[Она идет по жизни смеясь

Она легка, как ветер нигде на свете

Она лицом не ударит в грязь

Испытанный способ решать вопросы

Как будто их нет

Во всем видеть солнечный свет

И без исключенья все с восхищеньем

Смотрят ей вслед

И не замечают, как плачет ночами

Та, что идет по жизни смеясь]

by Mashina Vremeni

She dances to her own music,

Reading from a book of dreams

Her soul is writing about her.

She doesn’t need the World’s approvals,

She’s got her poetry within.

“Talk dir-TEA to me”

“My BALLS are delicious”

I will remember the kisses

Our lips raw with love.

You gave me everything you had

And took what once was only mine

When you feel blue and your soul is sad,

Remember me and all the  fun we had,

Joy of our love will stay forever,

Deep in our hearts,

Forget me never!

[I'm trying to hold my breath

Let it stay this way

Can't let this moment end

You set off a dream in me

Getting louder now

Can you hear it echoing?

Take my hand

Will you share this with me?]

[Every human being is a puzzle of need. You must become the missing piece and they will tell you anything] - Red Sparrow

This stylish classic is inspired by the hottest  Netflix TV show that I’ve been binge watching. The Queen's Gambit follows the life of an orphan chess prodigy, Beth Harmon, during her quest to become the world's greatest chess player while struggling with emotional problems and drug and alcohol dependency. I must say I am totally addicted! Anyone else? ...

If you haven’t seen the show you are definitely missing out! Download the first episode and you’ll be hooked...but first make yourself a Gibson. This elegant cocktail appears in the movie quite regularly and is basically a sophisticated cousin of a Martini garnished with pickled onions instead of olives. The onion offers a unique umami flavor profile. I added my own twist to it by infusing my dry vermouth with bay leaf that creates a marvelous interplay with gin’s earthy juniper notes. Touch of blue since that’s how I feel that the show is over 😢
