Comfortable in her skin

Posted on January 18, 2012 by pourya

We have all seen the image and witnessed the controversy it has aroused in the Iranian online community during the past 24 hours. Well, that image is nothing compared to what you see in the related spot directed by Par Jean-Baptiste Mondino!

The video cannot be shown at the moment. Please try again later.

As you surely know by know, I am a hardline supporter of any step towards a sexual emancipation of women in our culture. Women, just like men, should be allowed to feel comfortable in their skin. So you know where I stand when it comes to Golshifteh Farahani choosing to exposing her body, specially when the nudity is tastefully displayed. I salute this young woman for her brave heart. What I can not understand however is why she is the only one whose nipples are shown?!! Or the only one who shows her nipples!?

Cutting edge Club Electronica

Posted on October 22, 2011 by pourya

The UK-based duo NERO have such cutting edge to their CLUB ELECTRONICA that they make DAFT PUNK sound decade old (even though it’s hard not to see and hear the Frenchmen’s influence)! The singles have promised a lot through the past year but I’m glad to hear that the album delivers exactly that and a lot more.

Its easy to get greedy when you are in the DANCE music industry and release an album full of sloppy fillers, but NERO are perfectionists who have polished the tiniest sound element and put the collection on the highest end. Its ambiently dark and sinister, yet lit up by flickering fluorescent POP.

This ambition plus clever music video and album cover concepts, together make “Welcome Reality” one of the best albums of the year. If not the best! The following song has no official video, to my knowledge, but it’s one of my favourites on the album. Perfect blend of retro and futuristic features.

RIP iCon …

Posted on October 5, 2011 by pourya

If you have been reading my blog these past few years then you know what a source of inspiration Steve Jobs has been for me, needless to say I am truly sad this morning … he will be dearly missed but his legacy will always remain!

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Rest in peace iCon …

Back in the bunny days

Posted on October 4, 2011 by pourya

I have been so busy with work that I have managed to miss the premier of the new NBC drama series “The Playboy Club” which tries to recreate the golden days of Playboy. You know, the time when Hef still had some class and dignity and Playboy was about natural beauty and glamour.

Long gone are those days, unfortunately, but we have a chance to experience them through this Mad Men-style dramatization. Even starring my lovely Amber Heard. Which makes me missing out on the whole first three episodes even more unforgivable! Shame on me! Anyway, now you know how bizarrely busy I am these days … bizarrely busy, even for bunnies!
