This book is Mario's personal homage to his greatest muse: a young girl that captured his heart and eye with her beauty, humor and spirit, and whose image in his photographs has captured imaginations the world over. Many photographs have been chosen from Testino's private archive and are published here for the first time. Follow the journey of one of fashion's most extraordinary friendships, from early days backstage at the shows to behind-the-scenes glimpses of the groundbreaking editorials they continue to produce for the world's most respected magazines. The consequence of two decades of extraordinary friendship, and phenomenal glamour, this iconic collaboration is an intimate insight into the lives and minds of two of the world's definitive style leaders. Mario Testino is recognized as the ultimate fashion photographer of his generation but his pictures of Kate Moss transcend fashion.

Michael Lewis’s book, on which the film was based, definitely has its entertaining, tearful, inspiring moments. It’s due out Februfrom Gotham Books, an imprint of Penguin. The story of Michael Oher – a massive young man estranged from his addict mother, his dysfunctional siblings, and lost to the welfare system, who has been blessed with immeasurable athletic talent – and his relationship with the wealthy Tuohy family of Memphis, Tenn., works better on film in this case than on the pages.īut if read you must (readers unite!), then might I suggest you wait a few months for I Beat the Odds: From Homelessness to The Blind Side and Beyond, a memoir by none other than Michael Oher himself. I rarely ever say this: skip the book, and go see the film version of The Blind Side (which got Sandra Bullock her much-deserved Oscar win). Foster mother Francine is gruff and pretends not to care, but she's a great model for supporting the sisters, advocating for them, and taking care of them responsibly and thoroughly. Della's teacher is pretty oblivious and unappreciative of how hard it is for Della to cope with school and her emotions, but she changes when she finally really understands what Della went through.

Suki is a good model for taking care of Della, but tries to suppress her own experience of abuse and doesn't ask for help when she's really hurting. She's extremely loyal to her older sister Suki, and they model a close and loving sibling bond even though they fight sometimes. She learns why that's important, and it helps her find the courage to get help and to confront the man who assaulted her in a legal setting. Della is a great model for speaking out about things that are wrong. First he refuses to come home with them, but after two and a half words from Alice, he changes his mind. At first she and Ezra are going after Peter who is on a suicide mission. So, Alice is still being her fabulous self.

Then, again, you are obliged to be continually in the company of many good poets and especially of Homer, who is the best and most divine of them and to understand him, and not merely learn his words by rote, is a thing greatly to be envied. SOCRATES: I often envy the profession of a rhapsode, Ion for you have always to wear fine clothes, and to look as beautiful as you can is a part of your art. Sidebar: all of my statements are, in a way, questions, not to be taken as definitive answers scholars and philosophers have been debating the details of Plato’s thought for over 2000 years. To offer a taste, here are a few snatches of the dialogue along with my brief reflections. Likewise, if you haven’t read any Plato, this is a great place to start.
