GIRL’S ALBUM IN HANDWRITING

In a last-century school survey, popular among the generation of 90-s as well as in social networks which generation of 2000-s can’t currently do without, there might occasionally be spotted a tradition of girl’s album scripted in handwriting.
Albums of female gymnasium and boarding school students are often started with mother’s advice; on every page to view were the glimmers of a very personal girl’s lyrics; wishes would get expressed by the host’s girlfriends with addressing not otherwise as ‘deer dove’; ‘angel’ ‘sweet cheeks’.
