The Museum of Ice Cream

Oh, this is a museum i would spend hours in. The Museum of Ice Cream has to be a really sensory experience which brings you back to your childhood and to your sweetest dreams. Who hasn't thought about a giant pool with candy where you can eat as many as you can? Well, there's a gorgeous sprinkle pool at the installation, though i think you can't eat them.

This gorgeous idea first started out in New York and now has opened in LA, four times bigger than the the original one, and it's been sold out for weeks now. And who wouldn't want to go? This is not only a place where you can be a kid again but the fun exhibits and the dreamy and colorful rooms make it for an instagram overdose of happiness. This must be such an amazing experience that i would love if they brought it in Europe though i doubt it. I would definitely go no matter the place because i would enjoy it a lot, and not only because of the many gorgeous instagrams i would take.

Behind the cut i posted a bunch of delish pics of this ode to ice cream that is really something else. I really envy anyone who's able to go.

Selena Gomez' 'Fetish' Music Video Directed by Petra Collins

Selena Gomez has released a new song which are not news to me because i don't really follow her music (no shade intended) but the music video is directed by Petra Collins, so there she got my attention.

As you know, i really follow and love Collins' work and lately it seems that these two are collaborating a lot, as Petra photographed Selenita for Wonderland Magazine, and they really seem to work things out pretty nicely and good. In the video, Selena sings about some old love that keeps coming back while she's desperate at home trying (i think) not to go back to him. From ripping her tights or tying up her tongue, to eating glass, soap, lipstick, whatever not to yearn for that love, for a kiss of that love, that tongue. She's so hot about it, she even gets into the cooler. The vid is full of really Petra Collins-esque images, and i always adore her style and signature photography, and the song is not bad at all, infact i have it on my mind ever since i watched the vid.

So enjoy this new Collins-Gomez collab and check out some pics the photographer took on set as well as come stills of the vid. After the cut!

Lana del Rey's 'Lust for Life'

Lana del Rey is back with, in my opinion, her best album since her debut 'Born To Die'. Her sophomore album 'Honeymoon' was alright too but i'm really loving 'Lust For Life' a lot. Truth is, it totally has Lana de Rey's signature's sound, but the lyrics, the melodic songs, have something else despite some tracks sounding exactly like she always does. And while 'Ultraviolence' was a little too dark for me, i think with her latest album she's back to her good old self.

Songs like 'Tomorrow Never Came', a beautiful heartfelt duet with Sean Ono Lennon that sounds exactly like a Beatles song and transports you to that era, or cool hip songs like 'Summer Bummer' feat. A$AP Rocky & Plaiboi Carti that makes it for the perfect Summer anthem, thing that she's such a mastermind for. And another thing she's perfect at is at writing heartbreak songs like 'White Mustang' with vocals where you can really feel her pain, just like in 'Cherry' or '13 Beaches', she's simply the heartbreak queen.

So, below i have added some of my fave songs from this really excellent album that i feel it's gonna be the soundtrack of the Summer, just like 'Born To Die' was so many Summers ago now. Enjoy.

Nicole Kidman by LOVE Magazine

Nicole Kidman is red hot on the cover of the LOVE Magazine #18 issue photographed by Carin Backoff and Sally Lyndley and she has just turned 50!

The photoshoot spread is simply fantastic, we get to see a fun and flirty Nicole that looks like time hasn't passed for her (despite the botox, which i think she has laid off a bit) and infact, she looks better than ever. And not only the photos are great but i think there's a little wink to this scene of 'To Die For', one of my fave Kidman films, where Nicole's character dances in the rain in a blue/lilac polka-dot dress, just like the one she wears in the pics before the cut, but i could be wrong and just be a mere coincidence.

 But well, as we wait for 'The Beguiled' (yeah, it hasn't opened here yet) and the many other interesting projects she has coming like, 'The Killing Of A Sacred Deer', 'How To Talk To Girls At Parties' or 'Top of The Lake's Season 2, let's enjoy this gorgeous shoot of flirty and fun cowgirl Kidman. More after the cut!

