eating tasty air


"Slim Chips are good and they contain no calories. Instead of getting fat you can now eat paper with different flavors. It's like eating tasty air. The Slim Chips are made out of edible paper and pure organic tastes." That's what you can read on the bag

we make history

You know you're old when your personal references become historical icons for others, by Mathieu Dionne. ( ps: the words chocolate and mixtape put together make me think of you Laurette).

costumes 1





When I think of something fancy to wear ( other than the little black dress) what comes to my mind is all kinds of traditional clothing from around the world, women in richly embroided layers of fine fabric wearing all the jewelry they own.... these are from Sahara desert, Syria and Israel. The lady with her little boy on her head is sporting an outfit i could totally slip into right now, floral patterns fitted top high waist...

chirp

This is a shout out to my bird Ignacio. I have joint custody of him and at the moment he's with his other owner, my 6 year old cousin.
Ignacio, I miss your crazy chirping but i don't miss your cage that you can get dirty all over again within a few hours.

On the very top of the Cité Chaillot, facing the Eiffel Tower, there is an apartment that the architect of this massive monument kept for himself. Now it's the ELLE Déco suite, and it is decorated by famous fashion designers, one at a time. Right now the suite is 'dressed' by Jean Paul Gautier ... couldn't you have guessed?

why don't you love me when i make me so lovable




Beautiful images of Beyonce's "why don't you love me". The retro lighting, the fuzziness, B as a bored abandoned stay-at-home wife, the references.... i don't know how much i like the song, but the video speaks to me.

casual dining


Jethro is my very own Jamie Oliver, he's always talking about how vinegar balances out this and that ( just about everything according to him), about thyme and rosemary....
Yesterday he invited me for dinner and as expected he made something delicious, fresh yet traditional:
oven baked salmon with blanched asparagus and their hollandaise sauce
a side dish of salad with just the right amount of seasoning
mini meringues with balsamic vinegar (again) strawberries

first sunday of the month

It felt so good being inside the Centre George Pompidou when looking out the glass façade and seeing the rain pouring and that line! Thanks to my yearly pass i skipped right to the very front. In Paris every first Sunday of the month all museums are free, and even though it makes going to the museum a real competition and complete hassle, i have to admit i'm proud of my fellow parisians when i see them queuing for hours to suck up a bit of culture.

google mail

This is a great idea. It came straight out of the brain of 2 students at the Industrial Design section of the Syracuse University. Basically you have on your envelope the google map location of the person who sent and will receive the letter. It's experimental at the moment.

new talking head

the talking head of the month is a head bobbin' robot girl ( check out the flower shaped banana pancakes)
