Tougher Than Leather – Sandal Skateboard

Wheeled sports get me as far as bicycles, I must say. I always look at kids doing tricks with their skateboards and ask myself how they manage to keep their feet on!

Now I have an answer to that! It’s as simple as skate-sandal! I don’t know if it actually works, if the skate-maestros can perform with such creations, at least now I can stick to the skateboard too!

Pantene Anti Breakage Shampoo Advertising Campaign

It’s not on everyday basis you get the chance to live a fairytale that enchanted your childhood…

“Rapunzel, rapunzel, let down your hair, so that I may climb the golden stair!” was the inspiration for Pantene’s Anti-Breakage Shampoo campaign taking place in Toronto. Just take a look. Is it really appealing? or appalling?

Chanel Resort 2009 – A Freezing Black And White Perspective Over Summer 2009

When you declare that your inspiration was a dead man on the bottom of a swimming pool, what is there more to expect from the general outcome?

Karl Lagerfeld is taking things further into black and white with Chanel Resort 2009. Here I was, innocently imagining I was going to see some colors (or at least the stars and stripes from last time!) and got a stiff layout of suits and the most vivid colors were pale blue, pink and yellow plus a dress that seems to be a cut-open operation on some cow-stomach since the section only shows us flowers! Please enjoy the most “alive” pieces from the Chanel Cruise 2009 Collection! (and right after, the pieces justifying his inspiration from Rolling Stones member Brian Jones and his “death by misadventure” at the bottom of his pool)

Porsche Design – The Essence Men’s Perfume

Why not matching your car and your fragrance? At least they could have started the perfume-experience with a car-fragrance, but if recession’s really coming, then a fast forwarded expansion is in order – first kitchens, now perfumes.

Posche will release The Essence – a man’s fragrance with Clarins. If I take things literally, l’essence means gasoline in French. So let’s hope it has nothing to do with it!

Friday Break – Anthony Quinn Zorba’s Dance From Zorba The Greek

It’s Friday, remember? This one, despite a terrible flue coming over me, I’m fighting the virus with the fiercest weapon of them all: love for life, love for love.

In case you forgot yourself under a thick corporatist outfit, take it off and breathe! Take a laugh and dance! Nothing works better! Enjoy Anthony Quinn’s Zorba’s Dance from Zorba the Greek (and right after, the original Sirtaki theme song by Mikis Theodorakis live but it just doesn’t work like Anthony Quinn’s dance)!

Gwyneth Paltrow Cover No 53 June/July 2008 By Mario Sorrenti

I never look at my keyboard when writing and this time I started the article looking at Gwyneth Paltrow’s picture.. you know.. for inspiration…And the first letters just came by themselves when I wanted to write “Gwyneth” I wrote “why” instead.

Why Gwyneth? Why another you on another magazine cover? I was so well without! I even moved on with SJP’s number! I was beginning to believe there was no more Gwyn’menace and then pop! This cover is soooo wrong, I don’t even know where to begin (let’s start with the cover and then take care of the three more pictures following)!

Colleen Baran Love Letter Ring – One Second To Say You Miss Them

How many times a day you tell your dear ones you love them? Or miss them? Or how many times a week? A month? A year?

Colleen Baran is the easiest way to tell them you miss them every day, every minute, every second. That’s how long it takes to stamp “I miss you the second you leave” with your ring. Call me romantic, it’s a weird ring (it turns out it looks really intriguing when on finger) but I like it. Always tell your dear ones you love them, and how much you miss them every second you’re apart!
