Food for thought: Heartbomb

Warning: This product is not good for your health. Eating to much can cause heartproblems or a high bloodpressure. Once or twice per month is more than enough.


Heartbomb *

Ingredients:

Rusk. (or a toast or something)

Salt (not too much)


Olive Oil.

You take a rusk (is it a rusk? I don't know. We use the word: beschuitje.) and sprenkle some oil on it. Use the oil wisely, but be sure the whole surface is covered with it!
Then drop some salt on the oil.
And tada you have a heartbomb.
Seriously, it's simple but I think delicious.
And again don't overdo it. Not to much oil or salt.
Next time probably something a little bit more difficult.

Fashion: Pretty Clothes 01

Givenchy S/S 2010

We're going to start with presents! under and above make me think of fancy and neatly wrapped blackandwhite presents that contain cool designer things.

Under is so amazing. If you'd see the fabric in a store you'd probably not buy it because you'll think: "I'll make people go crazy when I wear a skirt of that, if I'm making a complete outfit of it, people'll probably stay crazy for the rest of their life". But it's done so well here. really pretty.


Karl Lagerfeld S/S 2010

I need the under and above dresses in my life. They are so pretty and make the girls look like really expensive and pretty dolls.


Don't you think the girl above looks like she's standing in the shower/laying in bath and used a whole lot of soap?

I love these glasses (under and above), especially the weird arrowthing on the side.

I heart: An Awesome Project

Dallas Clayton wrote a book called An Awesome Book for his son. He pressed them into thousands and send them all over the world. People loved it, adored it. And he started giving books away, in parks, in schools or just on the street. The book is about dreaming, and that's Dallas' goal: to let everybody: Dream Big!

He enjoyed letting people dream so much that he started a project: An Awesome Project. It's an american organisation that wants to promote children’s literacy by encouraging kids to dream and dream often! I think that's like.. awesome right?

For your information, see: http://www.veryawesomeworld.com/

And you can read the book here!
But it is an amazing gift, and an amazing project and Christmas is coming so.. you can also buy the book here!

DREAM BIG!

Cool people who make nice things: Koltrast

Some people are cool even though they make pictures with their webcam and are probably a few years younger than me. The boys and girls on Koltrast belong in the category of 'cool'. I have no idea with how many they are and I have no idea what is said in the posts, but the outfits are amazing. Check it out here, and I'll give you a few examples:

Film reviews: Brothers



What? Brothers (2009)
When/where?
tuesday, 8 december 2009 in sneak preview, amsterdam
Director? Jim Sheridan
Who? Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman, Tobey Maguire
Story? Brothers is a remake of Brødre. Captain Sam Cahill (Maguire) is send off to afghanistan, leaving his wife Grace (Portman) and two daughters behind. When he goes missing, everybody assumes he's dead. Sam's brother Tommy (Gyllenhaal) spends more and more time with Grace and the kids. Grace and Tommy get in a relationship of sorts and the kids see him as a second father. When Sam turns out to be still alive and comes back, he's changed a lot and is suspicious of what has happened between Grace and Tommy.
Good? I thought this movie was really good. At first the people in the cinema didn't seem to be able to concentrate and I noticed that I couldn't really either. I figured it was because of the soundtrack; not your usual hollywood songs. I appreciate that they tried something new but I don't think it really worked because it didn't bring people in the good mood. Later on in the movie, it got a lot better. The acting was great. Especially Tobey Maguire played his role fantasticly. And let's not forget about the little girls in the movie. They made the whole thing a little less dramatic and little more funny and cute at times. Although there is one scene where they make everything even more awkward than it already is and you're biting your lip and shuffle around on your seat because it's so awkward. Amazing. I'm all for weird little kids, they're the best. The movie really shows that being a warhero isn't always sunshine, puppies and rainbows, that actually it's really hard most of the time. You should watch it and make sure you're not in a cinema with lots of noisy, horny teenagers who yell 'whore!', 'fuck him!' (not as in: he's a loser, but as in: I want to see sex) and other rude things that make you giggle.

Collecting Dust: SMALL FACES

Collecting dust is about songs, fashion statements and more that are collecting dust in our minds and need to get back in the picture!

If I say Beatles, you say 'JUUUUDE (or something like that)'. If I say the Who, you say 't-t-talking a-about my g-g-generation'. But do you know what to say when I say Small Faces? If you do than I love you dearly. If you don't I still love you dearly but I want you to read this article carefully.

Small faces have brought us a lot. They were known as one of the biggest original influences of the Britpop movement in 1990! There are a few songs we have to remember. Does there ring any bell when I sing: It's all to beautiful, It's all to beautiful? Or: Lazy sunday afternoon, I got no right to worry? You have to imagine a perfect London accent by this text, though. 'Cause that's were the pals are from: East London! They're havely inspired by the American Rythm 'nd Blues (No that is not the same as the today's R&B). They started of in 1965, probably decades before you were born and millenuims before I saw the light of life. But thankfully my dad is an oldie who loves music like this more than he loves his wife and daughter (kiddin', well.. I'm not sure). He likes to tire me to a chair and have me listening to old music untill I like it, which is terrifying fast, actually.

Back to the subject. If you like Small faces, then you probably will like the Who and all of the other bands who were there like: The kinks (Girl you really got me going, you got me so I don't know why I'm going now), Paul Weller (You do something to meeehee), The creation (Making tiiiimeee..) and a few more.
