Paper passion: Wallpapers perfume book by Karl Lagerfeld
paper passion perfume by steidel
purchased at liberty of london
well this looks very familiar! i think pp and kl may remember that…. i was in london few weeks ago and ran into this little lovely. i haven’t even smelled it yet but i guess i am the book lover they were after. the secret cut out book with hidden perfume bottle is beautifully produced by book publisher steidel. karl lagerfeld added a bit of cred but wall paper ruined the party a bit for me. nice still. by uh

TALIBAN – images found by Thomas Dworzak
“days after the taliban had fled the city of kandahar, the magnum photographer thomas dworzak discovered portraits of men in high-heeled sandals with make-up – a tradition of the native pashtuns long noted for their flamboyancy – hanging up alongside photographs of hollywood movie stars. with sultry poses in front of often garish backdrops, this is an illicit side of the taliban, not expected to be exposed.” from trolly books

to have and have another
now although the cover leaves something to be desired, i am hoping the content makes up for it in this case. a companion discussing the works of hemingway, and what drinks to pair when reading various novels, stories and anecdotes. this is a perfect gift for any hemingway fan or alcohol enthusiast. if you are looking to get me a gift this holiday season, i will take this and a nice bottle of scotch. cheers! by sv

two prophets: albert interprets fyodor
camus discusses his interpretation of fyodor dostoevsky’s the possessed (also known as the devils, or demons) into a play. the bon vivant says here that, “prophetic things tend to become topical” …i would say the opposite is also apparent. this is for those who think too much, as well as the ones who don’t think enough. by sv
