Let me be the first to write my, not so anonymous confession.

I love being sick. It allows me to contribute absolutely nothing to the world without regret. 

You're next! What are your 'anonymous' confessions?

Bag-in-Bag Wine: Vernissage

The Bag-in-Bag wine Vernissage has taken both wine-lovers and the press by storm, in Sweden as well as internationally. Behind the success are Sofia Blomberg, the creator of the unique packaging design, and Takis Soldatos, the creator of the packaging´s contents. The results are elegant design, and a characteristically typical mixture of French Chardonnay and Viognier produced in one of Northern Europe´s most modern wineries, Nordic Sea Winery in Simrishamn.

The thought behind Vernissage is a playful approach the curious and modern wine consumer. At the same time, a woman´s touch has propelled the Bag-in-Bag wine from the practical to the elegant.

If you remember my post on another fancy box wine, The20, you can really appreciate the design efforts of these creative and unique design packaging. I look forward to more to come. This is the type of trend I can get behind!

What do you think of box wines getting this type of fashion treatment and attention?

Models Я Us

I had another post prepped to send out but I was sidetracked when I came across the photo above. Now, this is not recent news (Summer 2011) but I still have to speak on it and get your opinions.

First seen in Vogue Enfant, the pouting face above is that of 10 year old (at time of photo) French model Thylane Léena-Rose Blondeau. The "Too Young to Model" controversy hit the wave when French magazine, Cadeaux, featured Thylane Blondeau in their August 2011 issue in the photo above and one of the photos below. Children's advocate groups were up in arms accusing the magazine and parents of child endangerment and other offenses. You can read/view the full Good Morning America news report regarding that part of the story.

This is a bit to much. I took five extra looks to make sure it was not a Photoshop image. These would be gorgeous photos if the model wasn't a baby vixen. I would rather not see these types of photos because we cannot control where they will eventually end up. The world is a crazy and dangerous place. Parents should protect not expose their children to this side of the world.

My opinion is not for everyone and these photos shouldn't be either. There are those that support these images.

I found Thylane Léna-Rose Blondeau Tumblr fan site, although it seems less of a fan site and more internally managed. The site does show us a different view of the young model, a more innocent [somewhat] and beautiful young girl.

For those that would ask where the parents are... father, Patrick Blondeau, a former international footballer and mother, Veronika Loubry, fashion designer. The family also includes a son, Ayrton Blondeau. Click to enlarge family photo (minus Ayrton) picture to the right.

Tim Tebow vs Mark Sanchez: Which Would You Rather?

 

Hello my pretties. It has been a while since I last chatted with everyone. I'm back from a well needed break and I have so much to talk about; Arkansas, Kanye, diary aisle, wedding, Ghana, Galifianakiss, DIY project, Brooklyn, and so much more. Where do I start?

I think the most pressing, in my opinion, is to share my thoughts on the Tim Tebow / NY JETS wave.

For my readers who might not know or understand what the noise is all about, the New York JETS traded for #15 Tim Tebow from the Denver Broncos as the "back-up" quarterback behind Mark Sanchez.

JETS fan are divided with this trade. Some believe Sanchez can be that franchise quarterback that the JETS organization just paid ($40 mil/3 yrs) to be. The others, including myself, believe that acquiring Tebow can only make the organization better. I see this Tebow/Sanchez drama unfolding two ways; 1) With Tebow being on the team, Sanchez will have to get his game up to keep his starting position. or 2) Tebow becomes the starting quarterback and he makes the NY JETS a real threat.

Now that we are caught up, let us talk about the real story behind this Tebow trade and it is not football. If you have not noticed, Tim Tebow is a hot hottie and Mark Sanchez is not so bad himself. So as a fan of 'talent', the NY JETS are quite talented.

Read on to see more pictures, info and twitter handles for Sanchez and Tebow. Here is mine to start, @DefineLust, if you're not already following.
