We know who YOU are.

A Google Image Search

There ARE yet other
Cloudias!

Meet Cloudia Swan - Film Star
Cloudia Computing!
Yes, there are a surprising number
of Cloudias
in the world today.
Strangely,
many of them did seem to speak
directly to me:
Ah! what fun to be a simple
Cloudia. . .
Only fair, I suppose,
to close with a picture of myself
creating
Comfort Spiral
JUST for YOU-
No wait;
Here I am -
Thank YOU
for making all of this nonsense
worthwhile!
Fondly, 'me'
Catullus lived from around 84 to 54 AD.
He wrote a number of love poems to Clodia, giving her the pseudonym, Lesbia. Below is my paraphrase of a very famous one, (a very loose translation, mostly because the original doesn't mention water).
V - Vivamus, mea Lesbia
Come let us live and let us love
Beside the ev'ning shore.
And all the grumblings of old sots
We'll patiently ignore.
The sun has set, and soon returns
- Our lives should be so long.
Vivamus, mea Lesbia, atque amemus,
rumoresque senum severiorum
omnes unius aestimemus assis!
soles occidere et redire possunt:
nobis cum semel occidit brevis lux,
nox est perpetua una dormienda.

Pretty compilation Claudia, nice photos.
I hope you had a nice and happy Christmas, I think 2012 will be a very good year. Thank you very much for sharing the beauty of your photos.
I'm glad we have the REAL Cloudia! A quick Google search for my name yielded a bunch of head shots of mostly blonde women with Jamie Lynn Spears being the predominant shot. :)
Damn I Google me and all I get is me(BORING). I think that while someone has trademarked your name I would apply for the .xxx domain just in case.
Well I know who you are! You're my special blog friend Cloudia. x
Fun!
Wow so many Cloudias. Love Cloudia Swan. Now I am going to google my image to see who I am :)
Cloudia is such a beautiful name and i'm glad to have you as my blogger friend. Best wishes for 2012.
Hi Cloudia, the real one: thanks for being a fun blogging mate; I am looking forward to a happy continuation during 2012.
Reminds me of a very embarrassed moment when Bananaz was a little kid who said this "Who IS you?" hahaha.
Nice knowing lots of Cloudia lolz. You are what you think. Aloha.
So many Cloudia's some scary like 'Female Cloud', that's a big knife she's weilding, and Cloudia Swan who is gorgeous, but I'm sure it's unanimous, there's only ONE Cloudia as far as we're concerned!!
Olá, gostei da compilação...Espectacular....
Votos de continuação de Boas Festas....
Cumprimentos
So fun, darling!
Love all these Cloudias, especially you!
xoxox,
CC
haha cute! but why not close with a pic of the real you? you sre cute, too!
Oh this was great fun getting to know so many could be sides of you, Cloudia! The poem written for Clodia so many moons ago, is inspiring right now! I like the elephant Cloudia too, and there were a few other cool ones (I really enjoy YouTube!) Thanks again, for just a bright and happy tour through the land of Cloudia!
Hilarious! I got some chuckles here.
Greetings from Orlando!
This was scary...too many folks impersonating with altered versions. I like the real Cloudia, too. DrumMajor
Only you would think of doing this! Fun!
Who knew there were so many! Or maybe just one?
Ah yes, lots and lots of Cloudia's but I often visit the best Cloudia in the whole wide world,YOU!!! Very cute post! Happy New Year My Friend :)
I've never seen so many Cloudias LOL . . . . but none of them are as nice as you ~ Eddie x
Ooops wrong email address - now you recognise me LOL
I like Comfort Spiral's Cloudia best, though the cloud-covered elephant is pretty darn cute! :)
AWESOME SIS!!! I was Googling myself but my wife walked in so I didn't get to finish! I love the Downward facing Dog- Cloudia myself.
YOU are the original....all others--mere knockoffs!!!!
HFTEC,
J
Well, well - and I had never heard the name until I landed on your blog Cloudia - now I find that there are lots of you.
I am sure that none of the other Cloudias are a patch on you. I always smile here - and smiles are to be cherished.
You're the original Cloudia and the others are just pretenders :-).
This was lots of fun, thanks! Have a Happy 2012.
I would like to see the real you. Can you publish your own picture tomorrow.
Greetings,
Filip
But who is the real CLOUDIA ?
lovely compilation.
Wish you Cloudia, and all your followers the best for 2012.
Greetings from Holland, Joop
Very amusing post, Cloudia!
You are the best Cloudia.
Emjoy your time.
There are many Cloudias thats crazy
there are a whole lot of Cloudias!!
love the elephant
Gosh your comments REALLY made this a LOT of fun!!
What the #@+&^^*$% will I do tomorrow?!
Thanks so very much - I really appreciate you folks ! EACH of you.
I love your imagination. You are up in the clouds these days in your new home, aren't you!
And here I thought your name was very rare, different and original, but always beautiful. Now I find it's all those but not so rare. You really found some fun Cloudias.
I'm afraid I won't bother looking for my name because it's too common. When I was growing up, I thought it was rare. I soon found out I had a lot of friends named Kay.
This is AWESOME Cloudia! Who knew...there was so MANY Cloudia's!! Perhaps I should google my name????? You are a riot!!! Hope you had a great holiday!
xox

LOL
thanks SO much each of YOU
for making this party!
You are so funny! What a fun thing to do.
I know what you can do tomorrow! Pick YOUR favorite of the alternate yous and explain how they have influenced you, or society. *UGH* That sounds like such a college assignment. :(
Wonderful post!
LOL
Thank you!
