I just saw possibly one of the sexiest films ever made. There is something about movies that are based around the kitchen like “Chocolate” and the one I speak of now ” Woman on Top”, that are so sensual and irresistible.

Love, sex, and food combine in this sensuous romantic comedy. Isabella (Penelope Cruz) is a master chef who suffers from severe motion sickness, requiring her to be in control of her movements at all times. This need extends to the bedroom, but her husband Tonino (Murilo Benicio), who owns the restaurant where she works, doesn’t like to make love in the fashion suggested by the title. This is hardly the only thing about their relationship that she finds stifling, and when Isabella discovers Tonino in bed with another woman, she leaves for America, where with the help of cross-dressing friend “Monica” (Harold Perrineau Jr.), she becomes a star as the host of a TV cooking show, Passion Foods Live. Woman on Top was the first American film from Venezuelan director Fina Torres.

This film encompasses all of Brazil’s cliche’s in a way that leaves you with a permasmile throughout the entire film. Penelope Cruz is absolutely stunning and the passion between Isabella, her character, and Tonhino is so strong that it send your Pheromones flying in all directions.

After the other nights 20 minute discussion with my gals about Carrie Bradshaw’s favorite shoes in the movie I felt it necessary to put all assumptions aside. So I’m here to confirm that yes those were Dior, Extreme Gladiator Platform shoes, that she wore in all our favorite scenes of her. She even wore them in a silverish color with her wedding dress designed by Vivien Westwood. If you have not yet gone on a rampage for them, let me just inform you that they are from the fall 08 collection, so they are unavailable anywhere, but stores do seem to be taking special orders. They will be going for $770, and the damn copy cat master, Steve Madden, is cashing on the rage before the real thing is even available. So you can buy the Steve Madden imitation now and be in horrible pain in your feet and ego for only $109.

Personally, I love the models that are purely models, and not model/actress or model/anything. But, Gemma Ward will be strutting her stuff on the red carpet in Berlin, for the world premiere of her movie “The Black Balloon.” The movie was selected for the “Generation 14 Plus” youth competition of the 58th Berlin International Film Festival, which will run Feb. 7 .

Dawn, innocent teenager, discovers that she has teeth in her vagina that attacks all unsuspecting visitors. This comedy/horror film was written and directed by Mitchell Lichtenstein. It is about “the pitfalls and the power of being a living example of the vagina dentata myth.” ( IMDB)

What is a vagina dentata myth? According to Wikipedia, “the vagina dentata appears in the myths of several cultures…the myth expresses the threat sexual intercourse poses for men who, although entering triumphantly, always leave diminished.”

At 20, he had produced his own fashion and beauty shoots in Sweden. At 25, Arno Bani’s reputation goes beyond fashion photography, to redefine for himself the conventions of modern art. At Arno Bani, you can see a collection of his film and photography. The webpage is amazing. Read his bio too, you’ll find that Arno Bani is currently promoting his own anti-depression perfume called “Smiley.”

The Darjeeling Limited Marc Jacobs and Wes Anderson

The Darjeeling Limited has been a well-received movie these days, and I just read in the La Times that the movies’ quirky, polished look was a colloboration with Marc Jacobs and the director Wes Anderson. Anderson’s movies have a distinct style, just as he has his own, personalized look ( shrunken suits). These two trendsetters teamed up for new look, and the next time you watch the movie on dvd, take a closer look at the wardrobe.
