Short hair is having its great comeback in fashion. And I'm not talking about somewhere-around-the-shoulder length. I mean-the pixie cut. Evidently everybody's doing it - latest being Anne Hathaway for her role of Fantine in Les Miserables.

Started some time ago when sweet little Audrey cut her thick raven locks and scored an Oscar for her role in Roman holiday, showing off her delicate features and a swanlike neck.

 Continued with Jean Seberg, queen of the nouvelle vague cinema, when she cut her hair for the epic role of Joan of Arc in 1957's Saint Joan.

Sixties also had Twiggy, Edie Sedgwick and Mia Farrow, all cut extremely short.

The 70s were fans of super long hippy hair, but the late 80s, the era of the supermodels with Linda, Christy and later even Kate brought the pixie cut on the scene again! Followed by Winona Ryder, Gwyneth (who at the time sported the same haircut as her bf Brad Pitt ), Chloe Sevigny, etc.

2000s have brought us Agyness Deyn, Michelle Williams, Emma Watson and above mentioned Anne.

So what's the deal with the short hair?
Well, for starters, suddenly cutting your super long hair short ( even if I'd never be brave enough to do a pixie cut myself ) is the best feeling in the world. Fact.
I am of the opinion that everybody should let themselves be a bit crazy sometimes and just cut. Enter springtime with a new sense of freedom-literally.

Enjoy you week :)

David Lynch

Recently I've finished my maraton watching of Mad Men ( loved it ), and I was looking for a new TV show, so I came across Twin Peaks. Since I like David Lynch's work, full of mystique and oddness, I decided to do a little bit of research. 

Known for his surrealist films, he has developed his own unique cinematic style, which has been dubbed "Lynchian", a style characterized by its dream imagery and meticulous sound design. The surreal, and in many cases, violent, elements contained within his films have been known to "disturb, offend or mystify" audiences.

"I look at the world and I see absurdity all around me. People do strange things constantly, to the point that, for the most part, we manage not to see it. That's why I love coffee shops and public places – I mean, they're all out there."

His most famous movies are Eraserhead (1977), a film that he began in the early 1970s and which he would work on obsessively for five years. The final film was initially judged to be almost unreleasable weird, but  it secured a cult following and enabled Lynch to make his first mainstream film. 
The Elephant Man (1980), now classic Blue Velvet (1986), Wild at Heart (1990), Mulholland Drive ( 2001) 
He has achieved a huge cult following with his surreal TV series "Twin Peaks" .

And last but not least, David Lynch has opened its club in Paris, inspired by the deeply strange Club Silencio in Mulholland Drive. Last December, 2011, me and Elisa were visiting a friend there and had an honour to get inside and check it out. It really is impressive. 

Enjoy watching his movies and discovering this bizzare strange world he created.
