BLACK & WHITE Sunday: And a little bit bit pink

*

I can't show you this man's face

*

No ... He is not a dentist…

*

He is another of Gianlorenzo Bernini’s blatant ‘tongue in cheek’ digs at his rival Francesco Borromini. When I posted the 2nd guy below [here], the lovely and knowledgeable Simone from The Bottom of the Ironing Basket pointed out that Bernini had made yet another dig at Borromini by placing a statue with his back turned to Borromini’s facade! [if you are getting confused with the Bernini’s and Borromini’s try writing this post!]. Anyway… Simone’s comment encouraged me to go on a search.. and digging through my photos.. alas.. I found the second guy!! Sure enough he has his back turned to the facade AND has his head draped to protect himself from this vision!! How funny.. those whacky feuding sculptors!!

Unfortunately once I chopped the heads and arms of my fellow tourists out of the picture, this was all that was left. Also below is the original photo I posted of ‘Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi’ .. but this time in Black & White. So although nothing new in way of photos... stick around as there are some awards at the end.

You might be wondering what the ‘Little Bit Pink’ is. Well the talented Tamerie from A Little of This That and the Other presented me with this ‘I think you’re an awesome girl’ award. What a sweetheart! Tamerie is a talented and resourceful girl who whips up something new to delight us each week. Pay her a visit and say hello from me!! If you pop over now, you'll see some eye candy for sure!! he he

Well as a little Thank You to Anne Marie for hosting Black & White Sunday each week, and also all the talented and charming girls who participate and support each other each week, I’d like to pass this award on to each of them. Plus an award to Jacqueline from HOME as avid B&W supporter. Jacqueline generously participates each week by way of her supportive and flattering comments [best cheer squad in blogland]. So here they are in no particular order;

I also would like to thank the effervescent Jacqueline of HOME for giving me this very special award below. What a wonderful friend and blogger Jacqueline is. She created some personalized awards for a few of her blogging buddies, uniquely tailored to reflect their own interests and I was lucky enough to be a recipient. Very special indeed. Here is my ‘personal’ award [in black & white]. What a special friend she is!! There is no-one like her!

YES there is even more Pink to come in the form of a giveaway this week. I thought it was time I gave back a little for all the giveaways I have won, so what better than something ‘Pink’ as October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Pop over and check out the great work being done by;

The McGrath Foundation

And while you’re popping around the net… pop over and see the 30% OFF Louenhide Handbag Sale at ‘The Armchair Trader’ [one of our very own blogging gals]. There just might be a pink Louenhide Handbag in my giveaway soon. If pink is not your thing, A-M has other delightful Louenhide choices. But hurry girls.. they are selling out fast!
