ARTIST OF THE MONTH:
THE MAGICAL UNIVERSE OF HEATHER CORINA.

bodies, sensuality and the tabooed esthetics. A genius, a visionary and simply
a woman who dares to be an Eve. Corina or the femme fatale of world
photography.
1.
Renate Aller: BY MAXIMILLIEN DE LAFAYETTE.
She photographs
femme fatales, elegant women, the clouds, inexistent people who make you
think, and the infinity of nothingness. You see it in her shots of lyrical and
nostalgic skies, horizons, clouds, seascapes and ultra modern installations.

GENIUSES OF DANCE AND BALLET. BY
MAXIMILLIEN DE LAFAYETTE. The
Magical and Surreal World of Theatrical Dance and Ballet...The religions of
ancient Greece and Rome are extinct now, but the gods and goddesses of Olympus
are still vibrant in our dreams and fragile hopes. The sublime deities came to
life through poetry, music and dance. They belonged to literature, fantasy,
art and dance. In the firmament of human imagination, they defined their
divine circle, and continued to hold it within the winds...

"Un Je Ne Sais Quoi?". You look at Lyne and the scent of a Parisian Diva of La

Tremblay, and Montmartre, Les Grands Boulevards, the dialogues of Jean...

18.FABULOUS TIMES, PLACES AND PEOPLE.
BY MAXIMILLIEN DE LAFAYETTE.
GAY PARIS IN THE 20s and
30s: Background, People, Places, Personalities, Hospitality,
Restaurants, Food, Wine, Pleasure, Style, Fashion, Arts, Poetry, Music
and Adventure. According to Maximillien de Lafayette. Mon Dieu! To be and live
in Paris during "Les annees folles", between the end of 1917 and 1934,
especially if you were an eccentric artist, an intellectual adventurer,
a frou-frou femme fatale, a genius or an independently wealthy American,
willing to spend a lot of money on arts, dating and women. Ask
Madonna, Paulette Attie, Penelope de Vassy and Louise de
Chambertin. Really "real" America's la crème de la crème was there.
The "real" American high society, the privileged class, the snobs
(Although it was too early for the Americans to know how to be a snob),
les bourgeois, wealth filthy characters, the hustlers with a style, the
scandalous adventurous women, the schmoozer and the cruisers, the
handsome gigolos, the champagne, the caviar, the kisses and the misses,
sex, the drama and all the "chic" pleasures of the era. Hemingway was
here. Paramour Stein too. Why Paris - what made everybody want to come
here and create, and drink, and dance, and paint, and write stories or
invent them? Women? obnoxious, over-cultured and over-sophisticated
Frenchmen? Bubbly champagne? Sinfully good wine? Nice plat de fromage? A
nostalgia? A fantasy? A new social, political and artistic era? A modern
Parisian revolution? Yes! Yes! All of the above!

THE YEAR. Meet Jeremy

Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Delaware North Companies. A brilliant mind,
with dominant leadership and unusual visionary brilliance.
WOMAN OF THE YEAR:
Monica Crowley. BY MAXIMILLIEN DE LAFAYETTE. They
called her so many things and gave her so many "appellations" like an
old Petrus or a Napoleon Cognac. The list goes on ad infinitum. Some
observers see in Monica Crowley "The hottest babe of the Republican
Party". Others dignified her with a tricolor stigma "The First Consul of
the Triumvir", for three ladies, quite often make the big buzz in
Washington and New York: Coulter, Ingraham and Crowley. The Three
Republican Graces. But Crowley shines brighter, smarter and prettier
than all of them.

THE BEST AND THE WORST OF THE YEAR:

The Winners, the Losers, the Turkeys!!
SOCIETY AND LIFESTYLE: Hottest
and Most Talented Women of the Year.
BY MAXIMILLIEN DE LAFAYETTE. We will always talk about the famous and the rich. Wealth and money are
status symbol. When you have money, people think that you know. When you
lose your assets, social power and position, you become yesterday’s
news. You might get lucky and be remembered here and there, but you are
no more a headliner. You become like Australia. Everybody talks about
Australia but nobody wants to visit Australia.

THE SEXIEST, THE
CLASSIEST, THE MOST INFLUENTIAL, THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS, THE FEMMES
FATALES, AND THE MOST FAMOUS WOMEN IN THE COUNTRY!!

MODERN ART IN IRAQ:
BY MAXIMILLIEN DE LAFAYETTE. LEADING FIGURES AND INTERNATIONAL
PERSONALITIES:
No country will ever survive if
its art dies. it the proper time to talk about Iraqi modern art
amidst the turbulent Iraq passage toward new political and social
metamorphoses? Absolutely, for nations were initially born through
the original expressions of individual and shared feelings, ideas,
concepts and ideologies transmitted and illustrated through the
medium of art. Equally true is the survival of nations and the
preservation of their heritage, history and national pride through
art in all its forms and styles.
