Pirelli Calendar 2013

Every year for the Pirelli Calendar  a great photographer shoots some of the most beautiful models around the world in a breath taking location.

This time, for 2013, Steve Mc Curry, a real master of photo reportage ( think of that famous little blue eyed Afghanistan girl on the National Geographic cover) decided that good looking girls wasn't enough, so he picked beautiful women that are involved in environmental and humanistic charities.

And he done it in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, by many considered the world centre of cultures, races, economics....

A great work.

Got 'til It's Gone

Janet featuring Joni Mitchell & Q-Tip

I woke up this morning with this song in my head and really don't know why.

I grew up listening to Joni Mitchell thanks to my dad's great taste in music,

 but when in 1997 Janet Jackson came out with this version feat Joni and Q-Tip I was blown away.

Mainly I was in love with the video by director Mark Romanek.

 I watched it over and over and over again.

It makes you feel as if you are at a party in the '60s in Mali and both Malick Sidibe' and Seydou Keita are there taking pictures. Fantastic !

and a beautiful young Alek Wek comes along !

I love this track, it is on the loop and not only during the weekend.

Don't know about the rest of the album as I only listen to 'What I need'

The video is fabulous...ohh 'what I need ' is that denim shirt and all those bangles around her wrists...

(inspiration for a new series of posts).
