EDITOR’s LETTER How long is forever?

Sometimes, just a second Lewis Carrol We’re always complaining about the fact that time flies too quickly, but let me tell you: right now, given the colors of days, no matter the colorimetry rules dictated by our make up artist, Joséphine, I would like to take them up a notch. I would love to hold a remote and fast forward through when everything falls apart, but slow the delicious moments down. To turn off image and sound when phobias scream too loudly and press the record button to make simple pleasures last.

I could speed up some mandates to bring them closer to their term. Worse times may follow, but people will stop pissing us off with Trump statuses and tweets, and will take it out on somebody else. Life is a circle, life is a circus! But, most of all, we’ll know what happens next on Game of Thrones.

I could mute fans, passionately telling me how Anastasia got Mr. Grey back in the line after a good spanking - I still can’t believe that this shit made housewives want to open a book - and turn up the volume on other books so that they could reverberate a little more on people’s life.

I could zap the false, the ill faith and the hysteria to pause on the true, the beautiful and the eccentric.

If time flies at my speed, we will be able to enter winter for those who are too hot in the Southern hemisphere and have a Pot-au-Feu “à La Romain” to warm each other up. Or could enter summer, for those who are too cold in the Northern hemisphere and couldn’t join Kévin in Thailand for the holidays.

But, most of all, some desired answers will come faster and nourish our wisdom.

Pandore doesn’t have any seasons, we won’t say that seasons don’t count for anything anymore, but we adapt ourselves to readers of the north and readers of the south. I am not Charlie, I am not Paris, I am not Mimi, I am Claude’s Mussel, shutting myself into my shell selfishly, cutting myself from the world, waiting for the next solstice to come out.

Children will grow up faster, we will get older faster as well, but we will always have pictures to “remember when” and Abdel Kebdani’s digital retouching talents for our wrinkles.

I want to see life in pink like Safaa. And I want to dive head first into the imaginary worlds of Le Turk or Lewis Carrol. Following a late White Rabbit at the risk of having your head cut off by the Queen of Hearts sounds more appealing than following the hand of the clock at the risk of dying from boredom.

While we’re waiting for the White Rabbit, let’s be taken away by the timeless world of Pandore.

Mireille Gautier

Let yourself be taken away in the culinary world of Patricia Richer, a French chef who moved to Costa Rica to create a French cuisine that always reaches perfection when it comes to flavors and its associations, offering a delightful gourmet’s experience to her guests.

Settled in downtown San José, she wants to share French gastronomy by creating its first Table d’hôtes: “La Terrasse”.

Patricia Richer welcomes you in her antique 1927 house in the historic district of San José for a convivial and romantic moment, for a unique French dinner, bringing “a little bit of France” in the capital.

The Mussel Bed Syndrome.

Our planet is like a mussel bed, in which every country opens up or shuts down according to high or low waves, weather warnings and storms. Some mussels have been closed and angry at their neighbors for a long time. So, they built walls: The Great Wall of China, the wall of shame and The Wailing Wall. The Berlin Wall is down, but Hungary’s anti-immigrant wall is up…Belfast, both Koreas, Kashmir… Walls in Cyprus Island’s capital Nicosia, in Baghdad for a confessional division.

From the Spanish enclaves in Melilla to those in Centa, Morocco and Usti Nab Laben, Czech Republic. Walls in Padua, Italy to separate residential and low-income neighborhoods, Charm El Cheikh in Egypt for tourism, two thousand kilometers right in the middle of the Western Sahara…

In today’s digital age, the media caricature can bring emotions to get the upper hand at the expense of facts and numbers, which are minimized. Did you know that Burma is considered to be the “Country of the Year” by the French magazine Geo? “A country that steps out of darkness…The world moves on driven by pragmatism, exchange, dialogue, commerce…

Pacific societies are richer than countries at war, open societies are happier than closed ones…” A national electoral campaign comes up with new protégés and their prognosis and the country’s debt interests fluctuate. The next-door mussels, which were friendly before, strengthen their adductor muscles, close their bivalve shells and another adversary rebuffs. For other mussels, a new economic era opens up, full of opportunities. The Trump mussel worked its way up, just like the Putine and Xi Jinping ones a few years ago; and talented people: smart ones, opportunists, or both, don’t complain: they are and will be more mobile around the world, receptive to desirable opportunities and welcoming conditions.

But what about our mussel? If it withdraws into itself, no one will want it. But if it opens up too much, the starfish, the real economical sheriffs of the oceans will eat it up. Or maybe it will be eaten by gilthead breams and their military method.

LE TURK Artist of the month

As luck would have it, Le Turk now lives in Leipzig, Germany.

