LITTLE SECRETS

Match Point is a 2005 dramatic thriller film written and directed by Woody Allen, and starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Scarlett Johansson, Emily Mortimer, Matthew Goode, Brian Cox and Penelope Wilton. Rhys Meyers’ character marries into a wealthy family, but his social position is threatened by an affair and the subsequent pregnancy of his brother in law’s ex-girlfriend, played by Johansson.

The film treats themes of morality, greed, and the roles of lust, money, and luck in life, leading many to compare it to Allen’s earlier film, Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989). It was produced and filmed in London after Allen had difficulty finding financial support for the film in New York. The agreement obliged him to make it there using a cast and crew the majority of whom were from the United Kingdom. Allen quickly re-wrote the script, which was originally set in New York, for an English setting.

The film was well-received by critics, especially in the United States, who saw it as a return to form for Allen. The writer and director was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.

Spring 2012 Collection (narscosmetics.com)

The Spring 2012 Collection, created by Founder and Creative Director François Nars, stars a mix of bright and playful colors balanced with rich, saturated hues. Nars chose to photograph model Ginta Lapina for the spring campaign, explaining, “Her delicate features and classic beauty made her an ideal fit for a collection that’s at once fresh and fierce.”

After prepping with Pro Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base, Lhasa Single Eyeshadow was blended onto Ginta’s lids, extending the color to the upper inner corner of the eye. Her brow bone was highlighted with Albatross Highlighting Blush before Dark Rite Soft Touch Shadow Pencil was swiped across the upper lash line. It was further defined with Rue Saint-Honoré Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner; a winged effect was created in the outer corner. The lower lash was lined with the same pencil and gently smudged. Brows were defined with Blondie Single Eyeshadow; lashes were curled, then brushed with two coats of Larger Than Life Lengthening Mascara. Lips were lined and filled in with Amazon Lipliner Pencil, then topped with Valparaíso Pure Matte Lipstick and Misbehave Lip Gloss for shine. The look was completed with Écume Nail Polish on the nails.

TOO HOT INSIDE

“Red Blooded Woman” was released in the United Kingdom on March 1, 2004. The song became Minogue’s twenty-third top five single when it debuted at number five on the singles chart, beaten to number one by Britney Spears, who debuted at the top spot with “Toxic”. The hit song spent a total of nine weeks in the top seventy-five in the UK. Outside of the United Kingdom, the song was also successful.

Due to favorable reception of Minogue’s previous releases, “Red Blooded Woman” was released in the United States. Minogue had previously found success in the dance clubs with 2001’s “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” and 2003’s “Slow”. “Red Blooded Woman” became her sixth consecutive release to reach the top forty on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, where it peaked at number twenty-four. It also performed well on the Hot Dance Airplay chart, where it reached the top spot. The song however was not a success of the Billboard Hot 100, failing to make an impact outside of the dance market. However, several key Top 40 stations, including KIIS-FM in Los Angeles, embraced the track and gave it heavy airplay thanks to the song’s more “urban” sound.
