Welcome to DIESEL ISLAND!!!

Diesel bought an Island!!! Here watch the video...

Welcome to Diesel Island, "the least fucked up country in the world. But give us time."

We at Diesel, have a stupid dream.
What would it be like to start a nation from scratch?
To take what is great from the countries we know and ditch what is bad.
To re-white the laws. To right social wrongs.
A country for only the brave.

-Instead of conquering an island by killing the natives,
We decided simply to buy it.
(Besides, have you seen the price of weapons these days?)

Here are some photos from Diesel's new advertisement campaign:

The Official Be Stupid Philosophy

Well, this is not something new, but I feel like sharing!! :) cool philosophy :):) wait for my next post about Diesel, which is something new for the ones who didnt hear about it yet!! ;)

Frida Kahlo

Frida is visiting us in Istanbul now and I ran to Pera museum to see her art!!!

As we all probably know, she is a famous mexican painter. Out of her 143 paintings, 55 are self portraits which expresses her pain physically and psychologically. She suffered lifelong health problems, mainly caused by a traffic accident in her teenage years. She had numerous operations and this caused her to turn her attention away from the study of medicine to begin a full time painting career. She is very passionate and in love with her husband Diego Rivera who is another famous Mexican painter and she expresses this love in her paintings. She is colorful despite her pain, reflecting the colorful Mexican culture.

She is melancholic, but yet colorful, painful, complicated and passionate. Sometimes surrealist in her paintings, but says she reflects her reality in her paintings not her dreams.

I find her very interesting. She doesn't care about her hair at all on her face, she doesn't remove her hair at all, but with all these colorful huge flowers she puts on her hair and with her super colorful dresses, she also proves that she has a feminine and colorful soul. She is how she is: neutral! She is a combination of pain, passion and color.

just like in this self-portrait of herself, she painted her husband's portrait on her forehead, expressing that Diego is always in her thoughts...

This is one of my favorite:

The bride frightened at seeing life opened, 1943.

You can visit the exhibition until 20 March 2011. This is in between must-do's if you are in Istanbul.

After seeing her exhibition, I really felt like putting sconce flowers on my hair. Why are we afraid of being too colorful sometimes? She knows how to celebrate life despite all her pain, so should we!

I think besides her artistic career, she is a style-icon. And even more, sconce flowers are very trendy this year, do not hesitate to be like her!;)

Love to everyone,

Milanoya donus........

Aylar sonra Milanoya donusumde, bir turist gibi oturmus Madonninada kahvemi icip arkadasimi beklerken,tekrar oraya donmemin verdigi heyecanla duygu yuklenmis olmaliyim ki bir kenara bunlari karalamisim...Sizlerle paylasmamda bir sakinca yok bence:)

Ve iste tekrar Milanodayim!Hayatimin en keyifli, en doyurucu, en buyutucu zamanlarimin gectigi sokaklarda..Madonninamda oturdum, caffe Americanomu yudumluyorum keyifle..Dunyanin dort bir yanindan insanlarin onumden gecip gitmelerini izliyorum..cesit cesit, sik sik insanlar akiyor onumden...Milanom!Benim icin ne kadar onemlisin bir bilsen...Beni buyuttun, beni guldurdun, beni aglattin, beni asik ettin,bana neler kattigini bir bilseydin..Her gulun dikeni var, bana zorluklarda yasattin, ama bana actigin vizyon, bana yasattigin keyif paha bicilmez benim icin!Seni oldugun gibi seviyorum Milanom iyi ve kotu taraflarinla bir butun olarak...

Sehirler askim olsaydi, New York hep benim kalbimin tahtinin sahibi.. o benim tutkulu askim..Ama guven ve sureklilikse aradigim, Milano bana daha cok guven ve keyif veriyor..NY cok sehvetli ve tutkulu, Milano ise daha sefkatli...Milanonun daha aliskanlik yapan,yasadikca kendine baglayan bir hali var. Belki de bundandir bilmiyorum, 4yil yasadikca ben bu sehre baglandim, Milano bende aliskanlik yaptin!seni tanidikca sevdim ben... Simdi ruyalarimdasin, umarim arada hep bulusuruz ve bu dostlugumuz omur boyu surer Milanom!

Istanbul ise bir pirlanta ama daha yontulmasi gereken bir pirlanta. Burda yasamakda ayri bir keyif, beni destekleyen, guven veren bir sehir. kendimi iyi hissettigim, ailem ve arkadaslarima yakin oldugum yer. buyuleyici, sana cok kapilar acan bir sehir.. ah bide trafigide olmasa!!!!!

Onemli olan nerede yasadigin degil, yasadigin her yerde mutlu olabilmektir aslinda..

Greetings
