He comes around the bend again:

It is a challenge to try and achieve full length pictures on your webcam when you own a curious dog.

  A dreamy Cover story centered around ever desiring Eve in the garden of Eden, is both pleasing and sinful.

  Also an interesting interview inside,with the Designer that doesn't cease to surprise in his transcendent style. Whether it's his signature Clothing;his Reebok and Good Earth collaborations; taking Indian fashion to Paris or leaving his effective mark at Paco Rabanne.

  This time around though the subject of discussion is yet another one of his contributions, an exquisite yet trendy enamel Jewellery line for heritage Indian Jewellers, Amrapali.

Mr Manish Arora,your work defines the idiosyncrasies of Modern India.

Stay

Meet Ernesto "Che" Guevara D'Almeida (A.k.a: Chocos)

A furry; fidgety and clearly bonkers new addition to my life.

Think my dog belongs in a motion picture, sure can't get him to stay still.

 It has been a while since my first post although i still haven't made an introduction of myself,so here is my hardly brief insight.

 Fashion; Food & Music intrigue me endlessly. I am a earnest nature lover who lives to be surrounded by flora fauna and flavors.
When I'm not cooking up a storm, I'm most probably smiling my way out of a bargain.
i have tried to maintain certain principles that are relevant to every one of my interests, hence i always shop cheap, eat hearty and groove till the cows come home.
Until next time...
Love,Pearl.

We shot a couple of pictures for the editorial at this little boy's house in the village. Not a squeak from him all day, "Moy" being the only word he said to me it means kiss in Khasi. With a little help from his mom who translated his intentions, he did get his way. 

 At the playground as the shoot progressed we spotted a home made truck, not many of us city kids can brag about this. Such amazing detail, the boy in pink couldn't help but follow it around.
