BABE your stylish ass better give us some nice content for the boys™️

Like i‘d love to know which style you can see the miya twins, sakusa, bokuto, suna, aran and tsukki in (ofc you don‘t need to do all of them, those were just the ones that came to my head regarding to style KEKDBDKE)

LOVE YOU

OKAY THANK YOU BABE ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 

I got waaaay to into it bc im just a hoe when it comes to fashion lol 

SOOOOO i have to split this AHAHA 

also side note: this is simply my opinion so pls don't feel offended if anyone thinks differently- also feel free to leave some comments - I’d love to know what you think of those lol 

their style pt.1 ( Atsumu, Osamu and Bokuto )  (pt.2)

Atsumu 

Atsumu is the fashionable boyfriend you always feel underdressed standing next to and he gives off bitchy vibes with his style 

ayt so his style is high-fashion mixed with techwear and eboy and accessories 

kinda blogger style ???? 

he definitely owns an oversized Cardigan ( preferable from a high end brand ) - one more basic in black and one ugly one that only he (and Osamu) can pull off -  AND YOU CAN FIGHT ME ON THIS 

ALSO HE IS A HOE FOR GUCCI !!!!!

also all the other expensive brands - he wont buy the fakes or knock offs - nahhhhh the real stuff or nothing 

now he also has more casual days where he’s wearing more relaxed fits aka sweatshirts, jeans, Vans / Jordans - kinda skater inspired ( also I feel like the twins skate ) 

but I feel he is more of a dressy pants person 

like something more formal ( the pants ) and mix those with something more streetwear 

also LAYERING IS KEY 

uhm colors: BLACK and Nudes - yet he throws in some fun colors here and there as an eye catcher 

oh and he mixed gold and silver YET he’s more a Silver  Guy

Osamu 

he’s the fashionable boyfriend you want and feel comfy with and looks chill and other turn around and try to dress their s/o that way

Okay so .. he is more relaxed 

Sweatshirts and jeans.

BUT also LAYERING 

and Accessoires!!! he doesn't use as much as Atsumu, he has his go-to pieces 

but he masters the art of accessories so all of his Fits look as if he spent hours when in fact it took him 5 minutes - max 15 bc he couldn't find this one particularly T-Shirt that looks like the 20 others he owns

more colourful than Atsumu tho 

but also gravitating to the more pastel / coffee shop side

OH and I feel like he as a thing for socks !

ANNNNND he also busy high quality basics! brands like Acne Studios and Helmut Lang 

twins

SO I put this because there are some things I want to mention 

THEY SHARE 

their style is kinda similar, they just combine the pieces differently 

so what they share : SHOES - they are addicted and it’s easier to share them 

TECWEAR 

CHAINS 

Sweatshirts- yes those old vintage ones from nike or some high end brand  

Also T-Shirts - yet they are more from streetstyle/Skater brands ( Obey, Stüssy, GOLF WANG ) 

Also y’all know G-Dragons cap with this long af piece of fabric? they have one in white and black 

also a Kangol Flatcap 504

and yes they also share those cardigans and also some dressy shirts too

oh also not everything is oversized- either pants or shirt 

when both tho then there is a belt or a cross body bag involved to still give some shape 

Bokuto

FUN FUN FUN - just looking at him you know that he’s the one who throws over the tower or enerydrinks at the store - also everyone wonders where his skateboard is? the boy we all wanted when we looked at those tumblr pics in 2014

90′s Windbreakers 

COLORS 

his closet looks like a colourful flower field 

JEANS light blue ! 

also sweatpants 

oh and NIKE SHOES !!!! ( only exceptions are vans ) 

also he can pull off matching sets 

uhmm still kinda eboy inspired further on... yes it was Atsumu's fault 

he literally just grabs something and puts it on and he looks as if he's  straight out of a fashion magazine 

oh and definitely oversized 

it’s really just a mix between sporty and blogger influences? 

he also got a thing for socks - will roll up his jeans to show them too 

OH and he owns a Casio watch in uhhhh gold. 

when he’s shopping he will just grab the most ridiculous looking piece of clothing and tries it on and BAM perfect match 

some brands..  well basically the typical skater / streetstyle brands tbh.. 

[gaysie]

like not to romanticize high school in 2014/15 but there was no better feeling than listening to blank space on the radio on the way to a cross country meet and then going to a sleepover at your friend’s basement while wearing galaxy leggings and watching attack on titan and then going to jc penney’s to get skater dresses for the winter semi formal where you’d jump around in a circle screaming along to uma thurman and then come home and watch a pirated version of the force awakens. we

Saw this on hrhatbat's blog but do you think you can rank Maxima's Prinsjesdag outfits?

So what I decided to do was rank all her looks since 2002 from least favourite to favourite. You can only upload 10 pics so I made some hasty, sloppy edits haha

19 - Natan in 2007. The hat gives me a toilet paper, candy floss kind of vibe. The jacket is way too informal for the occasion when compared to the dress, which I think is more of an older lady kind of dress. And her handbag appears to be a loofah

18 - Jan Taminiau in 2010. Like the hat. The beading looks like it’s for a dress you’d buy on Amazon and the weird fit doesn’t help

17 - Natan in 2005. If you look at close ups that jacket looks like suede. For the opening of parliament, with a formal dress. I know orange is the colour of the Netherlands but these weird, mishmashed tones of orange are not my favourite as it doesn’t look contrasting enough to be deliberate

16 - Jan Taminiau in 2011. The dress is ok. I like the sheerness to parts of it and the colour is interesting but that hat has no business being next to that gown

15 - Bernito Fernández in 2004. Maxima really suits big hats best and this fascinator look stuck on. The dress itself is quite nice but just being all in one fabric it looks heavy

14 - Natan in 2002. Red looks gorgeous on her. The fascinator is very early 2000s and I don’t love the fluted hem but it feels like there’s a flavour of her Argentinian heritage here which is fun as this was her first time

13- Claes Iversen in 2016. I love the hat. The colours are quintessential Maxima and it’s very regal but it’s a bit stiff and it doesn’t excite me, it’s predictable

12 - Claes Iversen in 2020. On anyone else this would probably be bottom of the list but Maxima just has such confidence that it somehow works. It also gives me a bit of a Latin flavour with the ruffles and the headpiece is gorgeous. But yellow is rarely my favourite colour and there were looks I liked more

11 - Herbert Rouwers in 2008. I am still not sure if this should be 11th or 12th. I love a hat with well placed flowers and I think the dress looks really effortless but it’s a bit unpolished compared to some of her later looks

10 - Jan Taminiau in 2013. The hat is gorgeous with the dress, the gold is very regal and it all works perfectly worn the colours in the sash to bring out the blue but again it’s just a little bit predictable

9. Natan in 2012. I love the colour on her and with the sash and the hat is divine, so elegant. But it’s maybe just a bit too simple

8. Natan in 2017. I love this style of hat as it’s still big, which suits her, but is away from the face. I honestly don’t have much to say about this dress which is why it’s middle of the pack. It’s nice but bleh

7. Luisa Beccaria in 2018. I really like the hat, the flowers are well placed and the pinky tones work with her hair and skin tone. I love the shades in the dress so you can’t work out exactly what colour it is. But the bodice doesn’t look like it fits right, possibly because of the fabric

6. Jan Taminiau in 2009. I shouldn’t like this dress because the beading is clumped around the middle but I just do? It’s impactful but still simple. I like a net headpiece but I do prefer her in hats

5. Valentino in 2014. I love the hat at the back of the head, red is gorgeous on her and I think having the whole thing in this shade from hat to gloves makes what could be a boring dress way more impactful

4. Jan Taminiau in 2015. I think this is a very elegant dress but I particularly love how she accessorised it. The choice of the purple brings out the flowers in the dress and it all becomes very romantic. There’s some seaming issues in the bodice that can’t go unnoticed

3. Natan in 2003. This is so adorable. She was pregnant and I think this is comfortable without being dull. It’s a dress that would work in lots of time periods and on lots of women. I love the shades of pink as it seems deliberate rather than a hodge podge. And a pillbox hat is the height of elegance when done correctly as this is

2. Natan in 2006. This dress perfectly hits the mark for Prinsjesdag. It’s a weird occasion - hats with ball gowns and sashes - but the combination of the skirt and jacket captures that midway between day and evening. I love the floral headpiece too, it’s big but not overwhelming

1. Jan Taminiau in 2019. It had to be. This oxblood colour is my favourite colour ever. The leather gloves with that shade are just such a powerful combo to me. I love anything cape like - it’s my kryptonite - and the beading on this makes it more impactful for the occasion. The hat doesn’t look fantastic in this pic but in others it’s just the right size for her.

After a years-long wait, The Crown is finally introducing Princess Diana as a character for its fourth season, which will premiere on November 15. Over the last year, on-set photos have emerged, showing actor Emma Corrin as a perfect match for the young princess. The Netflix show also put energy into recreating her iconic wardrobe, and a teaser released in August featured Corrin in a spot-on replica of the dress Diana wore in her 1981 wedding to Prince Charles. In an interview with British Vogue, Corrin explained that the show painstakingly recreated the dress by working with the dress’s designers Elizabeth and David Emanuel.

“The Emanuels, who designed the original, gave us the patterns, and then it was made for me,” Corrin told the magazine, adding that about 10 people had to help her put it on because of its size. “I walked out and everyone went completely silent. More than anything else I wear in the series, it’s so… It’s her.”

Corrin also said that she felt like she came to understand Diana while playing her. “I feel I’ve got to know Diana like you would a friend,” she said. “I know that sounds really weird, but I get a great sense of companionship from her. I suppose, over time, you kind of start to patch together a sense of empathy and a sense of understanding. I love figuring people out.”

Diana’s actual dress used to be on display at Althorp House, the estate belonging to the Spencer family where she spent her teen years, but since 2014 it has been privately owned by Prince Harry and Prince William. The Emanuels were chosen to design the wedding dress after meeting Diana through a Vogue editor and dressing her for a few formal events. In 2017, David Emanuel told E! News that he and his then-wife Elizabeth intentionally designed the dress’s 25-foot train to break the record of 20 feet set by a previous royal bride.

Though some of The Crown is “heavily dramatized,” as a royal insider once put it, the show’s historical consultant Robert Lacey is a royal expert who pays close attention to the details. It’s also not the first time the show has commissioned a replica of a famous royal wedding dress. When Vanessa Kirby’s Princess Margaret married Antony Armstrong-Jones, the show dressed her in a quickly-made copy of the sleek gown designed for the occasion by Norman Hartnell.

In 2019, the show’s costume designer, Jane Petrie told Vanity Fair that perfect replicas aren’t very common on the show. “There aren’t as many copies in The Crown as you might imagine: we only did it when it felt right,” she said. “More often we’d take the spirit of what’s real and adapt it for the scene, working closely with the show’s royal advisor, Major David Rankin-Hunt, who was on set all day to answer any questions about royal style and etiquette.”

Five Gray Flannel Trousers for under $150

Pictured above: grey flannel trousers from eHaberdasher.

Check out my 2020/2021 update: Flannel Trousers under $159.

Four Mid-Grey Trousers for under $150, published in 2014, is one of my perennially popular posts. Sadly, as Pete at Put This On once observed, expensive things aren’t getting any cheaper. While there are still many options out there for grey flannel wool trousers, most weigh in at over $200. None of the pants in the 2014 post are available anymore. Nor are any of the five options in a follow-up post. Some of the retailers seem to have abandoned carrying wool flannel dress trousers altogether.

Which is too bad. As I wrote in the original post:

A cool-weather staple and a garment on almost every “essential wardrobe” list, the grey flannel trouser is the functional equivalent of jeans in a tailored wardrobe—you can wear them with almost anything.

With a navy blazer, spread collar shirt, and striped tie you’ll be about as formal as you can get short of wearing a suit. Pair them with just about any sport coat in any color or pattern (except solid grey, of course) and they’ll go well together. Swap the sport coat for a navy chunky cardigan or suede A1 blouson and you’ve got a sophisticated casual look. They even look great with just a slim merino v-neck sweater in navy, burgundy or forest green for a reliable business casual outfit—though I recommend wearing that with interesting outerwear to keep it from looking too staid.

I set out to see if affordable grey wool flannel trousers are still a thing in 2019. I’m happy to report that they are, though with a compromise: you’ll notice I dropped “mid-grey” from the title.

Keep reading for the full roundup.

Buttoned Down Slim Italian Wool Flannel Pants

$139. Available in Charcoal. Offered by Amazon’s house label for tailored clothing, these trousers feature an extended tab closure and split waistband. Menswear indoctrination has me somewhat skeptical of charcoal trousers, but Simon Crompton of Permanent Style is an advocate. Peter at The Essential Man calls charcoal trousers his “secret weapon”.

One other thing: as a 5′6″ guy, I appreciate that Amazon offers these in 29″ and 28″ inseams, a rarity among major retailers. Matching jacket available (not a huge fan of the slim lapels). Also available in Classic fit.

Nordstrom Men’s Shop Trim Fit Flannel Wool Dress Pants

$129. Available in Grey Shade Heather (mid-grey) and Grey Sleet Heather (light grey). I appreciate that Nordstrom is the only retailer from the 2014 post that makes the list. These trousers from one of their house labels feature a slim fit (15″ leg opening on size 32) and are lined to the knee. They come unhemmed, but Nordstrom offers free basic alterations in-store.

Spier and Mackay VBC Flannel Dress Trousers

$148. Available in Medium Gray, Light Gray Twill, and Medium Gray Houndstooth. That’s “VBC” as in “Vitale Barberis Canonico”, the 350-year old Italian wool mill. I also like their oatmeal-colored light brown flannel trouser. For $10 more, consider Spier and Mackay’s high-rise flannel trousers, which feature a single pleat, side-tab adjusters, and an extended waistband. 

If you’re a first time Spier & Mackay customer, you can get 20% off your first order with my referral code 33UGHT.

Jomers Italian Wool Flannel Pants

$74. Available in Heather Dark Gray. Also sourced from Vitale Barberis Canonico. I picked up a pair of their Abraham Moon Donegal wool trousers a couple weeks ago, and I’m impressed by what they’ve been able to pull off at this pricepoint: extended tab closure, Bemberg-lined to the knee, and a rubber grip strip in the waistband to help keep your shirt tucked in.

Bella Spalla Gray Flannel Trousers

$135. Available in Medium Grey Melange. These are my current go-to flannel trousers — I’m wearing a pair right now as I type up this post. Bella Spalla is a house label for online menswear retailer eHaberdasher, who consistently produces quality garments at reasonable prices. Unfortunately, sizing is limited, so consider looking at grey flannel trousers from their other two lines, Benjamin and The Wardrobe.

Swan Lake - no longer a fairy tale

Right, so... Nobody asked me to, but something so marginal cannot stop me, clearly, so I went and translated the longest, the trickiest, the most profound review I have ever written. (And that includes POB Giselle, Swan Lake and Onegin! OK. Maybe not Onegin. But since I’ve done this one I can almost make myself believe I could give translating Onegin a go as well.) (She said and then promptly kill herself before she could made another clearly, completely and utterly deranged decision.)

Half of the things don’t make sense, I’m sure. And I can only hope they made sense in the original. (Which they probably didn’t, let’s be real, but since when this matters to me anyway?) (God, I literally cannot stop babbling, somebody strangle me or something. Or at least take the keyboard from my grabby and apparently very high fingers, that decided to simply vomit words after words for no real reason and with no brain to mouth/fingers filter whatsoever!)

