Insomniac Manhattan..

“Manhattan. Sometimes from beyond the skyscrapers, across the hundreds of thousands of high walls, the cry of a tugboat finds you in your insomnia in the middle of the night, and you remember that this desert of iron and cement is an island.”

Albert Camus

Sylvia Plath Reads ‘Daddy’

“Daddy,I had to kill you”

Or kill me instead.

Madonna Vs Mc Cain…1-0

Yes,its a fact that Madonna did manage to make Mc Cain and his supporters feel annoyed as she chose to feature his image along with ones of Hitler and Robert Mugabe on a huge video screen while performing “Get Stupid” track from the last “Hard Candy” cd.In the very end of the song,images of Barack Obama were featured instead, along with ones of John Lennon,Mahatma Gandhi,Al Gore.

It is a typical “Madonna” act,expressing not only her very personal political views but…teaching once more that the best way to promote yourself is… to create tension around your name,negative of positive,indifferent.The absolute perfection of dog’s tail brilliant PR master class attributed to Alkibiades…

to view the live version of the song..

yet, to be honest,THIS was my fav Madonna moment…

“ITS NOT THE MEN IN MY LIFE,NO..”

…its the Life in my Men…”

ELLEN VON UNWERTH for CHANTAL THOMASS-Lady Sybilia’s Archives.

By ELLEN VON UNWERTH for CHANTAL THOMASS

“C’est l’originalité de ce projet qui a décidé Chantal Thomass, créatrice emblématique de la lingerie de luxe à la française, à inaugurer la collection. Son univers tendre, foisonnant, infiniment sexy, est un merveilleux support imaginatif. Quant au vocabulaire spécifique de la lingerie, “tulle, gaufre, crème, balconnet, mousse…”, è lui seul il ouvre à tous les fantasmes, toutes les fantaisies d’écriture. Pour ce premier ouvrage, chaque écrivain a reçu une parure différente de Chantal Thomass dans une boîte en forme de coeur rose et noir. C’est donc le prétexte à l’écriture d’une nouvelle. Rythmé par les magnifiques photographies d’Ellen Von Unwerth, un Abécédaire accompagne les huit nouvelles inédites, présentant le vocabulaire spécifique et sensuel de la lingerie, des anecdotes historiques, des citations littéraires… Bref, une promenade littéraire et ludique dans l’imaginaire de la lingerie.”

Celebrating Lady Sybilia’s B-Day!

fabulously celebrating Lady Sybil-Ilia’s B-day!

Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche,Autumn/Winter 2008 menswear collection video by Stefano Pilati.

“To show his Autumn/Winter 2008 menswear collection for Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, creative director Stefano Pilati broke the mould of the traditional catwalk show by presenting his collection via film. Originally displayed on a triptych of screens, the film plays across three frames of action and is here shown in its entirety. Romantic, ethereal and yet technologically complex, the film manages to evoke the twin dynamics of familiarity and formality and the tension of old and new constantly at play in Pilati’s offerings for men.”
