HIM

HIM is a goth rock/love metal band from Helsinki, Finland, whose music ranges from soft to heavy metal with lyrics such as: "Let me never see the sun and never see you smile. Let us be so dead and so gone, so far away from life. Just close my eyes, hold me tight, and bury me deep inside your heart," "The kiss sweetest and touch so warm, the smile kindest in this world, cold and strong. So close to the flame, burning brightly. It won't fade away and leave us lonely," and "I hid the keys to unlock love's heart, to hold you in my sweetest pain and suffering. Everything's unfair in our lust and war, redemption beyond right and wrong. In our hearts love keeps sweet-talking to despair and goes on sleepwalking past hope." The melodies are enchanting and dark and Ville Valo's voice is gorgeous and can be so devilishly deep it's ridiculous. HIM is love. http://www.heartagram.com/





Oscar de la Renta~

One of my favorite fashion designers is Oscar de la Renta. His evening gowns are absolutely gorgeous and timeless. Oscar de la Renta studied painting in Madrid, Spain, when he became interested in design. He started out creating designs for Spanish fashion houses and became an apprentice to Cristobal Balenciaga. Oscar de la Renta then came to New York City where he debuted his fashions. http://www.infomat.com/whoswho/oscardelarenta.html www.oscardelarenta.com
