it's all love mother hen 💜 life would be boring without you

Wait, wdym "the two weeks Kurenai spent trying to teach her pole dancing"? You're telling me that Anko CAN'T pole dance? ANKO???

If I say too much @idreamofdango is gonna try and steal my kidneys, but yeah. Anko is flexible, athletic, marginally capable of makeup and decently pretty when she’s not gnawing on your kneecaps… but she is completely tone deaf and has no sense of rhythm. It was awful watching Kurenai struggle before realizing she works better without music and just kinda set her off to “find her style” when it came to the flashy moves.

The Blue Door. (This is not a dead end. The archway on the left opens onto a street).

La Porta blu. (No se trata de un callejón sin salida. El arco a la izquierda se abre a una calle).

(English / Español / Italiano)

A door catches our eye as we stroll through Ruga Giuffa in Venice. We are magnetised by the intense turquoise blue colour (like Mishima's eyes 😻) and the oriental shapes, reminding us that Venice was a gateway to the Orient.

Ruga Giuffa is the area where the first Armenian community settled. ´´Ruga´´ is a street with rows of shops on either side walkable only on foot. This Ruga takes its name from Giuffa or Julfa, a suburb of Ispahan in present-day Iran. The Armenians had to flee from their homeland which was destroyed and plundered by the Persian King Schach-Abas. The Armenians of the Ruga Giuffa traded in silk, cotton fabrics, wool and dyes imported from the East.

Una puerta llama nuestra atención cuando paseamos por Ruga Giuffa en Venecia. Nos sentimos magnetizados por ese color azul turquesa intenso (como los ojos de Mishima😻) y esas formas orientales, que nos recuerdan que Venecia fue puerta a Oriente.

Ruga Giuffa, es la zona donde se asentó la primera comunidad de armenios. La ´´Ruga´´ es una calle con hileras de comercios a cada lado sólo transitable a pie. Esta Ruga toma el nombre de Giuffa o Julfa, suburbio de Ispahan, en la actual Irán. Los armenios tuvieron que huir de su tierra natal destruida y saqueada por el Rey de Persia, Schach-Abas. Los armenios de la Ruga Giuffa se dedicaron al comercio de la seda, tejidos de algodón, lana y tintes que importaban de Oriente.

Passeggiando per Ruga Giuffa a Venezia, una porta cattura la nostra attenzione. Ci sentiamo magnetizzati dal colore blu turchese intenso (come gli occhi di Mishima 😻) e le forme orientali ci ricordano che Venezia era una porta d'Oriente.

Ruga Giuffa è la zona in cui si è insediata la prima comunità armena. La ´´Ruga´´ è una strada con file di negozi su entrambi i lati percorribile solo a piedi. Questa Ruga prende il nome da Giuffa o Julfa, un sobborgo di Ispahan nell'attuale Iran. Gli armeni dovettero fuggire dalla loro patria, distrutta e saccheggiata dal re persiano Schach-Abas. Gli armeni della Ruga Giuffa commerciavano in seta, tessuti di cotone, lana e tinture importate dall'Oriente.

Le bionde trecce, gli occhi azzurri e poi...

Ieri un blog che seguo, postando questa foto del giocatore del Napoli e della Nazionale Giovanni Di Lorenzo, ha scritto che è un Apollo.

L'aggettivo che si rifà all'estetica del Dio Greco vale in italiano giovane di grande bellezza, per lo più in frasi (talora ironiche) come essere un a.; parere, credersi un a. (e, più spesso con la maiuscola, essere, sembrare un Apollo), con riferimento alle raffigurazioni scultoree o pittoriche del dio (voce Apollo, Vocabolario Treccani).

Tolta la dimensione ironica, assente in quel post, mi è venuto in mente che rispetto ad Apollo, Di Lorenzo ha i capelli di un altro colore. Sembrerà un particolare strano, ma la Mitologia Antica ha nella dimensione tricologica un aspetto niente affatto secondario.

Partiamo da una tradizione comune: Apollo, che era molto più che il dio del sole, aveva i capelli neri, con riflessi viola (oggi diremmo corvini). Il mito della sua nascita è meraviglioso: figlio di Zeus e della titanide Leto (o Latona), fu concepito nell'ennesima avventura extraconiugale del Re degli Dei (il tono è volutamente divertito); Era, come sempre furiosa delle avventure amorose del marito, venuta a sapere che Leto fosse incinta di Zeus, proibì alla partoriente di dare alla luce suo figlio su qualsiasi terra, fosse essa un continente o un'isola. Disperata, Leto vagò fino a giungere sull'isola di Delo, appena sorta dalle acque e, stando al mito, ancora galleggiante sulle onde e non ancorata al suolo. Essendo, perciò, Delo non ancora una vera isola, Leto poté darvi alla luce Apollo e la sua gemella Artemide, precisamente ai piedi del Monte Cinto. Secondo i miti, Artemide fu la prima dei gemelli a nascere, e aiutò la madre nel parto di Apollo. Questi nacque in una notte di plenilunio, che fu da allora il giorno del mese a lui consacrato: nel momento in cui nacque il dio, cigni sacri vennero a volare sopra l'isola, facendone sette volte il giro, poiché era il settimo giorno del mese. E appena nato, la testa del neonato fu poggiata su un cespuglio di violette, che trasferirono ai capelli del Dio quella sfumatura violetta, che gli sarà cara.

