I've been on a real magazine kick lately. I've been continuously reading and being inspired by the depth of musicians and actors. Mr. West is no exception. Check out his cover for the Complex issue coming next month and read his interview. Very interesting.
I really think it’s because society tries to dictate the way a guy is supposed to dress and the way a guy is supposed to act, and I refuse to conform. A lot of these dudes would never be accused of being gay just because they all look exactly alike. If people could just realize the amount of mundaneness and followers that lack creativity…
Ben Affleck is an amazing guy. Not only is he gorgeous to look at, but he's extremely talented. A director, actor, and father. I feel like he's so much more than what we see on TV and in tabloids and he proved that in this interview from Esquire.
I have a soft spot for musicians. If a man could ride this roller coaster with me and come out alive, then I guess we'd deserve each other's company. But I don't really have the right energy to be with somebody right now, because when I love somebody, I love somebody. Like, I want to marry them. I don't date around. I haven't been on a date. - Katy Perry on relationships

AT&T understands that a recession is in progress and things must be done. The way to sell items is to ADVERTISE. And they seem to be doing that quite well. They've had ads out internationally, for a while now, which feature hands that are beautifully painted. The hands in the ads are painted to represent different countries where AT&T phones can roam. While I knew about the ads for a while, I just recently learned more about the artist who created them.
The painter's name is Guido Daniele, a genius from Italy. He majored in sculpting at Brera School of Arts and then went abroad to India for some life experience. In 1972, he became a hyper-realistic illustrator. It only made his work less restrained and more creative. Since then, he has gone on to create ads for many different companies, private parties, and events. The man can paint anything and make it look like a Steven Meisel photo.
His fascination for beauty and models started at a young age. He studied at the High School of Art and Design [NYC] and Parsons School of Design [NYC] where he majored in fashion illustration.
One of Meisel's first jobs was to work for fashion designer Halston as an illustrator. Meisel never thought he could become a photographer. Later on, while working at Women's Wear Daily as an illustrator, he went to Elite model agency where two girls working there allowed him take pictures of some of their models. 
Some of these models took their pictures to Seventeen magazine to show their model books and the people at Seventeen subsequently called Meisel and asked if he wanted to work with them.Meisel currently works for many different fashion magazines, including fashion bibles such as US and Italian Vogue, amongst others. He has been the only photographer for Italian Vogue's cover for almost 15 years.
