Lui Antinous, American born X Super androgynous-male model turned performance artist, his transformation is somewhat of Cindy Sherman or Matthew Barney yet his highly stylized costume, make up, photography documentation were way beyond. By dealing with Greek myth, and of the gender ambiguity and Gothics, he has thought to achieve the perfect beauty of mankind through unvarnished study of the inhabitants of style for more than a decade, now launches his own Hand Bags line called "Lui Antinous", which is a culmination of his long time survey, and meant to be wearable for men & women.
The super luxury was recently nominated for the best designer award and HenriBendel is hosting 2days trunk show. For a long time the fashion industries have sought unisex models to represent perfect beauty, yet no one really is unisex =perfect beauty of male and female combined.
By wearing Lui Antinous, no matter if you were man or woman, you will be bound for the world of Greek Myth, and be spelled by the ultimate beauty & luxury and will soon notice in the change of your "attitude."

I love this kind of true history non fiction and Opera, also Philip Glass..
Opera is a composite art form. I am totally curious..
Philip Glass's landmark 1980 work, set to text from the ancient Sanskrit scripture the Bhagavad Gita, is a moving account of Mahatma Gandhi's formative experiences in South Africa, which transformed him into a great leader. For the opera’s Met premiere, director Phelim McDermott and designer Julian Crouch (artistic directors of London’s provocative Improbable theater company) use adventurous, improvisational puppetry, achieved by the Skills Ensemble, a brilliant team of aerialists, to illuminate this formative period in Gandhi’s life and work. Tenor Richard Croft (pictured) brings his crystalline timbre and musical finesse to Glass’s gently unfolding, chant-like music.

An amazing new young director, Jason Kohn who won the Sundance Film Festival last year, releases his DVD.
this is truly one of the best film I have ever seen. Studied under Errol Morris, the way he unfolds the realities of political corruption of Brazil is spellbounding. the story is academic, he mixed up story like an spider web, but it come together brilliantly in the end. and the use of the subject are lyrical, and every single of scenes of this film becomes cinematography.
the movie also won the cinematography and the best director at Sundance film festival in 2007. I went to Utah to support this film.
because this is an truly amazing film. the best of best. dvd is available april 8th, I actually have witnessed this film making many times, from the making, editing to the completion, and the finished piece is truly amazing, I am definitely buying this DVD.

It is now playing at Film forum in NY. and this is the poster made for it... I liked the illustration.
As a lover of Godard film and Bridit Bardot, this is one of my most favorite movies at all time.
Thirty years later, Godard's most romantic film is at once brilliant, romantic and genuinely tragic.
the defining moments of modernist filmmaking, dazzling, pop-art refurbished colors, the richest, complete and satisfying film which strikes the deepest human chords -- Comtempt-- the Romance, Art, film, Color, Sea, God, Woman, Tragidy, Music. Architecture ---it got everything perfect. Capri is beautiful.
