“L’Orient des Femmes” in Paris
It is not a secret that Paris is one of the world's fashion capitals, arguably the original fashion capital. The most powerful designers, couture houses and fashion magazines have their origin in the City of Light.

I'll be writing a much more detailed story about this at some point because this is a great story. I had the opportunity to join one of the LA Gangland Tours. This unique organization is not glorifying gang violence and activities rather they are humanizing it, raising awareness, and raising money to work with kids before they get sucked into this "culture" as well as other preventative measures against the gangs. Its touching to see rival … [Read more...]

Feria de Sevilla
On November 16, 2010 UNESCO declared the Flamenco World Cultural Heritage, to be more precise it was declared to one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity and I could not think of a more respectable acknowledgment. The Flamenco is a hallmark for Spanish culture, especially for the south of Spain, and goes far beyond music and dance. Some would call it a way of life or an attitude. It embodies passion and seduction. … [Read more...]
