THE BLUE STAR OF FREMANTLE Fedora tipped over blue Seductive plucking of tune Street-side superstar Freo presents Ivan Zar In amongst the throng of bohemians languishing along Fremantle’s capuccino strip, I’m immediately drawn to the man sporting a suit and fedora in mid-night blue. Oozing 1960’s glamour evocative of the Cuban time warp, I learn [...]

Gotan Project = tango
Posted: 13th December 2010 by Carmen Jenner in Argentina, Gorgeous Things, ParisTags: Argentina, electro-tango, Gotan Project, La Revancha Del Tango, music, Paris, Santa Maris (Del Buen Ayre), tango
Just as the letters of the word ‘tango’ scramble into ‘gotan’, your perception of the Argentinean art form will morph into the sublime with a Gotan Project concert. My rendezvous with the Parisian electro-tango band began with La Revancha Del Tango. With every beat evocative of an elegant bouncing acrobat on a trampoline, each [...]
What Race?

I had lasted 11 hours in my silly shoes, but there was no way I could wear them for the twenty-minute hike back to the car. As my sandals dangled from my hands, the cool tarmac had taken a velvety texture beneath my bleeding feet. The brisk air itched my sunburnt shoulders and ached [...]

This is not the scene for some titillating fantasy, although the guy “working” on his roof next door may dream otherwise. We’ve gathered here today to celebrate the female form and [...]

Shake your booty. What could be sexier or warmer than knee-high boots? And this winter over-the-knee boots will hide those burgeoning knees.
Le Cafe de la Paix
Posted: 20th May 2009 by Carmen Jenner in Gorgeous Things, ParisTags: Paris, travel, Writing
Paintings and music, street noises, shops, flower markets, modes, fabrics, poems, ideas, everything seemed to lead toward a half-sensual, half-intellectual swoon. Inside the cafes, colour, perfume, taste and delirium could be poured together from one bottle or many bottles – from square, cylindrical, conical, tall, squat, brown, green or crimson bottles – but you drank [...]

AS Simone de Beauvoir put it: “One is not born a woman; rather one becomes a woman.” The French model wears a petticoat crafted from balloons.
