MIRANDO / BLANCA GUERRERO

Make it the latest trend,
then abandon it, and
start a new one
Make it something that turns heads. Make it you.
Make it real.
Make it an overheated sewing machine at 3 a.m.
Make it transform a pile of scrap fabric
into a next level handbag.
Make it new, make it sparkle
Make it do the talking for you.
Make it something that everyone will call a statement,
but you'll just call a random tuesday.

Etre une personnalité ou avoir de la personnalité ?


Yesterday, Lanvin released its fall-winter 2012 campaign video which, instead of models, features real people with all sorts of interests from all walks of life.

One woman collects salt and pepper shakers. Another man says that he really likes to eat frozen blueberries. A younger woman talks about an unspecified band she clearly despises, saying they're "Douchy, gross, masculine, like, in a bad way—just, like, ugh."

Lanvin Fall/Winter 2012  celebrates Individuals with individuality.
Reality... Not Reality Stars.

BEGIN IT NOW

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back-- Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.

COOL KIDS IN BROOKLYN: DRUGS+DREADS





























http://drugsbydreads.tumblr.com/post/28365925331
I have discovered the definition of Beauty–of my Beauty. It is something ardent and sad, something slightly vague, giving rein to conjecture. I shall, if you wish, apply my ideas to a perceptible object; for example, to the most interesting object to be found in society, to a woman’s face. A lovely and enticing face-a woman’s face, I mean–is something that makes you dream simultaneously, though in some confusion, of sensual pleasure and of sorrow. It conveys a certain melancholy, a weariness, even satiety–and at the same time a contrary idea: an ardour, a desire to live, coupled with a recurrent bitterness, such as might come of privation and despair. 
Baudelaire

HE GONNA LEAVE ME WALKING LIKE BAMBI


There are lots of amazing pop songs that deal with love, heartbreak, friendship, dancing, deception, revenge, religion and power struggles. They tend to be the right mix of vague and universal so people can relate to them and think: "Yes, Lady Gaga, I too have experienced some bad romance in my time."
What you don't often get is a pop song that references a specific London bus route. Step forward Ruby Goe, whose excellent Get On It features the line, "I take the 149, I reach just in time", as electronic drum beats and fizzing synths explode around her. To get clarification, I messaged her on Twitter to confirm the bus route from London Bridge to Edmonton Green by way of Shoreditch had indeed inspired the song. She replied: "Its the unpredictable kingsland road sat4am armageddonesque shitfest i have trouble with." Get On It is the tale of everything leading up to that "sat4am" meltdown, with Goe "getting dressed in heavy black" before heading out, meeting a man and having a romantic liaison that leaves her "walking like Bambi". For the video, funded by Puma, Goe writhes around in some glittery black oil, dances in a big white room before finally vomiting said oil over the walls. Expect Ruby Goe's delirious take on modern pop to be big in 2012.
