CUTE SUMMER HAIRSTYLES

HEDI SLIMANE'S LATEST PHOTOSHOOT

Hedi Slimane is one of my favourite photographers. This man really owes his career to Yves Saint Laurent who hired him as head menswear designer in 1996. Later on, he started designing for Christian Dior. Known as a charming polymath, he is a photographer and artist too.

BLOMMERS AND SCHUMM PHOTOGRAPHERS

The pair of photographers Blommers & Schumm, from the Netherlands, always invert the expected. Bot only slightly, so that it takes a while to figure out what exactely is so odd about the photograph. Here they photographed the fashion designer twins Rolf and Viktor.

A CUTE POEM: I CAN'T TELL YOU...

My very special friend from Cape Town sent me this beautiful poem today from Margaret Atwood today.

I Can't Tell You

I can't tell you my name: you don't believe I have one
I can't warn you this boat is falling
you planned it that way

You've never had a face
but you know that appeals to me
You are old enough to be my
skeleton: you know that also.

I can't tell you I don't want you
the sea is on your side
You have the earth's nets

I only have a pair of scissors.
When I look for you I find
water or moving shadow
when you are lost already.

HOME SWEET HOME

What do I think of when I hear the word "home"? Here are some images that evoke a feeling of heimat to me. Sometimes the idea of "home" cannot be translated into words. Often, smells and sounds trigger these memories more evocatively than words can.
