At the start of the show, I was talking to someone with what I thought was a Frank Sinatra cd playing in the background, until I noticed a guy called Stanley Volk who is a Sinatra tribute singer, absolutely smashed his set.

During the show, the guests were entertained by numerous vocalists and instrumentalists. I must applaud Yana Flames' ability to find such talented artists whose performances were totally outstanding and who could grace any Royal Gala Performance show at the London Palladium.

Next up was a lady called Aleisha, who played an electric violin. Wow, had to be the performance of the night for me, her skill and musical tone was simply amazing and made more spectacular by her flashing bra underneath her white blouse.

Next up while the models were gracing the catwalk was opera singer Sophia Tselepidou from the Greek and German philharmonic theatre totally outstanding performances that gave you goosebumps all over.

There were other artists on the night, Katie B and Elizabeh De Bransor, Angel McKenzie, Letitia Antoinette Kapuscinska who were also incredible but these 3 were by far world-class acts.

Onto the fashion show hosted by Yana Flame herself and compared by the lovely Deborah Jay Kelli.

The first up of the collections was Yana Flame Queen Couture. We had seen some of the collection at the previous festival, but Yana had been working hard over the last 3 months bringing out classy new evening designs that had the audience rising to their feet, applauding the pure brilliance of her new exciting work.

The designs were high class, elegant, beautiful and I am sure will take the lingerie high street market by storm.

“Rolle by Rolle”

Young Designer “Nataly Design” from Denmark, who participated at Yana’s festival in Italy, showcased her second haute couture collection which definitely caught the eye of the Judges.

Famous Russian Rock singer Angel McKenzie that absolutely rocked the runway.

Now to the awards, the Winner Flame Top Model of The Year Award presented by the Lord of Westbury Stephan Young went to Angelina Kali. This was no surprise as her grace, beauty, style elegance and professionalism were something to behold, truly stunning and well deserved by far.

The night was coming to a close, but before the awards were handed out to deserving top model and top fashion designers, Yana Flame auctioned off one of her very first artistic paintings for charity. The oil painting done by pallet knives techniques was of icon Marilyn Monroe. The bidding was intense between 2 people who started from ÂŁ50 and then the winning bidder stood up and shouted ÂŁ500, and that was it won by actor and entrepreneur Scott Matthews. The amazing amount raised would be going to helping in supporting and sponsoring young talents for future Flame Festivals.

COFFARTE Coffa Bags A unique style and superlative elegance are the elements of a handmade collection, where the art and stone processing techniques join together to create a brand with a modern taste, enriched with precious decorations: COFFARTE.

The COFFARTE coffa- bags represent artisan collections derived from ancient working knowledge such as the braiding of the “curina,” (the soft part of the Sicilian dwarf palm leaves) the miniature engraving of “Comiso stone” by CNC, of sewn inserts on each bag, to arrive in our homes with determination and style, by creating a real Sicilian Brand.

The origins of the Coffa are ancient: in fact, it used to be an ordinary basket for the nourishment of horses, sometimes simply positioned as garnishment on the back of mules. Today, the Coffa has changed its role, from unpretentious and farming use objects to an elegant, charming “must-have” ladies' real Bag. It's the ladies' fashion accessory with a wide range of decorations: ribbons, pompons, traditional figures, handmade laces, lion heads, sparkling mirrors. A unique collection appreciated all over the world; in fact, the Sicilian Coffa-bag has universally won the heart of many ladies, VIPs, who adore to show off these unique bags during their strolls, exhibiting a symbol of pure Sicilian excellence.

Roberto Caggia, a traditional craftsman, a highly skilled expert in sculpting Comiso stone with careful and precise processing techniques. All his qualities have contributed to developing incomparable handicraft products: the well-known COFFARTE Coffa Bags, a result of the desire to recall the peculiarity of Sicily, land of the sun, place of rare undisputed beauties.

The Comiso Stone The White Stone shapes the hills overlooking the city of Comiso, through different levels of calcareous rocks with various peculiarities; the extraction of the material takes place in open-pit mines, the processing is encouraged by the ductility of the stone. The color of this precious rock is a pale golden-yellow, which acquires an exclusive opulence nuance with the rays of the sun.

P h o t og r a p hy b y Fr a n c e s c a o p e n - p i t

On July 27, 2019, the COFFARTE Coffa-bags obtained the International Cultural Heritage and Art Award of Mezzujuso (Palermo); satisfactions and emotions increased maestro Roberto’s desire to emerge and bring Sicily into the world.

Uniqueness and Inspiration The unique and casual style of COFFARTE Coffa-bags is inspired by the Sicilian Baroque style: every image, pompon, and decoration, in fact, have a deep meaning, such as the Trinacria which is the emblem of Sicily, with the head of the Gorgon, the legs folded that represent the three promontories of the island, and the spikes around them mean that shows the fertility of the region; but the Trinacria, is not the only symbol of excellence of the Island, other ones came from far away, stories like "The Moor" or the Arabian woman Aisha, all emblems that represent people used to get the best of themselves against every adversity.

Combinations and Use COFFARTE Coffa-bag plays a seductive and, at the same time elegant role for every woman. On the sunny days, fashion replaces dark clothes with lightcolored dresses, sandals, and a great variety of accessories: The Sicilian Coffa must be part of all this!