This 33 year-old expatriate French artist is originally a musician and a designer. But he came across photography by chance in 2009. He worked near Paris in a cultural organization and was invited to a photoshoot. He understood that it wasn’t exactly what he wanted to do but he found a way to express himself and combine history with our everyday needs. He dived into his own universe and depicted it in his work called “OPERA MUNDI”.

It gathers six years of photography. It is a nostalgic Baroque vision of a permanent end of the century, with characters lost in a movie scene.

In his workshop, a factory of wonders, Le Turk, a master in disenchantment, invents a fake world of his own made of pasteboard, wood and polystyrene.

Creating the unreal to get closer to the real, subliming the artifice to unveil the contemporary tragicomic in great epics: that is his aesthetic obsession.

Between sacred and profane, comics and Méliès, faith, fervor and passion, his first six years of work are now gathered in a beautiful book, disclosing the multiple faces of this wild architect of photography.

Photography is just a stage for him, we‘re certain to meet him soon in the movie and the music world. He’s an artist in his own right.

KOREAN DRESSES A Wedding Trend Article by The Louvre Bridal enquiry@thelouvrebridal.com www.thelouvrebridal.com Nominated as the Top 5 Bridals in Singapore Koreans have indeed taken the world by storm with their alluring Korean Makeup trends and looks, effortless hairdos and even to the classy and feminine fashion styles! It is no wonder modern day brides are so intrigued by learning how to mirror the Koreans signature style.

An interesting fact to note is that Korean Gown trends follow international branded gown designers and the latest wedding trends to infuse these elements into creating its stunning cutting-edge pieces. With their appreciation to fit and flare cuttings, mermaid or trumpet style silhouettes, they incorporate these elements with the latest wedding dress trends to bring about the luxurious Korean Wedding Dresses that are the envy of many bride-to-beâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Not forgetting, their careful attention to intricate lace detailing proves exemplary of the Korean signature style, befitting for the dazzling bride.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take a look at the latest Korean wedding dress trends for you to be inspired in preparations for your very own Hallyu Wedding!

Sheer Illusion There is indeed something special about sheer illusion-like ballgowns. With the approach of the soft mesh instead of an ‘in your face’ cutout panel on your wedding dress, what makes the Korean Wedding Dress’s unique is the position of its sheer pieces.

With careful thought on the material placement and just the right amount of mesh, it maintains a modest look, keeping the style chic yet romantic. Some dresses even includes intricate floral lace detailing, which can add depth and body to the simple dress too.

Stunning Veils and Trains These two elements add a certain kind of glamour for any bride’s dress. Be it for the actual day wedding or wedding photoshoot, these elements give an added ‘wow’ factor.

Korean wedding dresses have flexible and versatile dress designs which allows you to detach and attach accessories like sheer overlay covers, intelligent designs of detachable trains or even cape-like gowns where a veil can be attached and detached on the back. These added elements add the soft feminine touch in the Korean Wedding Dresses, making it so unique!

Dare To Be Daring For brides who want to add a touch of sexy, deep plunges aren’t going anywhere in the Korean Wedding trends either! If you are daring enough, feel free to go for the stunning low V-neck plunge.

But if you’re looking for somewhere in between, go for a discreet illusion sheer cape for a sweet elegant touch of a true Korean bride. This is an “in thing” for 2017, so go ahead and strut your curves in style brides!

Soft-Hue Colored Gowns With their gentle, soft makeup and hairdo looks, the natural-look is the Korean’s style mantra. Hence, Korean Wedding Dresses also adopt the same soft, feminine designs and colors. A popular start on how to pick a colored gown would be to go for muted and pastel colours such as blush, pastel blue and light lavender.

These colours all go hand in hand with the pure makeup looks to epitomize your Korean Style wedding!

Depending on your preferences, each Korean Style wedding dress has something to offer, which is your favourite?

The Right Spot

Phuket

The place to visit Phuket is part of Thailand, the mystical country of Southwest Asia. This little piece of heaven is without a doubt one of the top destinations in recent years. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take a tour of the surrounding islands near Phuket, such as Koh-Phiphi for instance.

Discover this amazing place through the eyes of Kevin Lopez, cinematographer and VFX artist.

Visually speaking, if there’s one white sand beach that has left its mark, it’s Maya Beach for sure. It is hard to forget the love-filled scene between Leonardo Di Caprio and Virginie Ledoyen on a white sand beach, alone in the world. Rings a bell? Yes! The title is “The Beach”…THE beach.

It’s no surprise that the director chose this unique and idyllic spot to shoot his movie that would later become an international hit, allowing us to discover this talented actor: Leonardo Di Caprio.

