Saturdance!!!

Honestly my loves..... as critics call him, "the next Baryshnikov" Ivan Vasiliev cannot be human. A person that good looking, sweet, talented, hot and adorable at the same time? PUH-LEASE!

His performance is extremely intense, very passionate and with impeccable technique.... really something to see..

Currently performing with theMikhaylovsky Theatre in St Petersburg, since Dec 2011... He was previously a principal dancer with the Bolshoi Ballet. 

.......... he is the fiancee of Natalia Osipova, one of the most amazing ballerinas of our day, Natalia will be featured here next week ;) Vasiliev and Osipova left the Bolshoi together when they both moved to the Mikhailovsky.

This gave me goosebumps... read The Boy who can Fly.... {by the telegraph.co.uk}

"Such special artists come along only once in a generation. And for the Bolshoi, long expected to produce superheroes, it's been almost 20 years since Irek Mukhamedov departed for London, the last iconic Spartacus.

But now, here's Ivan. A schoolboy, still growing, who loves poetry and dogs, who arrived in Moscow from faraway Minsk last autumn aged 17 without a shred of aristocratic Bolshoi training, but who was catapulted instantly into the front ranks of the Bolshoi Ballet's attractions, dancing men's roles like a man, causing crackles of excitement among veteran watchers - a talent in a lifetime."

Enjoy Saturdance!!!!!!!!!

Man Made

The other day I mentioned how color is my drug... well, it's no surprise I am HEAD over HEELS for this blog I found "for men" which is totally, TOTALLY rad and beyond.

Man Made DIY has a wednesday feature called BLOW MY MINDSDAY and PUh-Lease! my mind has been blown for real.

Like this fractal mineral art which is an actual geological find. Yes people, as in, MADE BY NATURE, colors and all.

Crazy cool right?

Now, there was this other post onThe Au Vieux Panier hotel in Marseille, France that has but five rooms total, but each are redesigned and reconfigured every year by internationally recognized artists and designers. This space elow was conceptualized by famous street artist Tilt, who covered half the room in colorful graffiti while leaving the other half an austere white. GENIUS. Flippin' genius.

yay? or nay?

Artsy Vs. Vintage

I think I know which one will win ;)

So tell me.... what would you do with that empty wall?

1.- Cover it with Vintage treasures, antique pictures and flea-market finds?
2.- Bring out your artistic-self?

After much careful consideration I surprised myself by deciding I'd go for the Artsy wall!!!

A tribute to the classics: The Barcelona Chair

My favorite chair of all times could be the Swan. And I will definitely pay tribute to that beauty very soon. But if I had to pick another favorite it would {no doubt} be the Knoll Barcelona Chair.

Created by genius Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for the 1929 Barcelona Exposition... "the Barcelona chair features the pure compositional structure that now epitomizes Modern architecture"

{no kidding!}

The child's Barcelona chair and stool are 85% scale of the original!

Exclusive manufacturing and sales rights accorded to Knoll by the designer in 1953 AND
KnollStudio logo and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's signature stamped into the frame of each piece.

Interested???

The Stainless steel Beauty will set you back about $6907
While the Child Chair another $3840

YIKES! But totally worth it {if you ask me}

Why you asked? Because, this chair holds the Museum of Modern Art 1977 Award. That's why.


Check out Knoll you guys!!!

Totally note-worthy.... La Danse

Darlings! this is exciting and thrilling beyond words!...

“La Danse: The Paris Opera Ballet,” opened this week, and according to reviewer A.O. Scott of The New York Times, “a feast for ballet lovers” and “one of the finest dance films ever made.” So hurry over to THE ERRANT AESTHETE, for a full and wonderful article (as usual!) on this masterpiece.

“What a thrilling week for dance onscreen.A portrait of one of theworld’s great companiesby one of theworld’s great vérité documentarians.

LA DANSE captures a living ecosystem.Beyond offering the privilegeof watching gorgeously photographed scenesfrom seven balletsclassically smooth and atonally jarring,LA DANSE is an anatomy.It’s about flesh and bone and sinew,about sublimity on Earth.”
David Edelstein, New York

Having been a balerina myself, and having a huge crush on the Paris Opera Ballet, this is grand. Certainly much anticipated and highly coveted. Me LIKEY!!!!

Interactive Fun!

When you have kids, it can't be all clean and perfect so, always have kid's furniture around, make THEM feel at home TOO!

By the way, your kid's art can be later framed and used to dress up one of the walls in the family room or the study, I say we let them participate...
