Ideal Woman Through the Decades

 Nowadays Marylin Monroe had to be on a drastic diet and if Angeline Jolie moved to the 50s she would directly must have gone to ER with the symptoms of starvation. The features which are to determine who is an icon of a beaty are changing every decade.

Let's have a look how the cannon of female beauty has changed during the decades.

Norma Jean was 166 cm high and had big hips and massive thighs. In 50s she was a sex symbol and even the image of perfect woman has been changed she still remains it!

Let's go to the 60s. Below you can see the top model of these times – Miss Twiggy. She dethroned Marylin Monroe. Her biggest attitudes were big eyes and narrow features of her face. She has been chosen a face of a year 1966 by magazine “Daily Express”. Some were admiring her petite figure, some were accusing her of promoting anorexia. She was not only a model – she became an actress and a singer as well. (from 2005 she is a member of jury in “America's Next Top Model”)

Jade Fonda became famous thanks to playing in Barbarella movie as a main character. She was sexy and tough. In the 70s she was on all the posters and millions of men admired her. She was the ideal body of the 70s. She has admitted she had some cosmetic surgeries done.

There was a little helper in setting a cannon of beauty in the 80s. It was a Barbie doll. The body size of the doll is impossible to reach by a normal woman yet thousands of women are trying to do everything to look like one. Barbie has been propagating an image of a blond in pink clothes. The celebrity who was trying to be like her the most was for example Britney Spears.

Let's move to the 90s. Here among thin, tall, symmetrical models we find Kate Moss. She's been an icon from the 90s and still is. She's thin, bandy-legged and has original teeth. Despite all these, she's an icon of a beauty and lots of women would like to look like her. She's been described as a normal girl with a twist. Maybe it's her personality that matters?

We have to mention another icon of the 90s and the beginning of 21^st century – Angelina Jolie.

She's charismatic and mysterious but also pale and thin, Rubens wouldn't pay attention at all... But millions of women dream to be her.

Who do you think will be next dream girl of the decade? As you see there are no rules when it comes to be beautiful, even if you don't look like Angelina, it doesn't mean that you can't be a cannon of the beauty. If you want to make a try register with candi models and come for a photoshoot!

Animated Photography

Today we would like to present you something we find very interesting. 

New York Fashion Photographer Jamie Beck in collaboration with web designer Kevin Burg have presented recently an amazing gallery. 

They made an exhibition of photos which at first sight look just like professional photography shots. However when you look closer there is something about the photos, you just can't stop looking at them. They are animated 'GIFS'. 

The inventors called them 'cinemagraphs'. 

Basically they separated some parts of the pictures and made them move by putting into GIF file few pictures in sequence. It looks amazing. Because only one selected part of the picture is moving you still get the feeling of this being a photo as all the other things stand still. 

It looks like the photography reached another dimension. 

Of course you won't be able to print it and have this effect on paper but nowadays it's not a problem at all, with all the flat digital screens we simply replace paper with 'digital sheets'. their gallery got lots of reviews and all the Internet is talking about this phenomena. 

People love the concept. 

Does it mean that some other artists will continue to apply this technique?And soon the concept will be something we will be expecting from modern photography? 

Is it a new chapter of photography?

What's Victoria's Secret?

Recently we could enjoy this year Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
But it is not an usual fashion show - the best singers perform while the models present the costumes, everybody wants to find out what were this year costumes and arrangements and who got the chance to be victoria's secret angel. It is a spectacular performance.
As always the costumes were magnificent and models looked stunning.
All fashion world every year is waiting for this event and every model would like to be a part of this show. But being engaged to present the costumes is not enough. The models have to prepare properly for the show. Before each show the models don't eat food for 9 days, they drink only high protein cocktails. On twelve hours before the show they stop drinking even water. In addition they exercise twice a day. And it is not some easy exercise. They lift the dumbbells, they are boxing and they do the skipping rope. So it is a very hard work with lots of sacrifice. But at the end of the day they all say it is worth it. Adriana Lima said that after appearing on the Victoria's Secret show the models keep on receiving amazing work opportunities.  

Everybody wants to hire Victoria's Secret Angels. 

The show is like a fairy tale - the models are beautiful, the costumes are magical.

Lucky us, Victoria's Secret is planning to open a 16,500 square foot store on the capital's New Bond Street in 2012.

Fairly soon women across the country could be dressing like this ;)
