Beautiful people

The last two days reminded me that Paris is an unpredictable place. One can have a very Oriental afternoon while being at rue Saint-Honoré or dip into another world behind the Costes door or go to an exposition and get an ugliness shock. The last happened thanks to Diane Arbus whose work can be ,,admired" in Jeu de Paume. Or better not. One of her quotes I read there was: ,,I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn't photograph them''. And I really believe it would be better if she didn't. Freakshow must not go on.

It was tremendous. It left me speechless. But remaining mute seems to be " in " according to the film academies nowadays.   Angelina Jolie   has done an amazing job with her first movie '' In the Land of Blood and Honey ''.

The results are unbelievable and the contribution she is making to this world again and again is just admirable. The movie is touching a delicate topic that needed courage in order to be touched.

Nevertheless, I have started my sunday with a great time at Lo...

And that was pure art!  Art can always get Bigger. Better. Stronger.  That's why fashion is so fascinating and we are so happy to have so many brilliant voguish minds around us.. While watching the Alexander McQueen F/W 2012/2013 show, the same excitement of viewing something ingenious overwhelmed me.. Fur was everywhere. Creativity was exploding.. Through Sarah Burtons hands, Alexander McQueen became suddenly Alexander MyKing ..  A mind that creates inter alia à la Daphne  shoes can only be an angel sent from heaven, even if this mind has already returned home.. But thanks to all those terrific pieces, we have heaven on earth..