It’s in times like this I truly wish to be able to write in an actual English language. Or for my mother language to be a world language, not some beautiful, hot mess, but a mess nonetheless, from the middle of nowhere. A mess I despite of everything love dearly and even live in this illusion of me being really pretty good in using (or more like playing with) it.

What is also clear - I, for a reason not known to humans, love to write absurdly, ridiculously long sentences. Be it just up to me, I’d write a whole review in one obscure linguistic construction I call a perfectly normal sentence. I was told however, that English doesn’t really do or like such things, so I tried to shorten them. Or some of them. Was really unbelievably succesfull doing so...

No reason to prolong this now, I guess?

So just, please be patient. Or benevolent. Or try to laugh in private at least! Look, I tried and I know it’s actually rather pathetic to be so spectacularly bad in English grammar, that I supposedly learnt from the age of 5 (but then spent more than 15 years actively hating the whole language, which... doesn’t make sense, I admit, but maybe explain some things), but... I mean, it would be better than google translate, if anything else. It HAS TO be!

As always - I appologize for anything and everything I did to the poor English language. It doesn’t deserve such a poor treatment.

Were there anybody who would feel personally attacked by my sheer ignorance of the basics of language of Shakespeare, Byron or Shelley and would want to make this thing better, let me know! (Even though I am afraid there are so many mistakes, your eyes will be bleeding around the end of 2nd paragraph...)

Last one - I have no idea how in/definite articles work!

(Good thing I don’t write fiction of any sort, ANs would be longer than the actual thing.)

Swan Lake, no longer a fairy tale

 Whenever the two words – Swan Lake – were mentioned, everybody had some universally shared idea of the final picture. Nothing has drastically changed with John Neumeier (1976, Illusionen – wie Schwanensee), who mixed the original fairy story with events from prince Ludwig II of Bavaria’s life, nor with Mats Ek (1987), whose prince was torn between imaginary princess Odette and real life Odile, nor with Jean-Christophe Maillot (2011, Le Lac) and new relations between his main characters, not even with Alexander Ekman (2014, A Swan Lake), who came back in time and took a look at the first premiere of said ballet in 1877 and tried to make a rather poetic story about what from certain point was started to be called a fiasco. As if the later Petipa/Ivanov version needs any more boost…

The unshakable certitude was irretrievably broken in 1995 by Matthew Bourne. His Swan Lake was new, daring, bold, with unexpected twists and one could not left theatre feeling indifferent after seeing it. Part of the ballet world turned its back to such profanity of beloved classic. The other part fell for its captivating charm, and since in 2018 Bourne’s Swan Lake came back to his New Adventure’s repertoire for umpteenth time, after hundreds of successful shows, many tours across the globe, adorned with every possible theatre and dance awards, it seems clear who were right then, 24 years ago.

  The most common characteristic of Bourne’s Swan Lake is „the male one“. Prince is in the centre of attention, black swan Odile is changed into unknown Stranger, and most obviously – all the swans became purely men’s business. Which opens completely new perspective for male dancers and saying that this ballet has a major influence to whole generations of artists is hardly an overstatement.

  Bourne follows the original structure and basic frame of Swan Lake. There are still four acts, act one follows the Prince, his character, the environment he’s living in, relations he has, act two is for the swans, act three still represents the ball, and in act four, where traditionally the Prince is coming back to the lake, here the swans appear in prince’s room. Many times even the formal structure is intact – the prince’s solo at the end of act one, pas de quatre of both little and big swans, or Bourne’s take on character dances in act three. Even the entrée of swans in second act follows the same space structure of the Ivanov’s original /aka swans are coming one after the other and crossing the stage from left to right (dancers‘ perspective)/.

  Oedipal Complex, repressed sexuality, low self-esteem

Bourne’s Prince, his personality, is more than ever influenced by his upbringing, by the estrangement of aristocratic background, his world constantly controlled, constricted by rules and rituals, with no spaces for affection, understanding, empathy, every emotion being replaced by duty. Bond between son and mother the Queen (ice cold, distant Katrina Lyndon for whom one cannot feel an ounce of sympathy, or more emotional, but still dismissive Nicole Cabera) is minute, almost non-existent, which has such a strong impact on the introverted, socially inept, insecure Prince, who is on top of all that haunted by strange dreams about swans. The feeling of lacking something gets even worse when he clearly sees his mother is more than capable of showing emotions, particularly towards another young men.

During yet another military parade or boat christening or exhibition opening, the heir to the throne is met with a bit silly, ill-mannered and completely unsuitable girl for his royal life (incomparable Carrie Willis, whose interpretation makes her character pretty sweet with candid, open-hearted warmth), who shortly after became his girlfriend and went with the family to the opera house to watch a ballet performance. Staging theatre scenes within the actual production /we call it theatre on theatre, which probably doesn’t make sense in any other language then ours, sorry/ is always very rewarding. Bourne is on top of that master of choreographic punchline and this scene (to pas de trois from Act I music) combines all clichés from romantic sylphs, awaken Floras, forest beasts to well-built male heroes one could think of and is a joy to watch for its grotesqueness as well as for the subtle details in gestures, ballet quirky manner or choreographic pattern for those, who know where to look for them.

