it's summer in our part of the world

so we're off to enjoy the hot days & mild nights.

starting with a music festival for a couple of days,

followed by treks back and forth from the beach.

ciao!

everybody here wants you jeff.

lover, you should have come over.

who ever this song was intended for, you are one silly woman.

fat cat.

now, we'd truly hate to act like gossip girl as in reality it's super cringe.

but, on a certain 24th of december at a certain pub nearby, jess hart was spotted.

the level i reached in 'starstruck-ness' was off the chart, i'm kind of embarrassed.

anyway, this is really just an excuse to tell a mildly interesting story

and to put more beautiful pictures of beautiful people up...

the eraser.

Please excuse me but I got to ask

Are you only being nice

Because you want something

My fairy tale arrow pierces

Be careful how you respond

'Cause you'd not end up in this song

I never gave you an encouragement

And it's doing me in

Doing me in

The more you try to erase me

The more, the more

The more that I appear

Oh the more, the more

The more you try the eraser

The more, the more

The more that you appear

You know the answer so why do you ask

I am only being nice

Because I want someone, something

You're like a kitten with a ball of yarn

And it's doing me in

Doing me in

The more you try to erase me

The more, the more

The more that I appear

Oh the more, the more

The more I try to erase you

The more, the more

The more that you appear

No, you're wrong

johnny b. good.

either as his alternate (flamboyant) pirate persona or reclining on the floor with his family, depp will forever take the crown of the most handsomely-striking and beautiful living man.

but we also can't go past this ol' rocker (j. cash) and his ballad of an old beauty queen.

while we acknowledge that their looks are famed only due to a generous gene pool, we still like to look at them.

maybe their parents deserve the credit?

the times they are a-changin'.

this here is a few shots from the polarizing vogue italia december 2009 editorial.

.

matching the diy-esque cover, steven meisel's work
explores the twitter phenomenon with creativity and
humour whilst using some of the biggest name models in the industry.
.

it may not be typically beautiful or romantic, but it is certainly an interesting
(and funny - lara: "WERK!!") commentary on the
dominance and relevence of online social networking tools.

.

it is typical vogue italia style to provoke and for that we applaud them.

wild thang.

1) the favourite childhood book remade (and the heavenly acoustic 'arcade fire')

2) gaga's crazed antics

3) abbey lee's newest photo shoot

...and this band we just stumbled across.

'wild beasts'

but the coolest part about them is that the two vocalists are trained opera singers, craaaaazy (and they kind of sound like a cross between nick cave and antony hegerty.)

have a listen to all the kings men and hooting and howling
