He made his directorial debut with Summer Holiday and then directed Robbery, John and Mary, The Friends of Eddie Coyle, Krull, The Dresser and the ...

We wanted to start this new year with a post that made us both laugh (first paragraph) but also think about important things (the fate of Sudan). On Saturday, Max Dana posted on her blog an article quoting several tweets people sent on Twitteron December 31. The result gives an interesting way to analyze some meaningless and some other meaningful 140 character-long sentences. Many readers already commented on Max’s Blog, especially about the Sudan ...

We don’t have Christmas tree, but a Treedweller by Nathan Jurevicius instead. We were thinking about making a Sama-tree but then Max Danacame with this curious vinyl toy she mentioned more than three years and a half ago in her post: Yes, I’m a vinyl fetishist… vinyl toys actually. We all love what Nathan Jurevicius creates so we decided the 6th limited edition figure from the Scarygirl series would make a perfect ‘Christmas tree’! ...

Ten days ago we posted about the Every Human Has Rights and CIVICUS new campaign: Barefoot Against Poverty. By going barefoot against poverty, the campaign invites us to take a first step for human rights, thinking about people who barely have food to put on their table, let alone shoes to put on their feet. Simple, effective, easy to understand and easy to do. Back to when all started for us. In 2008, Max Dana supported the Every Human Has Rights ...

Today is World AIDS Day. A day dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection.

Monday, we received the last album of French band Les Yeux Noirs. We have been listening to ‘Tiganeasca’ for two days and we love it! Max Dana posted about it this weekend and we are glad she sent us the CD, most of us didn’t know much about this kind of music.

About the campaign (more on official website): This year, ...

Many events are planned (Los Angeles, Miami)  and Hello Kitty fans in the United States will be able to see original artworks created by contemporary artists. Max Dana decided to post about these celebrations and to lift the veil on ‘her story with Hello Kitty’. An interesting post about something some of us have noticed for a while: Max is a big fan of Hello Kitty! ...
