Vintage beaded handbags - my collection

Hi friends,

At this time I wanna tell ya about my cute collection of "very-womanly cute things" - the most beautiful part of my collection of vintage handbags... I hope you'll love to see them. Here are 5 videos where you can see those cuties... Vintage handbags, that made by professional beadwork artists. The beauty of true fashion.... Created between 1910's and 1980's. Some of those handbags are from New York fashion weeks, others are from Chicago fashion week 1941, some are from: France, Italy, Bengal, Norway, British Empire and Germany. One of my faves, really unique handbag is from Hawaii. It has been made before Hawaii become 50Th state... Before joining the Union. That is a cool pieces of history... I enjoy it. I love the beauty... Real beauty, not poisoned by modernism, where is mostly everything is cheap-looking, simple and totally without fancy filigree... I adore fancy style, which is a real fashion! Take a look at these and you'll get what I mean... Modern style is too simple to be considered as artistic, as fashion... Watch videos, enjoy the beauty !

Ok, videos aren't in English but beauty doesn't depends from language. Beauty has no borders... I've posted this by request from my English-speaking friends, who saw vids on my channel on YouTube but had problems with translation...

Have a beautiful time, my dear friends and readers...

Luv ya all,
Sofia the Metal Queen

She was beautiful blue-eyes gypsy Queen from Europe.

Чёрная магия, секта сатанистов 666 и секрет династии

Рассказ о том, какое отношение древняя секта сатанистов имеет к моему творчеству в литературе и изобразительном искусстве. Более 700 лет назад, задолго до начала истории Америки, также и до династии российских сталелийных магнатов, в северной Европе началась история о тонне золота древних сатанистов. Лидер секты, мой идеал красоты, спрятал свои накопленные сокровища на территории 8 стран. За несколько минут до начала кошмарной ночи он попросил жену запомнить фразу, которая является ключевыми словами к шифру карты сокровищ. Через столетия осталось несколько потомков, кто имеет право прийти туда вместе с ним (в реинкарнации) и забрать эту шикарную тонну. Сотни кладоискателей погибали в поисках сокровищ 1000 чертей и одной ведьмы. Тонна золота норвежских сатанистов пока никем не найдена, хотя сотни желающих безрезультатно пытались заполучить халяву. Верить или нет в эту легенду / историю - это ваше дело...

Звезда показала путь.
Безвозвратно.
Дорога на Север.
Однажды ночь соберёт нас всех вместе.

(Ок, вышенаписанные 4 строчки это обрывки послания троих из этой легенды.)

Это лишь часть из тех таинственных историй, которые я слышала от пра-прабулечки Софии, цыганской королевы из Германии ;) Я современная бизнес-леди, и моё время рассчитано по минутам. Темы моего творчества в изобразительном искусстве и литературе имеют диапазон от научно-космической фантастики до древних культов, от современной моды и компьютерной графики до эзотерики.

Обращение к тому, кто знает тайну древней династии и является хозяином сокровищ, которые спрятаны в руинах на территории 8 стран и принадлежит нам обоим : 36 поколений разделяют нас, но мы должны встретиться на пути.

Ameynra bellydance, Ameynra fashion and Sofia Metal Queen pages – the difference

Hi my dear friends, fans, customers, subscribers & supporters ! Also good day to visitors who love me & Ameynra company.

This post is to answer questions about my company Ameynra and difference between my pages and company profiles:

AMEYNRA company has been founded in 2005 as family company / partnership of two founders – myself & Sarah. Our main company product lines were: bellydance costumes, gypsy costumes & arabian folk dance costumes. Then, when we came on international market, we accepted new designers.

Main points in Ameynra designs: sexy look, freshness, freedom, sassy & bright accents, attractive colors & fancy decorations including beadwork. I’m professional beadwork artist myself, so when I order handmade decorative stuff from Egypt, Middle East & France, I check out quality of each purchased item.

I’m a company owner, model, & main designer. But metal is my life, fashion & bellydance is my work! Only work, yes, only work, not lifestyle. So if you’re into metal world – you’re very very welcomed to my circle of friends, and to my life.


