I love how Dionne Warwick is able to go from this tiny voice all the way up to this huge voice and down again, i've always dream about being able to sing like her... plus she didn't fucked her voice up like her cousin Whitney...

Daphne

2009-09-16T18:52:00.001-07:00

One of the reasons i created this blog in the first place was to make a post about the Divine Daphne Guinness. Alas, after a while of being posting i had lost my interest in her, don't know why. But my interest and devotion are back. I frankly want to be just like her: stunningly elegant and chic, hyperactive and creative and oh-so-nice. She seems like the nicest of people. I don't know what else to say, she just makes me smile...

2009-09-15T09:05:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow is Mexico's Independence Day and every time that day comes most mexicans try to find a meaning to being mexican, how can we relate to "mexicanity". Because of the way i am, when i try to answer this question i look for images and ideas that are both inherently mexican but that can also satisfy my need of elegance and pride. This past days i've been thinking of what is "the mexican elegance" and the pictures above reflect somehow, not entirely, my conclusions. I think Mexican Elegance is feminine in nature but strong and aggressive in character. I think of Mexico as a virile mother who could destroy you just with a look. Salma Hayek, Maria Felix, Gloria Guinness (who was born in Veracruz), The Catedral Metropolitana, a Tehuana ( the tehuanas here were photographed by Graciela Iturbide) all of them synthesize this idea. Mexico is a bitch to say it in a few words; but a subtle bitch. As subtle as a Barragán environment or a Figueroa photograph.

Mexican Elegance can be found in many other manifestations, it's landscape for example, this photos were selected so to match with the blog's main theme.

Few of us are encouraged to get a job for skill.
And all of us live under the mercy of male society,
Thinking that their want is our need

ladies who lunch

2009-08-14T12:29:00.000-07:00

Today I woke up with this song in my head, which reminds me of the women of my childhood. The women who would who have lunch and then pick up their kids at my school. The gossip, the bitchiness, the unbearable bad taste. Maybe it's because yesterday i had an encounter with a woman, a teacher, who seems to be quite the opposite, or at least critical of those ladies who lunch. I'm in a transition between that bourgeoisie i was never part of but in which i was brought up and something else, the kind of transition that makes you ask yourself who you are, and what do you want...
...All that in a Sondheim song.

Christy II

2009-08-03T18:05:00.000-07:00

My favorite model of all time, Christy Turlington, is on the cover of the American Vogue. The article that runs with the cover is full of BS just as any Vogue article is still, just seeing Christy's face ("The Face") made my day, there's something about her that soothes me...

She's also the new face of YSL

and she's still working for Bally

Berlin

2009-07-19T11:20:00.000-07:00

Lately i've been mesmerized by the idea of Berlin, i've never been there and frankly i've never been interested on going; but it has been constantly in my mind for some time now.

A while ago i watched this short film by Ridley Scott produced by Prada Perfums, Berlin looks so futuristic, sleek and cool, with this restrained elegancy to it.

Then this week through a preposterous "documentary" on XX century's architects i discovered Mies's Neue Nationalgalerie which was his last work and where, to my eyes, his aesthetic principals are the strongest and work in a different way compared to his other buildings. The manipulation of light and dark again makes me think of this elegant and otherworldly place.

On top of all this I just discovered that Oliafur Eliasson, one of my favorite artists, has his studio there...

Belin seems like my kind of place now.

2009-07-11T13:52:00.000-07:00

I just rediscovered Sufjan Stevens, I first heard about him a while ago and i wasn't impressed; now though i greatly enjoy his music: the melody, the amount of instruments and above all the lyrics. Of course it also helps that he's extremely good looking and has eyes to die for...

...Oh and he's the only person i find attractive in sweatpants.

Big Mama Thornton.

2009-07-03T07:17:00.000-07:00

Big Mama Thornton, the first one to record "Hound Dog" and "Ball 'n' Chain" is pure rock 'n' roll. A huge woman with a huge voice always doing it her own way...

I've been a Dries Van Noten fan ever since i first saw his work. I even went all the way to his Anwerpen flagstore just to find it closed... This last men's collection is so spectacular and so him, even Tim Blanks, who always says the most bizarre things, pointed it out.

The divine Mrs. Vreeland the most elegant and fun person ever!

Editor of the American Vogue from 1963 to 1971, famous for her over the top statements and her will to go beyond everyone else. Always in black, always with tons of accessories and lacquer in her hair, she was pure style.

i loathe fat people.

2009-06-13T15:07:00.000-07:00

Nan Kempner used to love clothes and who wouldn't love the kind of clothes she used to wear?

She was tall and slender, not beautiful but who needs beauty when you can wear a dress as well as she used to?

Elegance is an evasive virtue, Nan had it, that and a great sense of humor. What else can someone ask for?

2009-05-08T09:22:00.000-07:00

Gypsys, tramps, and thieves
Wed hear it from the people of the town
Theyd call us gypsys, tramps, and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down
