I remember Tilda’s appearance in Constantine, one of the movies I keep close to my heart. I couldn’t decide if I liked her, disliked her or completely hated her.
My feelings were far from being positive on her. She looked convincingly detestable to me but in a catchy kind of way. However, it was the fashion [...]

Fashion Photographers Portfolio – Mario Testino
I was always forced to blush and look away from a discussion about fashion photographers. I knew the names, saw them everywhere, but wasn’t quite able to make the difference or tell which was what.

Bert Stern has taken up a challenge – recreating Marilyn’s “Last Sitting” photographs taken while she was drunk and almost asleep (not to mention naked) at the Hotel Bel-Air. This last photo shoot was taken six [...]

Nicole Kidman as Marilyn Monroe for Harper’s Bazaar Anniversary Issue
Harper’s Bazaar Australia celebrated their 10th anniversary with a “Some Like it Hot” photo shoot with Nicole Kidman.
Now some like Nicole. I have to be honest about it and say I don’t. She’s cold and inexpressive and these photos don’t show anything less than that (at least she doesn’t get to wear her own clothes [...]
