le mani d'oro

J'ai reçu des courriels d'amis se demandant ce qui advient de moi. Je suis absente sur PReview et sur mon blog depuis deux mois maintenant.

Entre le boulot en folie, la famille, les amis, la routine de la maison, la maitrise en gestion (un jour j'aurai assez de diplômes pour me faire une robe de soirée) et l'hiver sibérien, je manque d'énergie pour écrire. En contre partie, je couds. J'ai terminé 3 chandails (2 pullover et un t-shirt), 2 jupes, un pantalon, 2 hauts et une robe pour ma petite soeur enceinte et je n'ai pas touché à ma veste en denim ;-o. J'ai du retard dans l'écriture c'est tout. J'espère qu'à mon retour dans le cyberespace vous ne m'aurez pas oublié ?


I received emails from friends who got worried after a two-month silence on PR and my blog.

Well oh well, between my crazy work, family, friends, house routine, my master in management and this siberian winter, I totaly lack energy to write. In return, I have sewn, 3 sweaters, one pair of pants, two skirts, 2 tops and one dress for my fabulous pregnent sister and did not finish my denim jacket ;-).

I hope that when I return to the cyberspace, you will not have forgotten all about me.

Winter makes me want to sleep more, l'hiver me donne envie de dormir plus...

À bientôt, see you soon !

Of course a picture is worth a thousand words.

As much I am against the degrading use of the female body to sell consumer goods, as much I was surprised to see the pictures from this online catalog.

Is this a degrading use of the male body ? Is there an absolute need for this nudity? Where is the line between art, provocation and "objectivising" human bodies for marketing? What a delicate question to answer.

Genesis of the question ...

Every month, I receive the Canadian House & Home magazine. A beautifully decoration magazine, source of many decoration ideas for my house. At the very last page, there is always a page entitled "Trend Watch". There was a pair of outrageously attractive green shoes from Rodolphe Menudier. From magazine to Internet, I surfed the site to fall on this catalog all dressed or undressed in blue.

With my spouse and favorite photographer (who's been teaching photography for 25 years), we conversed at length on the human body as object of advertisment. Still no precise idea on where to draw the line came out of our discussion and still so many unanswered questions.

And you, what do YOU think of all this. Gorgeous shoes, but still ...

Quelle belle suprise que de recevoir un cadeau par la poste ! Mon amie Annette qui habite le Nebraska, m'a fait parvenir une superbe pièce de tissus qui a une touche asiatique géniale. Si vous connaissez mon penchant pour les tissus et vêtements d'Asie, vous devinerez que son cadeau tombe pleinement dans mes cordes. Mille mercis Annette !

What better surprise then receiving a gift by mail ? My friend Annette who lives in Nebraska, sent me a superb piece of fabric that has this genious asian touch. If you know how passionate I am of asian fashion, you will quickly guess how much I appreciate that fabric. She also added a little trinket as she calls it. Thank you so much Annette. This is very generious and sweet of you.

Those sculptures are called Innukshuk.