Il colore scuro dei capelli di Apollo era una rarità letteraria, poichè, per esempio, Omero descrive tutti gli dei con caratteristiche opposte: ci sono studi che descrivono come il rapporto tra divinità\eroi biondi e bruni sia 10 a 1, Afrodite è bionda, come pure Demetra. Atena è, per eccellenza, “l’occhicerulea Atena”. Il termine adoperato è glaukopis, che certo è in relazione anche con la civetta, sacra alla dea (glaux = civetta: occhi scintillanti, occhi di civetta), simbolo di saggezza. Oltre a ciò, altri leggendari eroi erano biondi: Menelao, Peleo, Achille e suo figlio Neottolemo, Meleagro, Radamanto, Clizio, Camerte. Si dice che persino Alessandro Magno fosse biondo.

Sappiamo con certezza dagli studi genetici sui resti nelle tombe che gli antichi greci e romani fossero molto più comunemente "di tipo mediterraneo", cioè pelle scura, occhi scuri, capelli scuri. Questa affermazione non vuol dire che non esistessero persone con i capelli biondi o gli occhi chiari, vuole dire che questi ultimi erano una minoranza genetica, almeno fino alla Roma Imperiale. Eppure l'essere biondi, essendo in minoranza, era considerato molto più affascinante. Pratica comune, tra le donne ricche, ma era pratica conturbante nei lupanari delle prostituite, era quella di colorare i capelli di biondo usando delle costosissime tinture allo zafferano o polveri colorate: le cronache del tempo ci dicono che richiedesse un grande sforzo per l'applicazione e avesse un odore ripugnante. Tra l'altro, la stessa parola biondo ha etimologia oscura: origine certa della parola è comunque l'antico francese blond (e il provenzale blon) da cui lo spagnolo blondo (poi sostituito nell'uso comune da rubio, dal latino rubeus, "rosso") e l'italiano biondo; i greci antichi per esempio usavano gli aggettivi xanthòs e xoutòs “biondo”, pyrrhòs “fulvo” e chrysoeidés “aureo”, riferiti ai capelli di uomini o Dei, aggettivi che corrispondono perfettamente al latino flavus, fulvus e auricomus; per descrivere le chiome lunghe e bionde usavano termini specifici come chrysokàrenos “testa bionda”, o chrysokóme “chioma d’oro”. E quest'eco rimane nella cultura occidentale, per esempio, nella ritrattistica medioevale e primo rinascimentale, dove è davvero difficile, se non in autoritratti, trovare una figura femminile simbolica che non sia bionda o dai capelli chiari.

Su questo fatto sono nate molte teorie: alcune sfiorano il razzismo, altre furono lo spunto per una certa storiografia mitteleuropea che vedeva già all'epoca greca antica caratteristiche dello spirito razionale dell'Europa centrale, dove si presume siano partiti per quelle terre i biondi (in pratica, una versione filo nazista della dicotomia nietzschiana apolinneo\dionisiaco), esistono inoltre decine di libri sull'origine "Indoeuropea" dei greci rispetto a quella levantina (che sarebbero i fenici, e le popolazioni del mediterraneo orientale).

Questa è L'Afrodite Cnidia: l'originale era opera di Prassitele, scolpita nel IV secolo a.C. Essendo perduta, rimangono alcune copie di età romana. È famosa non solo per la sua disarmante bellezza artistica, ma anche perché è il primo nudo femminile dell'arte greca e perché, secondo tutte le fonti, aveva i capelli biondi.

I poeti hanno amato e cantato per lo più donne pallide e dai capelli biondi; anzi fra tutti gli spietati imitatori del Petrarca, se non mai, certo difficilmente si ritrova chi abbia messo nello sbiadito lusso delle sestine, delle canzoni e dei sonetti a frasi bell'e fatte, una fanciulla che non avesse

… i capei d'oro alla Laura sparsi

Closed starter: Isolde Stuart and Valencia Holland (@frvgcleternty)

Where: Javier's bedside

Isolde could not count the hours since she'd arrived, but the doctors had left for the moment, which gave her some hope. As the time ticked on, she found a sort of routine in bandaging, applying a honey based ointment to ward off infection, and talking to Javier. Finally, she fell into a chair beside him, clutching his hand in hers and laying her head down on top of it. She did not sleep long-she rarely did these days-but she awoke to hear the door opening and stood upright, quick as a flash despite her aching limbs and chest, just in time for another to come into the room, Javier's fiancee.

