Hello!I have quite a busy day today, this morning i went to the Unie van Vrijwilligers (translated means: Union of Volunteers) to discuss my application for the vacancy of Hostess in Sophia's childrens hospital in Rotterdam.
Im very positive and I've been told that I will be called next week to discuss which days I am available.
After my meeting i went to the public library also in Rotterdam and took some books home with me, they couldn't represent me more at this moment:
Victorian England - W.J. Reader
Girls growing up in late Victorian and Edwardian England - Carol Dyhouse
Geisha - Liza Dalby
Het Pad van eenvoud ( Path of simplicity) - Christina Feldman
Het meditatie handboek ( Meditation Guidebook) - Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
I am currently fascinated with Geisha's and beauty in different times and countries
It is so interesting that Geisha's lived in their own beautiful worlds. If you want to know about Geisha's then I suggest you read geisha by Liza Dalby who lived with a certain group of Geisha's.
Victorian England is an era which really interests me. The fashions of the time and If you ever come across a book about victorian advice on things like womanhood you should definately read it. Yesterday I read a Vcitorian article about make-up and dying your hair etc. I came to the conclusion that we are not that different from them. Now we may critize people about the amount of make up they use or what they do with their hair, People have been complaining about this even 150 years ago. certains things like "why do not women dress their hair to suit the particular character of their own faces, instead of making themselves ugly by following whatever is the fashion" - Mrs. H.R.Haweis, The art of beauty, 1878
I found this article and other articles about beauty in victorian times on this website:
