    Totalement, tendrement, tragiquement. BRIGITTE BARDOT.

  • chez coco

    Questo è il bellissimo mosaico che ti accoglieva quando entravi al ristorante COCO BEACH a Nizza. Un vero peccato calpestarlo!

    Aperto nel 1936 dal signor COCO sulle roccie a strapiombo sul mare, con una sala a forma di prua e una terrazza con una vista mozzafiato sul porto di Nizza, sulla Promenade des Anglais e giù fino ad Antibes e Cap d’Antibes, COCO BEACH divenne famoso per le strepitose grigliate di pesce appena pescato direttamente dal signor COCO.

    JEAN COCTEAU, PICASSO, ALAIN DELON, ROMY SCHNEIDER, ROBERT DE NIRO, SEAN CONNERY(aveva una bellissima villa a due passi dal Coco beach) e persino FAUSTO COPPI erano clienti abituali del signor Coco.

    Nel 2017, passato di proprietà, una notte di luglio, prese misteriosamente fuoco.

    Si dice e si racconta che BRIGITTE BARDOT andasse matta invece per le linguine al pesto fatto con il basilico selvatico che cresce nascosto tra le roccie lungo le sentier des Douaniers.

    Ci ho impiegato due ore, un caldo assassino, una fatica tremenda su e giù per le roccie con il costante pericolo di finire di sotto, ma alla fine sono riuscito a trovarlo! Poi la sera ho capito subito perché venire a cena, da Saint-Tropez al COCO BEACH!

    Edie Sedgwick

    I first discovered the story of EDIE SEDGWICK during one of my trips to New York City in the early 80’s and I immediately fell in love!

    I loved her androgynous beauty, her great talent and her minimal style.

    EDIE SEDGWICK was the darling muse of ANDY WARHOL and soon became the queen of The Factory, the creative studio for artists and celebrities in Manhattan founded by ANDY WARHOL in 1964.

    With her great talent and her distinctive style, featuring miniskirts, simple black and white striped T-shirts worn over black tights, short hair dyed with silver spray, heavy eye make-up, false lashes and chandelier earrings, Edie becama a true style icon of the sixties. Whatever she wore quickly turned into a trend.

    She was the superstar in many underground films by ANDY WARHOL between 1964 and 1966. She was photographed for LIFE Magazine and VOGUE and inspired numerous artists. Songs like Like a Rolling Stone, Just Like a Woman, and Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat by BOB DYLAN were inspired by her. The VELVET UNDERGROUND recorded Femme Fatale and the English band THE CULT dedicated the song Ciao Baby to her.

    She was the most beautiful, the most charismatic, but also the most fragile, an explosive mix of beauty, innocence, sensuality, suffering and mystery.

    Happy birthday Baby!

    gertruda eisinger

    I think it was in 2013, when I was living in Prague.
    I was invited to the exhibition Fireflies in the dark, featuring drawings by Jewish children from the concentration camp of Theresienstadt. Often next to each drawing you could see a photograph of the young artist. GERTRUDA EISINGER was very beautiful.

    1972 Olympische Sommerspiele in München. Das Attentat.

    Olympic games are not always a festival of happiness and sport.

    In 1972 during the Olympische Sommerspiele in Munich, eight arabs criminals, members of the palestinian terrorist group Black September took eleven hostages, all members of the Israeli Olympic Team and killed them. One hostage was castrated and abused after he was shot!

    This is islam, these are arabs!

    In all these years and thanks to the Operation Wrath of God, the Mossad, the national intelligence agency of the State of Israel killed more then 200 palestinian terrorists members of the palestinian armed militant group Black September and operatives of the Palestine Liberation Organisation.

    Of the eight arab criminals involved in the Munich massacre, only one is still escaping. For how long?

    LETRASET EUROSTILE BOLD EXTENDED

    Happy me!
    Last week I found a trunk full of LETRASET EUROSTILE BOLD EXTENDED and MEDIUM EXTENDED.

    This clean and futuristic typeface was designed by ALDO NOVARESE in 1962 and was largely used in the 70’s sci-fi movies and tv shows. In the original STAR TREK tv series and movies, the font appears on the exterior of all Starfleet vessels and insignias worn by the crew.

    The right type for intergalactic communications!
