Rodizio Steak and Pasta Restaurant Barcelo Foodie
Today, I wanted to make a foodie bog about the Rodizio. The Rodizio is a restaurant inside the Barcelo Maya Palace. It does both steak and pasta, just like it says in the sign. Of course, it isn’t fair to summarize the experience in that single sentence. So, I am going to narrate the entire dining experience. This should give you a general idea as to what to expect of your visit. The first thing we had to do was get a reservation. All the fancy restaurants in the Barcelo Resort are by reservations. We chose to dine on...
Teresita Blanco Self Portraits Britto and Picasso Style
Today, I wanted to show you two new self-portraits. I was mimicking the painting style of Romero Britto and Pablo Picasso. Both have pretty similar cubism style. Picasso is classical cubism, while Britto is soft Cubism. Picasso likes to have plain backgrounds, while Britto likes colorful backgrounds. Both artists are visually comparable. This is why I chose to make two self-portraits in their styles. The first painting I wanted to talk about is the self-portrait I made Pablo Picasso style. I looked through my closet to find a dress that looked a bit cubist. I also wore a cute yellow...
Barcelo Maya Palace Wall Art Décor Travel
Today, I wanted to write a blog about some of the nice décor I saw in the Barcelo Maya Palace. When one talks about a resort, it is important to talk about the ambience. It depends on what you consider important. As for me, I like to look at random decorations and blog about them. The first thing I wanted to talk about are these cute figurines. They are ceramics that are drawn over. Most of them feature faces of maidens in different outfits. It has quite the peculiar cartoonish style that is quite charming. In the gift...
Hollow Knight Bretta and Zote Barbie Movie Fanart
Today, I made a new Hollow Knight fanart. I blended it with the Barbie movie. Barbie and Ken are being playing with Bretta and Zote the Mighty. I chose his mighty form because this scene is taking place inside Bretta’s fantasy. She is playing with her little dolls, while she fantasizes going on adventures with Zote. Zote in the real world is just as insecure in Ken. Just like Ken, Zote also likes to philosophize about big topics he doesn’t understand. Instead of a car, I had the characters riding the last Stag. I added Barbie colors to the stag’s...
BJD Mariachi Ballerina Dollmore Odette Photoshoot
Today, I got around to making a new bjd doll photoshoot. The ballerina doll, the wig and the outfit were made by Dollmore. The silly Mariachi hat was bought in Cancun. I was down in Mexico vacationing when I found a few items that would work as props for my bjd photoshoots. The drawer is another one of those props. The fan and the decorative bison skull are also new. It is interesting how adding a bit of color jazzes up the look of any type of skull. Different types of skulls should be painted...
