In such a web society, survived magazine would be so less. Truly creative magazine only can do it. I sometimes talk with my friend and someone who met for a long time about " what is your favorite magazine recently? ". I've been reading so much magazines and I have so many magazines to recommend, something like " metal magazine " " indie magazine " " gentle woman " " encens " " cereal magazine ". And the best one about among them is " FANTASTIC MAN " for me as male. Fulfilling contents, sophisticated layering. The first time I started to read this magazine was no 7 which was covered with Tom Ford. Yes, I was totally mode fashion lover and that's was the reason to connect with this. And masculinity was the notion and I especially hooked on at that time. I feel that so happy to know this magazine at that time. Even nowadays, I'm still reading this magazine. You know, that's the reason of dialog uselessness.

Dior homme 2015-2016 Hiver

Are you enjoying Paris Fashion Week? I would love to describe about Dior homme this time. Needless to say, it's my favorite brand since Hedi's era. I would hold back to say about collection as clothes. Because it's not my business. Lots of magazine and web site will do soon. What I want to convey everyone is about this installation. Not to mention a collection, these expression as installation also noteworthy point of Dior homme in every season. Also, to use an original soundtrack can say to traditional method for dior homme anymore. Dior homme had been using an original sound track since Hedi Slimane, and it was his idea firstly. And it naturally became to special way only for Dior homme. So, this time, the soundtrack in 2015 Hiver was track by Koudlam, and the name of track is Landsc Apes. In fact, this track was used for Chanel 2014 Autumn Winter Couture before. But this track admirably suited with collection. That's cause that it was expressed in orchestra style, furthermore in with straight line. Dior homme always never forget the perfectibility of aesthetics on any part of it. Even the invisibility area kind of like ideology and philosophy. In fact, early collection by Kris Van Assche was lil bit swayed between philosophy of Hedi Slimane and Monsieur Christian Dior and Kris himself. But as you can see, he will never be unswerving anymore. Perhaps, the season he decided to do his own way and the season it has been established in his mind was 2010S/S. And the point season when it became to immobile was 2012S/S. There was no longer any ambivalence in that show. Nowadays, we surely can see the very confidential face of Kris. Dior homme is not just fashion maison anymore. It can be said with one built up philosopher.

I watched one footage recently. It was such as thing which human killed an elephant who got mad to rage from circus stage. It was not first time to watch it for me. But, this time was quite changed on how to accepting of it. Its elephant was wearing a cowl which was decorated with yellow star mark based on red cloth fabric. Firstly, that female elephant suddenly changed the reaction against a wild animal trainer. She stomped two of them, afterward, she run out to outside and she attacked some people who was on the road in the same way. And she continued to run away several tens of meters. And eventually She was shot by people. and unfortunately it was not tranquilizer gun. she died while lying on the road beside of the police car. I am the humanist. Honestly. But, when I watched this, my notion and heart was clearly in the side of elephant. I believe and don't doubt in human's power in the positive meaning. But, like such a case, if human wasn't exist, this elephant will never been put on such a cowl and suffer such a tragedy. I love the nature and animal and plant, even the insect ( tbh, I'm lil bit weak on it! lol), but I don't wanna give human's meaningful resistance up as human. But by this case, I lil bit became that whether I am surely humanist or naturalist. After all, human doesn't know what they are.

One of my favorite photographer Robert Adams captured this. His career is well-know as a photographer for sprawling landscape in picturesque minimal style. What I personally think in his photography is to feel some effusive way to capture. I can only say this, when you feel something impressive from the picture, that's the time you have same meaning and feeling with it.

I have no idea whether you noticed in this title or not. If you are the person who noticed, you are undoubtedly fervent fan of Patti Smith. Yes, I quoted this title from one song named " The Jackson Song " which recored in the album of " Dream of Life " by her. This song was made for her son. And in that end of lyrics, this words are sung with her gently and filled maternal love voice. When lost your mind and when you no longer know what is the things to believe, I recommend this song. Perhaps, you can change the mind even as a little.

There is one too interesting phenomenon. Dew condensation in the room bring the black mould out. This phenomenon is so similar with that when people look back too much retrospection, black mould naturally and gradually starts to erode their spirits. And as you specifically recognized, an innumerable tears is insidiously happening at inside of your mind. As if like a dew condensation. Reproduction of your mind is existing anywhere around you.

Occasionally, people has been hoping to get a wing to fly this sky. But, when stand on the point to try it, they feel tremendous fear for the first time. And it can't be avoided. The wing for human is that hands needless to say. And the way to demolish it is also that hands.

These pegion's house is on the hand of at the huge bronze statue of Kobodaishi'hand. lol
