Techno Parade in Paris

Mónica Boixeda

Expect the Techno Parade 2011 to be held on September 17 in the streets of Paris to be a whirlwind of life, enjoyment and celebration of music  This year there will be more than twenty floats decorated with scenes from the techno culture plus  150 DJ`s that will have everyone dancing in the streets This dance party that takes place in public space and celebrates the eccentricities of carnival, known popularly as the music festival of happy people due to the positive mood generated by the costumes, the multicultural gathering of music and the march thru the city ??where everyone walks to the rhythm of techno´s finest musicians. The reasons that led to the creation of the Techno Parade were: building an identity for the recognition of electronic music as part of urban culture and contemporary society, create in Paris a day where all its inhabitants bowed to the joy and enjoyment of music and give visibility to the claims of the Technopol association against political leaders and government. The overwhelming  popularity of this the Parisian carnival has surpassed these goals For over 5 kilometers, thousands of people follow the chords that go beyond all the tolerable decibel levels  but carnival is a day of exception and everything is permitted. It all starts at Montparnasse and unfolds, ending at the Place de la Bastille. The long road thru the Parisian avenues is accompanied by cocktails of all kinds or just plain water to resist the heat of late summer. While techno music may be the main type of music played, the variety of performers, and musical trends satisfy the...

Beyond Beauty Paris 2011

Beyond Beauty Paris 2011

Cécile Carrez

The days of the 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th of September of 2011 mark the week of beauty and wellbeing in the whole of Europe: the Beyond Beauty of Paris salon opens its ninth edition dedicated to the cosmetic industry and world of spa. Cocooning, sparks and exclusiveness await at the Gate of Versailles. Beyond Beauty is an unmissable international affair for all of those who are aesthetic professionals or fans of beauty and relaxation: the new brands, the newest products, the latest technologies and the most innovative ingredients can be found here. Luxury, calm and voluptuousness unite to offer you the best of cosmetics. Just like this fair has been baptised, the main idea behind it is to go further than beauty, a field which reinvents itself just as much or even more than beauty. Three complimentary universes compose this event: Cosmeeting, a rendez-vous where the most innovative brands exhibit their miracles; Creative, reserved for the encounter of the best providers and concepts; European Spa, an affair where the concept of wellbeing and spa facilities prevail. For more comfort, those three rooms are united in one same place and open their doors in the same week. The aim of Beyond Beauty is to hold all the aspects of cosmetics and to reveal its trends: biological products, anti-ageing solutions, packagings, pharmaceutical sector, thalasso, accessories, hygiene, massages, make-up techniques, new beauty gestures, everything for the hair and much, much more. Posing questions and generating dialogues among professionals is another advantage of this event: which is the formula of preserving a product 100%? which will be the ingredients of the future? which...

Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel García Márquez

Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel García Márquez

Mónica Boixeda

If we were going to talk about one of the most influential contemporary writers, we would no doubt have to mention Gabriel García Márquez, because the winner of the Nobel Prize for literature is no less than a human factory of novels, stories, drama, and all things related to the written word. Gabriel García Márquez is from Columbia, and his work is work is a key representative for all Latin American literature, since it is thanks to him that it has been able to get the global recognition it deserves. He was born in Aracataca in 1927, and today, in 2011, at the age of 84, he continues to be a passionate devotee of books and all text in general. His voice is heard, and respected the world over, and 100 Years of Solitude, the novel for which he won the Nobel Prize, has been translated into 35 languages, cementing him worldwide as one of the most remarkable, and brilliant writers of all time. Márquez also created a literary style and genre, Magical Realism, but it is only when you read one of his novels do you truly understand the concept. He has, like many of his contemporaries, spent much of life moving from city to city, but Paris marked him in a particularly special way. He lived there during 1956, in a small hotel, spending most of his days shut away indoors writing. Chronicle of a Death Foretold is magnificent piece of work, which fictionalises a true story passed onto Márquez in 1951, which he remembered until 1981 when he sat down to write the novel. Márquez, in...
