Vid of the Day - Karl Lagerfeld's Remember Now

Did you know that Karl Lagerfeld does films too?

It's full of beautiful people and bold fashion choices, but I'm not completely sold. 

What do you think?

Inception Star - Marion Cotillard

These photos from the August issue of Interview Magazine are too breathtaking not to share. A lot of editorials have been catching my eye lately.
Marion is to die for. Who has seen Inception?

Photographer: Mikael Jansson

Stylist: Karl Templer

Rosemarie Fiore

NY artist Rosemarie Fiore captured the fiery beauty of our Independence Day with her Pyrotechnics collection. These pieces of art were made by setting off and containing live fireworks on a piece of cardboard. What a creative idea. To me, they are simultaneously chaotic and composed.

Gael Garcia Flaunts It

Gael Garcia Bernal is looking incredible in Flaunt Magazine's 98th issue.

He is definitely on my list of most beautiful male actors.

Meryl On My Mind

"We need art as much as we need good works. You need it like food. You need it for inspiration, to keep going on the days that you're low. We need each other in that way." 

-Meryl Streep

Oh, Meryl. How is it that you keep on getting more beautiful with age? Am I alone in thinking that she was robbed at the Oscar's this year? What's your favorite Meryl movie? I'd have to say mine is a tie between Adaptation and Doubt. And I completely agree that art is what keeps me going day after day.

The One?

Why hello there, blogosphere.

I've missed you. 
Many important things have been requiring my full attention, but my extensive hiatus is over!
What have you all been doing? 
A life update is due, but first this thought...

I was recently flipping through photos on my LIFE iphone app and came across Mad Men's January Jones in her 2009 Emmy dress. My jaw dropped. A little known fact about me is that I harbor a hatred towards wedding dresses, or any white dress that resembles them. Most of them strike me as tacky, and even repulsive, but this one is different. It was love at first sight. I adore the art deco bodice and the light, flowing train. Dare I say, if and when the time comes, that I'd be willing to walk down the isle in something like this Atelier Versace gown? 

Hope you've been well! It's good to be back!

I've been aloof...

Life has been busy, and I've been neglectful. I promise that once I get settled, my blog posts will pick up again.

Meanwhile, a bit of news: I've been composing the score for my friend's thesis film, Temptation. I applaud him for taking on the arduous task of pursuing a master's degree in film. Visit the site for a synopsis, bios, and possible premiere dates.

More news to come!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the beautiful mothers out there! I love you, mom!

By the way, how much do you love that stroller?

Vid of the Day- Embrace Life

A British road safety ad done right.

Elvis & Sofia

Elvis Presley and Sofia Loren... this duo makes me swoon. These photos were supposedly taken just moments after they met. How natural they look together.

Anyway, I apologize for my absence. Life is busy, busy, busy. Expect a Nashville update in the near future.

Meanwhile, please check out my blog roll. Right now it's bear bones, just friends and favorites. I'm in the process of building it, so email me if you want to be added! theredtopaz@gmail.com
