Most of arguments between me and Chris are about silence – there’s much happening inside my head but i do not need to communicate all of it live to another human being, but Chris does. Too many ideas and thought, and i have only 2 ears and one head to assimilate all this information, this… Continue reading Boyfriend remote control TM

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… Continue reading Wardrobe remix, fashion by the people for the people

Delirium front stage post
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… Continue reading Delirium front stage post
