I think my boyfriend is going to love this ties by Coto.
I do love them.

Creo que a mi chico le van a encantar estas corbatas de Coto.
A mí me encantan desde luego...

I've scanned some images from the book "World Textiles: A Visual Guide to Traditional Techniques" by John Gillow and Bryan Sentance.
So antique and so contemporary at the same time!













He escaneado algunas imágenes del libro "Tejidos del Mundo: Guía visual de las técnicas tradicionales" escrito por John Gillow y Bryan Sentance.
Tan antiguos y tan actuales al mismo tiempo...

When I grow older I would love to be like Alexander Girard (at least a tiny bit). So much talent concentrated in one human being!
Cuando sea mayor me gustaría ser -aunque sea solo un poquito- como Alexander Girard. ¡Cuanto talento concentrado en un solo ser humano!

*Curators Mery and Amanda Cuesta have organized at Centro de Cultura Contemporánea de Barcelona "Quinquis de los 80: Cine, prensa y calle" an art exhibition about spanish "kink" counterculture and gangs in the eighties.
Tonight I'm attending to the vernissage at CCCB.
Below some images from the exhibition and here a Las Grecas music video, gorgeous!









**Mery y Amanda Cuesta han comisariado una exposición en el Centro de Cultura Contemporánea de Barcelona llamada Quinquis de los 80: Cine, prensa y calle.
Si quereis ver a El Torete y sus secuaces en acción una vez más esta expo es una oportunidad de oro!
Esta noche es la inauguración en el CCCB, en el post pego algunas imágenes de la expo para que vayais abriendo boca y en este link el video de "Te estoy amando locamente" de Las Grecas!

*On 1967 Johannes Larsen designed this adjustable cushion.
It's just my type of transforming furniture! I think my cat would love it as well...
Have a nice day!





**Adoro este cojín desplegable diseñado por Johannes Larsen en 1967.
Es justo el estilo de mobiliario informal/transformer que me gusta. Creo que mi gato se lo pasaría muy bien con él también.

¡Buenos días!

*Yesterday spent the day in Cadaqués, a well-known catalan fishing village near France. Five minutes far from this small town, at Port Lligat bay you can visit Salvador Dali's former house.
We spent a great day in such a beautiful village!
Below some pictures + have a nice Sunday!











**Ayer pasamos un dia precioso en Cadaqués. Un pueblecito pescador situado en la Costa Brava catalana, muy cerca de Francia; donde Salvador Dalí tenía su casa con vistas.
Aqui teneis algunas fotos. Si teneis la oportunidad, no dudeis en visitarlo!
Feliz domingo.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

**Después de mucho pensarlo hoy pop-pervert.com comenzará a ser un blog bilingue! Me hace ilusión escribir también en mi lengua materna y también así llegar a más hispanoparlantes ;)

Selgas Cano is an architecture bureau based in Madrid. They have built this amazing space to be used as their office.
Gorgeous!

Kyle Field draws and makes music.
Little Wings' "Soft Pow'r" is among my favourite records all time. Beautifully lo-fi. Soulful songs with indie spirit, great at nights.
K Records (the label from other of my favourite persons in the music world -Calvin Johnson-) releases his albums.
Before Little Wings he had a band together with M.Ward called Rodriguez.

Here some of his drawings and videos...

I've fallen in love with several dresses thinking about the summer...

Last week one of my Facebook friends shared the link from Sachiko Kanaizumi's portfolio.
Did I tell you how I adore platypuses?
Happy world peace meditation day!

Tonight is Barcelona's "nuit blanche".
All the museums for free from 7PM until 1AM.
I love this kind of events.
Free culture for everyone!
See you at Macba admiring their new acquisitions by Constant Nieuwenhuys.

Below some drawings I made time ago.











**And two new features/interviews, one in english another in spanish.

Son of Rambow is a fresh independent comedy, one of the best movies I've seen recently.

Miranda Lehman takes beautiful photographs.

Kaleidoscope is a free contemporary art magazine of great quality distributed all across Europe.
This magazine is one of the parts of a multi-layered project by an italian publishing house with the same name.
I got the first printed issue in Berlin but you can find it in a lot of places/cities (has 400 points of distribution) or you can visit their website and download it.
Art is great when reaches as much people as possible :)

Starstyling is a super contemporary fashion design shop in Berlin.
Love the clothes, love the "jungle touch" on the interior design, the colours...





When I went to the shop it made me remember of my first time in the city. I went to visit a friend and we ended with some friends in a backyard buying rock-star inspired bracelets from a couple while a DJ was spinning electronic records, people were relaxing and enjoying the afternoon while drinking fresh beer. Was it 2004? Or 2005?
I still have that bracelet, it's been my "key-wristlet" for years, it's by Starstyling.

I'm finally back in Barcelona, the Berlin adventure was great, the city is in bloom, full of vegetation, flowers and even giant mushrooms in the middle of Mitte!!
Below there's a small selection of pictures I took during the trip.
I'll be posting more in detail about the berliner escape soon :)

After sooooooooooooo much work in my life I'm taking a rest to visit one of my favourite cities in the world, BERLIN!!
Arty, Bohemian, Cheap, Dazzling , Effervescent, Fantastic, Gorgeous, Hip... I could name the whole ABC with beautiful words to describe the city...

Took the decision two days ago, now I'm packing and tomorrow morning I'll be on my way to Prenzlauer Berg!
If you know any berliner activity you want to share with me, drop me a line, I'll be on my laptop happy to read it :)

When I'm back I'll keep you posted about my finds on the city, meanwhile I want to share an amazing early Kraftwerk video to get in a german mood...



See you in 8 days!

My boyfriend and I were totally hypnotized yesterday looking at Jarvis Cocker building his own name with volumetric letters.
Simple and addictive! On that same page you can listen to"Angela" his new single, really bowiesque in my opinion...