The prince is trying to find his freedom in a night club, but to no avail. He’s met there unexpectedly with his frolicking girlfriend, then he got himself into a fight with one of her suitors (or maybe rather clients) and at the end his soul is beaten for good, when he has to watch the royal secretary paying some money to the one girl, whose affections he believed were genuine. (And it kind of doesn’t matter they most probably truly were.)

The only logical solution for the prince is a suicide. But before he’s able to throw himself into waters of a small park lake, majestic Swan appears and everything is changed at once. Traditional swans‘ corps de ballet danced by women is often associated with delicate elegance, crystalline beauty, dreamy atmosphere and aesthetics of homogeneously moving bodies. Swan is becoming a pure ideal almost as if from ancient Greece. Bourne’s swans are first and foremost animals, he’s not denying their grace, but is showing their slight awkwardness and ridiculousness in some movements at the same time. His swans are wild, independent, fetterless. Looking sinister when lining up to attack the prince, their physical, natural power strengthened by additional slapping arms, stamping feet, hissing and dangerously sharp, audible breathing. The Swan alone is very wary of the prince, uncompromisingly harsh, defensive, with sharp edges of aggressiveness that serves as self-defence of this imposing, powerful creature from anybody who would think of causing any harm. The almost imperceptible gestures calling the prince towards him are even more meaningful then, the moment when he nuzzles prince’s chest indescribably intimate.

Next evening there’s a ball at the palace. And even though it may seem the main reason of it is prince’s engagement thanks to all the ladies present, it’s the queen in her bright crimson dress amongst all black gowns who is in the spotlight. While her son doesn’t even know, what he should be doing with all said ladies. Break from routine comes with mysterious Stranger, whose raw, animalistic charisma draws every female’s attention to him, which he welcomes with great satisfaction. At the same time it also affects, quite unintentionally, the utterly unprepared prince, because Stranger’s arrogant dominance has something from Swan’s animalistic fierce. /Dear English language, you have many words. More than my mother language. But you have exactly nothing that would or could match prchlivost. Or at least I am unable to find it./ As Odile in original libretto, the Stranger dances his way through character dances (the Neapolitan one stands out with its light-hearted fun it makes of cliché Italian relationships) and finds his dancing peak in duet with the queen (music of so called Black Swan Pas de Deux). It is when prince’s psyche breaks and he, in his imagination, is thrown in arms of unknown to be faced with intimacy, sensuality, sexual tension and even the most basic physical contact, everything so strong even person of sound mind would probably find it difficult to cope. Therefore, when the Stranger kisses the queen, prince is there with gun in his hands and complete madness in his eyes. In chaotic situation gunshot is heard (although not by prince’s pistol), prince’s girlfriend falls dead and terrified young man is drawn away.

The tragedy is inevitable. To padded cell, where the prince is held, come doctor with the queen followed by group of nurses with queen’s face, whose hairstyle and white uniform may resemble the demonic nurse Ratched from the Miloš Forman’s film Flew over the cuckoo’s nest. After certain medical procedure (just shy from lobotomy) the prince is taken to his room, where the miserable, wounded Swan emerges from his bed. Shortly after he is followed by irritated flock of other swans, that throw themselves unbridled on the young man and then even on their supposed leader, doing so with brutality growing with every Swan’s desperate attempt to save his prince. The Swan dies at the end after their fatal, almost fanatical attack. And with him die prince’s illusions, dreams, hopes and then he himself. So when the Queen comes in the morning, all she finds is her son’s dead body, the sight of the Swan embracing his prince behind the bed the only, yet bittersweet comfort for the audience.

  As many other versions of this famous ballet, this too strengthens psychological aspect of the story and deepens characters‘ personalities. Here, more than ever, the contours of main characters are pretty blurry. The prince and the Swan are blending into one, they are reflected in the other, full of opposites they are complementing each other, one would say they are like two sides of the same coin. /Ha!/ Bourne on top of that let his characters to blend with different original ones. Where in traditional Swan Lakes it’s Odette weeping at the beginning of the last scene, here it’s the Prince, who is going through mental breakdown in striking resemblance to Giselle’s mad scene. The role of Rothbart, the sorcerer, is played by the royal secretary as well as prince’s own mother, who at the same time plays a part of original Siegfried during the act 3 ball, when being seduced by Stranger, who is Odile. What may seem as confusing chaos at first sight, makes perfect sense in the end and strengthens the unquestionably dark tones of Bourne’s choreographic vision.

  Artistic approaches or One man’s meat is another man’s poison…

As it always is with story ballets, individual artistic interpretation is something that has the power to change the final image of said piece. In case of Bourne’s Swan Lake and its current stars, the outcome may be completely different with each cast.

  Where Liam Mower was bored, annoyed, slightly defiant teenage Prince, Dominic North’s hero was more tired, depressed young man with no illusions, very well aware of all his flaws and inability to fulfil all expectations of his social role, while James Lovell, who seemed most out of touch with reality, emphasized prince’s childishly pure, honest naivety. If the suicide attempt of Mower’s prince was more than anything a dramatic gesture, North was simply resigned to its inevitability, and Lovell threw himself into the waters with absolute, desperate abandon, his mind not able to see any other solution. Each and every prince is then influenced by his Swan and Stranger (and every Swan and Stranger by his prince).

