Fran?ois Nars Turns Snapper For Vogue Japan

Previous 1 / 10 Next

Posted on by Sarah Macrae ?

Fran?ois Nars is a man of many talents. As well as creating a beauty brand that's turned into a worldwide phenomenon?? largely down to his multi-award-winning Orgasm Blush ? and seen him able to buy his own small island in the South Pacific, he's secured a spot as Marc Jacobs go-to runway makeup artist and is a pretty ace photographer. Yep, what initially started as a passion soon turned into him shooting his own advertising campaigns (he still does to this day) and launching a photography book, X-Ray, in 1999. His striking images mean that he's regularly called upon for his skills behind the lens. His latest project is a stunning editorial spread of German model Toni Garrn in Vogue Japan. Call us biased, but we think Fran?ois' expert face painting skills allow him to take beautiful shots of makeup, no?

Maroon 5's 'One More Night' Video: Adam Levine Loses Everything

Pop star plays a boxer whose relationship is in ruins because of his profession in the new clip.
By John Mitchell

In Maroon 5's video for their latest single, "One More Night," frontman Adam Levine plays a boxer dealing with personal turmoil as he prepares for a big fight.

"One More Night" opens with two goldfish swimming around in a bowl before segueing into a sequence where the seemingly idyllic home life Levine enjoys with video girlfriend Minka Kelly and their baby daughter is set against scenes of his hands being wrapped and of him training in a boxing ring.

At home, he eats a protein-heavy meal and revels in his baby girl's laughter as he holds her high in the air. But all is not well, as frequent cuts to Kelly's concerned frown let on.

The writing is on the wall when he has to leave for a big fight. As he steps into the ring to cheers, she packs her bags. He wins the fight, but when he returns home battered from the battle, he finds he's lost everything that really mattered. Kelly and their child are gone and all that's left are the relics of his profession — trophies, a jump rope, a few pictures and a lone goldfish.

Levine hustles in the ring and trains hard for the big show, but it ultimately comes at the expense of everything he holds dear. Taken further, the clip could be looked at as a metaphor for the difficulties Levine faces balancing his professional life as a world-famous singer and TV star and a personal life with the same wants (happy relationship, a family) as everyone else.

Perhaps the video is a lingering response to his recent breakup from model Anne Vyalitsyna, which came less than a month before the band debuted the smash single, "Payphone" featuring Wiz Khalifa. The song continues to enjoy huge success on the charts; it is #3 on this week's Billboard Hot 100, having peaked at #2 a few weeks back.

Maroon 5 and Levine have been riding a professional high for some time (they spent weeks at #1 late last summer with the Grammy-nominated "Moves Like Jagger" and Levine has found major success on "The Voice"), but is it worth it when it comes at the expense of private happiness? That's the question the "One More Night" seems to be asking.

With the pop star left sitting alone on a couch in a sad, empty house at the video's end, Levine's answer to that question is pretty clear.

What did you think of Maroon 5's "One More Night" video? Let us know in the comments!

tiki lights - Tiki Lights -- The Easy and Affordable Outdoor Lighting ...











When the evenings are hot and you would like to sit outside on your patio to breathe the cool air, adding many tiki lights can bring an unusual, authentic feel which is able to assist you relax and picture an exceeding ambiance of a tropical paradise. These outside lighting is easy to use and maintain and are comparatively cheaper depending on the fashion you opt to shop for. There are lots of items you will need to understand regarding owning and using tiki lights.

Firstly, invariably keep in mind that tiki lights, regardless of how ornamental and delightful they are, they can have real flames if they are not solar-powered. Make sure that you simply keep the tikis far from any nearby flammable materials and invariably keep kids and pets at a secure distance. Make sure that the tiki pole is firmly hooked up to the bottom or thuslidly driven into the ground.

Secondly, purchase a sensible quality lamp oil to be used for the tikis I once bought the most costly effective oil on the shelf at the native store and it smoked horribly. Everything anywhere close to the torch become coated in an exceedingly disgusting black soot that was a true problem to scrub. I like to recommend obtaining a coffee smoke or no-smoke oil since you will be sitting close to the flames and possibly don't need to be enhale the nasty black smoke all night. These higher oils can price slightly additional, however I feel they're price each penny.

In addition to obtaining sensible quality oil, you will need to think about obtaining a citronella scented oil for your tiki lights. The addition of citronella can flip your tiki torches into practical mosquito repellents. They're going to not perform miracles because the citronella is comparatively gentle and natural, however each bit helps when it involves keeping those hungry mosquitoes away.

On the other hand, most tiki torches can keep company with a wick after you purchase them. Make certain that the units you get have the wicks as a result of the torch is useless while not it. The wick absorbs the oil within the bowl and makes it out there for the flame to consume. If you've got sturdy metal torch bodies, you will got to replace the wick periodically reckoning on the standard and whether or not it's exposed to harsh atmospheric condition or not. I've never had a bamboo torch last long enough that I had to exchange the wick, thus if you are using that vogue, you may most likely simply get a replacement with the new torches after you upgrade.

