[Clair Obscur]

An Unknown Kunoichi

I've been wondering... what does 'Clair Obscur' mean? Obscure Claire? o.O

Litterally speaking, "clair" means "light / bright" and "obscur" means "dark". So a litteral translation would be "bright dark" (in French the adjectives usually come after the noun, but sometimes --- like in this example --- they come before).
"Clair obscur" is a photography technique consisting in creating sharp contrasts between light and dark areas. In English we use the term "low key", or the Italian translation "chiaroscuro". You can use that term to describe a painting too.

Miss Jenjen, I've got two requests please :]
1 - could you update the banner to my thread as I made a new one :

2 - would you model for me ? xD
I mean, could I save your avi and use it for a sample banner, the style and colours of it would look good on a banner I made. I just wanted to ask first if it would bother you. I'd show you when it's done, of course.

I've been making a lot of banners recently, and I was thinking of opening a mini-shop to sell premade graphics (banners and thread layouts) --- but it might take a while as it takes a long time to set up.

It's funny how that girl rung you about a job at McDonalds. Do you sometimes teach young students about fashion/jewlery making etc so they can make a good start in the industry? wink

Ouiiiiiiiiiiii I've been playing Booty Grab lately and getting so rich. I was in the Aquarium forum for like four hours yesterday or something. This one aquarium gave me nearly 1700 gold. eek

It's Saturday here now. Last night I went to the movies, as you know, to see "New Moon" and it was so amazing. I might write a review on Sunday night for you. cool heart heart heart heart

Yes, I used to take students as trainees, but not now that I closed my shop and all. It's nice, and I like sharing my experience and giving advice to youngsters, there are so many things you don't learn when you're in school, and the fashion and show business is quite special.

You've been playing BG for hours ?! Well you've got to be rich now xd
It's so easy now to fing glowing tanks as lots of people have their own "glowing thread". Thanks to that (and the people who bump them) you don't have to browse pages and pages to find a tank to play on. My own best score is a bit more than 3000... I did it not long ago. I usually screenshot all the best scores I make (I've got several over 2500), unfortunately for this one (my best ever !!) I messed up the screenie (stupidly I copied something before I opened Paint, so it erased what I had saved before...), I was so gutted !

Where is the "New Moon" review ? xD
I heard on the radio that it's already been seen by more than 2 millions people in France.
How was the dinner at the luxury cinema ? mrgreen

OMG it's so sunny today, I'm gonna go to Auckland Domain.
Look how sunny it is out my window. oh yeah pay no attention to the dirty window. When my mum came to Auckland to clean up my room for me, she didn't clean the outside of the windows. Thats not our job. whee

What ? You get your Mum to come all the way to Auckland and clean your room ? You can't do it yourself ? xd
What ? When you clean the windows you only clean the inside of them ? :-

Well, I'm talking but my own windows are terribly dirty xD
But it'd be stupid to spend hours cleaning them all when it's raining so much... (yes, it takes hours because my windows are made of small square panes... I love that style as I think it's very pretty, but when it comes to cleaning it's a real pain in the arse)

Enjoy the bue sky and sun, you have no idea how lucky you are !

Hahaha I haven't done the review. I'm way too lazy. xp

But OMG the dinner in the cinema was sooooooooooooooooooo delicious. Skycity Cinemas made this special menu just for the New Moon screening. I can't even find the menu right now but it was a three course meal with garlic bread (to scare away all the vampires or something whee ), a delicious meat pizza (or vege burger if you liked) finished with a chocolate platter or an apple pie with cream and icecream. **droooooooooool**

Well yeah my mum was coming to Auckland anyway to go shopping with some of her friends or something so she told me she would come and clean my room for me. I have to move out in under 3 weeks so it needs to be super clean. She'll come clean it again before I move out. I don't need to clean the outside of the windows though because the property manager employs people to do that as well as mow the lawns, waterblast the walls etc.. No, I can't do it myself because I don't like cleaning. xd

Wow I love all those small pane type windows. What kind of style house do you have? Does it look very... er, Bordeaux-ish? I love seeing types of houses.

Edit: oh and I have been waitin for the blue skies and sun for so long that I will surely take advantage of it all!

Matt:- Aww thankies heart

Your mum went to Auckland to clean your room? LOL. Awesome mum. xD
