Music Monday: Pirate Heat

14 Jan

Check out this gem from Canadian artist Coeur de Pirate feat. Julien  Doré… It kinda gives me a modern vibe of the infamous lovers Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg. In the artistic sense, that is. This is steamy, (Canadian) French and totally sexy. Enjoy!

the wanderers

Photographer and writer Stephanie Dandan at Infinite Satorisets off for Asia soon to work on a photo storybook called The Wanderers.

Meet “The Hammaconda”

27 Mar

Aight ladies, whether or not you are sworn fans of AMC’s Mad Men, like Jon Hamm or not, or simply think he’s way superior to current universal girl crush, Ryan Gosling, you’ve probably noticed the buzz about Jon Junior, AKA The Hammaconda.

Let it hang freely, Jon! Women salute you!
