Olympia Le-Tan's world

A Picky Freak with great taste and talent and more importantly her own universe. I love her blog, the well-named Olympia Press.

(My own) 1001 Rules for My Unborn Son

I still enjoy that blog, I submitted some rules, then thought I should just post them myself!
I was always taught that copying was complimenting...

So here is my first own Rule.

1/ Carry your own luggage (if JFK Junior did it, so can you...)

My Parents Were Awesome

My friend Claire sent me this great blog, a very well curated collage of anonymous family photos.

In'ei raisan

I just started a new blog entitled In'ei raisan and posted at: http://ineiraisan.tumblr.com/

This Guy Bourdin image won't help you understand what it's about, even though it is featured there as well, but the title might be explicit for some. If anyone wants to guess or knows what this other blog is precisely about, please post a comment here.

1001 Rules for My Unborn Son

A very amusing blog.

Advertising

As a kid I loved watching advertising films, maybe more so than classic children movies. Some commercials from the 1980s have left me a strong impression. These films mesmerized me, like a window into a glamorous adulthood. I remember very vividly two in particular:
-the 1980 (I was 4!) Nestlé Dessert chocolat ad where images alternated between a couple shown in Chinese shadows and chocolate melting over a brioche with a rapid raspy music like a cooking whisk on a drum (as shown above)
-the 1982 Heineken film featuring Robert Palmer's music, where the women looked just so self-assured and strong. I think this film became quite culte although it's almost impossible to find it online..(see link)
I realize now how sensual these were for the time..

Picky support

A Picky Freaks friend shows support by sending me regularly what she calls "presque Picky" ("almost Picky") postcards and notes. She is quite the educated eye, her interest is very flatering.

Art & Commerce

If you are fed up with the all automated banks we have nowadays, where answering services have replaced humans; If you are fed up with outrageous fees charged on every operation on your account; If you are fed up of waiting in line to deposit your check with other gloomy looking individuals; Then open an account with the Banque Vincent Bergerat! It's probably the very last privately owned bank in the world. The BVB promises to use your money well and in amusing ways. The BVB has no hotline, no monthly statements, no account numbers, no offices or agency (oh and your money can never be redeemed)! The perfect bank.
