Super Waves!


Some may call him irresponsable, lunatic, insane, super human, adventurous, fearless, super cool,...

Garrett McNamara, the 45 years old surfist, made history again! This week he probably  beated the world record for surfing the biggest wave ever. He detains the actual record, surfing a wave at Praia do Norte, Nazaré with almost 30m about a year ago. Specialists are still figuring out the height of this wave, surfed on the exactly same beach. 
Praia do Norte has these huge waves thanks to Canhão da Nazaré (Nazaré Canyon), a rare geological formation that consists of an underwater canyon that ends at more than 5 kilometers deep. 
Nobody can imagine what he had felt there, but he was for sure on TOP OF THE WORLD! The thrill, the excitement, the adrenaline, a maelstrom of feelings. In one word, AMAZING! But it's not for everybody ;p

The image speaks for itself.

The Carrie Diaries


I'm a huge fan of the series "Sex & the City", and now I have something more to feed my hunger for more Carrie Bradshaw adventures: The Carrie Diaries! :)





The series is based on the book with the same name by Candace Bushnell. It shows Carrie in her teen years during the 80's, her life between Connecticut and her first connection with Manhattan.






The wardrobe choices are amazing from what i've seen on websites. I'm am not the biggest fan of the 80's style (a thing to work on) but I have to admit, they are rocking! 





The series already premiered in the U.S. and is being displayed by CW channel.





I'll try to post some favourite looks as the show evolves.
When is this going to be broadcast in PT??? hã?! Soon, I hope!



BE WHO YOU WANT TO BECOME!

Argo


It was worth every cent! (yes, because nowadays the price of a movie ticket  it's a Scandal!!!)

Very well directed, great choice of the actors, the sets, the plot,..., everything in general. The roles played by Alan Arkin was John Goodman are the cherry on top of the cake. A hint of comedy to relax a bit of all the stressful drama.
No surprise in the awards that is winning (Golden Globes for example) and the non ending nominations. 
To watch again, definitely!

Now I'm super curious to read the book "Master of Disguise: My Secret Life in the CIA" by Anthony Mendez. It was this book and also an article  "How the CIA Used a Fake Sci-Fi Flick to Rescue Americans From Tehran" by Joshuah Bearman that the movie was based. (all real facs)

Happy Australia day!

Send some heat please!
