I Monster

First time I’ve heard I Monster was in the BBC Program Changing Rooms.

It was playing Daydream in Blue and I was impressed with that song. I went fast to google to find what band was responsible for that sound.

Videoclips… no way. I found one in you tube a few days ago but it was removed.

I Monster is a british electronic group. They formed in 1997, but it was not until 2001 that they released their first single, Daydream in Blue.

There’s not a bunch of material of the band, you can find some in their website which by the way has a very conceptual and cool design.

Enjoy the video Hey Mrs!

Tales from Brazil I

Once he was leaving his grandfather’s house and suddently a middle age man came to him, crying a river and talking desperately.

He said his father had just had a heart attack, he’s called an ambulance but it didn’t come. So he put his father on the backseat of a taxi, parked a few meters away.

He told him that during the journey, he said to the driver he couldn’t affort the ride because he was very poor.

The taxi stopped and the driver said he was not going anywhere without payment. It was just a street away from the grandfather’s house. The desperate guy needed money to assure his father’s life.

Modeling

Being an Economist - and a Fashion Designer as well - is nice.

Besides, I’m having lot’s of fun on being a model - the joys of having a very talented photographer hubby… we love to make some shooting sessions in our spare time.

A friend liked them so much and asked us for shooting the pictures for her new catalog of products. We already started the shots, but it’s still a secret…

I will share some of our other pictures. Looking forward to know my friend’s opinion.

This one is from yesterday. I’m wearing my new stripe blouse from Zara.

The blue atmosphere was created by making some home made lighting effects (a transparent green plastic over the light, hahaha).

This one is also from yesterday, but the green plastic is over the flash of the camera…

This was shot some weeks ago, very clean atmosphere. Stripes again - I love stripes!

At last, one of my favourite shots ever - me, shaking my hair. This could be used in an IPod ad!

You can see more pictures from our shooting sessions on my hubby’s Flickr - Spotlights on Anna.

She was never bored because she was never boring

Last Friday I went to Sao Paulo to get my american visa.

The night before I was playing with my IPod and that music was such an inspiration… I always liked Pet Shop Boys, but at that night I was quite nostalgic and the music Being Boring really touched me. Specially the beginning of the video clip before the music starts…

I came from New Castle in the North of England. We used to have lots of parties where everyone got dressed up. And on one party invitation was the quote “She was never bored because she was never boring“. The song is about growing up - the ideals that you have”.
