud and clear!