Matthew Ball, the newest principal of the Royal Ballet, can rely on his first-class technique as well as on his unquestionable elegant stage presence. His pliable body felt the music to its very last molecule, every movement full of regal charm and classical beauty, which in a way brought Ball closer to traditional, delicately soft, feminine portrayal of Odette. His Swan was untouchable in his impeccable perfection, icily confident, aware of every gesture he made, of every prince’s fascinated glance. Max Westwell, former soloist of English National Ballet, concentrated more on the raw temperament, natural animal distrust, physical power and ferocity combined with enigmatic magnificence. Dynamics of his movements escalated at all times, was full of unexpected turns and transitions from strong, energetic endings, to exhalation captured in casual, seemingly ordinary movement of hanging wrist.

As the Stranger Ball looked like smug dandy enjoying himself and all the attention, all too well aware of his own youth and beauty, that make everybody fall for him. Personally though I couldn’t help thinking he wasn’t as in charge as it might look at the first sight. He was mocking his prince, showing off ostentatiously. Weswell on the other hand was the embodiment of pure, uncompromising charisma. Interactions between him and Mower’s prince, who was impressed by Stranger’s unconventional, rough manners at first, was quickly becoming a tense fight for power, the prince trying to prove himself worthy of Stranger’s attention, to prove he’s his equal. With Lovell’s prince the seducing, open flirting, blatant sexuality was much more evident, which combined with this prince’s ingenuous innocence made the final picture unpleasantly sinister.

 Regardless of different casts, ending of the ballet became a real emotional roller-coaster. With Matthew Ball and Dominic North equal in their complete despair when being sure of the inevitable death of their partner. Ball’s total resignation the more palpable, the more he was stubbornly, despite his injuries trying to stay or at least look unaffected on the outside. Change of Westwell’s Swan, in act 2 so independent and powerful, was shocking. Now he was utterly, hopelessly, painfully broken. He was defending both his princes against furious swans with rabid determination, with no self-preservation whatsoever, with perfect, devoted abandon. Bond between him and James Lovell’s prince was then strengthened by certain feel of responsibility, by tenderness that felt almost motherly. He was not only trying to protect, but to sooth, to give some comfort to his prince as well with physical contact, with touches stronger, more frequent, more expressive, more meaningful. That was why prince’s positively hysterical, agonizing grief hurt almost physically then.

 Bourne managed something extraordinary. His Swan Lake with costumes by Lez Brotherson is as iconic, as legendary as the original ballet. His vision as strong as let’s say Ek’s Giselle. What’s more, Bourne’s ballet doesn’t age, it hasn’t lost any of its impact – thanks to slight costume, dramaturgic and choreographic changes, that only strengthen its drive. Prince’s hinted homosexuality won‘t shock anyone anymore as well as men swans won’t provoke such controversy, true. But thanks to these examples it is evident, that Bourne’s ballet is so much more than just a gay version of one famous story…

For everybody who actually reach the end of this madness - congratulations. And I am sorry.

In the province of Palermo (Sicily) in the open countryside, an old family house of the seventies was completely renovated in line with the needs of an adult client with three children (2 boys and 1 girl). The apartment consists of an entrance / study area, a living-dining room, a kitchen, a laundry / ironing room with a food pantry, a toilet for guests (with forced ventilation), a night-time hallway, a storage room , a master bedroom with a dressing room and a bathroom, two bedrooms for two sons, with a shared bathroom, and a bedroom with a bathroom for the daughter in the bedroom.

The 16 internal doors are all sliding doors without external finishes (Eclisse Syntesis® Line), able to disappear completely into the wall. A choice that reflects the formal and compositional cleanliness that characterizes the entire apartment. The heights of the various doors coincide with the heights of the servant spaces, 240 cm in the sleeping area, 270 cm in the entrance / study, in the living room and in the kitchen. Thanks to this solution it was possible to realize a space with two functions: the entrance / study. The two sliding doors, 130 cm wide and 270 cm high, allow open doors to have a passage space attached to the living room and to the kitchen / guest hallway, with closed doors to transform this space into a studio for those who need silence and privacy. The servant and served space were paved with planks of Iroko nailed solid. All the bathrooms have been paved and covered with an innovative eco-friendly material, “Ecomalta” by Oltremateria, while the kitchen and laundry floor is in 60×60 porcelain stoneware, rectified, cement gray color. The taps and fittings of all bathrooms are in stainless steel AISI 316 / L, satin finish (CEADESIGN). The kitchen is a “Bulthaup B3” with worktop, sink and sides in stainless steel combined with materials such as laminate, aluminum and wood. The wood-burning fireplace is in painted steel with a closed hearth (Piazzetta – MA 271 SL) All the lighting is recessed, with lamps and LED strips, warm white 3000K dimmable, except the chandelier placed above the dining table that is the same as the old house. Many items of furniture in the house come from the owners’ old apartment. The bookcase, the low TV-fireplace unit and all the built-in furniture have been handcrafted according to the design by the architect. The external windows of the living area and the kitchen are sliding “frameless” windows with perimeter profiles embedded in the walls, ceiling and floor to allow maximum incidence of natural light and a complete and wide view of the outside garden. (Company “Orama Minimal Frames”) In order to improve the levels of thermal-acoustic insulation and environmental comfort, a radiant ceiling system has been installed: an integrated heating and cooling system that exploits the ceiling capacity to exchange heat and cold by irradiation with the environment and with people ensuring high levels of comfort. The radiant system is completed with an air dehumidification system (it works in radiant cooling) both to prevent condensation from forming on the surface of the rooms and to ensure a feeling of comfort and healthy air in the rooms while maintaining the relative humidity less than 60 ÷ 65%. The intrados of this radiant system has a useful internal height of not less than 2.70 m for the rooms used as dwellings (2.90 for the living) and 2.40 m for the corridors, the lobbies, the bathrooms and the closets. The Heat Pump is a “Sherpa AQUADUE®” by Olimpia Splendid which, by combining an inverter-based air-water heat pump with a second water-water stage, ensures cooling or heating at the same time as high-DHW production temperature (up to 75 ° C), regardless of external weather conditions.

