M.I.A. - BORN FREE



Last weekend I was shown this video and I loved the photography (and the video itself).
The latest edition of Jalouse is all about redheads and there you can find an interview of the director, Romain Gavras.

FASHION BLOGGING

Yesterday I attended a lecture about fashion blogging in Streetlab_ due to the Amsterdam Fashion Week 2010. The event was part of Premsela's 'Masters of Amateurism' series (which focuses in amateurism in popular culture, design...) in collaboration with the American Book Center and featured a presentation by Katja Hentschel of Glamcanyon (on the last picture).

It is incredible how many things you can achieve through an 'apparently' simple Internet tool such as a blog. I didn't expect the event to be that interesting!
I was really surprised by the great personality Aynouk Tan, a Dutch Fashion icon and journalist, who gave an introduction to the main lecture.

And to finish... some drinks and nice tunes!

Streetlab_ is in Postjesweg 2

DUTCH CHINESE MEAL



Well, he was right. Dutch Chinese food is better than Spanish and Belgian Chinese food. I don't know about the real Chinese one but this was just tasty.
Specially the tomato soup (the bad one).
Yes, we love eating.

I am melting in this Dutch Amazonia.

HECQ SV EXILLION - SPHERES OF FURY



Love it

DIEGO GRAVINESE


Even if they look like, they are not photos.
I am totally astonished by the paintings of this Argentinian artist.
More on his website

A DAY AT THE BEACH


Dunes, dunes, dunes and beach clubs.
In the picture, Republiek (Bloemendaal)

To get there: train to Haarlem and then buses 81 or 84 (only in Summer) to Strand.
Republiek and other super nice beach clubs are just in front!

SUNDAY MARKET

Every last Sunday of the month (except in Summer) takes place the Sunday Market. It is usually located in the Westergasfabriek (as its name says, an old gas factory that turned into a multifunctional space for cultural and creative purposes) but last June it changed its location to Amsterdam Noord. The fact of taking a ferry to visit the other part of the city is something that really amazes me from Amsterdam.




Forget about it if you want to buy second hand clothes. On the other hand you have alternative fashion brands or handmade clothes.
And furthermore, lots of stands with food, such as this pancake caravan or the oysters stand where we had one for free plus some super nice french cider.



Visiting the market also gave us the chance of knowing of another great place. But that will come soon!

To get to Amsterdam-Noord take a at Centraal Station.
In this case, direction Buiksloterweg (every 5 or 10 min?)
