Last hommage to Yves Saint Laurent

Christie s in Paris is auctioning the entire Saint Laurent/Berge collection this week.Many wonderfull pieces of Art will change owner.For me the piece the resistance is the Mondriaan painting.But also the bronze statues from the chinese emperor s winter palace are magnificent.It s sad to see such a great collection of Art being sold but the good thing is all the revenue will go to AIDS research projects.Have a look yourself at Christie s website and see for yourself that things of beauty are a joy forever.

San Fransisco

Still jet lagged and feeling lazy i have returned home from a work trip to SFrisco.Just a few days lay over but enough time to experience the wonders of that magical city on the Bay.Gosh how i luv this city.It s totally un-american in its city plan and most of all the people,they are sooo relaxed.

I got on a cable car and went to Fishermen s warf.A bit touristic but i like to watch the Golden Gate bridge and the best view is around there.

In evening i went to Castro district with a fellow gay collegue.And we certainly had a good time overthere.I was waiting at the traffic lights and handsome light chocolate coloured guy crossed the street from opposite site.We exchanged glances but i couldnt help to ve a peak over my shoulder and he was doing the same lol!He gave me a big smile and kept on looking.But then my collegue urged me to hurry ..he didnt want us to be late for our dinner reservation ...mmmm...geeh...bad luck....Why this kind of thing always happens when its NOT convenient.
Anyway after a nice dinner we had a few drinks in the local gay scene.But we were sooo tired that we left for hotel at 9.30pm already

But for sure i slept like a baby but with a smile on my face thinking about mr.Chocolate....you made my day!

Santa Maria Novella

The smell of a lazy warm afternoon in Firenze...A range of perfumes ,soaps and shampoos made with herbs that grow in the hills of Florence.Each product has its own story.For example the Acqua della Regina perfume was made originally around 1725 for the notorious Catherine de Medici,Queen of France.Mind you these perfumes sell like crazy so hurry and pick up one of these authentic and hot products(available in Antwerps,Belgium and Italy.Officina Profuma Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella)

Momataro jeans

If you get wet dreams of designer jeans this will probably satisfy all your needs.Momataro handmade to order jeans from Japan.It will set you back 2000 euro but for sure you will have a unique piece.Mind you ,it will take 6 months to get ready as its completely handmade.Only few shops in major cities around the world sell this brand(in Amsterdam, Tenue de Nimes shop at Elandsgracht)

Dame Edna

Hilarious!Two Dame s together in a wonderfull witty show.Dame E you are simply the best comedian and Dame S YOU are still a shiny star

Marlene

Marlene, good old Marlene how we still miss you.I remember my aunt took me to see one of your last concerts.You were in your seventies already at that time but somehow u could keep up the illusion of eternal youth.The eternal Blue Angel...Like the quote from Billy Wilder s movie"Fedora"; no one of us managed to keep young forever...except Marlene...

At the start of every year i always prepare a wishlist of goodies i need to get this year...mind you...i m talking about must haves... the bear necessities of life i m talking about!So here we go:

1. Cartier Santos Dumont watch.i desperately need this watch in rose gold
   
   
   
   

2.Hermes brown canvas large tote.to keep all my goodies safe and stored in a yummy bag

3.Vuitton Naxos messenger spring/summer collection 2009

4.Osmanthe Yunnan perfume by Hermes

Finally something i dont have to starve for.the most sensual smell i ever encountered....

Not much too ask for dont you agree.But i fear a meltdown of my credit card this year hehe

LV

Finally a new blog update.I have been busy lately and outside the country.It s a relief though to be home again in Amsterdam. As i grow older i seem to dislike winters more and more..and today its bitterly cold overhere.So i spent my time reading blogs on net, especially fashion blogs .I m interested in fashion and enjoy watching new trends.Today is launch of Stephen Sprouse line for Louis Vuitton.Not really my cup of tea as i find the design too outdated and somehow it doesnt match with the classic features of the vuitton bags and image.But i heard there s a big interest in Asia for this design and as nowadays asian custommers are the biggest spenders at LV i m sure they will sell well(although its not a scence of good taste if you ask me hehe).I totally am hooked on Hermes designs,quality and nice design.Last week was the Hermes sale in Paris, too bad i couldnt be there.But bright side was it saved me lot of money hehe.I will wait till summer sale and spend few days in Paris as well.Something to look forward!