Keir Starmer pushes to scrap one-member-one-vote for Labour leader and return power to MPs

Keir Starmer pushes to scrap one-member-one-vote for Labour leader and return power to MPs

Keir Starmer is pushing to scrap Labour‘s one-member-one-vote approach to party leadership elections and move to an “electoral college” system dominated by MPs – in a move that would likely lock the party’s left wing out of power for good.

Labour’s ruling national executive is expected to hear the plans at a meeting on Friday evening, with the leadership’s intention to put the change to the party’s annual conference next week.

Under the system, the vote for leader would be split one third between MPs, one third between unions, and one third between constituency Labour parties – in contrast to now where all party members get a single equal vote.

The change, which critics say is a factional move to permanently disempower opponents of the leadership, would return Labour to a similar system to the one used until 2014, when one-member-one-vote (OMOV) was introduced by Ed Miliband.

Labour MPs, most from from the left of the party, broke ranks on Tuesday ahead to slam the proposal – warning that it would undermine party democracy.

“As a Labour MP, I should have no greater say in leadership elections than other Labour members,” said Rachael Maskell, a shadow culture minister on Sir Keir’s front bench.

“The members are ultimately the Party and they should equally elect their leader. OMOV is the most democratic system. Let’s respect our members, let’s respect Party democracy.”

Veteran left-winger Jon Trickett said on Tuesday night that any such move was “a wrong headed backwards step which ought to be rejected” while former shadow chancellor John McDonnell said it was “critical Labour MPs make it clear they reject this proposal and reassert right of members to elect leader”.

Keir Starmer’s office and Labour’s press operation declined to comment on the proposals, which are yet to be formally published but which have been widely briefed.

No Labour MPs have yet publicly endorsed the plan or made arguments for it, but many moderates privately support it as a way of marginalising their factional opponents. Some commentators have proposed various justifications for removing the vote from members, such as that MPs represent non-member constituents, that members cannot be trusted, or that the party leader needs to be on good terms with MPs.

The party leadership also plans to change the rules to make it harder for party members to challenge unpopular MPs with a “trigger ballot”. Most political parties in the UK have members select their candidate for MPs before the election, but Labour sets a higher bar for challenges to prevent members from ousting MPs and ruining their careers.

Under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership the rules were changed so that an MP could be challenged for the party’s nomination if one third of either party branches or affiliate branches in a constituency voted in favour of it. However, the LabourList website reports that the leadership wants to raise this bar to a majority rather than one third.

Sir Keir was elected leader on a left-wing platform aping Jeremy Corbyn’s 2017 manifesto, but has quickly shed many of his his campaign promises and appointed Blairites to key positions in the party.

The proposed rule change for electing the party leadership is expected to effectively lock the left out of the leadership in future because the right wing of the Labour Party dominates the parliamentary Labour Party (PLP). The rule change to make it harder to challenge sitting MPs would “double lock” the system so that MPs remained overwhelmingly aligned to the party’s moderate, right or centre.

If the rule change is to happen the proposal it must first get through the NEC and conference. Left-wing NEC members say it should be ruled out of order because it was “sprung” on them at the last minute. Passing the motion would also require the support of moderate-led unions, including Unison, USDAW and the GMB.

It is currently unknown whether the leadership could get the plan through the party’s conference. While the party’s left has still come top in all internal elections since Sir Keir was elected leader, tens of thousands of mostly left-leaning members are thought to have left the party, with more suspended or excluded by the party’s staff ahead of the annual meeting.

The current one-member-one-vote system was originally introduced on the initiative of Labour’s right wing to make it harder to elect left-wingers to the leadership, but the system’s original proponents miscalculated their own popularity and ended up with Jeremy Corbyn.

An examination paper ready for the European Peace Facility (EPF), an European Union venture for harmony support activities across the globe, has uncovered that psychological oppressor gatherings, Boko Haram and the Islamic State for West African Province (ISWAP), had dispatched 500 assaults on army installations and developments of the Multi-public Joint Task Force (MNJTF) somewhere in the range of 2015 and 2020.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

The paper introduced by a Researcher and Director, S4 Initiative (Safeguarding Security Sector Stockpiles) situated in Borex, Switzerland, Mr Eric Berman, named: “The Management of Lethal Materiel in Conflict Settings: Existing Challenges and Opportunities for the European Peace Facility”, said deadly weapons including little and light arms seized from the army installations during assaults by psychological oppressors, supported the 12-year uprising in Nigeria and the Lake Chad district.

