VOGUE´S PIG

Instead of featuring a sultry female to showcase adornments, the ‘Jewellery’ Vogue Russia September 2010 spread has a piglet do the job.

Cats have been a rising force in fashion over the past years, clawing their way into the top campaigns and editorials, and squirming (as illustrations) onto the fanciest clothes in the world. Fashion not only wanted to wear cats, but to be seen by and with cats. After all that hard work the cats did getting famous and landing at the cusp of fully eradicating the stigma of crazy cat ladies, a new threat emerges: the pig. The eyeliner-wearing, eyelash-batting pig. The last issue of Russian Vogue edited by Aliona Doletskaya prior to her resignation includes a saucy little thing flaunting Chopard diamond earrings

DEEP THROAT

Deep Throat is a 1972 American pornographic film written and directed by Gerard Damiano (listed in the credits as "Jerry Gerard") and starring Linda Lovelace (the pseudonym of Linda Susan Boreman).

One of the first pornographic films to feature a plot, character development and relatively high production standards, Deep Throat earned mainstream attention and launched the "porn chic" trend despite the film being banned in some regions and the subject of obscenity trials.

Deep Throat was glowingly reviewed by Al Goldstein in Screw magazine on June 5, 1972. It officially premiered at the World Theater in New York on June 12 and was advertised in The New York Times under the bowdlerized title "Throat".

The film's popularity helped launch a brief period of upper-middle class interest in explicit pornography referred to by Ralph Blumenthal of The New York Times as "porno chic". Several mainstream celebrities admitted to having seen Deep Throat, including Truman Capote,Jack Nicholson and Johnny Carson. Barbara Walters mentions having seen the film in her autobiography.

MOVIE PLOT⬊

A sexually frustrated woman (Linda Lovelace, credited as playing "herself") asks her friend Helen (played by Dolly Sharp) for advice on how to achieve an orgasm. After a sex party provides no help, Helen recommends that Linda visit a doctor (Harry Reems). The doctor discovers that Linda's clitoris is located in her throat, and after helping her develop her oral sex skills the infatuated Linda asks him to marry her. When he informs her that she can settle for a job as his therapist, performing her particular oral technique–thereafter known as "deep throat"–on various men, until she finds the one to marry. Meanwhile, the doctor documents her exploits while repeatedly having sex with his nurse (Carol Connors). The movie ends with the line 

"The End. And Deep Throat to you all."

If the shoe fit, YOU ARE... by ACHRAF AMIRI

Achraf Amiri, born in Brussels in 1988, is a young creative-minded person who loves to express himself in various artistic ways, especially by illustration. 

On is own words he says " I'm a lot inspired by the different emotions a man can have in his live. All is about evolution and periods in my art. I guess that you can follow this very well. The "Superficial World" as I call it, inspires me too. It's what us society communicate with us and that I translate it in a deeper level to make understand the real velours of life. Fashion is one of this thematic I use for example. My philosophy is: "Enjoy your life and be curious, but ask always yourself about what is good or bad"

" I am the hidden son of the Addams Family "
