Birdie 28 - Be Italian.

Hace tiempo, esos dias que el cine estuvo a 2 lucas, fuimos con mi mamá al cine, y nos metimos a ver dos peliculas de una. Ponyo y Nine. De Ponyo les puedo hablar maravillas por horas, porque me encantan las peliculas de Miyazaki; El Viaje de Chihiro, La Princesa Mononoke, Mi Vecino Totoro. Pero lo que me traumo ese dia fue cuando fuimos a ver Nine. Como fuimos en la mañana un dia de semana, estaba vacia, salvo por dos caballeros. Uno de aspecto bastante decente, pero otro parece que se la paso haciendo "cosillas" en la pelicula, en especial cuando Pé salio bailando. TRAUMA ABSOLUTO! A pesar de eso me gusto la pelicula, porque detesto los musicales (un gusto adquirido de mi madre, que los odia tambien) Me gusto mucho la cancion de Fergie, eso de "Se italiano" grrr! 

 "So you little Italian devils, You want to know about love? Saraghina will tell you.
If you want to make a woman happy, you lie on what you’re born with"

Some time ago, I went to the cinema with my mom, a days when cinema was very cheap, and we saw two movies, one after other; Ponyo and Nine. About Ponyo I can talk wonders for hours, because I love Miyazaki's movies; Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, My Neighbor Totoro. But what was my day trauma, was when we went to watch Nine. We went in the morning, one day on the week, so the room was empty, except for two gentlemens. One looked pretty decent, but the other seems like he made some "stuff" in the movie, specially when Pé appeared dancing. ABSOLUTE TRAUMA!  But despite this, I liked the movie, because I hate musicals (an acquired taste from my mother, that hates them too) I liked a lot Fergie's song, that thing about "Be Italian" Grr!

Birdie 27 - Edie.

Me muero por ver Factory Girl, pero no se donde conseguirla. Por si no saben que es, es la pelicula basada en la vida de Edie Sedgwick, y por si no saben quien es ella (aunque la mayoria de las chicas que se precien de aspirante a voguette lo saben), aqui va una frase que resumiria todo.

"Edie Sedgwick was a sixties style icon. Consort to Andy Warhol, muse to Bob Dylan, she was also heiress to a vast fortune."

I'm just dying to see Factory Girl, but I don't know where I can get it. If you don't know what is that, its the movie based on Edie Sedgwick's life, and If you don't know who's her (even that the most of the girls that consider herself a voguette aspirant knows) theres a phrase that would resume it all.

Birdie 26 - Maths in fashion, Maths in beauty, Maths in universe.

El mundo es matematicamente perfecto. Las flores tienen angulos alternados, las hojas de helecho tienen poligonos, las conchas marinas tienen helicoides. Simetrias, angulos, espirales, esferas, elipses, cilindros... Los estoy aburriendo? Parezco una cientifica chiflada? Es que las formas geometricas estan en todo. En la naturaleza, en el universo, en nosotros mismos.


Segun la biologia, vendriamos a ser dos embriones pegados o algo asi. Y por esto, tenemos una simetria bilateral, que consiste en que una parte del cuerpo corresponde con la contralateral (o en español, la parte de la izquierda es semejante a la derecha y viceversa) Pero esta simetria no es perfecta, nos damos cuenta si nos fijamos en organos como el corazon, el higado, o para darse cuenta palpablemente, nuestras dos manos. Si se fijan bien, una es ligeramente mas grande que la otra.

Esto es aun mas evidente si dividimos una fotografia de un rostro por la mitad, verticalmente. Al juntar la mitad de la imagen con un espejo, nos daremos cuenta que el nuevo rostro formado por la union de mitades de un lado es muy distinto al formado normalmente, o al formado por la repeticion de los lados contrarios. Asi mismo existe un lado predominante, que es comunmente el derecho si somos diestros, o el izquierdo si somos zurdos.


Ya, voy al grano. Segun este articulo, Kate Moss es tan fotogenica, porque su rostro es matematicamente casi perfecto. Si se fijan en esa pequeña division que sale en el articulo, es la division de las proporciones de su rostro. El rostro perfecto seria un 0,7, y ella tiene 0,678. Soy sincera o no? No me gusta mucho Kate Moss. En sus inicios le encuentro cara de Nosferatu, y ahora la encuentro engreida. Cosas de gusto, no? 

World is mathematically perfect. The flowers have alternate angles,  the leaves have poligons, the sea shells have helicoids. Simmetry, angles, spirals... Am I getting you bored? Do I sound like a crazy scientist? Well, geometrical shapes are in everything. The nature, the universe, in ourselves.

