South African rap-rave group Die Antwoord have released the official music video for the track “Cookie Thumper.” Directed by Ninja, the video centers around Yo-Landi Vi$$er’s character who has a crush on a gangster recently released from prison. The track comes off of Die Antwoord’s upcoming album Donker Mag set to be released in February 2014.
The duo will be going on the European Blonde All Over tour and will also start filming their first feature film with director Neill Blomkamp - they'll be playing themselves in the sci-fi comedy, "Chappie". I can't wait!

Girls on Film

I've done this photoshoot quite a while ago but only now I am blogging it. I tried to capture the female essence at its rawest, in the beach and in the woods. Instead of using a proper photographic filter, I covered the camera lense with my sunglasses for a warmer tone and I really liked how these pictures came out. I know the title is as cliché as it gets but you know, gotta love Duran Duran!

Esta sessão fotográfica não é assim tão recente mas só agora a partilho no blog. Eu tentei captar a essência feminina revestida a cru, na praia e em zonas arborizadas. Em vez de utilizar um filtro fotográfico profissional e adequado, muni-me  dos meus óculos de sol, conferindo um tom mais quente (diria morno, vá) às imagens, e gostei bastante do resultado final. Bem sei que o título é cliché até dizer chega mas, quem é que não gosta de Duran Duran?

Letters from Vincent van Gogh to his brother, Theo.

Welcome to The Emotionary! - Words that don't exist for feelings that do.

47-year-old Helena Bonham Carter looks ravishing in here! Vogue UK by Mert & Marcus, July 2013.

A very ironic creation indeed, this one.

I had to post this. How could I not? Literature, bitch!

This is one heartbreaking project (a good number of these people were basically abandoned by their families, and their relatives showed very little interest in receiving their things after they died.) - From the 1910s through the 1960s, many patients at the Willard Asylum for the Chronic Insane left suitcases behind when they passed away. The abandoned suitcases reveal the private lives of the patients. These haunting, meaningful photos were taken by Jon Crispin.

Baby bats awwwwww!!!

Jennifer Madden's illustrations are beyond pretty!

I wonder why do these suitcases remind me of Dexter Morgan...

Typewriters galore!

Ezra Miller, Ben Whishaw & Christoph Waltz for Prada FW13

Ladies, can you handle this trio? This menswear campaign, lensed by British photographer David Sims, displays these three creatures as Prada's leading men. The Italian Fashion Lordship got inspired by 1960's New Wave cinema with its simple but elegant and classic cuts. I love these three actors, they are beyond brilliant. Ezra Miller has that enfant terrible charisma, exotic facial features and an enigmatic look in his eyes - if you've seen We Need To Talk About Kevin, you'll know I mean. Ben Whishaw is the carefree, delicate British boy; I love his accent and in my head, I'll always picture him as the eternal Sebastian Flyte in the recent version of Brideshead Revisited. Last but not least, Oscar winner Christoph Waltz looks charming in his European coolness - an unpretensious and effortless sophistication that makes this man even more magnetic.

Algo me diz que o mulherio entrará em delírio com este post. Eis a mais recente campanha publicitária de menswear da Prada, pela objectiva do fotógrafo Britânico David Sims, protagonizado por estas três criaturas, em registos sóbrios e misteriosos. É evidente a influência do cinema New Wave dos anos 60, que claramente inspirou esta campanha. Adoro este três actores, são mais que brilhantes. Ezra Miller tem aquele carisma de enfant terrible, feições exóticas e um olhar enigmático - se viram o We Need to Talk About Kevin, saberão ao que me refiro. Ben Whishaw é a personificação delicada e descontraída do rapaz Britânico e fleumático; tem um sotaque adorável e na minha cabeça, ficará para sempre como o eterno Sebastian Flyte na mais recente verssão de Brideshead Revisited. Por último, o já galardoado Christoph Waltz apresenta o seu charme Europeu ultra cool - despretensiosamente sofisticado, sendo este o segredo do seu magnetismo.

The collection is presented by each actor in a different fashion: while the character played by Christoph Waltz evokes a sense of studied elegance, Ben Whishaw toys with a more unconventional and spontaneous appeal while Ezra Miller charms with his aura of youthful mystery. Source: Vogue Italia

My PHOTO Magazine Collection

My father collected so many editions of PHOTO magazine through the 1980's that I couldn't resist showing them off! I absolutely cherish this magazine issues, and the covers are to die for, absolutely stunning. I guess that my snapshot obsession was shaped by these photography magazine's content since I was a little kid. I didn't understand a word of French but managed to leaf through passionately enough. Guy Bourdin, new romantic make-up, celebrities going wild, bizarre fetishism, tanned beach babes in neon swimwear, gorillas in the jungle... I mean, even the blondes in the booze & cigs ads were visually appealing to me. As I feel unable to sell them to mag hoarders, I keep on piling them up as if it's part of my bedroom decoration.

O meu pai coleccionou tantas edições da revista PHOTO durante os anos 80, que eu nem consegui resistir a exibi-las! Tenho por estas revistas uma grande estima, e as capas são de morrer, sempre fantásticas. Julgo que a minha obsessão fotográfica foi sendo moldada pelo conteúdo desta revista desde tenra idade. Não percebia puto de Francês mas lá insistia em folhear apaixonadamente a revista. Guy Bourdin, maquilhagem new romantic, celebridades selvagens, fetiches bizarros, gajas boas bronzeadas na praia vestidas em tons néon, gorilas na selva... Epá, até as loiras da publicidade às espirituosas e tabaco eu achava visualmente marcantes e apelativas. Como me recuso piamente a vendê-las a potenciais coleccionadores, mantenho-as empilhadas como que fazendo parte da decoração do meu quarto.

Late night snack: Chicken Nuggets

Nuggets are one of my top late night snacks. Quick, easy, always evoke my childhood with its chicken taste and starfish shapes. This is what I eat when I'm not in the cook mood.

What about you?

Nuggets de frango são o meu snack nocturno de eleição. Rápidos, fáceis, lembram-me sempre a minha infância com o sabor a carne de aves e as formas de estrelas do mar.

É isto, portanto, que eu enfardo quando não me apetece cozinhar. E vocês?