METAL fashion & black metal outfit design lines both are new points on Ameynra timeline. I love traditional black metal, but as I’m an atheist, so I don’t worship anyone there in the darkness.
For CUSTOM orders for METAL bands – contact me thru facebook or myspace, do not use DeviantArt site mailbox or Twitter mailbox – I don’t read that mail, and please do not use Ameynra-related pages mailboxes, those are for bellydance & women’s fashion, not metal.

At this time we don’t accept new models. Dear beauty girls, if in future we will need more models, we’ll let you know! “Like” me on facebook to follow updates. http://www.facebook.com/SofiaMetalQueen

If you have seamstress WORK request – contact SARAH of Ameynra, 2nd founder of our company. http://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahgoldbergameynra


We offer DISCOUNTS for WHOLESALE buyers, minimum 15 identical items, for example: 15 skirts or 15 costumes, not 10 skirt + 5 costumes. For custom orders, descount % size, shipping speed, etc – send questions to me (any address) or to Ameynra store. Doesn’t matter where item you would like is being listed, I’ll do my best to get it shipped to you, my dear customer. So if you see on ebay (on some of our accounts) item you wanna buy or order but lost or missed listing, feel free to contact me thru social network or another Ameynra store.

We DON’T accept requests on copy of any red-carpet dresses of so-called “celebs”. We WORK with film-makers, but we are not interested to make a copy of someone’s design for cheapier price than was paid to another designer!

I let Alex to decide & solve / reply all movie-related questions, ideas, prices. That is his job.

NO RENTALS – we don’t accept rental offers. Ameynra company does retail sales & wholesales. We don’t give for rent costumes or other products.

We don’t buy anything dance-related to re-sell in our stores. So do not bother us with ideas to sell something to us. We get dozens such offers daily.

ALEX is also moderator of my social network profiles. He doesn’t accept add requests from girls/women. Do not ask him about bellydance or folk costumes, that is out of his work. He is a programmer, photographer / videographer.

Why I look younger, and beautiful ;) It is simple, haha ;)

Sometimes people ask me why I look young & full of energy even when I have a lot of work at my 14 online stores. Yes I have 14 online stores. And I care of each of them. I mail each item purchased from my stores. Yes, sometimes I work from 10 a.m. ’till midnight. But I look young and, by my friends’ opinion, I’m beautiful longhaired girl. Photomodel. Dancer.

Many people says that in my 30 I look 10 years younger. Why?

That is because I never took any drugs or alcohol, & I don’t smoke. I’m healthy & happy. How nice, ha ! This is a way of metal queen that was born on Caucasus. My lovely hometown is there. You probably heard about wars for oil & territory there. In reality, that is more terrible than you saw in news. We, people born on Caucasus, are much stronger that others may expect. Some of us lived more than 120 years. I remember one person who lives 182 years, I saw him alive. We have a power given by Mother-Nature. We wanna live happy, and it is normal. Being healthy is normal. Our national culture doesn’t allows bad habits such as being alcoholic or drug-addicted. I’m not talking about federal laws. I’m talikng about the culture which is not allows to have bad addiction. I’m an American now, but Caucasus will always be my native place that I’ll love 4ever.

I heard that some drug-addicted people died from drugs overdose in age under 50, alcoholics died from alcohol in age under 50. My grandparents told me many times that every sinner will pay for his/her sins. I sure that it is true. If people destroy their health, only they have responsibility for that.
So I prefer to be healthy, without bad habits. As most of Caucasian people. I love this life. I enjoy it ;) A life is only one to waste it on any bad things, haha.

My Fashion and Ameynra Dance Fashion lines

Hi friends and people online !

I write this becauseof receiving many questions about what I’m doing in fashion.

1st of all, I’m fashion designer.

Metal is my life ! And Metal Queen is my username on social websites; I have an another nick-name – Ameynra, same as a name of my brand. I sure that being in metal is – 1st of all – LIVE BY IT, and everybody can sing well when they would like. Metal ladies/womens/girls – we can be a designers, journalists, promoters, and we are in metal. Metal women – we also can play music, do art, and just a few of those who are in metal, are band singers. And metal is a huge part of life ! And for me, making a metal clothing lines is only a part of my fashion projects.

As Lady Sofia Goldberg, I make accents on a bright appeal in my designs, using a color palette of bright, solid, neon colors that combined, mixed with traditional heavy metal black leather and glam of Russian Empire of 18th century. The Dynasty of Metal Kings began in 17th century….

