WHAT'S MY LINE?/BORN IN THE WRONG ERA PT.2!

What's My Line? Was a panel game show which originally ran in the United States in the 50s and 60s, with several international versions and subsequent U.S. revivals. The game tasked celebrity panelists with questioning contestants in order to determine their occupations.

JUST BRILLIANT! Another confirmation that I was definitely born in the wrong era!

Mystery guests have included: Frank Sinatra, Alfred Hitchcock, Yves Saint Laurent, Muhammad Ali, Paul Newman, Barbra Streisand , Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Salvador Dali, Colonel Sanders, Hugh Hefner, Sean Connery, Eleanor Roosevelt, Woody Allen, Duke Ellington or Elizabeth Taylor !

Check out three of my favourite special guests (it was quite hard to choose just three, so you should watch them all): Salvador Dali,Yves Saint Laurent & Louis 'Satchmo' Armstrong (Muhammad Ali and Nat King Cole are quite funny as well!)

Host nods 'No'

Dali says 'Yes'
SURREAL!

VERY OLD SCHOOL by NOMAD SKATEBOARDS

Nomad were one of Spain's first ever skateboard brands to hit the scene back in 1999 and since their conception they have gained a close following of fans who support the brand's skate team and their focus on high quality original graphics. To promote an upcoming collectible cruiser board, Nomad have taken it back to the early days with this two minute video dubbed Very Old School.The film has been cleverly put together to create scenes that appear nearly one hundred years old while the new cruiser is put to good use throughout the classic settings. The boards are expected to release in June but keep and eye on the Nomad website for further updates.

BEHIND-THE-SCENES ON MAD MEN'S SET

Beautiful black & white, kind of surreal, work by James Minchin III. 

The set of Emmy-award winning Mad Men is the focus of a series of images from James Minchin III. The Los Angeles-based photographer captures the set, the props, along with candid behind-the-scenes photos of the characters both on and off set. What makes the images so captivating is how it connects the past with the present. The creators do such a remarkable and convincing job with the show that when confronted with the truth here in black and white it seems almost surreal.

GRENSON: BEHIND THE BRAND + CONSPIRACY THEORY!

Do you know that feeling, when you see a sharp, neat, elegant, bla bla perfect looking man, in a great suit, with an exquisite shirt & tie? And then (unfortunately) you start scanning him from head to toes (at least that's what I do)..and then..SURPRISE (and a verrryy unpleasant one!)..you see these horrible, disgusting, beastly, repulsive, dreadful, offensive, awful side lace brownish shoes? (sorry, I just can't upload such a picture but, click here if you don't have a clue of what I'm talking about) 

I would really like to know why some people just love to mock themselves!?

Anyway, I started writing this post aiming to show you how these amazing Grenson shoes are made..And then IT INSTANTLY CAME BACK!..a man I saw yesterday..after that, all the above conspiracy..If HE will ever read this (or something similar), I really hope he will do something about it!..(And by the way, he was wearing this perfect *hugo boss I believe* black suit, perfect white shirt with widespread collars, black tie..and shoes, ohhh the shoes again :( 98% similar to the ones above!..now just try to picture that!)

Sorry for that, I'll leave you with this beautiful Grenson video!

Enjoy!

ROBERT DOISNEAU: PIONEER & ALL-TIME FAVOURITE!

Robert Doisneau (14 April 1912 – 1 April 1994) was a French photographer. In the 1930s he used a Leica on the streets of Paris; together with Henri Cartier-Bresson he was a pioneer of photojournalism. He is renowned for his 1950 image (below) Le baiser de l'hôtel de ville (Kiss by the Town Hall), a photo of a couple kissing in the busy streets of Paris. Robert Doisneau was appointed a Chevalier (Knight) of the Legion of Honour in 1984.

Wanna see more pictures?..Just Google the man..Or go to Paris, New York or Amsterdam..There are plenty of exhibitions!

IT'S ICED, BUT HOMEMADE, BABY! ;)

You can stand in line every morning for your $/£/€3 (or lots of RON) pick-me-up, or you can take charge and cold-brew an iced coffee better than anything you'd ever get from a barista. 

No one seems to understand why iced coffee costs so much more than the regular stuff?!?!

Sure, some theories exist: that it's more labor-intensive, that plastic cups are more expensive than paper ones, bla, bla..

Well, coffee barons, your days of ripping us off are officially over. Making iced coffee from scratch requires less effort than brewing it hot, and if you do it right, you'll produce a smoother, richer, less bitter concoction than anything you'll find in stores. The secret is to steep low and slow:

WE RECOMMEND: FILM & SOUNDTRACK - WE BOUGHT A ZOO!

Cameron Crowe (We Bought a Zoo) and Sigur Rós go back a decade – he used the band’s music in his 2001 film Vanilla Sky – and Jónsi’s material was already influencing the atmosphere of We Bought a Zoo ahead of the man’s signing on the dotted line. 

Actors were instructed to listen to tracks from his catalogue ahead of certain scenes, to create the ‘right’ energy. 

I'm pretty sure it worked! The film spreads some really positive energies!
