No longer do fans of Stila and Nars have to save up for a trip across the water in order to stock up on designer make-up essentials. The ultra-modern Blue Riu, just off Grafton Street, offers the ultimate in lipstick luxury and eye-shadow heaven. Brands include Shiseido, BeneFit and Aveda, making this strictly for those with money to burn. Blue Riu also offers beauty treatments (including manicures and facials) from such names as Dr Hauschka, Eve Lom and Elemis. One of the most desirable items to have in your possession these days is their trademarked little blue bag, signalling a mad spending spree.

Crime Scene

It’s an interesting concept, this. A whole bunch of crime scene photographs from the 1950s pulled together to form an exhibition of a very distinctive artistic nature. The police photographers who arrived at the scene had to capture the mood, freeze the clues and imagine the best way to frame the scene for future investigative work. Their efforts, dislocated now from the detective’s notes and court reports, convey the turmoil that confronted them when they entered an ordinary place that hadbeen the scene of extraordinary, horrible deeds.

Animated Film Festival

4caribbeanvilla — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 02:00:02 +0000

Fart jokes and phallic innuendo might be a strange way to celebrate the 19th birthday of an animated film festival but, if you decide to open it with ‘South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut’, that’s what you get. Despite that, the festival will prove that there’s far more to animation than Homer Simpson’s furrowed brow, providing an ideal forum for wannabe cartoonists to learn the tricks of the trade, with numerous workshops and guests speakers including ‘Star Wars’ animation director Rob Coleman. A competition for Belgian shorts (films, not trousers) will also be launched.

SfeQ + Manik Munde

4caribbeanvilla — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 03:02:20 +0000

Having long ago fused funk, jazz, hip hop and improvisation into an unique, acclaimed and ultimately rocking brew, SfeQ seek to broaden their palette further by inviting the classically trained Indian tabla player Manik Munde to join them for an evening of virtuosity. Be sure to tie up your jaw to save it from dropping.

Visions of the Body: Fashion or Invisible Corset

4caribbeanvilla — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 03:01:37 +0000

In this intriguing exhibition, a variety of designers and artists collaborate to explore the way in which clothing is used to accentuate the human body’s natural angles and curves. Work on display ranges from the functional – a collection of airline stewardess-style uniforms – to the downright bizarre – a tunic designed to look like a straitjacket, or a plain cotton dress with a Victorian-style bustle. Diaphanous materials and bondage-style garments also feature heavily.
