LILAC VOL2

We've already dedicated posts to pink, magenta, fuchsia, green, blue, red, and pretty much every color capable of making a piece of lingerie catch our attention a little more than strictly necessary.

But there was still one missing. Lilac.

And careful, because talking about lilac means stepping into dangerous territory. There's lavender, mauve, violet, amethyst, orchid, and a whole bunch of other shades that, depending on the lighting, the screen, and whoever happens to be looking at them, can end up dangerously close to pink, purple, or even blue.

So before we get started, let's make one thing clear: men don't understand color palettes. We're doing well enough if we can tell twelve colors apart without resorting to “light blue” and “dark blue.”

That's why one of the following videos might feature a piece of lingerie and someone will think: “That's not lilac, that's lavender.” Or mauve. Or violet. Or imperial Carpathian purple at sunset.

I don't care.

If I say it's lilac, it's lilac.

And if you want to argue about it, call your wife, show her the video, and spend the afternoon debating the Pantone chart. Just leave me out of it, because I've already put in enough work selecting these videos for strictly chromatic reasons.

With that settled, here comes a new installment of the lilac saga. A selection of videos where, with varying degrees of scientific consensus, this will be the predominant color.

THE COLOR WHITE VOL4

And here we are: white. After an entire week talking about colors, shades, impossible names and some pretty questionable chromatic boundaries, we're finishing with the one color that seems to have decided not to take part in any of those arguments.

Because there's something funny about white: on paper, it seems like the simplest color of them all. It doesn't need to scream for attention, it doesn't have to be particularly intense, and you're unlikely to hear two guys arguing for ten minutes about whether something is pearl white, off-white, ivory or nuclear white. If it looks white, it's white as far as we're concerned, and we can peacefully get on with our lives.

But then white shows up on certain clothes and all that supposed discretion goes straight out the fucking window.

A white T-shirt, a shirt, a dress or, especially, a good piece of white lingerie can attract a hell of a lot more attention than any color specifically designed to do exactly that. Maybe because it doesn't need much decoration. Maybe because it lets the shapes do all the work. Or maybe because our relationship with colors is a lot less sophisticated than we've spent this entire week pretending it is.

Either way, after making our way through greens, blues, lilacs, reds, yellows and blacks, we've finally reached the end of the road.

And we're finishing with white. No mixtures, no complications and no need to check a Pantone chart to know exactly what the hell we're looking at.

Color week is over.
Now we can finally go back to focusing on what really matters.

THE APPEAL OF FRECKLES

david
There are features that people traditionally tried to hide but that, over time, have ended up becoming precisely what makes a face attractive. Freckles are probably one of the best examples.

For years, the beauty industry got us used to faces with completely uniform skin: the same tone, the same texture, not a blemish, not a mark, practically no sign that there was an actual human being underneath all that makeup. And the funny thing is that when freckles appear scattered across the nose and cheeks, the exact opposite of what you might expect happens: instead of seeing them as an imperfection, a lot of people feel they actually make a face more attractive.





Maybe it's precisely because they break up that uniformity. Freckles add little points of contrast, make your eyes wander across the face, and can especially highlight the eyes, cheekbones, or nose. They're a kind of natural pattern that can make a face more recognizable and give it more personality.

There's also that sense of naturalness. Freckles remind us that real skin isn't a perfectly smooth surface created by a computer. It has pigmentation, pores, subtle differences in tone, and characteristics of its own. And very often, those little irregularities are exactly what make two equally beautiful faces feel completely different in terms of how interesting we find them.

In fact, in recent years we've reached the curious point where some people draw freckles on with makeup or turn to semi-permanent treatments to get something that others spent a good part of their lives trying to hide. The supposed imperfection has become a desirable feature.

And then there's the part that's impossible to measure. Attraction doesn't work according to some mathematical chart where a pair of lips adds two points, a nose subtracts one, and twenty freckles add another three. Some features simply trigger something in the person looking at them.

That's what happens to me with freckles. Especially when they're concentrated around the nose and beneath the eyes. I'm not entirely sure why, but far from making a face look messy or taking away from its beauty, I think they give it character, naturalness, and an especially attractive touch.

In the end, maybe part of beauty lies precisely there: in those little characteristics that stop a perfect face from also becoming a completely forgettable one.

Because sometimes an imperfection doesn't take anything away. It's exactly what was needed to add something more.

YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHICH BUTTONS TO PUSH AT THE RIGHT TIME

Over time, you end up learning your partner's buttons. You know which one to push when they're pissed off, which one when they need calming down, which one when you want to convince them of something, and which one can make them forget about the world around them for a few minutes.

Because really knowing someone isn't just about knowing what they like, what annoys them or how they take their coffee. It's about figuring out which keys you need to press to trigger certain reactions.

And once you've had enough practice, there are some buttons you can find practically without looking.

NUDO CAFFE. FIRST INSTALLMENT

Nudo Caffè, known on social media as @grigorianphoto, is a photographer mainly focused on artistic nude and female photography. His work has a natural, intimate aesthetic, where light, textures and the presence of the model herself carry far more weight than any kind of artifice.

His photographs show a clear influence from analog photography: grain, black and white, soft colors and that slightly imperfect look that gives many of his shoots a cinematic feel.

Over the past few years, he has been alternating between analog and digital photography, experimenting with both techniques without losing that distinctive style.

And since going through his work we came across a lot more material than we expected, we've decided to split our selection into two installments. Here's the first one today. More tomorrow.

AMATEUR FLESH: HONEYMELON

Our featured girl today seems to know exactly what her strongest asset is. And we're certainly not going to be the ones to disagree with her.

She doesn't need elaborate sets or particularly fancy productions. A phone, a mirror, her bedroom, and two very convincing reasons to get our attention are more than enough.

Because one look through her gallery makes it pretty clear that she knows exactly what her best features are and, more importantly, she knows how to put them front and center.

Selfies, mirrors, spontaneous poses, and that special charm amateur photos have when they seem more interested in turning people on than winning a photography award.

And hey, mission accomplished.
