Trailer for ‘Vicky Christina Barcelona’ - starring Javier Bardem, Patricia Clarkson, Penelope Cruz, Scarlett Johansson, and Rebecca Hall.

Vicky and Cristina, these two young Americans spend a summer in Spain and meet a flamboyant artist and his beautiful but insane ex-wife. Vicky is straight-laced and about to be married. Cristina is a sexually adventurous free spirit. When they all become amorously entangled, both comedic and harrowing results ensue.

I’m not really a fan of Woody Allen, and I dislike Penelope Cruz quite a bit. BUT, I have to say this movie looks like it’s going to be good. And I can’t forget the fact that there’s at least one kissing scene between Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz, which I can’t deny, sounds awesome.

I can’t decide yet if this video is too stupid or too clever. For now, I’ll say that most of it is pretty stupid, but entertaining, and the very last jump is definitely cool. And it really opened my eyes…there’s really more than one way to put on my jeans.

Talking about jeans and things I can’t explain, this ad for some jeans is really weird.

What do we have for today? I was thinking in sharing two beautiful portraits of two beautiful girls looking impressive in lingerie.

First we have a very sensual portrait by one amazing photographer. His work is absolutely amazing, and his fashion photography is stunning. If you go and visit his gallery, I’m sure something will happen to you: you won’t know which of his photos is the best, because absolutely all of them are amazing.

I don’t know what I love more about this photo: the girl, the pose, the hair, the light. I think the color is really cool though, giving some sort of classic polaroid feeling to it.

That photo would probably be enough for a post, but there’s another one that I also thought was really nice. It’s a portrait taken by a female photographer from Poland. Again, the expression, the beauty, everything about this photo is beautiful. It’s definitely another one of my favorites.

Don’t forget to go see the other great photos of this talented photographer.

There’s always something interesting to see. I think you can never get bored with the internet. I love looking for sites with awesome photography, and it’s really amazing how the discoveries never end. This time, I’m in love with David Bergman’s photography. I’d describe it as natural, simple, and deeply beautiful. As an example, here you have a portrait taken by this talented photographer.

Sites like this, and photos like this one are the ones that inspire me. I just hope I can keep finding cool photos like this day after day (and yeah, maybe one day, start uploading my own. I’m already looking for a new camera). True, this site is mostly focused in fashion photography, portraits, and the beauty of women, though in reality I love all kinds of photography. Maybe I should post other types of photos as well.

I’m fascinated by this picture. The girl is beautiful, the lighting is nice, and the emotion of the whole photo is strange and attractive. A very well done portrait, and there are more at this girl’s photo gallery. I’d say it’s full of beautiful photos.

On a similar subject, it’s amazing the strong feelings that a single photo can project. I love this one I found at flickr. To me, it expresses a feeling of solitude and pain. But there’s always the hope of finding love.

Bonus: Gimme A Kiss, the twins

The lovely Zooey Deschanel is BlackBook Magazine’s June-July Cover Girl, and I love it. She looks very cute with her love eyes, and kind of sexy in that swimsuit. I think this girl is absolutely gorgeous.

more photos of Zooey: looking sexy, the magazine cover, looking lovely

There was a time when Zooey Deschanel was Almost Famous. Since then, she’s gone from Elf-in good girl to surfing penguin all the while maintaining her status as indie cinema’s best and brightest no-brainer crush. Now she has teamed up with the “M’s” - that is, Night and Ward - to make a blockbuster movie and some lovely music, respectively. She’s, how you say, happening!

By the way, that movie (The Happening, with Mark Wahlberg) looks pretty interesting, and I hope it is, because I do want to see it. But even if it’s a bad movie, it’ll be nice to see Zooey Deschanel looking cute in it. Also, I need to watch Almost Famous. It’s been on my list forever, but I keep forgetting about it.

Oh, and I have to say that I don’t like her music too much, but I have to admit it’s pretty catchy (she’s got a lovely voice), and it’s way way way way way better to Scarlett Johansson’s lousy attempt at singing.

photo manipulation
your ghost…by FlyPi

I found this cool portrait at deviantart, as usual. It’s just that it’s full of amazing jewels such as the photo featured above, so I can’t avoid going there over and over.

What do I like about this photo? The glasses, the girl, the reflection. Actually, everything. It’s classified as a photo-manipulation though, so maybe the reflection on the sunglasses is photoshopped? Either way, I think it’s a really cool photo. If you think so, too, why don’t you buy a print of it? After you do so, check out more of FlyPi’s great photos, and remember: love does not exist.

This german photographer’s had an extensive career in the world of fashion and commercial photography. His photos have a very clean style, and her models look almost like dolls. I’d guess that he has a very good idea of what’s glamour and how to express that concept in each and every one of his photos.
