godard’s wife and muse, the lovely anna karina, in her original advert film debut as the foamy palmolive girl. by xy
tomorrow started
from Palmolive soap to Jean Luc Godard
anna karina in her palmolive advert days
the revamped anna karina under JLG’s spell
not sure what style.com is exactly talking about when they refer to anna karina not being “as well known”. that’s like saying, who is roland barthes? (if you are asking that very question then you are on the wrong blog). what style.com failed to mention after stating that godard had received an honorary oscar in november 2010, is that he declined to accept it. what i didn’t know however, and i’m happy to know from style.com is that coco chanel had a thing or two to do about her discovery. however even coco, the queen of fashion, couldn’t save anna from palmolive… that credit goes solely to god… ard!!
my favorite films with anna are: band of outsiders, une femme est une femme, masculin féminin and pierrot le fou… all worth the trouble. by dd

A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes – margiela’s fairytale
a dream is a wish your heart makeswhen you’re fast asleep
in dreams you lose your heartaches
whatever you wish for, you keep
have faith in your dreams and someday
your rainbow will come smiling through
no matter how your heart is grieving
if you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true

So disappointed with sweden
i have always spoke of sweden and the nordic states as the pinnacle of civilized world, as something US and the rest of the world should look up to. today i am so disappointed to see that even there everything is up for sale. by xy
de vera – anita calero
anita calero’s still life photographies illustrate two books for the exquisite two-level cabinet of curiosities on Crosby Street “de vera objects” and “de vera jewelry”. nice! great article here by pp.
the conformist at film forum
bernardo bertolucci’s “the conformist” is on screen at film forum. besides the story and everything that makes this movie on top of every list, it’s worth seeing just to realize how it was and still is one of the greatest references for people defining today’s visual surroundings. it has inspired everyone from david lynch to steven meisel, who totally plundered every single shot of the movie. a must see! btwn us, if you’re in nyc, such a movie is better on screen by pp.
the ball ring
