surfing an altogether different wave of savoire faire cherie…

can we agree that madonna’s flick isn’t that bad after all? i’d go another few rounds in refining the script but let’s throw madge a bone, shall we? the costumes are epic – arianne phillips, naturally – and i particularly loved andrea riseborough in the role of wallis simpson. basically we all know the love story here: the man who gave up the throne for the woman he loved but what about what the woman gave up? i wouldn’t rush to see this but i definitely wouldn’t discount it and importantly, i’ll go another W.E viewing over ‘my week with marilyn’ any day.

um, can we start with viggo mortensen and how incomparably hot this man is? thumbs up for cronenberg and his savvy cast comprising michael fassbender and keira knightley, she who runs the gamut between sigmund freud and carl jung in the most psychologically-disturbing of ways.

molto grazie to marie claire for including me in their style file profile in their latest issue…

because nothing floats my boat these days as much as an awe-inspiring documentary on a great filmmaker. brought to us by the brilliant public broadcasting service in USA, do yourself a favor and set aside a solid four hours in your schedule ASAP to learn the ins and outs of woody allen. follow the links on PART ONE and PART TWO. hats off to the man behind my personal faves, “bullets over broadway” and “hannah and her sisters.”

all in a day’s work. PR mastermind in effect: michelle harper in the latest issue of japanese vogue sporting karen walker eyewear…
