Holidays - Michel Polnareff


Michel Polnareff is a French singer and song writter who was extremely famous from the mid 60s to the 80s in France.
In 1965 he even won a special price from a French specialized rock magazine called "Disco Revue". Unfortunately the magazine disappeared two year after...

The French singer then exiled to USA and eventually go back to his home country after several years away. His career is colourful and he has made tons of hits. Today he is working on his next album.

"Holidays" song was released in 1972 and it is one of my favourite.

malvestida.blogspot.com / Farah Rescalvo interview!


Malvestida is a Mexican fashion blog that published an interview of the designer Farah Rescalvo, who you should know already.

There you go:

Who? Farah Rescalvo
What? Illustrator

1. How long have you been drawing for and how did you know you wanted to work on that?

Ever since I was 4 years old I realized how much I liked drawing. I used to draw with whatever I had in hand and wherever I could, like walls, mirrors and even my parent’s clothes. I guess I’m lucky because it was something innate and I’ve always been in touch with that part of me.


2. How is your creative process most of the time?

I don’t really follow a process; actually the ideas for my illustrations are the representation of my dreams. Everything I draw comes from my heart and mind, mostly when I’m sleeping.


3. Paper or digital?

Paper, always. Nothing more genuine and beautiful than expressing it physically.


4. Do you collect something? What?

Yes, I'm a bit obsessed with Woody Allen’s films, he is my cinematographic idol. Whenever I travel I try to find more of his movies in order to finally complete my collection.


5. What are you going to ask Santa Claus this year?

I think a good supply of Posca markers wouldn’t do any harm.

Holidays

Miami Horror is back with a new video clip "Holidays" to celebrate the hot Australian summer... (I wish I could say the same here down in Europe).
"Holidays" appears on their album entitled Illumination.

The video clip has been released by Krozm and it reflects the perfect summer you would spend with your love in California or Florida.

1984


Some of you will probably know the hit "Somebody's watching me" of Rockwell who is an R&B American artist. He was signed to the Motown label and his song was released on 1984.
The single was a hit in both UK and U.S.

You will notice that the song featured backing vocals by Michael Jackson (chorus).
