back in time

My James Dean obsession is pretty strong. Other than watching his movies over and over again, my first giant blog post was about him. Some time ago it was announced that there is going to be retro car show in Baku. I wasn't quite interested in it until I saw 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder among other cars at the show on display. So when my cousin Nigar invited me I agreed immediately. Taking photographs was forbidden but as I mentioned some time ago that I'm kinda stubborn about that and if I want a photo I'm gonna get that. So here is me in front of Porsche 550 Spyder. 

A hero from the past

When you feel like a main character in a black and white movie where a female character waits for someone to come and change her life for better or for worse, the one that shows up in her dreams as a leading role is one of the following A-class Old Hollywood movie heroes:

Gregory Peck
Roman Holiday (1953), To Kill a Mockingbird (1962), The Million Pound Note (1953).

Marilyn Monroe

After a long talk about iconic women with my life-long friend in this lovely summer evening  I decided to post these pictures that I had on my computer. Even though we mostly talked about Monica Belucci, that I consider the most beautiful woman of our time, this picture set is about Marilyn Monroe...

"No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they're pretty, even if they aren't." - Marilyn Monroe

She is an icon. After so many years people consider her as one of the most beautiful women of all time. It is not just about her look. It is all about her that she could represent in a way that no one would dare to. A woman, that seemed fragile and weak on the outside but had a whole different world on the inside. A woman that has been admired for decades. A woman that has been imitated. A lot of people talked about her, many books were written. I just wanted to share my personal favourite photos of her. Maybe not the most famous ones, but still.
