Based on Elton John performing at the « Muppet Show » in 1977. ELTON When the »The Lion King » came out, I sat in my room singing along to the cassette for hours. To this day, have not seen the movie, too worried I might be scarred for life, but I do know the lyrics off by heart. Family members gave me the « Very Best of Elton John » … Continuer de lire Icon Series: Elton
Moi, présidente, je ferais en sorte que chacun puisse apprendre et comprendre les lois, les régimes, les calculs auxquels nous sommes soumis en tant que citoyens. Il n’est pas normal que ces informations ne soient pas de notoriété publique. L’opacité et l’inintelligibilité des textes sont sidérantes.

J’ai acheté un magazine féminin. Une opération que je n’avais pas effectuée depuis environ deux ans. Je me suis dit que ça changerait de la sempiternelle publication musicale achetée pour la compil de l’été et pour me donner bonne conscience. Je suis repartie avec 100 pages de pub et 100 pages de conseils qui ne me servent à rien, n’ayant ni chien, ni mec. Pourtant … Continuer de lire J’ai acheté un magazine féminin.
The end of year holidays are all about it being too cold to venture outside, and being miserable because you forgot to stock up on food and now it’s too cold to venture outside. So you curl up in your pyjamas with a warm cup of something you managed to salvage from the back of a cupboard, and plonk down in front of the TV. … Continuer de lire Classic Holiday Season Movies
It’s one of those weeks. The kind of week that blends into itself and with every week that preceded and those to come. That’s how you end up in November, wondering where August, September and October went. It’s all a big, swirly ice cream sundae that you were looking forward to. It was there, waiting for you to lock your whetted lips around its creaminess. … Continuer de lire My 30 day-week, 31 when I’m lucky.
Do cinnamon hearts still exist? I seem to remember bags of them popping up in shopping outlets every Valentine’s Day, and then getting the stale leftovers on Hallowe’en. I was never a big fan of trick-or-treating. I usually had to wear a really scary costume to school, not the girly cute kind. One year, I got to be Cinderella, but not the glamourous version, nope. … Continuer de lire Beware the Giant, Man-Eating Pumpkin.
28 euro makes for a pretty hefty entrance fee for a fair. On the other hand, one gains access to current or future collectors’ items. Miro, Picasso, Hirst, de Stael, I won’t even attempt to list them all. The Cour Carrée of the Louvre, the Tuileries Gardens, and the Grand Palais are simply teeming with artwork, and an equally large crowd of people come to … Continuer de lire La Fiac 2009 – a foray into contemporary art
Il y quelques années déjà, un après-midi de pluie a Londres (plus vague tu meurs), j’étais tombée sur une émission ou des malabars faisaient pleurer un troupeau d’individus obeses. L’ « action » se déroulait dans un château. Les vedettes: des pèse-personne dignes d’un cargo. L’objectif officiel: remettre en forme des individus pour lesquels l’avenir était plus qu’incertain en raison de leur obésité morbide. Motif officieux: faire … Continuer de lire Et si on jouait au docteur?
Après environ deux ans d’absence, hier soir a marqué le retour fracassant de mon pied frétillant sur le lino d’une cave éclairée, de toute évidence, au groupe électrogène catatonique.

…the shoe manufacturer’s tradition of bouncing back. Converse is said to produce the world’s best selling shoe, the “All Star” or “Chuck Taylor”. Towards the end of the sixties, after decades of being a monochromatic shoe, it diversified its offer and reached a new public: footgear could now match school team colours for example.

Marquis M.Converse came up with the idea of rubberised footwear in response to harsh winters and to counter slips and spills. From the start, in 1908, it was intended as unisex and trans-generational gear. When talking about Converse shoes, most people are referring to the All Star. The canvas and rubber shoe was created in 1917 to try and capture the basketball market. It seems … Continuer de lire fashion with sole 2
Having celebrated local and foreign designers and their cutting edge trends, Australian Fashion Week is coming to a close. Not having been personally invited, I will probably have to keep my eyes peeled for new items in window displays for the next few months. All designer trends do not make it past the catwalk onto the street, however. It seems the only way haute couture … Continuer de lire Fashion with sole?
