If you look closely at that tram-station window, you can see a colored drawing of an old man on it. It is a graduation project that got all the needed approvals from the town-hall in Timisoara, so these drawings on a lot of public tram-stations are legal. They represent different types of people who mostly use public transportation. I’d be curious to see all the drawings, however the temperatures are way too much outside for me to dare and take walks around town.

Cute idea though. And the fact that there was an actual old men waiting in the station, near the drawing, who seemed to be the living example of the drawing was even funnier.

Elise Crombez was my first model crush a couple of years ago, when I discovered that you can find pictures of all the collections from international fashion weeks online. I seriously used to spend days and days saving them all in categories and folders, neatly and cleanly organized. Looking through all the collections, I noticed that some girls were everywhere. One of them was Elise. Now-a-days we don’t really get to see here that often, however I’m always happy when she gets editorials in magazines. She is not breathtakingly beautiful, nor has she a colorful personality that translates into photos, but it’s just that there is some bond between us that is inexplicable to me. She’ll forever be my first model crush!

And then there is this male model: “made” by star photographer Mario Testino, I present you David Gandy. He is too perfect to be human, and by perfect I mean the epitome of the idea of male for me: powerful, dark-haired, amazingly good looking, Latin lover type of guy. And I think David Gandy is all that and even more. I know that there’s a part of me that likes them male models to be cool, alternative rocker dudes, however, hypothetically, when you imagine who you’d spend the rest of your life with, I’m sure you’d rather choose powerful and handsome over cool and dirty.

As seen in V Man #9 Fall/Winter0.

OK, enough eye candy for today: ladies, get back to work!

Ever since Closer, I’m such a fan of Clive Oven! You probably saw this commercial before, but it doesn’t hurt to watch again, does it?

On the edge, but I like them. I think they are strong photographs. They do tell the story.

Oh and those corsets, I don’t want to start saying how much I like them.

Not wearable? So what! Future!!!

“Gustav Klimt was an Austrian Symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Art NouveauVienna Secession) movement. Klimt’s primary subject was the female body and his works are marked by a frank eroticism. His ‘Golden Phase’ was marked by positive critical reaction and success. Many of his paintings from this period utilized gold leaf.”

The Kiss.

The Tree of Life.

He is one of my favorite painters, I read some of his biographies and also saw a movie about his “artistic madness”: Klimt (2006) starring John Malkovic.

These are some prints a friend of mine did for school. Too bad she didn’t use original gold leaf and more detailing in these try outs.

I would love to see a whole collection based on Klimt’s work as inspiration.
