hydrate (v.)

1812 (implied in hydrated), “to form a hydrate, combine chemically with water,” from hydrate (n.), perhaps modeled on French hydrater. From 1947 as “to restore moisture;” from Greek hydr-, stem of hydor “water” (from suffixed form of PIE root *wed- (1) “water; wet”) + -ate (2). Related: Hydrating.

Next to sound judgment, diamonds and pearls are the rarest things in the world. Jean de la Bruyere

Naked woman, black woman. Clothed with your colour which is life, with your form which is beauty. In your shadow I have grown up; the gentleness of your hands was laid over my eyes. And now, high up on the sun-baked pass, at the heart of summer, at the heart of noon, I come upon you, my Promised Land, And your beauty strikes me to the heart like the flash of an eagle.

If Lady Gaga is like an orange Bugatti Veyron, then I am like a black 1970 Chevelle. Caity Lotz

Can this world be a masquerade
Are you really what we see on the outside
And hidin’ what what you really are on the inside

Did a workshop with Michael Louis Photography Studio a month or two ago. Two exceptionally talented were featured. Petite Ukrainian Model aka Masha Poses and Nikki Marie.
This particular set, the idea was for the attendees to shoot the models while they shot each other, in this case Nikki shooting Masha. The twist, they were taking actual pictures.
I had them use one of my old Canon Bodies and pumped the ISO up as far as it could go! Something different…something that turned out pretty damn good. Nikki killing it behind the lens,
Masha giving Nikki all kinds of emotion while simultaneously they are both giving their all for the Photographers shooting them !

I was fascinated by stripes from the start. On clothing, they follow a woman’s movements.