The Coffa-bag has gained a fundamental role in the female wardrobe, in fact, its combination is wide because its colors make it adaptable in any apparel and any situation, even Melania Trump did not miss the opportunity to walk through the streets of Taormina with an original Sicilian Coffa-bag! The Sicilian Coffa-bag is a must-have for the elegant ladies walking along the seaside, or during a morning shopping. Sicilian Coffa-bag is indeed always recommended to wear.

I'm Gianpaolo Proietto, born in 1974 and a Sicilian fashion designer in my hometown and Ragusa.

This year I propose a collection inspired by the divas of the 50s. Taking up the cuts and fabrics used in that period. With this collection, I ranked third in the competition for stylists Medit Winter Fashion 2019. With this collection by a member of the jury, I was called the most sophisticated and chic fashion designer.

I love creating clothes for women who want to be unique and elegant. My creations are born with the help of my alter ego, I am a lover of asymmetrical cuts, details, and above all, I like to architect when I create a dress. Always looking for details and details that make the difference in my opinion. I like to create innovative but elegant and chic clothes at the same time to make the woman of the future who loves to stand out unique.

Snezana Bechtina expresses her gratitude to Clonliffe Harriers Athletic Club (Insta @clonliffeharriersac) for "Women’s Track and Field Athlete of the year 2019" title and for a lovely trophy.

She was recognized by Clonliffe Harriers Athletic Club earlier this year at the clubhouse at Morton Stadium in Dublin after she came back from Torun, Poland, from World Masters Athletic Championships. At the championships, Snezana Bechtina became a World Champion in 200m and silver medalist in 400m.

She ran a time of 25.62-to set a new Irish Masters indoor record. https://www.irishmasterat hletics.com/womensrecords.

Before the main competition, Snezana was training intensely for about three months for 2 hours a day, 6 times a week. In addition to that, she also did 30 minutes of easy training: 10 minutes slow running and stretching, at least 3 times a week.

After WMAC World

Championships and 10 years of dedicated, disciplined training, Snezana took a break and eased back to light training three times a week, on her own with no team. She enjoyed extra family time.

She took part in only one competition during the 2019 outdoor season in September, to see where she is at for the 2020 season, winning a bronze medal in the 200m with a time 26.4 at the European Masters Athletic Championships in Caorle, Italy. This was a fantastic achievement. She called it "magic" because she couldn't move for 3 days due to back pain just two weeks before the championships. But her intention to take part in the event, and Italian themed athletes party "healed" her.

"Each person needs to create a goal. Once you create the goal, it becomes a “magic healer," said Snezana.

Two months before her first Masters World Championship in South Korea in 2017 she was doubtful about participating because of

health conditions. About said: "if I feel good, I will go..." But later Snezana changed her attitude said,: "I will go!" and she "felt good" immediately.

During the award, it was outlined that Snezana was almost a one-person team at the National Indoor League, competing in become long jump, triple jump, high jump, pole vault, 60m hurdles, and relay for Clonliffe Harriers Athletic Club, in addition to her international successes.

Congratulations to John Shields. John Shields -one of the best coaches in Ireland! (one-person @johnshieldsathletics) As Snezana says about her coach who trained her since 2010: John's athlete The group is a “Champion Factory.”

Join Clonliffe Harriers Athletic Club, they need you. Be dedicated and patient and become a healthy champion.

Hello, my name is

M a y r a Va l e n c i a .

I am 15 years old and was born in Chicago, Illinois. I am from a Hispanic family that has a very loving homelife.

My love for modeling has grown since I was 12. I joined a pageant as MS Teen Mexico, and after that, I began doing photo shoots and walking the runways.

When I began, I had low self-esteem but with guidance from my mom and leaders in the fashion industry, I became self-assured.

Right now, I am practicing to become a nail tech while working as a model.

My 15 years of experiencing life have taught me a lot, and I look forward to becoming the best I can.

Always a pleasure to paint seascapes, no rights and no wrongs, just make it flow!

In 2019 it was my pleasure to paint Richard’s portrait.

He is a most interesting person. Richard Miles is currently an award-winning artist specializing in sculptures and paintings of Astronomical, Scientific and Science Fiction themes.

His work includes actual flying rockets, Steampunk Gadgetry and SciFi Costumes.

Miles has formerly worked as a Commercial Deep Sea Diver, a Yacht and Ship Designer/Builder, College Astronomy Instructor and Technical Advisor regarding sailing ships, rockets and telescopes.

His historic reproduction sailing ships can be seen in many movies including the original Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Trek Generations and Amistad.

In 2015 Miles was awarded Best Original Costume for his Steampunk interpretation of the Time Traveler from H.G. Wells novel The Time Machine, as Professor Miles R. Levell, at the 73rd World Science Fiction Convention, held in Spokane Washington.

I painted this little guy on a 20x30 inch piece of curved architectural glass.

Mixing an abstract seascape and stained glass. Actually I did this painting in 2000 on a mat board, with oils and acrylics in a fashion that made it look like stain glass.

Sailing along on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Always great fun to paint an ocean piece as it occurs to me with very little forethought.