Ameynra BellyDance fashion – my designs, only one of a few themes. A brand… It was founded and opened as Ameynra “BellyDance-only”, but I don’t want to stop on only “dance-4ever” theme. Long time ago we were in Poland with our “Theatre & Fashion” show, it was mostly my mom’s ideas, I was a young girl, teenager. My ideas were only a colors and its combinations.

In a fashion my major theme is can be described as “A rich young & beauty lady who likes travels & dreaming about the Future” Yes, I was born in a rich family, and I’m only one child. So, roots… golden roots… I’m from Caucasus & love Middle Eastern culture because it is native for me.
I love Las Vegas. Ferrari-styled bright-yellow dress is one from a huge collection of specific color dresses, created by new fashion designer Sofia Metal Queen !

I was in India, there are many, many beautiful fabric & embroidered materials. My best friend Miriam was in Brazil & Japan. I got many ideas from her stories, sketches. A most stunning, beautiful sequined & beaded fabrics i saw in Iran & Egypt. All I may say – one word “WOW !!!” What a pleasure to work with ! Many of the best fabrics were made in Iran. We hope that everything will be ok there. I have a few customers who prefer to buy dance costumes which made only using exported from there fabrics. They knows a quality ! And Middle Eastern themes are in some of my fashion projects. As well as European & U.S.-based styles, for sure.

Ameynra fashion as idea was based on world famous New York world’s fair 1939. I saw many original souvenirs made at that time, and media. My friends Bill & his wife have a huge collection, lol. Idea of fashion is based on that time, glory and sunrise. I love that symbolic, and style. And love NY. I hate simple-modern style 19970-80 yy, without that cute ideas which we call “fen’kis”, i love a rich life, fancy. close to 1890, 1930-40 yy.

MY “EVERYDAY-WEAR”, “STREET-WEAR” & “WEEKEND-TIME” IDEAS, EACH ONE IS TAKEN FROM THE COLLECTION OF 25-45 IN EACH LINE. I was in San Francisco, CA, many times & my “Street wear” collections are based on what I may call always remember “My Frisco”. I was in Italy & some of my “everyDay wear”, also dance costumes are in pro-Italian style. When i was in Detroit, MI, i was amazed how exotic, beautiful, wonderful haircuts, hairdecors African-American women makes. Beautiful ! Really, it was most impressive that I remember from visits to Detroit. My friend Lucie was in Tokyo & said that there women’s hairstyle is super-unique. I got a few of ‘most-stunning’ ideas from her video that she recorded in Tokyo. My great friend Miriam was in Brazil, she loves their culture, and we think about making together a pro-Brazilian style summer beach apparel line. I was in NY, there a special culture, elegant. I have a 4 fashion projects collections that made in NY-style.

METAL STYLE PROJECTS. I was in night clubs in NJ, and was in small town named Old Bridge, only one day i visited it. All i can say in this case – that is a very nice little town, i remember ice cream store there and road, and city streets for a while… Some of my exotic pro-metal fashion ideas based on my memories of that small town. 1st metal show i saw when I was only 10 years old. A festival in Moscow, end of September 1991. Metallica and other bands were there, but i remember Metallica much better than other. And i was thinking about – if i’ll be in age 20, 30 years – what i may wear for metal show ? And i since childhood love metal accents in everyday-wear apparel. I saw many shows, I love metal music & planning to do some designs in metal style as “Metal Style” series.

MY “SPACE & FUTURE” PROJECTS. I STARTED TO WORK USING MORE ACCENTS ON THESE WHEN I MOVED TO HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA. Almost half of my paintings are about space. why ? – because mystery is like magnetic target, and space travels theme is native to place where i live, Hollywood. So, if space travels, space fashion comes by itself !

So, something is gonna be.
Wish a me good luck !
Thanks !

Some sassy nasty people asked me about art freebies

Oh my, I heard a lot about crisis time. But, art is one of ways of making money to support my family & friends, they live outside of U.S. Simply think, if it is crisis time, in other countries much less opportunity to earn enough $$$ to live normally. Have you heard about situation on Caucasus ? If not, watch TV and make some research ! I care about my people. They need support, lol ! So, I sell artworks. I need a lot of money to support my people. I think you understand me.

