Lisbon

Better late than never! Here are some pictures from my trip to Lisbon in July. 

25 de Abril Bridge and Cristo-Rei

After Super Bock Super Rock, Diego and I thought it would be a good idea visiting Lisbon (Portugal's capital is not far from Meco) .The place is really beautiful but it has nothing to do with other big cities I've seen. Fado echoes all over the wide boulevards where Manueline buildings blend with the most modern architecture. Some Art Noveau over here... some trams over there... I would have stayed lost forever in Alfama -the oldest district of the city- or going up and downhill Bairro Alto and Baixa. The panoramic views from the top parts of the city are fantastic and the walk from Padrão dos Descobrimentos to Torre de Belém (eating some Pastéis de Belém) is absolutely indispensable.
A city with charm... and something else.

I was leafing through some old magazines and I came across a picture worthy to be remembered:


This wonderful gold satin gown was worn by Kate at the The Golden Age Of Couture VIP gala at the V&A on September 18, 2007 in London. Unfortunatelly, Courtney Love's shoe met this vintage Dior gem and this was the result:


A real pity... It is one of my favourite red carpet gowns, together with the Givenchy dress worn by Audrey in the 1954 Academy Awards. Some days later, she donated it to her pal James Brown to be auctioned for Cancer Research U.K. I would have bought it, even with the ripped back!
