David Gandy

I know is kind of corny to feature a male model as one of my favorite things, but I just could not help it. David Gandy is as chiseled and dreamlike as no one I have seen in the fashion scene lately. An Essex born in 1980, David James Gandy has conquered the world of fashion by storm, and has make some of us dream even more. His profile with quite a Greek statuesque nose or his deep ocean blue eyes are some of the features that catch our attention, but if to that you sum up an intelligence that is undisputed with his beauty and an enviromental commitment, perfection is born. If you want to follow this nature caring hunk, do so on his blog or on any wall where his picture has been blown up for our delight.

Witches

Ever since I was a little child, I was obsessed with the unconventionally noir characters of the fairy tales that my parents read me while in bedtime. The witches and their craft haunted me till nowadays, wanting to know more and more about this evil individuals with eccentric fashion and unusual physique. I based my university thesis on them and I was also inspired by their looks when I got to design my final year ready to wear collection. The smell of sulfur and their greenish skin combined with historical references to their persecution in Salem or their pact with the devil where a constant in my head during that period. The Wicked Witch of the West or Angelica Houston in the film "Witches" are the perfect incarnation of such mesmerizing creatures. If you cannot get enough of them you can either go to "Wicked" musical, inspired by the villains on "The Wizard of Oz" or watch a re-run of "Bewitched" episodes. Witches have certainly put a spell on me!
