Sou uma grande f� da marca francesa Zadig & Voltaire h� j� algum tempo, mas agora ando a "persegui-los" uma vez que s�o realmente incr�veis. O que posso dizer sobre esta t-shirt?! Esta tee com guitarras compostas por lantejoulas douradas, costuradas e aplicadas � m�o � a cereja no topo do bolo, depois daquele casaco militar que eu vos mostrei.

Por isso, estou a ficar sem or�amento para acompanhar esta marca, ent�o eu te imploro ZV... desacelere por favor.

Estou pronta para os saldos com o fim de obter este CHAP�U TATTOO ABAYO. Este diabrete foi projetado por Virginia Elwood, uma conceituada tatuadora de Brooklyn e apresenta motivos inspirados na magia, esqueletos, tigres fant�sticos, um mundo de piratas com cr�nios, navios e padr�es florais.

Bem-vindos ao mundo de Zadig & Voltaire.

I�m already a huge fan of the french brand Zadig & Voltaire for a long time, but now I�m stalking them once they are really amazing. What can I say about this fkn t-shirt?! This tee with guitars composed by golden sequins sewed and applied by hand is the cherry on the top of the cake, after that gorgeous military jacket I showed you some time ago.

Therefore I�m running out of budget to keep up with this brand, so I beg you ZV� slow down please.

I�m ready for the sales so that I can achieve the ABAYO TATTOO HAT. This lil� devil is enhanced with an exclusive print, designed by the Brooklyn tattoo artist, Virginia Elwood, and features a circus-inspired motif of magicians, skeletons, fantastic tigers, a pirate world with skulls and ships, and floral patterns.

Welcome to the world of Zadig & Voltaire.

How to style bandana? There are so many ways, you don't need to use it only on the head like in the precious 90's. I had and still have the habit of wearing it on the wrist.

PALM BEACH

Photo: Ivan Garcia

Talvez j� tenham notado que estou um pouco obcecada com o Estado da Florida, inconscientemente compro uma t-shirt quando os meus olhos se fixam nestes prints.

Sou uma apaixonada pela Florida e tamb�m pela Calif�rnia. No entanto, o �nico Estado em que estive nos Estados Unidos foi Nova Iorque, mais concretamente NYC e guardo excelentes recorda��es. Amei Soho, East Village (Manhattan) e assisti a um espet�culo na m�tica sala de concertos Bowery Ballroom, um local alternativo para assistir a m�sica ao vivo. Nunca esquecerei o concerto de Zola Jesus (4.23.11). Espreitem aqui esses dias.

De volta a Palm Beach. Ainda n�o sei para onde vou nas f�rias de ver�o, contudo estou a pensar nisso...

Cuba tamb�m est� na minha mente.

Veremos!

Maybe you�ve already noticed that I'm a little obsessed with the State of Florida, but it's unconscious when I go buy a t-shirt my eyes fixed on its prints.

I'm passionate about Florida and also California. The only State I have been in U.S.A. was New York, more properly NYC and it's really the big apple and incredibly memorable. I loved Soho, East Village (Manhattan) and I attend a concert in Bowery Ballroom, such a cool and mythical place to watch live music concerts. I will never forget the Zola Jesus' show (4.23.11). Check here those days.

Back to Palm Beach. I don't know where I�m going to on my summer vacations yet�but I'm thinking about it...

Cuba is on my mind too.

We'll see!

TO AXL ROSE: THE LETTER WE OWE YOU

written in two voices

It was last week that, in an instant that I froze in my memory forever, I returned to be 12 years old and you were 30 again. It was when, among the crowd in ecstasy, I saw you appear on that giant stage, when your voice made me run back the 25 years that separated our paths, that this feeling of synchrony imposed on everything else. "It's so easy" marked the apotheosis of the entrance and was the beginning of a journey back in time, in my history and in the history of Guns N' Roses.

Because this concert was a piece of history. A story that is shared with many thousands (I fear to fail for modesty) of people around the world, who grew up with your band's songs, who cried and laughed, who learned a little of what life could be. When you are 12 years old, all words seem to matter too much, and those you sang became personal history flags.

Did you know that on a rainy day in November, I started to draw a smile on my face? Can you imagine how often I sang Estranged while I was 28?

The songs succeeded, in a soothing eagerness of those who waited too long. And perhaps because of this, all absences were noticed, too noticed. Despite all the criticisms that are often directed at you Axl, you have been blameless. You asked us if we agreed that the evening was fine and it was enough to have us by your side for the three hours we spent together. 

