LET THE BEAT BUILD

Mr Man showed me this video some time ago and I really liked it. Let alone the orchestration, vocals and flow which are pretty fresh (for hip hop lovers out there), the video is something too. All in one take; you do have to see it a couple of times to fully realize the skill this has taken. Somebody really thought this one through I say.

Enjoy xx

SOHA

This song seriously makes me want to jump on the next plane to Cuba......(sigh)

CULTURAL ELEVATION FLOP

I was looking forward to seeing the Dior exhibition at Le Bon Marché with my sister.
Was very disappointed, it looked like a man size commercial, - bar a couple of beautiful vintage pieces - it was home to the swankiest fragrance ads and catwalk retrospectives. Not worth the queue..(a queue in a department store please!). So obviously we had to drawn our sorrow in a thé gourmant, which thankfully, was worth it!

McQ

Spectacular footwear from the Mc Queen SS11 collection :



a little retrospective...



and, as a perfect companion for a bit of friday night grocery shopping which will make all the local fashionistas regrouped in the health section drop their Gayelord Hauser oat & fibre biscuits in disarray, i present you the glamazone meets pegasus number. Eat this B•@#!!

AWOL

Absence without leave, i deserted my own book. It's one thing to fill your life, but another one to set aside the time to record and share. After much deliberation with, well, myself, I think i'm ready to press the red button again.
