Elene Melnik by Kenneth Cappello for Flair
I've always loved the works of Kenneth Cappello because of my personal affection of overexposed pictures.I really feel inspired looking at the works of Kenneth Cappello and Juergen Teller both who use overexposure so well and create their own personal aesthetics.That being said I'm not a fan of a "perfect" picture I'd rather my pictures too bright than too normal,again this is a matter of taste.I'd say though 16pages of overexposed pictures might be a lil bit too much and this editorial isn't the best from Kenneth Cappello also

music:Trailer Trash Tracys-Candy Girl
just showing a lil bit of love for some lo-fi independent bands,lo-fi usually refer to the DIY technique these bands used to record their songs which results in a "low quality" sound of the recorded material.I don't really know how to describe but then words arent sufficient when it comes to music so just take a listen.I love lo-fi bands cause they've this sort of really vintage carefree feel.Just my personal affection for art that are supposedly "low quality" to me theyre beautiful and no doubt about it unique in their own way.
music:Korean Hip-Hop is pretty good.Drunken Tiger and Dynamic Duo
I love Drunken Tiger,they're so real as in hip hop sense of real.Real in a sense of they're not trying to be hip-hop they are hip hop.Don't mean to offend any Kpop fans but compared to this I think G-Dragon can't rap.Their album "Feel Ghood Music" is one of my favourite hip hop album in a while,reminds me of the time when I first discovered m-flo (japanese hip hop group which I am a big fan of)
I do prefer Drunken Tiger in overall but Dynamic Duo is pretty awesome too

This Ed further convinced me that Steven Meisel is a genius in fashion photography
It's fair to say Steven Meisel is the top fashion photographer now,he shoots most of the big campaign every season,in house photographer for Vogue Italia and editorials like these (for Vogue Italia Oct 2009) only make it fair.I strong believe that nobody can shoot a concept like steven meisel does,the theme,colour,setting,styling,tone,exposure,composition and mood of this ed just match amazingly together (for me atleast).His photos are always so unique and special too,the mood that he captures really isnt achievable by anyone,and the concept he comes up with I'm pretty sure no1 else can come up with except Meisel himself.

Finally I watched Inglorious Basterds,love Tarantino
Finally I got to watch Inglorious Basterds yesterday thanks to my country which I've no idea why took so long to show a Tarantino movie after it's released.It's also my very first Tarantino movie in the cinema.I personally loved the movie,at parts yea it might get abit dry and draggy but then with Tarantino there's always something interesting whether its the random-ness or the setting or the visual effects or the soundtrack or the interesting dialogues or the actions or the unpredictable plot and sequences.Tarantino also have the ability to make movies that at times might get boring but in the end you'd still walk out the cinema feeling so good about it (for me atleast),Kill Bill for example start of it almost bored me out but in the end it turned out to be one of my favourite movie of all time now I need to rewatch "Pulp Fiction" (didn't like it the first time) and get the DVD for "Reservoir Dogs".Aside from the director I also love the acting of Christoph Waltz,he played Lans Handa and that to me is the most memorable character of this movie.He played the character with such intelligence and made evil looks so annoying but charming at the same time.Rightfully so he won the Best Actor Award for this role in Cannes this year,hollywood needs to cast him more in movies cause I'd certainly watch his movies.

Perfect Combination:Viktor & Rolf SS 2010 Runway Show Accompanied by performance from Roisin Murphy
I checked out these videos because of Roisin Murphy I'm a big fan,shes my favourite electronica artist and to my surprise I actually love Viktor & Rolf's designs.Very clean and still edgy but in a way contemporary and classy okay I don't really know the words to describe but yea I love their designs here.
I love Sasha Pivovarova,for Vogue Nippon Dec 2009,Prada Infusion D'Iris perfume,an old editorial from Vogue Russia April 2009
Fun facts bout Sasha,she intended to become an artist (drawing artisit not singing celebrity type) which I think is really cool cause I love women who are artistic.Got into modelling by chance which kind of they all are and she's lucky for that chance cause shes certainly top of the crowd right now.She's definitely my favourite,such sweet face.
