Greetings, beautiful people! Guess what! No, really. Guess. This is NIA SPEAKS’ 100th post! Yay!<\/p>\n

I still vaguely remember writing up my first post<\/a> on a Monday not very much like this one.<\/p>\n

Thanks for all of the support. To celebrate, I’m posting the fourth installment of “Beautiful People. Beautiful Things.”<\/p>\n

For those of you who aren’t familiar with this feature, these posts are simple. I’ll have photographs of beautiful people and beautiful things, obviously. They are mainly photos that inspire me, make me laugh…or think. They are pretty much photos that I like. l try my best to give credit where credit is due, but if I don’t, you’ll see that little disclaimer at the bottom.<\/p>\n

Here are the next ten! Feel free to click on the pictures to make them bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
