House of Worth | c. 1898-1900 This is probably Charles Frederick Worth’s most iconic design. It shows the influence of the Art Nouveau movement at the turn of the century. The velvet scroll design is very similar to the wrought iron designs found on Parisian architecture of the era.

Since I've memory I've always named myself on the Internet as Karmina Burana; it came from Carl Orff's cantata Carmina Burana. I just don't know why i write with a K instead of a C... well... Actually, it's not my favorite cantata, but the prelude... oh, my, that introduction is sublime, I LOVE IT, ADORE IT. When I listent to it it's just like a drug, it's a melody to die for. This prelude has two parts in latin: O Fortuna (the most known from all the cantata) and Fortune plango vulnera (I bemoan the wounds of fortune)... this last is my very favorite. About the pic, well, that's usually me on a Sunday morning... like wanting to fade.
