Four Eyes
Marissa | September 17th, 2012
With all the places to buy glasses in town it’s no wonder four eyes good two eyes bad here in The City of Roses. Amy Saks, Hollywood Vintage and Reynolds Optical (Founded in Portland, 1910) are all local, stylish places to find specs. Read More

Ideal Appeal
Igor | June 8th, 2012
Strangely enough, to me the most beautiful things that ever came from Russian creative debris are those drab yet charming products of Soviet industrial design which have been undeservingly ostracized by the new generation of home-grown engineers. Read More
Art is squat

Friche Belle-de-Mai in Marseille
Squatting buildings in Paris has become a way for young contemporary artists to show their work while making a real political statement against real estate speculation (among other things.)
Pavel Pepperstein Beautificating Reality
Igor | June 2nd, 2012
Anything can be beautiful when it comes to contemporary art. Well, at least when one’s scribbles on a piece of paper get acknowledgment within the academic realms of the visual arts scene. You don’t need to observe subtle nuances of shape and color, no one expects you to be able to paint or sculpt. Rather you should provide an original interpretation of your work and present certain skills to get to the very core of those tangled curatorial circles. Read More
Killer Bling
Felix | May 31st, 2012
Jonathan Johnson doesn’t want to live in a cheap plastic world. Even more, he condemns this world. So it immediately suggests itself, that Jonathan Johnson became a goldsmith. First he tried his talent as a joiner, carpenter and plasterer, but soon realized where his true profession was. His gallery is currently located in Hamburg, Germany. Read More
Classic Boyish Charm

Bruce Weber has done more to create the way that masculine beauty is portrayed in the media than any other artist. His ads, most famously the billboards and videos he’s produced for Calvin Klein and Abercrombie and Fitch since the mid 90’s draw their appeal from the ‘boy next door’ fantasy, itself borrowed wholesale from the girl next door pinup of the 60’s that Bunny Yaeger foisted upon suburban America.
Beauty in Death
Felix | May 30th, 2012
- Iris Schieferstein loves dead animals
Iris has a great affinity to animals. But not in the way where you have a bunch of cats, dogs and rabbits to take care of and give a warm home. No, Iris Schieferstein from Germany has a devotion to skinned animals. Some people have pizza and coke in their fridge, she has dead animals. With them she creates masks, shoes, sculptures and other art.
No Brainer
Andy | May 19th, 2012
Etienne de Crecy’s No Brain is a bit like a higher production version of those old rave videos I used to watch when I was skiving school and taking acid. It’s part refined color blocked Tronscape, i.e. lots of grids that turn 3D, part chunky fractal like shapes, and loads of strobing things that start off as lines and become new worlds, thing is it’s a lot more solid and refined than that all sounds, and mind-blowingly beautiful.
The Holy Beauty Project, by Rossina Bossio
Patricia | May 18th, 2012
The Holy Beauty Project is a satire about seduction, a multimedia creation that integrates a series of drawings, paintings, photographs and videos which parallels as much of a gravity in the seductive power of religious iconography, with the representation of women amid modern social canons created by publicity amongst modern models, celebrities and pop stars questioning, in all kinds of way, the principles of beauty and morality.

Venus from A$AP: Symbolizing All Possibilities
Paul | May 18th, 2012
Acronymn symbolizing all possibilities. That’s Rocky’s kushed out take on the meaning of his Harlem crew’s name. Apart from Rocky himself being way better looking than Ryan Gosling (what is up with RG’s nose?), Venus - another member of the click- is fast becoming a style icon in the rap fashion blog world.
The Eye of the Beholder
Patricia | May 17th, 2012
Bogota is characterized by having beautiful women, from all over the country, as well as from different colors and backgrounds. I confess I’ve been sitting for hours and days trying to identify an interest trend on beauty. The difference between being inspired with boundaries, and finding the muse without any type of limitation is enormous, but it finally hit me: I’m gonna write about Loly.
Being Real
Carol | May 13th, 2012
Gaby Amarantos is the biggest representative of the music style known as techno-brega. A blend of electro-pop and cheesy music made in Northern Brazil, techno-brega producers use makeshift studios to record versions of popular Brazilian songs and international music from the eighties, ignoring copyright concerns and distributing it in the streets in homemade CDs.