According to biology, we would be two pasted embryons, or something like that. And thats why we have a billateral symmetry, that consists in the fact that one part of the body concords to the other side. But this simmetry isn't perfect. If we think about the organs like the heart, that are asymetrical, or to see it yourself, your hands. One is a little bit bigger than the other.

This is even more evident if we divide the photography of a face, vertically in two parts. When you put one half of the image with a mirror, you'll see that the new face formed with the union of the mirror and half of the face, is very different than the one formed with the other half of the face. 

Also there's a predominant side, that commonly is the right if we're right handed, or left if you're lefty.

Okay, I'll go to my point now. according to this article, Kate Moss is so photogenic, because her face is mathematically perfect. If you see that small division in the page, its the division of the proportions of her face. A perfect one would be 0,7 and hers is 0,678. Should I be sincere? I really don't like very much Kate Moss. In her beginnings, I think she looks like Nosferatu, and now I think she's conceited. Well, everybody haves its own taste.

Birdie 24 - Interesting way of seeing life.

"Odio el rollo de tomarse la moda en serio, odio cuando me preguntan que es para mí la moda, odio el rollo de ir enseñando las chaneladas por aquí y por allá y estar hablando de tiendas demasiado rato, odio las tendencias,  y lo que ahora se lleva o no, odio saber si estos zapatos del H&M son una copia de Lanvin o de mi vecina del quinto, odio la banalidad que eso representa y no me gusta sentirme vacía y por eso no miro nunca las colecciones de nada y me entero por mis amigos maricas de todo el fashioneo del culo. Bah, para mí moda es

(o tendría que ser) como la música, el cine, la pintura, es como una rama más de arte dónde uno puede expresar lo que siente junto al color, las formas, las texturas. Es una manera de liberarte de convertir la vida en magia y cuento y llenarlo delirio y fantasía. La moda tendría que hacernos libres, no esclavos."

Miranda Makaroff Delgado. Ella si sabe. (lo leí en su blog)

"I hate taking fashion seriously, I hate when they ask me what is fashion for me, I hate the thing of be teaching about Chanel stuff here and there, and to talk about shops too many time, I hate trends, and what its hip or not, I hate to know if those H&M shoes are a Lanvin copy or from my neighbour from 5th floor, I hate the triviality that this represents, and I don't like to feel empty, and that's why I never look at collections of anything, and I found out about shitty fashion stuff because of my gay friends. Bah, for me fashion is (or should be) like music, movies, painting, is another part of the art, where one can express what is feeling using colour, shapes, textures. Is a way to be free, to turn life in magic and tale, and fulfill it with delirium and fantasy. Fashion should makes us free, not slaves."

Birdie 23 - Hair, Hair, Hair.

Aunque esta editorial del Vogue Nippon esta viejisima (2007!) Me encantan los cortes. Me gusta ese rojo furioso, y que por fin se empiece a aceptar el pelo rizado, tras la esclavizacion pokemona y pelolais que surgio y la obligacion de usar planchita de pelo (a la que sucumbi tontamente por un año, ahora no me aliso el pelo ni a palos) La verdad? Me gusta el pelo con volumen, o muy largo o muy corto. Si tuviera el pelo liso, definitivamente me haria un corte garcon. 

Even this editorial fron Nippon Vogue is very old (2007) I just love the haircuts. I like that furious red, and the fact that finally curly hair is being accepted and liked after the "pelolais" (rich girls) and pokemon (something like emos but with reggaeton) enslavisation (the word is like that?) appeared, and it was a MUST using a hair iron (I succumbed stupidily to it for a year. Now, I wouldn't straight my hair even if I was dead) Actually, I like the hair with volume, and very long, or very short. If I had straight hair, definetly I'd made a Garcon haircut.

Birdie 22 - Bright Star

Desde que vi en un blog el trailer de la pelicula Bright Star me he devanado los sesos tratando de encontrarla para verla en internet. Ya les confese mi romanticismo absoluto, y esta pelicula me sedujo totalmente. La pelicula trata acerca del tragico romance entre el poeta John Keats y Fanny Brawne. Digo tragico porque el murio a los 25 años. Lei un poco de su poesia (porque no lo conocia antes de ver el trailer) y me enamore de ella. Alguien sabe donde la puedo encontrar?

Imdb link here. Trailer here.

Since I've saw in a blog the trailer of the movie Bright Star I've searched a LOT, trying to find it on internet. I've already confessed you my absolut romanticism, and this movie totally seduced me. The movie centers around the beautiful yet tragic romance between the poet John Keats and his love Fanny Brawne. I say tragic because he died at 25 years. I've read a bit of his poetry (because I didn't knew him before watching the trailer) and I fell in love with it. Does anyone knows where I can find it?

OH GAGA.