While the report refered to debasement and decreased assurance as being to a great extent answerable for loss of gear, the Defense Headquarters (DHQ) has anyway said the Armed Forces of Nigeria were winning the conflict against insurrection in every one of the performance centers of tasks, including the North East and the North West areas sof the country.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

Safeguard Spokesman, Maj. Gen. Olufemi Sawyerr, said the way that large number of extremists were giving up with their families and setting out their arms, meant that administration was winning the conflict against insurrection, adding that the demonstration of give up wasalso an indication of triumph for the country.

Yet, the examination paper asserted that somewhere in the range of 2015 and 2020, about 2,368 “formally dressed faculty fatalities were recorded���, focusing additionally that the agitators dispatched 500 assaults on MNJTF bases inside a six-year time span, where no less than 2,368 military staff were killed.

A breakdown of the figure showed that Nigeria recorded 1,952 fatalities while Chad recorded 217; Niger, 132 and Cameroon 67.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

“Official information concerning assaults on security area work force is hard to acquire, yet reports propose that in excess of 2,000 formally dressed security area faculty have passed on in the contention.

“However disturbing as these numbers may be, they probably under-gauge the genuine scale and extent of the misfortunes caused concerning the security faculty of the four Lake Chad Basin nations.

“A commemoration to fallen friends since 2013 at the base camp of the Nigerian military’s activities in Northeast Nigeria had in 2018 recorded the names of in excess of 1,300 officers engraved on it,” it said.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

An expected 600 fighters lost their lives in assaults by Boko Haram and kicked the bucket inside a multi month time span in 2018 alone,” the report expressed, refering to explore specialists.

In excess of 100 Cameroonian officers lost their lives in assaults by Boko Haram in 2014 and 2015, even as three separate assaults on police focuses in N’Djamena in June 2015, brought about a larger number of than 100 setbacks, including many passings, a considerable lot of whom were individuals from the police.

The report additionally point by point reasons why weapons are lost to guerillas.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

“The deficiency of materiel as an immediate result of these assaults is considerable. A firearm truck, fitted with an automatic rifle will oftentimes move a few tins of connected cartridges totalling many rounds of ammo. In some cases considerable amounts of weaponry kept at the base as stores can be taken from military positions the extremists had themselves assaulted.

“At the point when a base is invaded, team served weaponry, for example, assault rifles, mortars and towed big guns” are trucked away, “yet, a ton of that materiel is in sufficient condition to be useful to the aggressors,” it said.

Unexpected claimed gear got through seizure from local security powers probably overshadows materiel really take a look at focuses, forward working bases, “Super Camps” and area central command,” it said.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

Berman, likewise refering to explore works, said, “Defilement goes far to clarifying why hardware is inadequate. It is endemic inside Nigerian culture to verifiably blame the military for deliberately drawing out the contention for their own closures and current President Muhammadu Buhari, recognized this, promising to counter it as a focal part against dug in debasement inside the military, going from blackmail at designated spots of his first official mission in 2015.

“Be that as it may, the test confronting the nation is gigantic and progress has been slow and lopsided. Impropriety inside the guard area is in no way, shape or form restricted to Nigeria. It is an issue all through a significant part of the world, incorporating somewhere else in the sub-locale,” it clarified.

The report additionally tracked down that the territorial reaction to the “Boko Haram” struggle highlighted both the requirement for EU support—for instance through the arrangement of deadly materiel and preparing by means of European Peace Facility (EPF) and the evaluation of dangers inborn in any sort of commitment.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

“The degrees of loss of formally dressed work force and deadly materiel from state reserves in the Lake Chad district are amazingly high. In six years (somewhere in the range of 2015 and 2020) a few fold the number of formally dressed staff serving in and close by the Multinational Joint Task Force were killed because of ‘vindictive demonstrations’ than those, who have served in UN peacekeeping activities over a range of over 70 years.

“Announcing recommends that Boko Haram groups have held onto Contingent-claimed Equipment (COE) that incorporates a wide-scope of substantial weapon frameworks. A portion of the heavily clad vehicles and towed big guns lost to Boko Haram started from EU part states. The amount of little arms and light weapons—large numbers of which additionally were made in the EU—is extraordinary to the point that it has supported the rebellion for longer than 10 years,” Berman said.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

The report, in this way, suggested EU’s further commitment with the African Union (AU) and the ECOWAS in resolving issues raised by the report.

These regardless, Maj. Gen Sawyerr, the safeguard representative, who was not happy with the report, disclosed to THISDAY that the Armed Forces of Nigeria were winning the conflict against revolt and outfitted banditry.

“We are winning the conflict in the North East and North West and the fear based oppressors are giving up in enormous numbers. Can any anyone explain why it is since we are obviously winning the conflict that such report is coming up to drag us back. We are winning the conflict and a huge number of them are giving up with their families. What else are we saying?” he questioned.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

MNJTF’s Director of Public Communication, Col Muhammed Dole, was at this point to react to inquiries regarding the report charged for show today as at the hour of filling this report.