Do you remember, Axl, when in St. Louis insane hell hit the stage when a guy kept filming you when you asked him to stop? Cameras are so weak at capturing the essence. I couldn�t record the concert, Axl. It was too good and i just couldn�t.

Twenty-five years ago, if my path had crossed yours, I would have also crossed over with Chris Cornell's. Soundgarden was the first band in the concert of Guns N' Roses in the stadium of Alvalade and this time you brought him back to us again. So that we would hear it one more time. And You gave us the smile followed by a shrug, during �Coma�, as you ended the verse "I never really wanted to live" and we remembered that everything that you have passed has not been easy. Deep down, it never was, right Axl? And, maybe that's what brings us so close. This deep empathy with the sufferings of existence. As I once saw in Slash's t-shirt "Life's a bitch and then you die". But it is an existence that also has very good things. Like the concert last week. And it is through them that it makes sense to yell, as often as necessary, the �Get in the ring�. And that is why we ask that this is not the last farewell.

Because that's how you are Axl. Good and bad. Angel and demon. Human and unbearable. And although you did not always receive it in your life, you managed to give us the understanding and support that we needed, you managed to transform into art the toxicity of your life. And it became part of us. The good part of us.

�If you need a shoulder

Or if you need a friend

I'll be here standing

Until the bitter end.�

A carta que te devemos � escrita a duas vozes

Foi na semana passada que, num instante que congelei na minha mem�ria para sempre, eu voltei a ter 12 anos e tu voltaste a ter 30. Foi quando, por entre a multid�o em �xtase, te vi surgir naquele palco gigante, quando a tua voz me fez recuar os 25 anos que separaram os nossos caminhos, que este sentimento de sincronia se imp�s a tudo o resto. O �It�s so easy� marcou a apoteose da entrada e foi o in�cio de uma viagem no tempo, na minha hist�ria e na hist�ria dos Guns N' Roses.

Porque este concerto foi um peda�o de hist�ria. Uma hist�ria que � partilhada com largos milhares (temo pecar por mod�stia) de pessoas por esse mundo fora, que cresceram com as m�sicas da tua banda, que choraram e riram, que aprenderam um pouco do que a vida poder� ser. Quando se tem 12 anos, todas as palavras parecem importar demasiado, e as que cantavas tornaram-se estandartes de hist�ria pessoal.

Ser� que sabes que um dia de chuva em Novembro passou a desenhar-me um sorriso nos l�bios?  Ser� que imaginas as vezes que cantei a Estranged enquanto tive 28 anos?

As m�sicas sucederam-se umas �s outras, numa �nsia calmante de quem esperou demasiado. E talvez por isso, todas as aus�ncias foram notadas, demasiado notadas. Apesar de todas as cr�ticas que frequentemente te s�o dirigidas Axl, estiveste irrepreens�vel. Perguntaste-nos se concord�vamos que a noite estava �ptima e foi o suficiente para nos teres a teu lado durante as tr�s horas que pass�mos juntos. Lembras-te, Axl, quando em St. Louis fizeste o inferno subir ao palco quando um tipo continuou a filmar-te quando lhe pediste para parar? As c�maras s�o t�o fracas a capturar a ess�ncia. N�o tive tempo para te filmar. Foi demasiado bom para que me tivesse lembrado. 

H� 25 anos atr�s, se o meu caminho se tivesse cruzado com o teu, teria tamb�m cruzado com o do Chris Cornell. Soundgarden foi a primeira banda do concerto de Guns N' Roses no est�dio de Alvalade e tamb�m agora o trouxeste de novo at� n�s. Para que o ouv�ssemos mais uma vez. � no sorriso seguido de um encolher de ombros com que, durante a "Coma", terminas o verso �I never really wanted to live� que intu�mos que tudo o que passaste n�o tem sido f�cil. No fundo, nunca foi, pois n�o? E, talvez seja isso, que nos aproxima tanto. Esta t�o profunda empatia com os sofrimentos da exist�ncia. Como dizia, em tempos, a t-shirt do Slash �Life�s a bitch and then you die�. Mas � uma exist�ncia que tamb�m tem coisas muito boas. Como o concerto da semana passada. E � por elas que faz sentido entoar, as vezes que forem necess�rias, o "Get in the ring". E � por isso que te pedimos que esta n�o seja a �ltima despedida.

Porque � assim que tu �s Axl. Bom e mau. Anjo e dem�nio. Humano e insuport�vel. E, apesar de nem sempre o teres recebido na tua vida, conseguiste dar-nos a compreens�o e o apoio que precis�mos, conseguiste transformar em arte a toxicidade da tua vida. E isso passou a fazer parte de n�s. Da parte boa de n�s.
