A smile

Everyone smiles in the same language.
So often on the catwalk or an editorial, smiling is not allowed and we see models with pouty and stony stares. It is lovely to see a happy smiling face.

Fashion shoot Vogue, photograph by Sergi Pons, I love the photo, of these sweet children.

Let's use our facial muscles and smile! ~ hope that you have been having a fun weekend and had something to smile about.

Thanks you for all the wonderful comments you have left for me, here at my blog and to new followers. Blogging is so much fun and I marvel at all the wonderful blogs I visit, many thanks.

Happy weekend to all, my friends.
Hugs
Carolyn

  2. I used to wonder why it isn't allowed to smile in the catwalk, until I figured it out myself. Just as I figured why models must look like skeletal.

    I love the smiling children, last photo too.

    Have a great weekend Caroline. :)

  4. Hi dear Carolyn
    You always have such interesting posts and this is no exception.
    I agree, I can't understand why models must always look so numb and bored.
    I'm sure it doesn't detract from the clothes to smile - to the contrary I'd have thought.
    Your gorgeous image of the children is proof of that!!!
    Do have a wonderful week.
    hugs

  5. Hi Carolyn,

    Me too. I always wondered about the catwalk pouts. Who would want to wear clothes that made you unhappy right? The children's photo is a adorable.
    all the best!
