Don't judge yourself too harsh, my love

There's a series of pictures released by Louis Vuitton for their last FW 2010 show of their models with no make up.
After going to a ton of castings, I've seen a lot of natural model faces, but this picture is still fascinating to me.

Those mug shots are amazing, they show that models, real models, have something definitely different.
And yeah, most women won't recognize themselves looking at models, but that's not the point, you don't need to always see yourself in everything you look at, i don't make a parallel with my life when I look at a Basquiat painting, or when I see a movie.
Those women are unusual, different, beautiful for some, aliens for others. They don't look like playmates and most guys will probably think those girls are not attractive, but they have an interesting look, which to me is way more important and actually more attractive than the bimbo look. We are such in a culture where everything and everybody has to be perfect, and it gets boring. But fashion, art, music taste definitely better when it's interesting and when the standards aren't respected.

Dreaming of sunshine


OK, I need to post more, I know. I'm lazy, I know. But I don't wanna write about my everyday life, it'll get real boring, even for my only 2 followers..!
So I'm having an Asahi in my backyard, it's 5.30 pm, the sun is here, a nice little breeze, my dog is chewing is bone frenetically... It could be the right time to post something.

I'm sooo ready for summer and so much happier when the sun is out. Not having to wear a jacket or a cardigan, no socks, no need to bring a coat when I go out, dresses, skirts, jumpsuits, cropped tees,...! Heaven! And I'm excited to go swimwear shopping, I already found way too many cool stuffs online, I need to make up my mind. I have a big crush on this baby and I think I'm ready to fall in love:


But I might also cheat on him with this one:


And in the family "only in my dreams but if I could I would", I found this ridiculously awesome brand who has the best swimsuits, limited editions and handmade. Those are my 3 favorite ones of their new collection:







Aaaaaaahhhh I've never been so impatient to be half naked!
Now if I could wear those cuties, lay down, listen to the ocean with a margarita on my side, it would be even nicer. No one has the Genie of the Lamp cellphone..?
