An Armoured Heart: Too Dark To Be Sexy?

-

Perhaps the fact that I wouldn't be caught wearing this kind of outfits - [ever?] - is why I like it so much and find extremely sexy - in a rather smoky, lacy, shocking way...Although, as an official New Year's Eve resolution - I'll try to tend to be more risqué in 2012 in my choices for fashion...

I like it also, perhaps, for all the reasons one person or the other would like creative photography. 

I think the photographer Alexandre Dubois did a rather interesting look for this month's Faint magazine issue... And if you look at Dubois' webpage, you'd see that the element of 'gothic', smoky, lacy, hole-y is present in a lot of his photographs. 

 
 
 
 
 

I'm sure if he had to design the outfits for the main character of the upcoming film Rooney Mara - [have you already seen the American version of the much-acclaimed Swedish film A Girl With A Dragon Tattoo] - he would have done an awesome job!

So, I find it rather interesting that these photos of his that he did for the Faint magazine, actually, creeped out a lot of people in USA...Do they creep you out?

So, this year, instead of talking about how I'd lithe to be better, more productive, more attentive to my family matters, healthier, active, bla bla bla, I'd like to talk about how lucky some of us are who have someone special and dear to have celebrated the coming of the new year, when some people out there - don't... I'm lucky and I know it but it wasn't always the same.

I've spotted this girl in Soho. I couldn't help myself but noticing the way she put so many different patters and color blocks on one outfit and it all came together in harmony... I always thought that this look not for everyone. I wish I could do it, but with her - it looks amazingly great...

Asparagus Gratine: The Asparagus Way Into The German's Heart

-

For Germans the  Spargelzeit , or the white asparagus season, is an eagerly anticipated sign of spring. Depending on the weather, the season for asparagus begins some time in April and lasts until St. John the Baptist’s feast day June 24, and during this time the country is gripped by ‘Asparagus Fever’. From seasonal asparagus dishes to the white asparagus queen award - there's quite a bit of the history that goes back as far as the Greek and Romans... "Asparagus Gratine" seasonal dish at the Knochenhauer restaurant in Hildesheim, Lower Saxony: served with the potato pancake, ham and Hollandaise sauce. Having spent quite some time in Germany during the pick of the season, I've learned a lot about the history and tradition of the white asparagus season. Read here to find out why Germans call white asparagus "white gold".
