La Perla Pr�t � Porter Autunno / Inverno 2003

Nothing can get so cold that Erykah Badu wouldn't be able to warm it up. Bliss, someday i'd like to drown in her voice, her sensuality, her. Love of my Life video, past days satire.

Merry Christmas to you too, officer.

Recently in a bookstore: Tried, together with the as proficient and incisive valued owner of the shop, to find out what the hell Taschen is up to. Araki, a 34,5 x 50 cm sized coffee table book dedicated to the work of Araki Nobuyoshi. 636 pages, about 40 of them with nice layout, most of them are incidentally featured on the website, and the rest: Inducing pictures, but sordidly arranged, harschly blended and not even rudimentary use of the awesome format. So we stood there, for 20 minutes, next to bavarian madams browsing the collection of catholic engravings, ranting about the composition of tied up japanese school girls with skipping ropes dangling from their wet vaginas, oysters and orchids. First i would have even rather bought Leni Riefenstahl's book, but after the next 20 minutes i developed the fundamental feeling that i didn't want to see anything from Taschen anymore. Even the current Visionaire issues are better.
