incredible lightness of being
Luglio 16, 2017 5:24POSTCARD#274: New Delhi: about the permanent headache, the anaesthesiologist lady in the white room says there’s another kind of treatment available: Pulsed RadioFrequency (PRF), so I could consider this rather than coping with the pain by self-medication. The new procedure stuns the nerve that’s causing the pain. Agreed, let’s fix it for 25th July, and all of a sudden with some degree of excitement I’m looking forward to a major change in my life.
That was then, this is now. I got the flight back to New Delhi from Bangkok, all the usual rumble tumble and really, what’s all the fuss about, I don’t feel the pain as much now as I did at the beginning, nearly two years ago.

Uma delas, em seu longa-metragem de estreia, é Helena, que vive em Diamantina e tem a história lembrada por um casal de amigos. Outra, Lúcia McCartney, é uma prostituta loura, magra, bela, que adora dançar e passar algumas horas na praia.

The Melancholic Illustrations of Stasia Burrington
Luglio 16, 2017 5:07
Stasia Burrington’s women are dark haired, simple, and usually muted in color, which is often in stark contrast to her colorful flowers or butterflies that surround and adorn her subjects. Emotionally-driven, her illustrations are beautiful and even when there is a sense of distress they seem strong, making her art carry a feeling of shared struggle rather than pain or defeatism.
Based in Seattle, Washington, Stasia has participated in a number of shows recently including several at Giant Robot 2, Screaming Sky and The Oakland Museum of California.
