I just loved the Dior dresses this year. And Miss Cottillard's Jean Paul Gautier was just perfect too.
Watch the bonbons and the wrapping papers at the Oscar's website.
J'aime bien regarder les oscars pour les robes aussi. Il y a celles qui ressemblent a des bonbons et celles qui ressemblent a des papiers d'emballage de chocolat. J'aime mieux les bonbons que le papier, apres c'est une affaire de gout.

I always feel a bit weird when I look at billboard charts. Who is Mr Flo Rida and what is T-Pain?
I'm a bit exaggerating, because for this week I know a few titles OK.
But still. I look around , follow links and buy what I like on itunes, because I'm too busy-lazy to go to the music shop. I have my very own taste, good or bad I don't know, and end up very surprised when an artist I like for months or even years becomes trendy enough that I'll spot her here and there.
I like to listen to cute , soft music when I work. I'm very fond of Keren Ann and I was sure happy to attend one of her show here in SF. I discovered her via Henry Salvador. She made a very cute song for him, I looked for the name of the composer et voila.
Browsing different French blogs I fell in love with Yael Naim music this summer. The clip is really endearing. Looks like I'm not the only one to like her because one of her songs is now the Apple Mac Book Air advertising song.
But these days I'm completely in love with Cat Power beautiful music. Is it trendy? I don't mind. I can't wait to be on the 22 to listen to her new album.
I remember reading on Paul Weller's band's drum something like " Fire and skills" (listen to Mr Weller music if you need more than the usual guitar band to spruce up your day)
It's exactly how I like music, the technique being sooo good the artist is able to forget about it and fly, fly...
La traduction en Francais qui tchue ICI en attendant que j'arrive a trouver 5 mn pour l'ecrire moi-meme ( spa gagne) . Ce post, comme dans le bon vieux temps des dedicaces NRJ, est dedie a Alix, huhu.
La photo c'est ce que mon fils voit quand il joue. Je me dis souvent que la premiere fois qu'il rentrera chez quelqu'un de normal avec des murs blancs et un canape beige, ca va lui faire bizarre.
Sorry I have to much work these days to have fun and post illos. I'll come back as soon as I can.
Il faut le savoir, j'ai un ours de retard...Il dort dans mon carnet en

I we made bimbos believe that golbal warming is going to kill the golden retrievers, I'm quite sure it would have more impact than talking about saving the seals. Arf.
Save the golden retrievers!!!
I know it's so not funny at all.
Heehee.

"house warming" veut dire "pendaison de cremaillere" en Anglais.
The Non dairy Diary is going to take some time off until September 4.
The French translation explains the degree of liberty I take when I translate from a foreign language to French language. At this point it's no more liberty, it's running wild. Hum. I wish I was able to do it on reverse. Thinking about it I guess I do sometimes speak in a funny or even akward way but I'm not aware of it. Ouch.
Le Non dairy Diary va prendre des vacances jusqu'au 4 septembre, le 4 parceque le 3 c'est le Jour du Labour et moi je bosse pas le jour du labour.
J'aime bien traduire l'anglais n'importe comment si je veux. L'Espagnol aussi. Les pubs pour le programme El Cucuy de la Mañana * me font toujours autant marrer apres 3 ans, si c'est pas triste hein.
Je reviens le 4 avec des tas de nouveaux trucs, genre une page de motifs, une collec' d'avatars, un fond d'ecran lapin, ce genre de choses tout ca.
I shall be back the fourth with some new stuff, see you in September!
Have a good time but remember
There is danger in the summer moon above
Will I see you in September
Or lose you to a summer love
(counting the days 'til I'll be with you)
(counting the hours and the minutes, too

I'm always surprised about how much time people actually spend on choosing colors, trying to find rules to help them. Color is a very cultural thing, with all kind of different meanings and symbols, different ways to make it and see it. If you really think about it, there is no good colors theory. Color cannot be ruled by mathematics or culture. I'm afraid there is no rules.
Franchement tous ces gens qui essaient de vous expliquer des theories de la couleur, je trouve ca gonflant. La couleur c'est quelquechose d'a la fois culturel et mathematique, il n'y a pas de regle stricte, ou il y en a tellement que finalement elles s'annulent. Par exemple la complementaire du rouge dans le systeme soustractif c'est un vert, alors que dans le systeme additif c'est un bleu turquoise. Les deux marchent. Ou pas. Il n'y pas de regles, ou plutot il y en a trop!
For example, I was really surprised how much I enjoyed the random chart of colors created by this simple vase, a flower left from my mother's day bouquet, both put on a very sweet tray I have in the nursery. I look at it when I feed my baby and I was wondering why I liked it so much.
Par exemple j'ai ete tres surprise d'etre ravie de l'harmonie coloree de ce bouquet sur un plateau ( merci Alix pour le hochet oiseau, trop top la classe) . Non je n'aime pas les oiseaux tant que ca, ou est-ce que vous etes alles chercher ca? Bref. Cela me rejouit l'oeil, et tant mieux , parceque c'est juste sous mon nez quand je donne son biberon a Bebe Joli et il aime prendre son temps.
If I make a simple analysis of the colors:
N'empeche, rose mauve jaune d'or marron beige, a priori euh : beurk
I find it just plain ugly.
But if I try just a little bit more harder:
en fait si je fais plus attention, ca ressemble plutot a ca, et la de nouveau cela me rejouit l'oeil ( et j'aime avoir l'oeil content)
now I love it.
It taught me a lesson : the important thing is not the colors you pick, it's the way you put them together.
It's been a while I was having this feeling and I wasn't able to put words on it.
Thanks to a few bottles of milk I was able to think about it enough to put it into words :)
I had to share!
Il y a donc une conclusion evidente: ce n'est pas le choix des couleurs qui compte, mais la facon dont on les met ensemble. Ca fait des annees que j'essayais de verbaliser ca, je suis bien contente que mon fils soit lent du biberon, ca me laisse le temps de penser.

When I was young in France, this video was shown very often on tv. I loved it dearly, and it sure influenced my imagination a lot. I'm still in love with the bird headed dancing lady bugs...Does anybody knows if this video was influenced by a particular illustrator?
I see hints of Arthur Rackam and maybe a bit of Felix Lorioux, but I'm not sure.
Anyway, this has a special holiday feeling to me! Ca vous rappelle des souvenirs a vous aussi?
Addendum: Bingo! I found the illustrator: Alan Aldrige. He illustrated the book who inspired the video. | |
Aujourd'hui, pas d'images.
Exceptionnellement, du son que j'ai enregistre pour vous:huhuhu
J'avais envie de partager.
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
