Express yourself, don't repress yourself...

To be truthfully honest, I was never a die-hard Madonna fan until I went to her Sticky and Sweet concert here in Buenos Aires (that's right people, the same concert that was recorded for the DVD).

After seeing her live on that stage, and witnessing the amount of energy and talent that she possesses, you can only stand awestruck at what she is, the one and true diva of the stage, there is no one else but Madonna.

I know it may be a cliché a gay boy drooling after Madonna, but I can't help it, she got to me. 
During the show I never stopped screaming and singing her songs, and trust me, I never acted like that before during a concert.

Why am I doing this post on Madonna you may ask? Well, for one, I just bought the Sticky & Sweet DVD filmed live here in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The other reason is that I just found these amazing pictures of the queen of pop taken by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott for Interview magazine.






Is this Madonna's new look? I mean she did invent the 80's neo-romantic look with blond hair and black eyebrows... 

I love it, plus she looks younger and hotter than ever. 

She's the original.

Marc and Lorenzo split?

Marc Jacobs


Lorenzo Martone


They're the Brangelina of the fashion world, Marc Jacobs and his Brazilian hubby Lorenzo Martone.

Now there are rumors floating around that these two are over, even though they're just rumors for now, neither Marc's people or Lorenzo's people are commenting on the matter at hand, Jacobs and Martone made their relationship public at the 2008 Met Ball and tied-the-knot this past New Year's Eve supposedly, in St. Barth's

I just hope it's all a lie, a big false and nasty lie; I love these two together, and if they are going thru a rough patch I hope they work it out.

Spanish Beauty...

Andres Velencoso Segura is one of the most successful male models of our days, he's a native from Spain, and from there he skyrocketed onto the international fashion stage.

For it's May 2010 cover, Spanish Vanity Fair photographed the classical beauty completely naked, I'm willing to predict that it will be one of the most solicited issues of the spanish magazine.


Andres Velencoso is the cover model for Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male, and Chanel's Homme Sport before Jude Law, honestly I prefer Andres instead of dear old Jude. Luckily for me, here in Argentina they sell Spanish Vanity Fair, so I'll be able to get my hands on a copy of it's May 2010 issue very soon.

Still here...

Even though I haven't posted anything in a while, it doesn't mean I'm gone.

Rio was amazing, I'll be putting up photos from my trip; yesterday I went to a cocktail for Paris by Flor Monis, a new brand inspired my parisian culture and I'll be sharing that with you as well.

Keep posted, don't forget me.

Kisses

Thats the wonder of living in Buenos Aires, I have my favorite city with the best beaches only 3 hours away by plane. 

Rio de Janeiro!

Cidade Maravilhosa! 

If someone does read me in Rio, look me up in Leblon.



Two different videos that express the same thing, the awesomeness that Rio is...

Kris and Rocco

Some of you might say sandals are not the adequate shoe for the cold weather of fall and winter, but these high-top lace-up sandals from Kris Van Assche together with a thick wool sock might just do the trick.

I love the idea of gladiator style sandals on men, they were inspired by a man's shoe after all, plus they conjure up images of strapping sweaty men on an arena somewhere in Rome.



These loafers from Rocco Pistolesi I think are just amazing, the tassels, the worn out camel color, and the leather treatment make this shoe a fall must have... I just hope I can fulfill my own fashion advise and actually get these Pistolesi's.

Don't they have a boot feel, but even more cool because they're not? They're a bit more relaxed and casual.




If someone wants to send them to me... here's the website: luisaviaroma.com, they ship around the world, my shoe size is 9 american. Thank you!!

Argentinas

¡No llores por mi Argentina! es la famosa canción de "Evita", el musical de Andrew Lloyd Weber que encarna a una de las mujeres más enigmáticas de la historia argentina. 

Evita fue la primera dama de la Argentina y una luchadora por los derechos de todos sus compatriotas, durante el mandanto de su esposo fue criticada por su excesivo uso de alta costura francesa, algunos historiadores dicen que lo hizo para poder ser más respetada en ciertos circulos y asi poder ayudar más a sus descamisados, en cambio otros dicen que sólo lo hizo por su extremo populismo e hipocrecía. 

Lo que nadie puede negar es su increible gusto, Christian Dior llegó a decir que Eva Duarte de Perón fue la unica reina que el vistió. 

Ahora la mujer argentina tiene un nuevo rol en la moda internacional, las modelos criadas a base de milanesas con fritas y mate estan causando una nueva tendencia en la moda. Primero fueron las voluptuosas brasileras con curvas y fuertes pisadas, despues las rusas y europeas orientales con rasgos fuertes y pomulos hasta los cielos, ahora las holandesas con un aspecto mas atlético, y según Models.com parece que la próxima ola de modelos va a ser de la Republica Argentina con rostros inocentes y cuerpos delgados y altos.   

Estas son las argentinas causando furor en la reciente temporada F/W 2010.

Don't cry for me Argentina! is the famous song from "Evita," Andrew Lloyd Weber's musical that incarnates one of the most enigmatic argentinian woman.


Evita was Argentina's first lady and a fighter for equality for all of her compatriots, during her husband's mandate she was widely critized for her excesive use of french haute-couture, some historians say she did this to be more respected in certain circles of power so that she could help her descamisados, others say that it was largely dew to her rampant populism and hipocrecy.


But, no one can deny her incredible taste, Christian Dior once said that the only queen that he dressed was Eva Duarte de Peron.


Now, Argentinian women have a new rol on the international fashion stage, models raised on milanesas and mate are causing a new trend in fashion. First were the voluptuous Brazilians with their curves and strog stomp, then the Russians and Eastern Europeans with their strong facial features and cheek bones towards heaven, now the Dutch with their more athletic feel, and according to Models.com it seems that the next wave in models is going to be from the Argentine Republic with innocent faces and leans, athletic bodies.


These are some of the Argentinians causing a stir during the recent fashion seans F/W 2010.

Ghesquiere for Balenciaga

I love the things Cristobal Balenciaga did to create such a beautiful fashion house based on the most splendid haute-couture, and now Nicolas Ghesquiere is carrying on that great legacy into the 21st century.


These shoes are straight from some London mod girl's dream if she had lived in the 22nd century; futuristic loafers, playing with different textures, colors and shapes to create this amazing shoe.


Sometimes I really do envy women, but then I look at menswear at Prada, Givenchy and YSL and I cool down again.  

Ñaño

Isn't my pup beautiful? A Frenchie by the name of Ñaño, it means brother in quichua.

He's around seven months old and still being house trained, but every time I look into those eyes I just melt, it's tough training a dog this cute, ain't it?
