And he got away with the girls in the back

editorial, music
Today I saw 3 times the Cobrastarship video feat. Leighton Meester and it has become my new favorite song. The lyric is very catchy and makes me wanna go out dancing.

Sorry for not updating the blog earlier but I was too busy studying, trying to fix the internet at home (which did not work) and finishing the new issue of Fringe Indie Magazine that turns out to be our anniversary. Yes, it’s been one year since we started, and we are more than happy with the responses we had.
The issue is almost ready, it lacks the finishing touches but we already have the cover shot and the photoshoot for our exclusive anniversary issue by the fantastic Argentinian photographer: María Victoria Leites. I leave you a sneak peak, but wait until August 1st to see more.

Lily Collins inspired Snapshots

editor, editorial, fashion, fringe, fringe magazine



These photos were taken for the new issue of Fringe Indie Magazine that will be our anniversary. The inspiring muse of the session was Lily Collins with prominent eyebrows and a subtle, youthful makeup. I still have not decided which of the 3 I’m going to use, any suggestions?.
For now I leave you with the polaroids Lily Collins that gave rise to the session:

Tuesday was a disastrous day in Argentina. A polar cold approached and conquered the entire country. In several provinces snowed and also in some isolated villages in Buenos Aires. At Capital only made it the cold, there was also some wind and rain. The wind blew shingles (as happened in my house)…


For the time is still cold and I think that will continue for quite some time. But the cold was not able to stop me and I went downtown to do some shopping.
In a store I found the movie Barbarella with Jane Fonda, I wanted to buy it but my father did not let me (I’m spending a lot of money lately) but it doesn’t matter because I will get it anyways. My dad bought a set of super expensive egyptian’s sheets and that seems to me an absurd buy: every madman with his subject.

During the return home we began to discuss about money and I decided to create my own brand that will offer for sale makeup, cosmetic creams and perfumes in order to be a kind of Lancome or Elizabeth Arden. We were thinking hard what name to put to the brand. I want it to be glamorous, but my name: Flavia Martina is not as glamorous as I’d like and then my dad told me: «Why not Molly Gray?«, to which I answered, «it’s not glamorous» and he says, «but if you put Molly Gray in google you appear so there you go, you have your brand there.«
The discussion did not end, any names suggestions??…

I wanna get a famous dude (just playing)

Argentina this week was crazy by the arrival of the famous singer Michael Bubble, and.. Why did he come over here?… To visit his argentinian girlfriend: Luisana Lopilato. Several months ago these two have been seen together in Los Angeles and it looks like the relationship is going pretty serious.

Now thinking … I do not mind any of these three guys visiting me …



Another thing, yesterday I came back at 11pm from college and went straight to the opening of a new bar in my city whose owner is my neighbor. The place is called WALES and is amazing, super retro, and the cuisine is excellent. I didn’t carry my camera but I’m going again on Monday so you will see more of the place.

My tribute to Michael Jackson:

This post may seem late but I wanted to take the time to prepare and show what a great artist he was and what he means to me.
To get started: a brief of history. My dad is very much a fan of his music so since I was born I could hear his magnificent and sweet voice.
Here I leave my selection of his best songs and videos … (I put them in categories)…

– Best Black & White video:

Stranger in Moscow

– Best rythm in a song:

They don’t care about us

– Best lyrics:

«If you want to know why, theres a love that cannot lie. Love is
strong, it only cares for joyful giving if we try we shall see in this bliss we
cannot feel fear or dread. We stop existing and start living»

Heal the world

– Best documentary:

Earth song

– Best dance scene:

Beat it

– Best video of his whole career:

Thriller

Changes are good

art, design
As you realize, I have changed the layout of my blog. I always envy the people who had WordPress because of the GridFocus layout. Surfing the net I found that it can also be used in Blogger so I put all my knowledge of html and woalá!: A new look for my blog.
Speaking of look in the blog of Sammy Brodsky I saw an amazing video of Anna Wintour; it’s the trailer of the documentary «September Issue,» just saying: I wish my magazine is as one quarter of what Vogue is!.

(photo credit: stylecopycat.blogspot)

Doing my daily reading of my favourite blogs I found at Discotheque Confussion a photo of Jen Brill. The photo is not that wow but it drove my attention up to the point to google her name.
Suddenly I meet a girl of very defined features and pure attitude.
Reading some more lines …. it’s the girlfriend of Terry Richardson! … …

The sky is falling

art, hail, rain

We are in winter and is raining like the sky is going to fall apart. Lucky for me, I love the rain and my favourite thing is to stay home and watch it fall.

I took my D40 and started taking shots of it, aw by the way hail also fell.. it was a bit terrifying but I enjoyed the moment….

(click photos to enlarge)








This moment was a little bizarre. At the peak of the storm I hit the streets to take some pictures and I found this gentleman with that super cute umbrella that seemed to like rain more than me. I loved his clown umbrella, where can I buy it?
