Happy new year everyone! Mine started with a minor car crash, hope yours is sliding out a bit better.
Here´s an oldie but a goodie to start 2011 with. White Stripes and Blue Orchid.
And I so want those shoes. The white heels. I can already picture myself wearing those while cleaning the floor. (And let´s leave the story at that. )
Floria Sigismondi makes beautiful imagery in her videos, but darned it, the woman has a fetish over impossible shoes on ladies. I guess we all have our kinks.
Tickets for a Steve Martin -event in Miami were refunded . Audience criticized him of being too boring. Or more diplomatically :"the event did not meet the standard of excellence people have come to expect".
Evolutionary psychologist claims that there is scientific data to back up claims on why beautiful people tend to produce more daughters
"I really don´t think it´s about getting laid for him". Vincent Cassel talks about the director of his new hyped-up movie "The Black Swan"
Writer Anne Rice thinks the romance-aspect of "Twilight" is genius, yet placing the vampires on high school is less so...!
PJ Harvey has announced a new album coming up. Hopefully it is better than her last one. Some people argue that she has not produced anything as brilliant as "Rid of Me" in 1993

Apparently mercury turns wetland birds into homosexuals . This will lead to interesting questions about the safety of residue chemicals/metals in our drinking water...
Jack White is not happy about his limited-edition recording releases being sold for hundreds of dollars above their original selling price
It is tough trying to make it out from the shadows of a more famous spouse. Just ask Simone de Beauvoir. Accomplished writer and philosopher on her own right, but forever known as "that Sartre´s woman".
Karen Elson is by no means without her own merits. Internationally known model and a founding member of a New York- based political cabaret troupe The Citizens Band, she has by far resisted the urge to just lay back and stand by her man. After all, Jack White can surely stay busy for the both of them. And two little kids in the life can be, well, draining to the best of us.
Despite all the expected comparisons to her husband and to the league of other singer-songwriters out there, she recorded an album. The Ghost Who Walks. And it is pretty darned good. Here is a sample:
That red hair. What I would not give to get it. And Jack White too, while we´re at it.