The sand, white and hot, melting like cream under your feet exhausted by the greyness, cold and pollution of the city…can you picture yourself yet? This dreamy destination is waiting for you.

Many hotels are available in the region and are very affordable, and it only takes an hour to go visit the islands nearby by boat, depending on where you take it.

There’s something for everyone and the northern island of Koh-Phiphi offers very cheap meals, suitable for any taste.

Whether you’re traveling with friends, your lover or with your family, it’s the perfect destination for tranquility and good times together.

Between two tanning sessions under the burning sun (SPF 40 minimum!), take the boat to go scuba diving among coral, schools of barracudas, clown fish and â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with a little luck - turtles, basking sharks and other submarine creatures.

Take this opportunity to take a swim in a breathtaking lagoon, with sheer cliffs diving into the sea and nothing else around apart from turquoise water and some boats, only there to brag.

Perhaps little monkeys will pay you a visit, asking for bananas and other sweet fruits they like so much.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a true holiday experience, far from everyday life troubles, civilization - far from everything.

Finally, take a boat back to the hotel at the end of the day, pass through Phuket, make a stop in a little restaurant to taste savory Thai food, drink regional wine (very good wine, by the way), go crab and shrimp fishing, enjoy a very last foot bath before repeating everything the next day after a good nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep, skin still warm, full of the Vitamin D your body lacked so much!

TOP SECRET Tips from the pro

Today I’m going to share eight makeup artists’ secrets for perfect makeup. Eight simple life saving tips. As a MUA, we’ve learned to do our job like everyone else. But even if makeup is our passion and a mode of expression, there are basics and rules to follow.

1.

In makeup, anything is possible: lipstick can work as blush, a tanning cream as an eye shadow. In Victoria’s Secret shows, for example, the makeup artist uses lipstick as a blush. It gives a lighter and fresher look to models.

2.

Summer or winter foundation: too complicated. Why not use your summer foundation as contouring? It has a creamy and light texture and the same effect as powder or all the trendy contour kits 3.

A zit ruins your life but you hate putting a ton of foundation on it: no problem. Apply your foundation as usual, then dab a little more cream on it with a brush. This way, you add coverage without the mask effect.

4.

The secret of colorimetry: it focuses on harmony, teaches us that colors are complementary. It’s at the core of our job as MUAs. It includes the principle of hot and cold colors. For example: avoid wearing an orange lipstick with a pink blush: hot and cold colors don’t get along. If you have green eyes, use a plumb or a violet eye shadow. If you have blue eyes, use orange, brown or coral lipstick.

For the brown-eyed girls, all colors are allowed. Again, everything is possible in makeup, as long as you choose harmonious colors.

5.

Eyebrows: know that your eye makeup depends on your eyebrows: perfect eyebrows don’t need makeup. First of all, many women don’t know that but the end of your eyebrow has to lead towards the top of your ear (check with a brush put on your eyebrow: it’s simpler). Then, we all have eyebrows higher or lower than the other. To make up for it, all you have to do is work with a pencil line at the bottom of your eyebrow if you want to lower it or the opposite if you want to put it up.

Easy! But be careful: do not square shape your eyebrows, it’s not trendy, ugly and gives a strict expression to your face. Always opt for inclined eyebrows.

6.

Lips. You’ll notice that every makeup artist uses a pencil for lips before applying lipstick. But why??? Well, it draws the mouth, and we can cheat if we have thin lips.

Then it avoids lipstick to run in lip lines. And the pencil is mandatory for red lipstick.

7.

To finish, many women forget about this step, but after putting your makeup base, foundation, and under eye concealer on (in that order), use powder on your face the same color as your skin or an invisible one and then use tanning powder and blush, otherwise, blush will stick to the foundation and you won’t be able to soften it.

And it will look terrible. It will leave ugly marks.

8.

Here’s the most important secret of all. The hand of a MUA is like a palette. Let me explain: instead of putting your foundation, tanning powder, blush, eye shadow and even lipstick directly onto your face, you’ll notice that before, they work the texture on their hands. It allows to dose the product, warm it up, crush the pigments to avoid powder fall. That way, you put less makeup on and the result is pure MAGIC. Joséphine Picquet

Food

Romain’s Recipe Pot-au-Feu

Spring is here! I love this part of the year: perfect temperatures, rebirth of colors, new perspectives brought by beautiful light…all of this conveys friendliness and shared moments.

Winter left us with a wide variety of vegetables that we have to adapt to the season.

Standardization and consumption surprisingly make us buy and eat the same things over and over again. But there are so many forgotten vegetables. The list is endless…

So I’ve decided to make a “Forgotten Vegetable Pot-au-Feu with a Gribiche sauce”.

