I'm A Coal Miner

It’s time to replenish yourself and detoxify your body. All you have to do is eat some coal. I know, go with me on this. The makers of the Kuro Powder Box vow that by including a packet of their Kuro Powder into your diet daily, you’ll isolate toxins in the body and flush them out. You can use it when you bake, in your smoothies, pasta dough, pretty much in anything.

There are no known side effects to eating Kuro Powder.

Broken Embraces, Directed by Pedro Almodóvar

Genius does it again.

"A man writes, lives and loves in darkness. Fourteen years before, he was in a brutal car crash on the island of Lanzarote. In the accident, he not only lost his sight, he also lost Lena, the love of his life. This man uses two names: Harry Caine, a playful pseudonym with which he signs his literary works, stories and scripts, and Mateo Blanco, his real name, with which he lives and signs the film he directs. After the accident, Mateo Blanco reduces himself to his pseudonym, Harry Caine. If he can’t direct films he can only survive with the idea that Mateo Blanco died on Lanzarote with his beloved Lena."

Homage to Grace

VOGUE Creative Director, Grace Coddington is undeniably the glue that holds the magazine together. We finally saw The September Issue, and became totally smitten with Coddington. She is the nice dad to Anna Wintour's mean mommy act. And probably one of the only people willing to step up to the icy editrix. Not to mention, she's totally brilliant.
