RiRi Tropical - Rihanna for Vogue Brasil

Rihanna is the cover and fashion story star of Vogue Brazil's 39th anniversary issue and I couldn't think of anyone better or hotter. In this editorial, Barbados native Rihanna perfectly embodies the Brazilian woman: exotic, exuberant and just as alluring as Brazil itself. The Carmen Miranda inspired styling introduces the expected and somewhat necessary ghetto and tropical influences with a hint of 90's beauty, turning RiRi into a South American goddess worth worshiping.

The Silver Age

Looking at senior supermodel Daphne Selfe and her silver hair in the cover and editorial of Spanish magazine S Moda, I think she looks magnificent but cynically looking at my new profile picture on Facebook, I can't help but forget how hot I look and just notice the fine lines under my eyes and around my mouth. It is embarrassing to admit how common I am but it does scare me how old I'm getting. At "just" 27 I'm already spending a little fortune on anti-aging products that promise me I won't look a day over 20. You would expect that in a time when our life expectancy is getting longer our prime time would not be 17 but 37 or even 47 and beyond. But who is really to blame? Is it the usual scapegoat, the fashion industry and its use of ridiculously young girls in business suits and evening gowns or is it the cosmetic and plastic surgery industries with their infinite and apparently mandatory products and procedures that push us to that quest? Are we being brainwashed or are we just simply afraid of the inevitable? Incapacity and death. Is it really just about saggy breasts and grey hair or are we just afraid of how little we have left and how little we have lived? I know that for me getting older means getting wiser, becoming more successful, having a more meaningful life, becoming more... me. And showing my age without showing the results that should come with that age is too frightening of a possibility. However, I do hope that with age and those wrinkles I dread so much, I will stop caring about those little things and can age gracefully and peacefully and who knows, even become a supermodel after my 70th birthday.

Sailor Moon - Lana Del Rey for Numéro Tokyo

When I saw this cover and editorial of Lana Del Rey for Numéro Tokyo, I just had a flashback of my childhood heroes, Sailor Moon and her friends with their big bows and flowing hair against a colorful sky.  And I immediately remembered how excited I was to watch it on Saturday mornings and how me and my friends would play "Sailor Moon" on the playground ( I was Mercury by the way). Such sweet memories...

Quando vi esta capa e editorial da Numéro Tokyo com a Lana Del Rey, tive um flashback das heroínas da minha infância, as Navegantes da Lua com os seus grandes laços e cabelos ao vento contra céus coloridos. E lembrei-me de imediato daquelas manhãs de sábado a ver os desenhos animados na televisão e das brincadeiras com as minhas amigas no recreio (eu era sempre a Navegante de Mercúrio) . Que bons tempos...

Monthly Fix - Rachel Weisz for Harper's Bazaar

Racehel Weisz in Gucci for Harper's Bazaar UK, March 2013

I have a problem. An obsession. An addiction. More than shoes or lipstick my true love are magazines. If I had my way I'd buy them all. However the times demand some frugality, so I'm going for just one magazine a month. And I have a prediction that March will be the month of Harper's Bazaar. Not only is the cover beautiful (Rachel+Gucci+red&pink. Hello!?), but this is also the magazine's biggest issue ever. And you know how crazy I am for a magazine milestone. Now let's pray Vogue has a very ugly cover.

Eu tenho um problema. Uma obsessão. Um vício. Mais do que sapatos ou batôns, o meu verdadeiro amor são as revistas. Se pudesse, comprava-as todas. No entanto, os tempos exigem alguma frugalidade, por isso cinjo-me a apenas uma por mês. E prevejo que este seja o mês da Harper's Bazaar. Não só tem uma capa linda (Rachel+Gucci+vermelho&rosa. Hello!?), como é a maior edição da revista. E quem me conhece sabe que eu dou um dedinho por estes marcos históricos das revistas. Agora é só rezar para que a Vogue tenha uma capa muito feia.

Addendum:  Turns out Vogue doesn't have a really ugly cover this month. Turns out that it has gorgeous Cara Delevigne on the cover... Her first Vogue cover... I guess I'll have to stretch my magazine budget this month.
Adenda: Afinal a Vogue não tem uma capa muito feia. Afinal tem a Cara Delevigne na capa... A sua primeira capa da Vogue... Acho que este mês vou ter de esticar o orçamento para revistas
