Hey Bob ! Thank you for your greeting! Yes, I am a pofessional musician: an opera singer. For an opera performance, of course, I have to wear the costume of whatever character I'm portraying, assigned to me by the production. For concerts, I mostly have to conform to the official "tenor uniform...

Designer and model Michael Tintiuc displays his own creations for his Moldova-based firm Lirfons . The photographer is one of the label's co-owners, Olga Gershtoga . Furs are a major feature, inside linings sport nice patterned fabrics, and, what's even more uncommon in mens jackets, some garments f...

I love high heels. They do give a nice élan to your stride no matter whether you are male or female. Most of my shoes have heels, and some of them are quite high (several pairs have platforms as well). I have no problem walking in them. What I haven't done is trying "stilettos" like those ...

Very impressive, Uncle Add! Thank you! And I should point out that, since I sing that stuff myself for a living, I'm not easily impressed. Greg, the male soprano has a beautiful instrument indeed, but still has a lot to work on his technique, and his phrasing (and his Italian! he breathes in the mid...

Celebrated German/Swedish designer Karl Lagerfeld , head designer and creative director for the mythic Chanel label, styles and photographs the young Baptiste Giabiconi (his current favorite model, I read) for Purple Magazine ... in beautiful stilettos.

Oh, my, Pythos ! This is sooo cool! Almost a vice! I could spend hours on the computer just checking out the images! Lost of ideas for my own fashion designs! I loved the style. I had no idea... On the other hand, you were right: the music itself is not really remarkable. Thank you for the suggestio...

I find all that "Kie" scene you mention quite interesting. Can it be that you mentioned it before at some other "forum"? I haven't found much info on the Internet... (maybe I should try harder, actually). I'm not precisely a rock aficionado at all, but let's admit that some of ou...

Paul! I'd love to have met you when I was living in Chicago (actually one of the Northern suburbs). We could have got together for a "skirted-coffee". Anyways, we can still meet here, at the skirtcafe!

Take care,

Juan

Welcome Ivu! The site's wonderful, thank you!...I mean the pics and the design (I loved the "equalitarian" homepage). As for the written contents, well... I guess that's OK too, but my knowledge of Indonesian is still nonexistant. I'll have to work on that, butI'm afraid that won't be any ...

Since1982: I put your name in bold face, not because I'm quoting you, but because I'm addressing you. I place quotes between quotation marks or highlight them with the "quote" appliance provided. Sorry if that practice can be confusing. After a second (or rather a third) look, I realize y...

For the upcoming fall season, designer Raf Simons introduces zips, straps and other innovations into otherwise Dr. Martens conservative features, and (finally!) other colors besides black and brown. In this case, wonderful metallized tones of gold, silver and copper. simonsdrmartens2.jpg simonsdrmar...

So: "harem pants", huh? I wonder who wears them more often in a harem, the odalisks, the Kaliph... or the eunuchs :D The "stereotype" Arab trousers are very loose, extremely confortable, with a very low crotch depth. But all that, translated into "Western" design, as I ...