Game of Thrones' Season 6's Best Moments & Scenes

Season 6 of 'Game of Thrones' was literally ice and fire and had some very important moments that cannot be missed. So, as this Sunday Season 7 premieres and as i didn't do my usual Best Moments and Scenes post last year, what better way to get ready for the new one than to do it now. So, catch up with S6's best Moments and Scenes as there are quite a few. There are entire episodes in this because the season was absolutely amazing. Check them all out after the cut!

 

Starting things chronologically, because there's no other way, the first moment that really touched my heart had to be when Sansa in 'The Red Woman' (6x01), as she finally escapes from Ramsay with the help of Theon and encounters Brienne and Podrick. She finally allows Brienne to pledge her loyalty to her and protect her with her life, and Sansa knows if the had listened to her before and hadn't trusted Littlefinger, she wouldn't have fallen in Ramsay's hands and she wouldn't have been tortured and raped by him. And Brienne is finally happy to vow to Sansa as she promised to do so to Catelyn Stark.

Oona Laurence, the new Sofia girl

Oona Laurence is 14, she's petite and she's one of the "vengeful bitches" of Sofia Coppola's new film 'The Beguiled', so it's good to keep an eye on her for the things to come.

I've only seen her in 'Orange is The New Black' before playing young Tiffany aka Pennsatucky but she seems to be quite the revelation from the young talent that 'The Beguiled' has. She also played Matilda on Broadway so we're talking about a rising star in the making here. I still have to wait for an entire month to watch the film so in the meantime enjoy this beautiful and fun photoshoot by Danielle Kosann for The New Potato and also, the fun 'Hamilton' vid the cast did starring Miss Laurence for a charity cause. And check out the rest of the pretty photos after the cut!

Music Monday (HAIM, Arcade Fire, Kesha, Kid Wise & Hidrogenesse)

Music Monday post! Here are some songs that i've had on repeat for some time now so enjoy!

Haim - Want You Back
The Haim sisters are back and her new single and vid are amazing. The choreographed music video is fantastic and the song one of the ones that really stands out from their new album. I have to give it a few more listens but this song is the one i liked best, for now. I had to post the vid because i loved it.

Arcade Fire - Creature Comfort

This song is pure fire. After 'Everything Now' that kinda gave us 'Reflektor' vibes but this new track is amazing. I didn't expect much from the new album but after this song my body is ready.

Kesha - Praying

I've always loved fun Kesha, she's got really strong hits like 'Tik Tok' or 'Die Young' but this new track after all she's gone through is really touching and emotional. The lyrics and the music are really beautiful and tearing and she has really done a really great track. And she can really sing.

Kid Wise - Hope

I discovered this song waiting to see Hidrogenesse live and it's really catchy and it only gets better. It's an oldie but it's worth listening because it lightens up your mood and makes you want to dance.

Hidrogenesse - El árbol

And while seeing Hidrogenesse live, this song really caught my attention because of the lyrics. Yeah, it's in Spanish but i could not add it here because it really touched me deep so here it is.

Game of Thrones for Time Magazine

 This amazing photoshoot was released last week but i just could not post it here. Photographed by Miles Aldridge, the main cast of 'Game of Thrones' looks awesome in these new photos that makes us even more anxious about the upcoming Season 7. And talking about the new season, later this week i will make my usual recap of the season to get ready for the new one so keep an eye on that. But in the meantime, let's enjoy this really flamboyant photos from our fave characters on the show, as usual, more after the cut!

TLC's 'Deluxe'

TLC are back! The last time they released an album was in 2002 with '3D' and there they included some vocals by late member Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes, but now with 'Deluxe', i think it's the first time they are releasing something by themselves.

