His music is in my ears since I can remember, for my father was a huge fan of The Jackson Five and of Michael afterwards. So this is not goodbye, 'cos he will be with us forever.

Best version... EVER!

Do Fashionistas Dream of Blade Runner?

Blade Runner (1982) has been one of my most fav films ever. It takes place in a decadent earth with a black atmosphere only lighted by big fires coming out from highest buildings and light umbrellas. This film is, actually, a classic and a cult movie and, aesthetically, the forerunner of lots of people desiring to take future to their present wardrobe (not telling being inspiration for lots of designers and stylists).

There are specially two (really opposite) characters in the film wich are source of all this futuristic fashion fever designed by Michael Kaplan:

Rachel

(This is the most exquisite kind of lady, innocent, with a film noir aura. Kind of an evolved 40's dame. Big hair, big shoulder pads, red lipstick and long red nails)

Pris
(She is the Punk babe, skilled in the manipulation of man, with sexier and more explicit outfits due to her condition of pleasure model. Flashy black eye make up on porcelain face, studded necklaces, mini skirts,suspenders and fishnet stockings)

And now, more than 20 years later, you still can find people inspired by their style. Here are a few samples:

V magazine (Love this kind of Rachel-Pris hybrid)

Junko Shimada (Paris Fashion Week 2008)

There are more and more examples out there on the internet, and I've found this tutorial on Pris Makeup. Wich one would be your style? I would suit with the sofisticated but obscure creature, love the mixture of these opposite styles.

Anyway, whether you like this aesthetics or not, I fully recommend to watch the film and read the book it is inspired from: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick. There's much more beyond this Future Noir, lots of philosophical and ethical questions; and, of course one of the recurring topics of this blog: Carpe Diem.

To finish, I leave you with one of the more beautiful and remembered moments of the film...

Indeed my favourite character is Roy...

The Importance of Being Stupid

Importance Of Being Stupid

Be honest, how many times a day do you feel stupid? I mean really stupid... I must say that it would be impossible for me to count them, and I am only talking about the 9 hours i'm working. And why happens to me that way? It is because Science really makes you realise you know almost nothing. You'd say "ok baby, Socrates had already said that", and that's true, but are we really prepared to be aware of our total ignorance?

I really agree with the author when he says that the education we recieve just prepares us for right the contrary: if you get good records it means you're smart and you have knowledge in certain areas, and that's all. Neither you or anybody would dare to think any other way.

But when you get to continue your studies in a higher level, I mean a phD, the thing gets a little bit different... Actually you're working but you're constantly feeling like an awful student, and the worst thing is you get used to it. You have to deal with the fact of asking yourself unanswered questions and find the results just by yourself and never really knowing if you're doing right 'till the end, or not even then, 'cos the ones you think would have all the answers only have a little percentage of them. That's when you really understad how little we are all.

Is this happening to you in your daily life?

Thoughtful day, you see...

Outfit for a Night Wedding

I almost have everything by now: the dress (Love it!), the clutch will be selfmade (Valentino's not very affordable) and the shoes you already know them! Looking for the jacket, and maybe I'll add some selfmade bow headpiece...
What do you think?

Oh, la lá!

Today has been one of those "film addict days". A day to watch and rewatch favourite movies one after another. Most remarkable one has been "8 Femmes" wich is some kind of 50's musical cluedo. Just love everything about it, the actresses (Isabelle Hupert is one of my favs ever!), music, the plot even reminds me a little of Hitchcock's Perfect Murder all shot in just one setting, and, of course, the costume designs, wich cannot be more accurate, you almost can tell every character's personality just by glancing at it.

I recommend you all to watch this film, maybe musical is not your kind, but it really deserves the try to see this Great Dames of Cinema not only performing perfectly but also singing lovely. If you follow my advice, please let us know wich one of them would be your alter ego. I've said before I love Isabelle Hupert, but my kind of character is Fanny Ardant's Pierrette. Pretending to be sofisticated and strong with that film noir aura, but, actually, fragile and vulgar... but really a free spirit above all social statements. Her style just shocks me, all red and black as I usually dress, and the best thing is that I totally agree with her:

For what is worth living free if you live your live without love?

Did I say I love Shoes???

Like Bradshow, I also like my money right where I can see it... In this case on my feet. Remember last post about Pura López's? I finally chose a different model, more comfortable, more stylish... more expensive... (I won't be able to waste more money this month :( but these beauties really deserve it!!!)

I love the detail of the nude inner sole... and all of it is real leather!

By the way, I went to buy these wearing another sample of spanish shoe design excellence: my lovely and comfy Neosens platform Oxfords (all leather too).

Sunny afternoon (at last!!! Winter would never end!), russian red lippy, gorgeous shoes, some shopping... who could ask for more?

Spanish 60's Folk REALLY ROCKS!!!

Remember my last post about Beyonce singing like a spanish 60's folk singer? Let's better go step by step:

1.- Beyonce "Single Ladies"



2.- Encarnita Polo's "Paco Paco"



See the resemblance? Boys and girls dressed in black and the fanatic love for wigs of the two singers? Even when there's about 40 years from one video to another... Nothing has ben invented in music since the 60's!!! (Hail to the Beatles!!!)

3.- Hybrids...






Sorry for being repetitive but this just makes me laugh so much!!! Indeed this is a catchy song!!! Paco's one, of course!!!!!

Hello Lover!

Veís esto? Pues la próxima vez lo veréis en mis pies!!!

See this? So next time you'll see me wearing them!!!

Spanish Design y Olé!