When you are positioning the wick, make sure that you do not have an excessive amount of exposed. You would like barely enough wick out there for the flame to light-weight and burn nicely. Prepare it in order that regarding 1 and 1/2 inches of exposed and alter as necessary. Fill the oil bowl regarding 3 quarters full and install it into the torch holder. When you are beginning a brand new torch for the primary time, you will got to drip some oil onto the wick from the highest and let it soak down so as to assist the oil get absorbed. Once the wick is soaked with the oil, you will not got to try this once more.

As you'll see, tiki torches and tiki lights are easy and simple to maintain and to take care of. They need only a few further things to use and maintenance is minimal. Once you illuminate your patio with many tiki torches for the primary time, you will be amazed at simply how relaxing the lighting experience is and the mesmerizing dancing flames.

NATO rescues aid workers held by Afghan militants

(AP) ? It was a risky but successful operation: British and other NATO forces stormed a cave tucked in the mountains before dawn Saturday and rescued two foreign female aid workers and their two Afghan colleagues being held hostage by Taliban-linked militants.

Helicopters, flying under the cover of darkness, ferried the rescue team to extreme northeastern Afghanistan where they suspected the hostages were being held. After confirming the workers were there, they raided the site, killed several militants and freed the hostages, ending their nearly two-week ordeal.

Helen Johnston, 28, from Britain, and Moragwa Oirere, 26, from Kenya, and their two Afghan colleagues were kidnapped on May 22 while traveling on horseback in Badakhshan province. The four work for Medair, a humanitarian non-governmental organization based near Lausanne, Switzerland.

"They were kidnapped by an armed terrorist group with ties to the Taliban," said Lt. Col. Jimmie Cummings, a spokesman for the U.S.-led military coalition fighting in Afghanistan. "The kidnappers were armed with heavy machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades and AK-47s. ... The hostages were being held in a cave in the mountains."

Past rescue attempts in Afghanistan have not always gone so well.

In 2009, Sultan Munadi, an Afghan translator kidnapped alongside New York Times reporter Stephen Farrell, was killed in a hail of bullets during a rescue attempt by British commandos. In 2010, the U.S. Navy's SEAL Team 6 tried to rescue Linda Norgrove, a Scottish aid worker, from her Taliban captors in Afghanistan. She was killed by a grenade thrown in haste by one of the American commandos.

Afghan officials said seven militants were killed during Saturday's rescue operation, which was launched around 1 a.m.

British Prime Minister David Cameron approved the rescue operation on Friday afternoon after becoming increasingly concerned about the safety of the hostages. The mission was carried out by British troops in cooperation with other NATO and Afghan forces, Cameron told reporters outside 10 Downing Street in London.

He said it was "extraordinarily difficult" to decide to go ahead with the operation, which involved a "long route march" without being discovered.

"It was an extraordinarily brave, breathtaking even, operation that our troops had to carry out," Cameron said.

British Army Lt. Gen. Adrian Bradshaw, the deputy commander of the NATO military coalition in Afghanistan, said the rugged area had steep mountains, deep gullies and demanding terrain.

"The hostages are in good health ? we've seen all four of them this morning," Bradshaw said, adding they would be reunited with their families soon.

Johnston's family expressed delight over the news that the aid worker and her colleagues had been freed.

"We are deeply grateful to everyone involved in her rescue, to those who worked tirelessly on her behalf, and to family and friends for their love, prayers and support over the last twelve days," the family said in a statement.

Medair spokesman Aurilien Demaurex also expressed relief that the aid workers had been rescued and said the company was "immensely grateful to all parties involved in ensuring their swift and safe return."

Shams ul-Rahman, the deputy governor of Badakhshan province, said the hostages had been held in Gulati, a village in Shahri Buzurg district, near the Tajikistan border.

"Mostly smugglers are based in those areas, but of course the smugglers have the support of the Taliban," Rahman said.

He said Afghan elders in the area had been working to seek the release of the aid workers.

"A group of elders was about to go to the village and start negotiations," Rahman said. "Based on intelligence reports that Afghan forces received, a successful operation was conducted that resulted in the release of the hostages and the killing of the kidnappers."

Separately, a NATO service member died Saturday following an insurgent attack in southern Afghanistan. The coalition released no other details about the death. So far this year, 177 foreign troops have been killed in Afghanistan.

Also in the south, Abdul Salaam, the Taliban's military leader for three districts in southern Helmand province, was killed Friday in a joint operation by the Afghan and coalition forces in Kajaki district, the provincial governor's office said Saturday. Abdul Salaam was the brother of Qayum Zakir, a member of Taliban's leadership council known as the Quetta Shura after the Pakistani city of the same name, said Fared Ahmad Farhang, a spokesman for the police in Helmand province.

In the east, NATO and Afghan forces detained a militant commander who allegedly planned and coordinated an attack on a coalition base in eastern Khost province Friday. Several other insurgents were detained during the operation in Sabari district. Militants detonated a truck bomb outside Forward Operating Base Salerno on Friday, then tried to storm the site, but coalition forces repelled the attack, killing 14 militants. No foreign or Afghan troops were killed.