Rustic, generous, tasty and cheap: this recipe has everything going for you! An emblematic specialty of traditional French cuisine, this typical Sunday family or friends’ reunion dish is timeless. Let’s reinvent it!

Ingredients for the meat: -500g beef cheek -500g chuck steak -200g oxtail -6 marrow bones Aromatic garnish: -6 cloves -1 onion -1 bay leaf -6 juniper berries -1L white wine -1 head of garlic

Forgotten vegetables -4 parsnips -6 Jerusalem artichokes -1 bunch kale -4 yellow carrots -4 sweet potatoes -4 rutabagas -1 leak -Olive oil Gribiche sauce -3 hard eggs -45 cl sunflower oil -1 full tsp mustard -3 tbsp vinegar -3 pickles -1 full tbsp capers -1 tbsp minced parsley -1 tbsp minced tarragon -Salt and pepper

Step 1 Meat cooking time: 4 hours Preparation time: 10 minutes Put the meat in a pressure cooker, add water to cover the meat up to the middle of the cooker and pour 1L of white wine. Stud the onion with the cloves, put in the cooker along with the bay leaf, juniper berries, smashed garlic, salt and pepper.

Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for about 3 hours.

At this stage, the meat should be tender. Near the end of the cooking, add the marrow bones and turn off the heat.

Step 2 Vegetables cooking time: 1h30 Preparation time: 15 minutes While the meat is cooking, peel and cut the vegetables in half, put them in a cooker half full of water, add a trickle of olive oil, salt and pepper and cook uncovered until water has boiled off. (confit aspect) Step3 Gribiche sauce Preparation time: 10 minutes Boil the eggs until hard, shell them and separate the yolks from the whites. Crush the yolks with a fork, mix them with the mustard. Add vinegar and sunflower oil, whisking like if you were making mayonnaise. Add salt and pepper.

Add the minced pickles and capers, then parsley and tarragon. Chop the egg whites and add them to the mixture. Put it in the fridge.

Serve the meat and vegetables in a bowl, with a little broth and the Gribiche sauce.

Why not toast slices of country style bread to eat with the marrow bones, and don’t forget a pinch of sea salt - it’s delicious!

Wine combination recommendations: I would recommend a not-too-tannic wine, a Beaujolais for example. A red Gamay will add a fresh kick to the dish.

Bon appétit!

PINK

The Great Come Back Pink is coming back This season, pink is back and it is everywhere: in magazines, on catwalks and streets. We’re not complaining. On the contrary, this year, it comes out of the closets of women warriors.

Don’t think that pink is for nice little girls.

Let’s go back in time to Paris in September 2016 during the Spring/Summer 2017 Fashion Week. Pink appears in 3 main fashion shows: Balenciaga, Valentino and Céline. Every fashion critic from New York to Tokyo announces the arrival of bubble gum colored dresses.

Fashionista.com posted in its site in huge letters “61 reasons to wear pink next spring”.

Pink has remained taboo in fashion since the 1970’s and the Women’s Lib (The Women’s Liberation Movement in the US). That’s what makes this comeback surprising and dazzling.

Barbie’s favorite color became political on January 21, 2017, after Donald Trump’s swearing-in. Washington was overflowed by a wave of Pussy Hats.

(Gucci fashion show – Spring/Summer 2017) (Anti Trump March in the USA. Women wore “Pussy Hats”) Miuccia Prada made the first move for her Fall/Winter 2015 collection: pink pantsuits with giant bows.

Gucci’s Alessandro Michele brought a $19 000 candy-pink fur on the catwalk in Fall 2016. It would go on to become the star of their marketing campaign. The following spring, the Italian house takes it up a notch with a fashion show happening in a pink boudoir setting.

There it is! Don’t hesitate: pink is a color for every taste: Funky: POP pink It’s refreshing, flashy and pops. This option boosts the soft and neutral colors of any wardrobe.

Classic: powder pink It’s certainly timeless, but pale pink is trendy this winter. It brings tenderness and grace to a strict or flimsy look, it will bring out an unabashed baby doll style but in a “liberated woman” kind of way.

So Chic: textured pink This year’s watchword is substance: satiny, ribbed, striped or patterned, fabric will be on the rise and asserts its individuality.

Ultra Hypnotic: deep pink Let’s dive into an intense and deep pink pool that will give character to a simple and sophisticated look. No need to go over the top, the color pink speaks for itself.

But be careful, choose a fine fabric like cotton, silk or tweed to keep the classy aspect of your silhouette.

There you have it! A flood of sweet femininity to see life in pink this season.
