Vintage Muse du Jour: Uschi Obermaier

Uschi Obermaier is one of the lesser-known ‘babes of our lives’ from the sixties and seventies.

The Last Beatles Photo Shoot

You could have cut the tension with a knife (0r with George Harrison’s giant hat) … They had just finished recording the last album they would ever make together, and relations between the four band members of the Beatles were at an all-time low. George Harrison had walked out for five days during the recording…

How to Make It in Paris: The Girl with the Luck of the Draw

    This is Kanako (that’s her self-portrait). She’s pretty much the quintessential example of ‘how to move to Paris and make it as an artist‘. Over the past few years, her charming illustrations have probably become as recognisable to most Parisians today as a Rodin or a Monet.

My Secret Champs Elysées Garden

At some point or another every Parisian has an errand to run on the Champs Élysées, as much as they despise its hellish high street hum and tawdry tourist tat. And like every Parisian that likes to claim his or her “coins“, or corners of solace around the city, this Parisienne is claiming a little…
