The Towering Genius of Alexander McQueen Alexander McQueen’s extraordinary talent was not just limited to creating clothes: the man also knew how to put on a spectacular show, quite unlike any other. In this post I am going to look back on McQueen’s fashion career. Of course I will by no means be able to cover everything, and when I say ‘look back’ I don’t really mean it literally: I sadly never attended a single McQueen show, and I am ashamed to say it is only now that I have properly discovered some of his most amazing shows and collections, many of which took place long before I was really aware of fashion. Still, this will hopefully imbue the post with something of an optimism: not so much looking back, but rather looking into, and looking forwards at, the incredible legacy which Alexander McQueen leaves.

World Cup Philosophy: Germany vs France This comic is an homage (or perhaps ripoff, if you are feeling less generous) of Monty Python's classic skit, "The Philosophers' Football Match". Sartre's "radical freedom" is explained in the notes on comic 17. Similarly, Derrida's joke is explained in the notes of comic 23. Hey, I have a limited subject matter, I'm going to reuse jokes, get used to it. Foucault was best known for his critiques of power structures, and for hyphenating words. Camus thought the world was "absurd".
Men’s Hair Style: The Quiff & How To Style It The Quiff…The Daddy Of All Male Hairstyles With the popularity of the QUIFF and many new men’s hair styles that look like they may need a little more than a quick towel dry, the time has come to hone your hair styling skills.

María Félix "Maria de los Angeles Felix" redirects here. For a telenovela, please see Maria de los Angeles. For the actress’ filmography, see María Félix filmography. María Félix (April 8, 1914 in Álamos, Sonora, Mexico – April 8, 2002 in Mexico City) was a Mexican film actress. She is considered one of the most important female figures of the so-called Golden Age of Mexican cinema. On Terminal Goals and Virtue Ethics Introduction That was an impossible-to-resist pitch, and I saw the movie. The thing that resonated most with me–also the thing that my friend thought I had in common with the main character–was the idea that you could make a particular decision, and set yourself down a particular course of action, in order to make yourself become a particular kind of person. Tris didn’t join the Dauntless cast because she thought they were doing the most good in society, or because she thought her comparative advantage to do good lay there–she chose it because they were brave, and she wasn’t, yet, and she wanted to be. Bravery was a virtue that she thought she ought to have. If the graph of her motivations even went any deeper, the only node beyond ‘become brave’ was ‘become good.’
Grace Coddington Early life and modeling career[edit] At the age of 26, she was in car accident that left her disfigured (she lost her eyelid). She later had plastic surgery to have it reconstructed. Beards Are Over By Peter Lawrence Kane It’s suddenly possible to see past the beard, because the beard is everywhere. It’s found its way onto the chin of just about every cultural context out there: Hollywood A-listers, Orthodox rabbis, organic farmers, Goldman Sachs CEOs, faux-lumberjacks, actual lumberjacks, television duck hunters, daddy bears, al-Qaeda jihadis, baseball players, and Matt Lauer. Once a rare, religious adornment that also had an extreme anti-establishment vibe, a beard can now be anything you want it to be. But the beard’s days are numbered, at least in terms of any badass quotient.
Fall Fashion Grace Coddington Perhaps that old adage about never working with animals and children didn'tmake it to the fashion world. Or perhaps the fashion world, typically willful, just chose to ignore it. Whatever the case, the creative director of Vogue, Grace Coddington, and photographer Arthur Elgort seem blissfully unworried as they corral four children under the age of 12 and one palomino into their remake of Annie Get Your Gun. Re-creating theWild West at an East Hampton horse farm, Vogue's version of the musical stars models Carmen Kass (as Annie Oakley) and Patrick Sullivan (as Frank Butler), a Buffalo Bill look-alike (whose method acting extends toturning up in an Annie Get Your Gun T-shirt, circa the Bernadette Peters years), and racks and racks of Ralph Lauren clothes.

It seemed a desk job purgatory. I had just spent two years riding a bicycle around Eurasia and working as a journalist, and even the most glamorous jobs the town had to offer seemed boring. The thought of working in a midtown tower made me depressed. The insane focus and ambition with which my friends hurled themselves into those office buildings made me even more depressed.
