Cuando comence a escribir MIS MAS INTIMOS SECRETOS, tenia muy claros todos los detalles que conforman la belleza exterior, empezando con la alimentacion, ya que es de suma importancia, no solo para estar saludables, sino tambien para asegurar una belleza que se vera reflejada de manera espectacular, desde el cabello, hasta la punta de nuestros pies. Sin embargo, algo en mi interior lanzaba una voz que me recordaba que no existe belleza exterior sin belleza interior. En otras palabras, no importa cuanto cuidado le demos a nuestra persona si nos olvidamos de la parte mas importante, nuestro Yo interno, nuestra esencia y espiritu. Mi slogan dice: "La verdadera belleza empieza de dentro hacia fuera. Comienza por alimentar tu espiritu, y cualquier procedimiento de belleza que te realices, sera un exito." Marco Mounier's"

Dandies: Fashion and Finesse in Art and Culture considers the visual languages, politics, and poetics of personal appearance. Dandyism has been most closely associated with influential caucasian Western men-about-town, epitomized by the 19th century style-setting of Oscar Wilde and by Tom Wolfe's white suits. The essays collected here, however, examine the spectacle and workings of dandyism to reveal that these were not the only dandies. On the contrary, art historians, literary and cultural historians, and anthropologists identify unrecognized dandies flourishing among early 19th century Native Americans, in Soviet Latvia, in Africa, throughout the African-American diaspora, among women, and in the art world.

Moving beyond historical and fictional accounts of dandies, this volume juxtaposes theoretical models with evocative images and descriptions of clothing in order to link sartorial self-construction with artistic, social, and political self-invention. Taking into consideration the vast changes in thinking about identity in the academy, Dandies provides a compelling study of dandyism's destabilizing aesthetic enterprise.

We've all had those moments. The ones where you look in the mirror and nothing feels ok looking back at you. For Anita Bhagwandas, this started when she was a child growing up in South Wales, and it created an enduring internal torment about her looks.

We're all told that this sadness is just part of 'being a woman'. We're encouraged to obsess over it and go to any length to change it, but we're also ordered to 'just love ourselves' from every corner of the internet. But what if there was another way out of the beauty myth? In Ugly, Anita uncovers where these beauty standards started, unpicks why they've been perpetuated and unmasks how they're still being upheld.

It is time to finally break free from those limiting beauty standards, because feeling ugly has nothing to do with us.

This title is a documentary on the lives of 'previously disadvantaged' but presently determined, 'previously oppressed' but presently overcoming individuals. It is about the dignity to be found in the dusty streets of South Africa's shack-lands. While these people obviously don't take pleasure in the poverty they live in, they stand proud in the face of it. These are people who are doing the best they can with the little they have and, in the process, coming up with something aesthetically unique and fresh to offer the world.