Recently some sassy, nasty people emailed me that they make movie. They said that they are award-winners, and a lot of bla bla bla about about themselves, but said nothing about what budget they have for ordering my artwork. They said that like some of my art about outer space and space travels, and they wish to get my art for free. What a bad joke !!! I sell space-related art for price from $500 to $25,000 USD. I work hard to create good quality artwork. And, imagine sassy ones who asked me to donate art for making some ordinary movie, in which somebody will play role of author of my art !!!! How somebody can be author of my art ? I'm an author !!! It sounds very offending if somebody will try to say lie that he or she is an author of my art ! But, those idiots were sassy and nasty enough to offer me so-named "credit" in list of background info. Ha ha, someone trys to get my copyright by saying in movie terrible lies about authorship, and then offer me "credit". They said that it will be tremendous help to promote art because of long term of list in their foolish film about some silly flying telescope. Ha ha ha !!! I live in Hollywood, the capital of cinema. I know that Hollywood is overflooded by ordinary scripts & films now. Sci-fi fantasy books written by Russian writers are much more interesting than such simply story about ugly flying device, because their stories have a plots based on real life. Filmmaker have to have a huge talent to create good movie like "Terminator" or "Back to the future". And, if in role will be an artist in action, why not offer me that role ? I'm professional dancer, photomodel, and I live in Hollywood.

Also, offering just to be noted in list of credits is simply ridiculous !!! I have my own YouTube channel. What reason to give artwork $15,000 value, to unknown nasty people to get only small note in their ordinary movie ? Haha, I have about 1000 video views on my YouTube channel, everyday. How many people will watch ordinary movie which is not made in Hollywood ? I heard that sometimes just less than dozen people come to watch such premiere. So, why think that I'm fool enough to waste my $15,000 on nothing ??? I have no hate, but sassy heartless people who want to get for free something that costs $15,000 or more, are blocked from contacting me forever. No freebies. I need a lot of money to support my family. I care about good people that really need help at this crisis time.

4TH ANNIVERSARY OF MY MYSPACE PROFILE !!! Happy Birthday to MY MySpace !

Hi everybody,

today is 4th anniversary of my MySpace profile ! Ha, it is like its birthday !!!
I remember that day, Feb.17 2007 when I opened this account on MySpace. Well, I had eBay 2-year old account at that time, so internet sites weren't new for me. MySpace was my 1st social network. I love it so much !!!! I have Facebook, YouTube, sitemodel, Plaxo, RuTube, Blog on Blogger site, Blingee Animator profile and lots of other profiles at other sites. But, MySpace is the BEST !!!!

Many thanks to Tom, my 1st Myspace friend, a person that created that website ! What a lovely smile ;) Adorable. I remember how I opened my page, and knew nothing about how to use the site. And I see 1st friend, Tom. How nice ;) I told to my family - look at this ! I just opened my profile, and I have one friend ! Look, how nice smile ! Probably that is a very nice person. Mom said - "keep this first one, and never delete." Right idea, ha. Now I have over 400,000 friends. And will have more.

I love MySpace. Yeah, homepage was changed a few times since 2007. That is OK. Old layout, profile 01 was the best & most comfortable. Anyway, I use profile 03 because it lets to makes some changes in layout... ;)

Wish me good luck !
Thank you !!!

Super beautiful orchids in conpemporary art !!!

Hello world, I wanna show you my videos about orchids flowers in my artworks. Everybody who saw my art in a real life, said that it is really beautiful. Well, I have more than 400,000 friends & fans on social website, so all these people cannot be wrong ! Watch my videos and have a good day. I tell about art that comes from heart, a real art, artwork made with love, etc. If you can feel that, it be great ! For me, a young and talented artist/designer is must important to not copy anybody. Because copying of anyone is missing own personality.  Human soul is something special, alive, and we have mind. And art should be alive too, and it have to came out of frames, standards. I do modern art. 1st of all, I live in reality. So I don't care about past where I never was. I think about the future, and life. And I love those who loves me and my art.

Note - videos all are in Russian language, so if you don't understand - find a translator. Or help me to find a good promoter and publishing for my books, so other people will be able to see my art too ! Thanks ;)
