(I want) a black and white summer.

¿Por qué son tan bonitas las fotos en blanco y negro? Tienen un algo que las hacen tan especiales, son tan, no sé… Nostálgicas y dan una auténtica sensación de viaje en el tiempo. Y todo esto viene a que estaba yo aquí pensando en la muerte. Es broma. Estaba yo aquí comiendo (ricas) cerezas y viendo la Vogue online, cuando me he encontrado con un reportaje de fotos de personas de los años 40, 50, 60, disfrutando de su verano en la piscina, playa, etc. El caso es que mi amor por los años 50 aumenta cada día, y no solo por el bikini con parte de abajo de (super) talle alto que tanto me gusta, ni por esos tupés que no se despeinaban ni con el agua, sencillamente adoro los años 50 porque son, ummmm, son asdklalseiakdka. Son perfectos.

Why are photos in black and white as beautiful as they are? They have something that make them so special, they are so, I don’t know ... Nostalgic and they give a real sense of time travel. And I say all this because I was here, thinking about the death. Just kidding. I was here eating (delicious) cherries and reading the Vogue online, when I’ve found a story of pictures of people from the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, enjoying their summer at the pool, beach, etc.. The thing is that my love for the 50’s is increasing every day, and not just for the bikini bottom with (super) high waist that I like so, and not only for those toupees full of hairspray, I simply adore the 50’s because they are, ummmm, they are asoieaskdfae. They are perfect.

 

Y eso por lo que adoro los años 50, porque no necesitas ser un Beatle o ser Marcelo de "La Dolce Vita" para estar feliz o disfrutar del verano. Vale, quizás, a día de hoy tampoco necesitamos ser ellos, pero, ¿podéis ver lo felices que parecen todas esas personas? Y ellos no tenían internet u otras cosas tecnológicas, realmente, lo que ellos tenían era, ya sabeís chicos/as, Rock'n Roll.

And that's what I love the 50's because you don't need to be a Beatle or to be Marcelo from "La Dolce Vita" to be happy and to enjoy summer. Ok, maybe, in our days we also don't need to be them, but, can you see how happy all those persons seem to be? And they didn't have internet or other technology things, actually, what they had it's, you know babe, Rock'n roll. 

A Bowler Hat and some Wild Things.

Hi everyone!  Yesterday, I have gone to the cinema with my friends, and we have watched Dark Shadows,  the new Tim Burton's film, I like it so much! Above all, the image which is typical of Tim Burton's films and the characters, and of course, the actors: Johnny Depp, Chloë Moretz, Helena Bonham Carter,etc. The plot is different of usual Burton's plots, it's more like a comedy/drama, it's weird but I like it .  After it, I have taken advantage of the good weather   afternoon sunlight to take photos of my outfit, and some ith my friends.   My outfit was very simple a   tshirt of Where the Wild things are, my jeans, my converse, and my new black bowler hat from ASOS(I love it). Hope you like it! <3

Maurice Bernard Sendak.

Maurice Bernard Sendak was born in Brooklyn the 10th June.  He had a difficult childhood; however, it didn’t stop him to be an illustrator and a writer of children's literature. The Walt Disney film “Fantasia” has led him to be an illustrator, but he had more influences from different writers and artist.  He has said, "My gods are Herman Melville, Emily Dickinson, Mozart. I believe in them with all my heart. […] And I have a little tiny Emily Dickinson so big that I carry in my pocket everywhere. And you just read three poems of Emily. She is so brave. She is so strong. She is such a passionate little woman. I feel better. […] When Mozart is playing in my room, I am in conjunction with something I can't explain. [...] I don't need to. I know that if there's a purpose for life, it was for me to hear Mozart." Anyway, Sendak is best known for his book “Where the wild things are” he has written it the 1963 and it’s the best tale for children ever, it’s a simple story with a big meaning, it can’t be a telling story, you have to read and admire its 37 pages, and travel to “Where the wild things are” with your imagination, because this book is the description of imagination and of course, love. 

There is a film about the tale (my favorite film), Maurice Sendak has helped to Spike Jonze (the director) to get the perfect Max (the principal character) and they have gotten it: Max Records (yes, the actor has the same name that the character AND HE IS THE PERFECT BOY). 

Anyway, I have to speak about Maurice Sendak, not Max, but really, he’s the creator of Max, so, he’s the real Max and two days ago he has died, I just want to talk a little about him  because he’s an important person who has change the night of the children who couldn’t (and who still can’t) sleep. 

“Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, ‘Dear Jim: I loved your card’. Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, ‘Jim loved your card so much he ate it’… That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it”
