前段时间买了一些香水送朋友，kenzo今年推出的新版“竹子”很迷人。青黑色略微弯曲的瓶身非常简洁，一条写意的竹节槛放在瓶身的黄金分割点上。香气清新儒雅，很有东方味。于是到Kenzo的官网上逛了逛，发现今年他推出的主题的灵感完全是中国题材。大幅招帖画的背景，仿佛是桂林山水，模特的服装，也是中国味道十足。选一些照片，放上来。

      雨后的夜晚格外清新迷人，勾起无限思绪......

 

      当一个人的初恋，以情妇的形式出现的时候、当一个人爱着另一个人，但已经知道最终结局的时候、当一个同性爱上另一个同性的时候......最近发生了很多事，本来想写点什么，但面对电脑足足发呆了有一个多小时，真不知道用什么样的文字来表达此时的心情。

 

      我常想，爱是人类的本原之一。但当爱被定义以后，仿佛一切在定义以外的“爱”都成为罪恶之事。那么是“谁”定义的爱呢？“爱”的合去合从到底是什么呢？......

 

      来，听首歌，Leonard Cohen的<Waiting for the Miracle>(为奇迹等待)。我很喜欢的一部电影的插曲，电影是Oliver Stone导演的<Natural Born Killers>(天生杀人狂)。

 

Leonard Cohen - Waiting For The Miracle

 

Lyrics:

 

Baby, I've been waiting,
I've been waiting night and day.
I didn't see the time,
I waited half my life away.
There were lots of invitations
and I know you sent me some,
but I was waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
I know you really loved me.
but, you see, my hands were tied.
I know it must have hurt you,
it must have hurt your pride
to have to stand beneath my window
with your bugle and your drum,
and me I'm up there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.

Ah I don't believe you'd like it,
You wouldn't like it here.
There ain't no entertainment
and the judgements are severe.
The Maestro says it's Mozart
but it sounds like bubble gum
when you're waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.

Waiting for the miracle
There's nothing left to do.
I haven't been this happy
since the end of World War II.

Nothing left to do
when you know that you've been taken.
Nothing left to do
when you're begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do
when you've got to go on waiting
waiting for the miracle to come.

I dreamed about you, baby.
It was just the other night.
Most of you was naked
Ah but some of you was light.
The sands of time were falling
from your fingers and your thumb,
and you were waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come

Ah baby, let's get married,
we've been alone too long.
Let's be alone together.
Let's see if we're that strong.
Yeah let's do something crazy,
something absolutely wrong
while we're waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.

Nothing left to do ...

When you've fallen on the highway
and you're lying in the rain,
and they ask you how you're doing
of course you'll say you can't complain --
If you're squeezed for information,
that's when you've got to play it dumb:
You just say you're out there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.

 

 

今天淘了好多张Arabia Lounge类型的CD，记录几张：

1001 nightsociety - ST
Virgin唱片公司Arabia分部2005年出的一张Lounge House，由著名的Said Mrad制作，相当不错。
Zaman -the Arabian Classics Chillout
virgin公司Arabia分部2005年出品的一张合辑，谜幻、唯美。
Claude Challe Present - New Oriental from the REG Project

Arabia民族氛围很浓的一张Lounge类型的CD，由Buddha bar的主理DJ Claude Challe和REG Project一起完成。Virgin公司Arabia分部2002年出品

这几天从温了一些Lounge类型CD。Man Ray的4张系列，始终是偶的最爱。

Man Ray是巴黎的一家Lounge Bar，由两位好莱坞明星携手打造，一位是John Christopher Depp，另一位是Sean Penn。Bar的装修格调和整体氛围走的是东方路线，（好象在巴黎开设的lounge类bar都喜欢往这上面靠）。 店名源之上个世纪法国著名达达派艺术家及导演man Ray。此人是二十世纪颇有影响的艺术家，欧洲实验电影的先驱之一，但电影作品甚少。Man Ray的音乐较多缘，比起名气更大的Buddha Bar要丰富很多。Bar同样宣扬世界大同、玩乐救世的世界观（好象在西方从摇滚乐诞生开始，这股风潮就没停息过，而且越来越强劲）......
