The Girl Next Door.»

We want to write our own love stories… be the directors of the fairy tale lives we’ve always dreamed of starring in.

As the years go by, we fantasize… we imagine… and then we dream some more… We dream of being the perfect pair: The Girl Next Door & James Franco - Style. We dream… Until one day…

…we wake up. And we realize we’re doing it all wrong.

That “Always” isn’t always meant to be planned by us. Sometimes, it’s planned for us…

And all we’re supposed to do, is sit back…

…smile… and watch the magic unfold.”

Silent Scream.»

“We will all laugh at gilded butterflies” now that Megan Fox, the face of Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans has teamed up with tennis pro, Rafael Nadal for what may be, one of the sexiest shoots ever. Besides the fact that black and white photography will always remain elegant and timeless, good body positioning, as well as the proper emphasis of the curvature of the human figure are vital in composing the perfect shot. A photograph is perfect if it can make noise. In other words, spark the senses, erect an emotion, and evoke something, anything within the onlooker. These scream S E X. | Spring/Summer 2011 campaign, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott
