Olga Kontareva. Dressing ceremony Automatic translate

In order not to get bored, people come up with a variety of ceremonies: tea, the opening of the exhibition, the ceremony of marriage and even divorce. Wanting to make some event of our life solemn and memorable, we determine the rules: how many minutes to warm up a tea cup, how to redeem a bride, what color every third rose in a bouquet should be.

One of the ceremonies for which in modern life there is practically no strength left is the dressing ceremony. No, of course, we all spend a lot of time getting ready for work or visiting, but this process is always chaotic and quite troublesome. But this can be a surprisingly beautiful action, real art.
