Lake Retba ~ The Pink Lake


Hello Fashionista's ....
Pink is my desired colors for Spring Summer 2013 Collection

Does this not capture attention ? 
A Pink Lake ~ Lake Retba located 30 km from Dakar.

Why Pink?  
Feldspar deposits reflect sunlight through salty waters and create the beautiful vibrant pink color.

The lake is known for high salt content, and Fashionista's its impossible to sink !!
Float while reading a fashionista magazine!!

The Pink Lake has a salt collecting industry. Salt miners live here, they come from neighboring African countries.

 What I found kinda fascinating is: the salty water of such a concentration can corrode the skin within thirty minutes... the local salt minors rubb with oil from the fruit of a tallow tree.

Without question ...I want to travel to  this lake in the  very near future.
xxoo xxoo
