I wish I was in Mexico to get a sugar skull with my name on it and do the whole celebration of death. Ok, maybe I just wished I had one sent to me where I am. In America people do Halloween; a chance to dress up and be whatever your heart desires for one day. Director Graydon Sheppard has the best costume ever this year. He is Dragonee the record man.
Me and Jessica could not compete…but we loved playing “twins”.
Rad Hourani debuted his collection in Paris and none other than style.com named him on their noteworthy talent list. His consistent style and vision translated really well into his designs.
Last time I saw Rad he had just moved to Paris; I am very glad to see he is doing so well there as he is one of the sweetest guys you’ll ever meet.
I have heard that you are who you hang out with…
The very handsome and lovely Graydon Sheppard made it to a list -as a director- of one of the best 20 production companies worldwide, not only because he is one of the best along some other big names like Jonathan Glazer and David Fincher, but because he is “disturbing”. Here a video and some photographs by mon lovely deranged:
Nantes - Beirut
Je suis prêt!! I love his boat shoes, every boy should have a pair of those.
Where Do You Go To My Lovely - Peter Sarstedt
I wish my clothes were all made by Balmain too.
Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg - Je T’aime… Moi Non Plu
La petite mort song.
Do I need to say anythign about this?
It was directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino. Charlotte Gainsbourg and the video are painfully beautiful in the most simple of ways.
Or guilty pleasure of a grown woman. Or I never do this but truly had to say something.
I saw “Eastern Promises” last night and though Anthony Lane from the New Yorker gave David Cronenberg’s film a less than favourable review he was right in saying that “in a way, this is a tribute to Mortensen”. I am in platonic love, not sure if with the Russian Siberia ex-con mob driver who looks like Viggo Mortensen, or with Viggo the Roman statue of a man he is. Looks aside Mortensen is a stupendous actor and as a person seems to have substance to him: he has an art publishing company, is an artist himself (his work is actually interesting), and is very political (the right kind of politics).
If i had already seen the film when I ran into him at the Four Season hotel during TIFF -him coming out of the elevator, me going in- I truly would have thrown myself at him. OK, maybe not.
It is worth mentioning that Denise Cronenberg did such a good job with the wardrobe. Mortensen and Cassel looked amazing, in the way that I imagine the nouveau riche Russian mob would look like. Mortensen was so immaculately groomed he could cut ice with his sharpness. I am sure I will see an editorial in L’Uomo Vogue inspired on this movie’s wardrobe. “Eastern promises” is excellent regardless of Mortensen,Cassel, or the wardrobe.
Joy to the eye: Vincent Cassel and Viggo Mortensen in one movie.
