Inspiring Quotes

Sex and the City


New Line Cinema spokesperson Candice McDonough has confirmed that Sex and the City actress Sarah Jessica Parker, her three co-stars and writer/director Michael Patrick King have signed for another Sex And The City movie, promising...more sex-

The new movie will reunite Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon.

The first Sex and the City movie opened last May, four years after the finale of the HBO TV series, focusing on 'Carrie Bradshaw' and 'Mr. Big', played by actor Chris Noth.

The film earned $152 million in North America and $260 million international.

According to EW's source:

"It's going to be more comedic, and shorter, than the first," says the insider.

Sex and the City 2 would have a 2010 summer release date if they can get approval of everything involved in the filming pretty soon. The idea to make it a 2010 film gives them a lot of time to still work on it, and as the franchise is still a really hot commodity, it is almost guaranteed to make enough to be worth the production costs The ladies are back!

Fafi

About a year ago, I picked up a copy of the french fashion magazine Jalouse and discovered Fafi. The absolute queen of graffiti. Born and raised in Toulouse France, Fafi's strong presence in the graffiti & fine arts scene was 1st witnessed on her hometown walls around 1994. Her images of sexy and liberated girls are now quite disguishable. On walls, in paintings and drawings, her girls: the Fafinettes, can be funny, sexy, aggressive, confronting and suggestive to the viewer. She drew enormous attention and thus started travelling the world with her brushes and paint cans. Her art is found on murals all over the world: the US, Japan, Germany, Belgium, Tunsia, Spain, Portugal, Canada, and Hong Kong.


Soon enough, she would have numerous expositions and collaborations with: Colette, Adidas, LeSportSac, Coca-Cola, M.A.C & countless press stories in magazines like, Vogue, Elle, The Face...

The animation world then grew quite interested in her vision: a creation of a Mark Ronson video ft. a Fafi-ed Lily Allen appeared. Her multi-faceted work can be found in books: GIRLS ROCK (2003) and LOVE AND FAFINESS (2006), both being also succesful prints in museum libraries and selected shops. In 2007, Fafi entered a new phase. Having become a mother and moving to Paris made her introduce a new depth to her creations: Now not only the Fafinettes fly girls, they also run a whole universe of creatures, homes and vehicles :P
