Fantastic Mr. Fox


Wes Anderson take on the classic children´s book written by Roald Dahl, is a feist of stunning aesthetics and whimsical storytelling. Wes managed to surprise us with a contemporary take on robery and the morality behind it with a sixties wardrobe and delicate and well thought out editing. Entirely filmed with miniature scale characters and sets, is more than a children´s movie, in fact, is an adult and naïve take on self exposure and a judgemental society with purgatory standards.
Wes, you did it Again!

Terry Richardson

This cheeky New Yorker, who by the way was my neighbour while leaving in New York, is a sweet and shy man with white trailer trash looks that might put you off at first glanze. Unlike his narcissistic portraits and work, where he feels the need to appear in almost any sanpshot he takes, in real life is a cool  and laid back dude with a great sense of humour and great manners, but that is only after you break the shell and force yourself to bring up some conversation more than once! On my last visit to New York I met him chilling on the street with the cool Nolita kids, and he has not change a bit. A fan of his controversial work and of the man himself, if you wish to see more of Terry´s unusual world check out http://www.terrysdiary.com/
Oh Terry you are so fine, you are so fine...You blow my mind! Hey Terry!

Freemans

My favourite hangout in New York, without a doubt, is Freemans on Freeman Alley, close to Bowery in Lower Manhattan. It is jam packed with gorgeous people with an effortless cool attitude about themselves. Besides the beautiful crowd and waiters, the drinks are a must, specially French 65(champagne with dry tonic and fizzy water), and the menu is just a delight. My recommendation for all of you, if you eat meat of course, would be the seared Filet Mignon with roasted onion, mashed potatoes and horseradish cream...YUMMY! It makes my watering mouth go bananas! If you have a chance, pop by and enjoy both the view and the food. http://freemansrestaurant.com/

Björk videos





Not only she has the voice of a mermaid, but her aesthetics on videoclips are to die for. Always collaborating with new and upcoming film makers, she is willing to take a risk in her image, knowing that the first impact is what really counts. Here are just a short example of what she is capable of orchestrate. I do hope you enjoy her Icelandic lunacy like I do. Bjórk you are so much better off without those sugar cubes...Blind the world with your talent!

Monica Vitti

Michelangelo Antonioni´s muse, is an inspiration for all of us. Born in Rome in 1931, she is as secretive with her private life as she is with her real name, Maria Luisa Ceciarelli. Her intensity and way of acting in front of the camera, landed her impeccable roles like the ones on L`Aventura, La Notte or Deserto Rosso, all of this movies directed by her rumored lover Antonioni. A great dresser and with thick voluminous blonde hair, she epitomizes the perfect Sixties Donna that all of the women aspire to be, no wonder she was featured in all the Italian Vogues of that era!... And God created Monica...!

Nerds

They have always been my favourite gang at school. Cool and nonchalant, they wear trendy clothes without even knowing they are creating a new wave in style. Indispensable the geeky glasses and weirdo attitude, this quiet rebels always turn out to be models, computer programmers, artists or skateboarders and manipulate media and social circles. Great example the dorky Daria from MTV, a grand nerd in a major manner. Unfortunately I have never had a strong geeky look, therefor, I would never pull off a pair of masking tape glasses and colour clashing outfit. I heart all of you NERDS of the world!

Sun tan lines

Sun tan lines are the sexiest souvenir you can bring back home from your holydays! Your skin is marked by your swimsuit and the rest of your body glistens with a gold sun kissed shade. It is fabulous and fun, and what better thing to see on others when they get back from a fun seaside trip? This is an example of my Spring break trademark. If it is up to me, nudism is out of fashion!
