NET-ROMANTICS

Friday, September 25, 2015

KIDS VS COMMERCE

Friday, July 24, 2015

Anyone with kids will relate to children’s direct, uninhibited and vivid response to the world as a refreshing change of view – funny at times, surprising at others, but always incredibly precious to see a reaction unfettered by intellectual reasoning. So Yolanda Domingez‘ genius project Ninos versus Moda to ask a series of 8-year-olds to [...]

PRINT NOSTALGIA 02

Tuesday, July 7, 2015

PENDULUM

Monday, March 16, 2015

Once BDSM was seen as a taboo as in the 1999 film 8 mm with Nicholas Cage. One wonders when and why it became a fashion in the mainstream culture.
