Socks & Sandals

You've got to love these men in socks and sandals! There's nothing better than that, and the people at Home of Socks and Sandals completely understood this. So they dedicated a whole website to them. A lot of prize-winning material on there!

Okay, the picture below wins... there's so much to say about this picture, so much happening I really don't know where to start. Please help me and sum up everything you see in this one!

Goodnight

Trip the Station #18

Can you guess what I am watching?

The Latest in Ski Fashion

Six more weeks before I go skiing. And spanish swim- and underwear brand ES already told me what to wear to be hip this year. If I compare this gear to my own I must say I look much better on the slopes. Bearded, well packed and waaaay more active. Still, this campaign makes me long for our trip even more!

Night Hotel

This beautiful spread by Bell Soto featuring models Douglas Neitzke and Nick Hinman shows a preview of the Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2010 collection and has been heavily inspired by THE trend of 2009, Vampires. I love how the whole process of becoming a vampire is covered in this shoot (imagesource: Visual Tales).

Stephan Eicher - Venez Danser

Peter hates his voice, but loves his arrangements. I love both and since Peter was out singing tonight, I played Stephan Eicher really loud.

I discovered Stephan Eicher back in 1988, on one of my vacations in Switzerland when I was still a young blond god. It was one of my first musicians I didn't discover by the videos they made so that was pretty new to me back then. I guess it was around the same time I really got interested in all the swiss dialects, so I was glad to have found a swiss singer using his own dialect. A few albums later, Stephan Eicher moved to France and hardly ever used his swiss dialect anymore, but I keep buying his albums anyway.

Oh, and he was one of the very first artists I saw in concert. I went with my sister, we missed the last train from Amsterdam and we hitchhiked back to the east. Very responsible behaviour, two teenagers hitchhiking in the middle of the night. Our first ride was driven by two french guys on their way back to Paris with a load of weed in their glove compartment. And hurray for us, they already smoked half of it and stopped in the middle of the highway to let us out to get our next ride in Utrecht. Good memories!

Name that Tune #107

What song can you see wordled up above?

Tomasz Pastyrczak

Sam Scott Schiavo did this beautiful spread in Hero Magazine Issue #2. He also published some of the outtakes of austrian model Tomasz Pastyrczak on his blog.

Dag Sinterklaasje

Okay, I've been nagging to some of you guys about putting their christmas tree up so early in the last few weeks. That is mainly because we have this other tradition in The Netherlands called Sinterklaas. This tradition is more and more overshadowed by that american tradition called Christmas, so I just don't like people having christmas decorations before Sinterklaas left the country, which is today.

So go ahead, decorate your homes, your stockings, your gardens. The almighty Zephyr allows you! And if I had a christmastree myself it would probably look like this beautiful animation above by dvdp.
