Thunder Perfect Mind

Prada Parfum
ooooh..check out the movie (abt 4.5min) and commercial (abt 30sec) for Prada's latest parfum at www.pradaparfums.com It's a collaboration between Miuccia Prada & film director Ridley Scott & his daughter. It's about the complexities of being a woman, and is actually a First century poem that 'deals with the endless psyche of being a woman'

It's ultra cool..and beautiful..and the heroine of the commercial is breathtakingly chio--Daria Werbowym, a model from canada & has ukranian parents. Plus it's shot in Berlin..leaves me with an eerie sense of deja vu and longing for something lost in the past..haha ok maybe i'm being melodramatic..but watch it & maybe u'll understand why!

Excerpts of the poem which i like..

'..For i am the first and the last.
i am the wife and the virgin.
i am the mother and the daughter.
i am she whose wedding is great,
and i have not yet taken a husband..
i am senseless and i am wise..
come forward to childhood,
and do not despise it beacuse it is small and it is little.
and do not turn away greatnesses in some parts from the smallnesses,
for the smallnesses are known from the greatnesses.
i am the one who is honored and who is praised,
for i am knowledge and ignorance.
i am shame and boldness.
i am shameless; i am ashamed.
i am controlled and uncontrollable..'
