Although I live here in Barcelona and enjoy life in La Ciudad Condal, I have to admit, even though I know some are going to gnash their teeth, that my heart belongs to Madrid.

Yet at the same time, they [...]
Photo Session for Lindi Lú Hair Accessories
I accompanied Inés of Happinés on a photo session that she was shooting for Lindi Lú hair accessories. The designer has just been selected to participate in Madrid’s Fitting Room and she’ll be needing a new web and special photos for the occasion. That’s where we stepped in, to help her out. We spent the afternoon in company of the excitable makeup artist Gianni of Iki Make Studio and the lovely model, Alejandra Pablo.

Animalario is a theatre company based in Madrid, so all their plays are in Spanish. Urtain was a mediocre boxer towards the later years of Franco’s regime. Due to many events that were greatly followed and talked about, Urtain managed to achieve great fame and became the image of Spain. After many years of fighting his greatest battles with himself, he commited suicide fours days before the beginning of the Barcelona Olympics. A tragic figure, Animalario brings Urtain to life once again, through Roberto Álamo. This is a journey through a Spain marked by blood, politics, lies and deceit, fame and destruction. It is also a journey through the tortured and chaotic mind of Urtain.
