Sovereign Light Café


It's official, Keane great times are back. They used to be one of my favorite bands, but I didn't like Perfect Symmetry (2008), was too much modern for me. I'm not a music critic, however Strange Land (2012) is "back to confort zone". And I'm saying this in the good way, although all the reviews that I found claim that this is a "somewhat saddening step backwards".

The last single of Strange Land was released yesterday:

Florence + The Ballet


Ballet dancers and crazy red hair, Florence it is! The clip for the fifth single from her album Ceremonials was released yesterday. Spectrum is directed by the one and only David LaChapelle in collaboration with John Byrne. Phenomenal!

Met Ball 2012

Last night happened the opening of Prada and Schiaparelli exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Is my favorite red carpet, because Vogue and Anna Wintour are the hosts. All the celebrities can take more risks with their amazing haute couture dresses (and accessories, makeup, hairstyles...).

My favorites...

A Escolha II

*read the first "chapter" here



A pele pálida, de quem há muito tempo não passava um dia ao sol, o maxilar forte, o nariz reto, herdado de sua descendência grega, as sobrancelhas cerradas, que pesavam em sua expressão e caracterizavam tanto aquele rosto. Não sabia mais dizer se era bonito ou não, só sabia que era forte e que deveria desviar o olhar se quisesse manter sua decisão. Os olhos de César não a encaravam, entre eles um vinco de preocupação enquanto se concentrava em pegar o lenço do bolso para comprimir o ferimento.

Catarina voltou o olhar para baixo quando ele apertou sua mão e viu o tecido azul se colorindo com o vermelho. – Desculpe – disse. Sabia que não havia motivos para desculpar-se, mas era um hábito que não conseguia impedir, principalmente da maneira como se sentia agora, como se estivesse presa entre a realidade e o sonho, não conseguia se concentrar no que deveria estar fazendo ali.

Bastavam dois minutos ao lado de César para a verdade tomar conta de Catarina, ele era seu dono. Sim, essa era a descrição mais sucinta e ao mesmo tempo completa da relação ente os dois, César possuía o controle, sobre seu corpo, sua alma, seus sentimentos. E mesmo assim, com suas mãos unidas, sentada sobre o banco frio daquele carro, ela sabia que estava caindo novamente no limbo, onde a linha entre prazer e dor era tão tênue, praticamente inexistente.

O conflito de se sentir tão segura ao lado de um homem tão perigoso, tão cruel, depois de tudo que presenciou, escutou e descobriu. A raiva começava a se manifestar novamente, com aquele peso no coração tão característico. Mas, como se concentrar nela enquanto o desejo crescia na mesma proporção? Gostaria de poder se dividir em duas, em mil, para agüentar todas essas emoções tão devastadoras.

- Você está se perdendo em pensamentos novamente, olha para mim – falou César de repente. Talvez não tão de surpresa assim, ele deveria estar observando-a enquanto essa mistura de sentimentos tornava-se cada vez maior e mais irritante. – Não, não estou – mentiu Catarina. Você sabe exatamente tudo o que descobri, tudo o que aconteceu, e até agora não me explicou seus motivos, aliás, nem mesmo o porquê de eu estar aqui.

- Nenhum de nós dois precisa de motivos, você sabe, você sente isso Catarina. Não seja infantil – começou César. Não vejo razão para você ter tanto medo de estar aqui, sou eu, meu anjo.

Instagram


About a month ago Instagram became available for Android. Since then, I started to use, by publishing random stuff about my life. Some of the users, mostly Iphone users, complained about the popularization of Instagram... What I think is, if you don't like the pictures, don't follow the person who post that kind of thing.
