Egoiste

L'Egoiste Nr.15

Natalia Vodianova by Paolo Roversi

These images are from issue 15 of Egoiste Magazine, aka as The Most Beautiful Magazine in the world.

Egoiste, the French cult magazine that comes out every few years, is back with a new issue this month.

In US, you can only buy it from a certain bookstore in New York. 

If you want to get it, you can go here.

Egoiste was created in 1977 by Nicole Wisniak that wanted to bring together the best photographers and best writers of the moment. There have only been 15 issues so far.

"Le plus beau journal du monde" L'Express

"Is it a magazine or a work of art?"~Philippe Sollers, Le Point

"A masterpiece of esthetics, intelligence and even ethics"~Elle

As you can see, my expectations are pretty high.

Please arrive safely to me.

Vogue Shape

Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott pay tribute to the world’s best bodies in the pages of Vogue’s Shape Issue, April 2011

Lara. I am not crazy about her, but somebody in my household is.

To end up in the Vogue Shape Issue after three kids, well, that's a dream come true for Natalia Vodianova.

Speaking of Natalia, isn't this the cutest picture ever. 

Here she is with her daughter Neva, another Vogue image from an earlier issue. Cute Cute Cute.

As for me, fast walking anyone? Pilates? Spin, hike, anything? After seeing these pics I really need a work out. 

Soup. Secret Eastern European recipe discovered on a Hollywood set.

For illustration purposes, I am using Natalia Vodianova. I am sure she eats soup. I don't know who took this picture, so whoever it is, they have the right to the picture. I am just illustrating a soup eater. And a mother of three. Here is her foundation that helps build playgrounds for children in Russia.

Too much fashion gets boring sometimes... and a girl needs to eat. Not too much, to fit into that sample size.
Soups are amazing, and the Eastern European soups are the best. Ever wondered why those Eastern Europeans girls look amazing? Well, lot of things... secret things... but one of them is eating soup. Instead of pasta or fries and fast-food.


So, this is an exceptional food post. And, if even an unexperienced cook as myself can make this, so can you.
I don't know how to write a recipe so I will just explain it to you as it was explained to me~ on a Hollywood set. From an Eastern european supermodel~Can't get better than that.


You put some water to boil. The quantity of water in not determined, but you should put more than just for a cup of coffee. Let your intelligence help you with this one.


Add salt, pepper and some seasonings to the water. Again, everything is relative.


Get some chicken drums and put them in the boiling water.


Get a carrot, parsnip, celery, onion and a tomato.


Chop everything and put the vegetables in the boiling water.


Add rice, quinoa or pasta too, if you want.


Let everything boil, add more seasonings, add parsley at the end and Bon Appetit.


Seriously, just that?


Seriously, yes.
