De Dean Gallery in Edinburgh

De Dean Gallery is een museum in Edinburgh, Schotland en maakt deel uit van de National Galleries of Scotland.

Het museum werd geopend in 1999 en ligt tegenover de Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, waarmee het nauwe banden heeft. Het gebouw diende oorspronkelijk als weeshuis, in 1830 gebouwd door architect Thomas Hamilton. De ombouw tot museum stond onder leiding van architect Terry Farrell.

Aanleiding voor de ombouw tot museum was de schenking door de kunstenaar Eduardo Paolozzi in 1994 van veel van zijn werk (sculptures, grafiek en tekeningen), welke schenking oorspronkelijk was bestemd voor de Gallery of Modern Art.

De collectie van het museum omvat voorts een grote verzameling Surrealistische en Dada kunstwerken en literatuur, waarvan veel is geschonken door Gabrielle Keiller en Roland Penrose, inclusief werken van Salvador Dalí, Paul Delvaux, Max Ernst, René Magritte en Pablo Picasso.

Het museum organiseert geregeld wisselexposities en toont een selectie van het werk online.

    There can only be 1 sexy lingerie story today and that is to say goodbye to the original queen of the sexy lingerie departments, Grace Brothers Mrs Slocombe – aka Mollie Sugden who passed away at the age of 86. The hit TV comedy of the 70′s was full of classic 70′s non-pc jokes, situations, characters and comedy – who will ever forget Mrs Slocombe pussy ? The British sitcom was broadcast from 1972 to 1985. It was set in the men’s and women’s departments of Grace Brothers, a large, fictional London department store.

    It was written mainly by Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft, with contributions by Michael Knowles and John Chapman. The idea for the show came from Lloyd’s brief period working at Simpsons of Piccadilly in the early 1950s, a clothing store which traded for over 60 years until 1999.

    It never ceases to amaze me just how funny this comedy was, and totally without the need to shock, swear or offend. True comedy, great writers and fantastic actors.
    Sexy Lingerie
    Millions of dollars, miles of paper pages and years of fevered thought have gone into finding the right underwear to make women look and feel sexy. Plenty of people argue that this is all futile, as the one thing that makes a woman sexy is that woman’s character – but this will not stop women, or men, looking for the perfect items of sexy lingerie that turn an attractive woman into a sexy lady. The money that goes into achieving this is just a part of an industry that has been around for a while now, and is thriving arguably more than any other within the fashion business at the present time. Getting it right takes time, money, a lot of trial and error, and a bit of realisation.
    The sexiest lingerie is the lingerie that enhances a woman’s best assets. And, as each woman has her own personal best side it is really not worthwhile trying to second-guess what piece of lingerie will be the “silver bullet” that renders mankind absolutely mute and transfixed with desire. That piece of lingerie could be anything. It may be for the best to take a truly realistic look at your body and think about it in that spirit. Not cynical, not critical, nor skeptical, but realistic. Every woman has her best feature, and all of these can be enhanced by the right nightwear or sexy lingerie. Realize, also, that although a man may be entirely convinced that he is drawn by a woman’s breasts or legs, he can just as often be transferring his desire for the whole package to one specific part that he feels he should be looking at.
    If you have a full length mirror, stand in front of it for a while. Before you become dubious about the process, you don’t have to do this naked, or even in your underwear if it makes you feel self-critical. Just stand there and look at yourself. As far as possible, try to be positive about what you see, even if your nature is towards pessimism. This is for the greater good, after all. Whatever you consider to be your best feature probably is. You may be lucky enough to be blessed in a range of areas, and then the sexy lingerie question becomes “how do I flatter these areas?”. Naturally, if your favorite feature is your breasts, these can be best flattered with a good bra. If they look good but aren’t that large, for example, a triangular or air bra can give you more of a cleavage.
    If you have larger breasts it is only natural that you will want to give them attention. Providing yourself with the support and the presence that a balconette bra can give is one way to achieve this.
    Equally if you feel your legs deserve some love, look for a set of tights or stockings that accentuate just what makes them so good. And if it is your bottom that you are most pleased with, a set of cheeky knickers or hot pants can have the desired effect.

    As a member from the fashion business, I salute you. I was born and raised in Los Angeles California and have been working within the market for the majority of my life. One of my existing projects is a discussion board for that fashion marketplace. I’ve gained a couple great ideas for my internet site from reading this.
