Once found some solace in the season of yule

Just back from my winter vacations. I had a wonderful trip on the ship from Finland to Estonia. After all I realized that small and lovely towns of Suomi is where I want to stay and work. So peaceful, clean and sweet. Just like a dream) But I need to tell about Old Town of Tallin too. It's unique place with Medieval atmosphere, Christmas markets, fortress, taverns with candles...Beautiful Baltic sea at the end!

                                      (One of my favourite towns on the Earth - winter Porvoo)

  (St.Brigitta ruined monastery in Tallinn. This construction is staggering. When I was walking  through this picturesque ruins I remembered Carfax Abbey from the film "Bram Stoker's Dracula")

                                                   (The main square of Tallinn and Town Hall)

                 (Tallin is also famous for it's glogg. I can sell my soul just for the smell of this glogg! ^^) 

                                                             (A little unusualy for January, eh?)

                                                                        (Kind of magic!)

What will your daddy do when he sees your mama kissin' Santa Claus?

Christmas has passed, and I had no time to enjoy its magic moments. Too much work, too many nerves for exams and study. Thanks God, now I can leave it all behind! However, I'm still do not feel relax. Oh how much I  want to plunge into the fairy-tale atmosphere like in the Nutcracker! A huge Christmas tree, decorated with candies and different toys, candles, twilight, mystery ...To cheer myself, I decided to do a little shopping :) Stars were supportive to me! I found some lovely vintage things. Hope they will be useful to me in the New Year's Eve!

She's got cemetery eyes

Yesterday tormented by insomnia, I was sorting out old photos on my computer. I accidentally stumbled upon the pictures taken this summer at the old Lutheran cemetery. When I was younger and spent more time among the goths of my city visits to the cemetery were very frequent. I love the peaceful atmosphere of the cemetery, exquisite vintage headstones, silence. But nowdays because of my work and studies I do not have much time for that. So every time when I can get there with friends it becomes a bit of a holiday, lil carnival of death:)

So slowly goes the night

Last days have been marked by a tender sadness. It was born by Nick Cave's music, as I listen to it every free minute. His husky voice touches my heart. I like reckless fast tracks, listening to which I imagine as bullets pierce the body of lyrical hero. But more  pleasure brings to me slow love songs with jazz overtones - they reveals Cave's talent  the most. I often lie in bed and listening to his music imagine myself among the "romantic gangsters", he sings about) 

By the way "Mob city" is very nice example of noir! I really enjoy watching it.

The opportunity to travel - one of those things that make me truly happy. I can long and eagerly viewed on a map the places where I have not been yet. Spirit of Travel beckons me! :) One of the most attractive regions for me in this regard is Asia. This is the place where life abounds and where routine is not like ours. This fall I got the chance to go to India and see with my own eyes the places I read about a lot as a student of cultural studies. Oh enchantment of the East! ...
(Places that were visited are New Delhi, Mount Abu, Udaipur, Ranakpur, Varanasi, Khajuraho)

Hello stranger!

My name is Grace Hollow Doll. You can ask why? Well...It's seems to me that we are all dolls in this world. Someone will come and play with us, our bodies and hearts. I feel so empty inside that since I was young I've been trying to fill the void in my soul by thousands different things: art, photography, litterature and poetry, decadance, gothic subculture, esoterism, astrology, eastern culture and religions, dark music. All this has contributed to the formation of my personality. And now I am who I am. I adore travelling. Travelling is a real phylosophy. So I can describe myself in a few words: I am only a wanderer in this world who wants to leave her mark. 

I Had A Dream, Joe

 I'm madly in love with American cinema of 20-50s. Gorgeous men, fatal beauty, languid jazz - all incredibly beautiful and mysterious world full of feelings and passions. If I could choose an era in which I want to live it would definitely be XX century. Amazingly eventful era, the heyday of science and the development of new forms of art. Especially the beginning of the century. This time have it's own unforgettable style and charm. Stunning costumes and luxury evening dresses, long gloves, hats ...Recently I got into the interior reminded me gorgeous retro movies. And could not resist a moment to imagine myself in the place of Hollywood film stars.
