Old style

There is something fashinating about what we call "vintage". Maybe it's the word, the fact that vintage means old and well kept. If we think about vintage clothes it jumps to our mind the image of this thin ladies very stilish and beautiful.
But vintage clothes are now for everyone who has enough money to spend on them. What was beautiful about vintage was that very few people had some clothes which could be called "vintage", but now with the explosion of this mania it's easy to buy some cloathes which are the same models as the old ones but that are made in China. If we think for example to Zara, they have many pieces of clothing which have this fantasies like the dresses from hte sixties.
So I'd concentrate on the things that really make us look as old stilished ladies: hatboxes and steamer trunks. They have this old fashioned allure and to have them is neades style, not money (which of course you have to have).



And the result will be that you will look fashionable as Audrey Hepburn.

Pattie Boyd

She was George Harrison's wife, then Eric clapton's wife. The muse of two of the biggest musicians ever, and it's not difficult to guess why. A style icon in the sixties before Twiggy, and much prettier than Twiggy.

Pattie Boyd!

Better Liam Gallagher or Noel Gallagher? Better Oasis!

Now that both brothers showed their new material as ex-Oasis the question is obvious... Who did the better job? Who is better? Who's the genius? As Beady Eyes have had their big ammount of unexpected success with "different gear still speeding", some Oasis purists were waiting for Noel's comeback. Now Noel and his new band the High Flying Birds have realeased their new single "The Death of You and Me". And now is obviously time for comparison. I'll tell you my opinion (as I always did actually). Beady Eyes is a good band, they've got the unmistakeble voice of Liam and the same songs as Oasis but without the sparkle (I'm not sure if the term is right) of Noel's presence.
The High Flying Birds are a godd bunch of musicians playing good music, they've got the unmistakable presence of Noel Gallagher and they play songs a bit different of the Oasis ones, but they miss that sparkle that made Oasis different from any other band, Liam's voice.
Now, I'm sure that both bands will have a fantastic future based on the success that Oasis had, because to be completely sincere, if Liam and Noel weren't famous for being in Oasis no one would have care less of both of them right now.
The High Flying Birds are too similar to any other rock band witch plays in british pubs, with the difference that they don't have the indie sound on witch is based the success of many new bands.
Beady Eyes simply make music that is too anacronistic for the 21rst century, they sound like a Beatles cover band!
So who's better?
Dear Liam and Noel, you can split on each other how much you want, but the truth is that only together you make wonderful music.
Oasis are better!
I like to remember them much more as brothers than as enemies.

Kurt Cobain and River Phoenix

I see a slight resemblance between the two in this photos, maybe it's not true, maybe it's just because of the hair, but I do see a resemblance...
Well, both R.I.P. with love

My own private idaho

I love this movie, it talks about a lost gereration. Mike with all of his problems, his family the fact that he's in love with his best friend Scott, the drugs. He's like a lost kid in a big cruel world, where the only person he trustes and he loves can't be his. Scott also is incredible, he's got this horrible relationship with his father taht helds him to do drugs and to prostitution, but in the end he manages to start a new life with Carmela, while Mike continues his self-distruction. They are rebels and they're desperates.
