Wardrobe remix, fashion by the people for the people
Yesterday Chris, after spending fun time vacuum cleaning, discovered the wardrobe remix pool on flickr. I, like him, found some really interesting and nice looking pictures, but i think there’s more to it.
The essence behind it is maybe what will be changing the world of women fashion magazines where the clothes, and models, are often too far from reality.
What if wardrobe remix people would add infos about the clothes’s prices and the shop where they bought them? These girls are posting pictures of themselves wearing clothes that fit to their style and size, clothes in which they feel comfortable. They are humans publishing about fashion products, watched by millions of consumers around the world.
As a girl i know, and many of you i’m sure, that women’s fashion magazines are far from reality, selling images of skinny unhealthy bodies wearing highly priced clothes. Something about fantasy, nothing about reality.

Delirium, wrap up post
Whew - we’ve just posted the final vids online, so all our material is now there.
The *Underworld* experience - being under the stage during the live performance of Delirium on saturday nite - was absolutely fantastic. Both the staff, artists and the sights were amazing. There was so much to see and we’ve try to capture the best out of everything, so you can feel how it was for us to be there.
We’ve been rolling on chairs under the 1.5 meters underworld for about an hour, seeing the artists going and leaving the stage. We’ve seen them backstage before and after, we’ve been able to chat with them and feel the passion that lives into each one of them. This energy, the one coming out from artists doing what they love, can be felt miles away. Many of our vids include moments where i was only observing the artists, where no words were needed - their bodies just expressed everything i needed to know.
Beside all that, one of the most memorable moment was to see Adam backstage before the show, and in the underworld before he got on stage (see pictures and also in the underworld video).
In all, here is where you’ll find all our picts and vids:

Just got back from the show and woah, again i’ve been struck by the beauty of the performance. Pretty intense visually, emotionally and music wise: these wonderful layering/transparency effects of strong images constantly projected on giant screens, addressing contemporary social issues by putting us in the shoes of a lost soul, add to this some world, afro beat and samba music mixed with perfect pop songs - in all, a must see, maybe more than once.
I got the chance to see the performance twice, second time being tonight, so i was able to focus more on the details than the overall. Delirium is sold as being a ‘live’ event, focusing on the fact that musicians are playing on stage during most of the show, but seeing it a second time made me realize that it is also a really strong dance performance, dance being constantly present in this show.
I cant hide my excitement about tomorrow’s event blogging: we’ll be live, but this time from under the stage. If you are there, think of us, hidding there, trying to be as small as possible.

Cirque du Soleil blogging
We have been assigned by Cirque du Soleil as official bloggers for the Delirium shows in Montreal this next weekend at the Bell Center. With our equipment we’ll share our experience from front and backstage - we’ll even spend some time *under* the stage while the performance will go on this saturday nite. Being under the stage is gonna be something quite demanding, hey, this thing is like 4 feet high and there is so much going on in there. Claustrophobia? hope not. We’ll have our eyes wide open and we’ll try to explore this crazy universe where reality and fiction meet, bringing here the best of both worlds.
*
Le Cirque du Soleil nous désigne journalistes citoyens attitrés pour les représentations de Delirium à Montréal ayant lieu cette fin de semaine au Centre Bell. Nous aurons carte blanche ainsi que des accès prévilégiés à l’avant, l’arrière scène et cette fois ci nous passerons une partie de la soirée de samedi *sous* la scène, un monde de 4 pieds de haut où tout se joue. On se promènera donc dans cet univers où la réalité et le fantastique se mélangent - et on vous rapportera le meilleur des 2 mondes.
Télé-Stop
Télé-Stop offre de la vidéo amateur fait au qwebec. On passe du xxx à la critique d’arts visuel à la chronique littéraire. Cynisme et humour sont au rendez-vous, et sûrement des coins, des cons, et des gens que vous reconnaîtrez.
Coups de coeur : Les équarrisseurs, Le Chevalier du son, TPPCCC (tu peux pas comprendre, c’est culturel) et Le choix dans la date.
Gaia au cirque
J’ai pu m’entretenir avec Sasha, batteur du groupe montréalais Gaia, groupe choisi pour faire partie de la cuvée des musiciens de la tournée nord-américaine de Delirium.
Les membres de Gaia sont ensemble depuis 10 ans - un vieux couple - une unité avec laquelle le cirque a décidé de travailler pour conserver l’énergie du groupe dans son ensemble vu la place que prennent les musiciens dans cette production du cirque. Un beau challenge d’ailleurs pour les musiciens qui sont à l’avant scène tout au long du spectacle, un privilège pour eux que de pouvoir jouer devant de si grandes foules - une expérience que Sasha a qualifiée de *fantastique*.
Et pendant la tournée, est-ce que les membres du groupe ont assez d’énergie pour continuer à être créatifs en fin de journée et travailler sur leur propre matériel? Absolument qu’il me dit les yeux brillants, “on se montre nos nouvelles compos, on monte notre répertoire pour le prochain album“.
gaiamundo.com sera en ligne d’ici 2 semaines, et un blog est à venir.
This is an empty entry, it’s all yours. Use it.
Montreal from Beer to Whiskey
A great little guide to Montreal, with focus on bars, but with info about neighbourhoods, restos, things to do, and a brief history of drinking in Montreal. The kind of book I’d like if I were visiting Montreal.

Web 2.0 welcoming Marketing 2.0
Taken from MarketingProfs:
“(…) Web 2.0 is certainly not an ideal term, but it has tremendous value as an umbrella term that communicates the general nature of the more connected, more social, more expressive Web.
Having an overarching term that encompasses lots of hard to understand concepts is a challenge that marketers are having now in talking about the ‘new’ marketing paradigm of using blogs, viral media, conversational marketing, citizen media, co-creative business models, tagging, podcasts, vodcasts, micromedia, microcontent, Internet PR, and the list goes on…”
Here will come what we’ll call ‘new’ marketing - open, human, lively, transparent, honest and loyal - hopefully following the Cluetrain Manifesto 95 theses. I know, it will take time. I’m learning patience.