Isolde was sure she looked a sight; she had not changed since she'd arrived and her dress was streaked with Javier's blood and tintures that she'd made to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. Her eyes shone bright aqua against her bloodshot scleras and her hair was wild fire pouring over her shoulders. And what could she say? That it wasn't what it looked like? It was exactly what it looked like, no point in denying the matter. Instead, Isolde curtsied unsteadily. "Princess Valencia...I am sorry there has been little change. The bleeding has stopped for now but we must be careful still. His arm is badly injured." She finished and went to pull over a chair. "Would you care to sit? I could make tea if you wish."

Ci sono tanti modi per interpretare il blu, colore fondamentale del guardaroba maschile. Giocando con i materiali o, come in questo caso con tinture e lavaggi. Il galles ingrandito di questa giacca, composto da più colori, ottanio , grigio, marrone, viene velato da una tintura in capo blu, che oltre a donare alla giacca un piacevole effetto “vintage” fonde i colori originali in una soffusa nuance. Non sono molte le aziende in grado di effettuare questo trattamento senza compromettere la vestibilità di una giacca sartoriale, ma noi prestiamo grande attenzione a questi dettagli ed abbiamo sempre la migliore 😉 . #garnmentdyed #tintocapo #jecketdyed #santaniello (presso George's Roma) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmGdR6Fqvta/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Un mondo dove i colori non sono solo pigmenti, ma storie di piante, sole e terra!

Mi sono tuffata in questa affascinante pratica e voglio scoprire tutti i segreti su come si creano le tinture naturali, come fissare i colori sui tessuti e, soprattutto, come la natura ci regala una tavolozza di colori straordinari.

Per il mio primo esperimento, ho deciso di tingere dei tessuti con il marrone estratto dai malli di noce.

Il noce, un albero maestoso che può raggiungere i 25 metri di altezza, è originario dell'Himalaya e la sua storia in Europa risale a epoche antichissime.

Non solo è stato utilizzato in medicina e nell'edilizia, ma ci offre anche un'affascinante sostanza tintoria che regala un ricco colore marrone.

E sapete qual è il bello? Il nome "noce" deriva dal latino "Iovis Glans", ovvero "ghianda di Giove".

Chi lo sapeva?

Se siete curiosi di vedere come si svolgono i miei esperimenti e di scoprire altri colori che la natura ha da offrire, seguitemi su Instagram!

La mia avventura nella tintura naturale è appena iniziata e non vedo l'ora di condividere con voi tutto ciò che imparerò!

La retinopatia, un insieme di malattie che colpiscono la retina, è stata associata all'uso di tinture per capelli contenenti ammine aromatiche, secondo uno studio guidato da Nicolas Chirpaz all'Ospedale Civile di Lione, pubblicato su JAMA Ophthalmology. Le ammine aromatiche sono sostanze chimiche utilizzate principalmente nella produzione di coloranti per tessuti, pelle e carta. Nei casi studiati, tre pazienti di mezza età hanno mostrato segni di retinopatia dopo l'esposizione a queste tinture. Uno dei casi riportati è quello di una donna di 61 anni, inizialmente in buona salute, che ha sperimentato visione sfocata bilaterale pochi giorni dopo aver tinto i capelli con una tintura commerciale che conteneva parafenilendiammina, un tipo di ammina aromatica. La sua acutezza visiva era di 20/40 nell'occhio destro e 20/20 nell'occhio sinistro. La diagnosi di retinopatia è stata effettuata sulla base della correlazione temporale tra l'esposizione alle tinture e l'insorgenza dei sintomi. Dopo la sospensione dell'uso della tintura, la condizione si è risolta nel giro di quattro mesi, e l'acuità visiva è tornata a 20/20. Negli anni successivi, la paziente ha utilizzato solo tinture prive di ammine aromatiche e non ha avuto ulteriori problemi visivi. Sebbene la retinopatia da ammine aromatiche sia considerata rara, la possibilità che lesioni del cuoio capelluto possano facilitare l’assorbimento di queste sostanze chimiche potrebbe spiegare in parte la sua rarità, anche se nei casi analizzati non sono state riscontrate lesioni cutanee. È possibile che la retinopatia sia sottodiagnosticata e che l'identificazione di questa patologia permetta di valutare l'opportunità di limitare l'esposizione a tinture per capelli potenzialmente dannose per la retina. In sintesi, l'associazione tra la retinopatia e l'uso di tinture per capelli contenenti ammine aromatiche solleva preoccupazioni sulla sicurezza di tali prodotti e sottolinea l'importanza di monitorare l'impatto di questi agenti chimici sulla salute oculare. La ricerca futura potrebbe essere utile per definire meglio i rischi e le misure preventive da adottare.
