The Girl From Ipanema - 1965

This 1965 video shows Brazilian singer/composer Tom Jobim singing his classic "Girl From Ipanema" alongside American pop singer Andy Williams. Besides the obvious retro charm of Andy Williams' "Lost In Space" sweater this is just a joy to watch and listen to. I love all these mellow Bossa Nova rhythms and being Brazilian-born myself it also brings back some great childhood flashbacks... Love it!

More Dita Von Teese @ Cointreau - The Performance

A good day is a Dita Von Teese day!
Savour the deliciously "Cointreauversial" burlesque bomshell performing her signature martini-glass-routine, specially edited for the Cointreau event in NYC last week. 500 party revelers sipped Cointreaupolitans and Cointreau Margaritas before being treated to the highlight of the night, the reveal of the "Be Cointreauversial Show". Strutting on stage in her crystal-encrusted costume, designed by Catherine D’Lish (made of 350,000 Swarovski crystals and weighing approximately 75 pounds) she posed and pranced before plunging into her giant martini glass.
I wish I had been there!!

Elvis Bath Robe

When we think of the "King" many of us remember the unforgettable white "American Eagle" jumpsuit designed by Gene Doucette that he famously wore during his Aloha from Hawaii music concert. The show was broadcast live via satellite around the world on January 14, 1973. Over 1 billion people around the world watched and it was the first concert of it's kind!
The Suit has become the preferred outfit of Elvis tribute acts and impersonators the world over. But If you're not a Elvis tribute act yet fancy stepping into the shoes of the King from time to time, the Elvis Bath Robe is a great compromise between Elvis style and practicality . Now you can emulate the King of Rock and Roll in this awesome dressing gown based on the design of the original 'American Eagle Jumpsuit'.
One size fits most - Elvis Presley Bath Robe - £49.95

Julianne Moore @ Vogue Paris May 2008

Ageless beauty Julianne Moore looking gorgeous on the cover of the new May 2008 issue of French Vogue. The actress has been around for a while but only seems to get more beautiful each time I see her. She has the type of career that has to be the envy of many Hollywood female stars as her bold choices set her way apart from the "In Style" crowd. These pictures are so sexy and clearly done for an European publication. When would you see an American Vogue cover looking this audacious? Never! The current issue of "our" Vogue brings Gwyneth Paltrow looking more like a bad wax-version of herself (they do love their Photoshop in the US) and that is quite bizarre to me and everyone else, wouldn't you say?