Sure it was a really a really hard blow when Lisa Lopes, their most popular and probably, talented member, tragically passed away, and it has been a really hard test for them to keep going as a band, because all three fitted so well together. 'CrazySexyCool' is one of my fave albums and as the title states, each of them had something different that made their three member girlband something unique. From their voices to their personalities, TLC were the biggest girlband in the world and not too long ago were still the most selling girlband ever.

So now what happens with 'Deluxe' where T-Boz and Chilli are by themselves without their most iconic member? The result is not bad. There are songs that are really not bad though not something great, they even have a collaboration with Snoop Dogg, but there are a few ones that really evoke TLC's old glory days and are really really worth listening. Songs about positive feedback as they always do, with tracks like 'Haters' and 'Perfect Girls' or true friendship and missing old dear peers like 'Start a Fire' and 'American Gold', these songs remind me to the TLC i loved back when i was a teenager. So, did they pass the test as a duo? I think with tracks like the ones i mentioned and those meaningful lyrics, they're on the way. So, decide by yourself and take a listen to them below or check out the album here.

Gus Van Sant's Polaroids

 Gus Van Sant released this book in 1992, a series of portraits of actors, artists and musicians he had taken with his Polaroid camera, and considering the decade and the models, the result is pretty much iconic, and it only gets grander with time.

From River Phoenix, to Patricia Arquette, Nicole Kidman or rising stars at the beginning of their careers like a young Keanu Reeves, Renée Zellweger, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Steve Buscemi, to Patricia Clarkson, Stephen Baldwin, Drew Barrymore and Matt Dillon, including the cast of 'Twin Peaks' during early days of the filming. Every photo looks amazing and owning this book must be something great, because there are a lot more of Polaroids inside. Enjoy the few that i have found and already named, after the cut!

Pretty Little Liars' Series Finale

(Spoilers!)
It's been seven years ever since we were first introduced to Aria, Hannah, Spencer and Emily during that night in the barn were they last saw Alison DiLaurentis before vanishing, and after that a lot happened.

During the 'Gossip Girl' era the show used cellphone blasts to keep the girls chained to their cells at any time and during any moment in a mysterious case of texts that they were receiving where it seemed that their late friend Alison came back from the dead and was punishing them. But for sure the foursome had a lot of enemies: Jenna as she lost her vision after they pranked her, Spencer's sister Melissa, as her little sister had a thing for her boyfriends, Jenna was bullied by Alison in the past, Aria's dad was romantically involved with a student, anything was a good excuse to keep the girls scared and under A.'s conditions. And the show worked like that, as stupid and lame it seemed sometimes, it always kept you wondering.

Until we finally got the reveal of the identity of A. (after learning that Alison was not really dead and that Spencer was her half-sister as her dad had an affair with Mrs. DiLaurentis). We learnt that Alison had another brother besides Jason called Charles, that was jealous of his baby sister from an early age and became so dangerous to her that they had to put him into the Radley where he transitioned into Charlotte and was known by the rest as CeCe Drake to go incognito. And this worked out because Charlotte always wanted to be Alison and wanted everything she had, and therefore, she was punishing her and her friends because of that. That plot twist was excellent and we never ever thought CeCe had any relevance in the show but the whole thing made a lot of sense. But when in Season 6 they jumped 5 years forward and after getting threads again by someone called A.D. it turned out that it was Spencer's evil twin Alex Drake... Well it didn't work out that well. Because the plot of the lost sibling, twin, half-brother/sister had already been overused in the show, and as they really surprised me before with the A. reveal i was expecting more from the series finale. But well, it's 'Pretty Little Liars' so i cannot really complain.

If i always liked something from the show it's all the nosense it had. Like, it was dumb but fun to watch and intriguing at the same time, and you grow to love the girls a lot. I will be sure missing to see the show and maybe some day i will re-watch everything again, but it was a fun ride these seven years. I wonder what my next guilty pleasure it's going to be.
