Kristen McMenamy's Rebel Spirit Drips in Stunning Splendor for Dolce & Gabbana Couture

Supermodel Kristen McMenamy is the first to tell you that in the Nineties there were no rules. The Irish Catholic American third child out of seven born to her Pennsylvania family has earned her reputation as a visually ‘unique’ character in Italian fashion dramas. She also had rebel DNA flowing through her body head to toe.

Dolce & Gabbana [IG] dialed into McMenamy’s same rebel spirit in their new Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda Roma 2025 Campaign, shot by Luigi & Iango [IG]. The city’s architectural magnificence is captured in both materials and fabrics for Alta Moda fashion and spectacular treatments of ancient characters in the Alta Gioielleria, high jewelry collections. Roman statues transformed into pendants is very cool./ Makeup by Georgi Sandev; hair by Patti Bussa

Comparing the Cretan and Mediterranean Diets, Dorit Revelis Style in Harper’s Bazaar France June 2025

Israeli model Dorit Revelis is among the most naturally-sensual of our young models; and the beauty industry has embraced her sensual DNA as well. Authenticity is a buzzword of the decade, but Dorit projects a beauty that is both ancient and modern, traits that make it authentic and not contrived.

These images by her ‘love’ Dudi Hasson [IG] for Harper’s Bazaar France [IG] June 2025 issue belong to a beauty story called ‘Le Nouveau Régime Crétois’.

Crete and The Dawn of Minoan Civilization

The Minoan civilization represents the dawn of Crete's history, flourishing during the Bronze Age from approximately 2600 to 1100 BCE. This civilization, named after the legendary King Minos, is considered Europe's first advanced society, showcasing a high degree of sophistication and complexity.

Crete was largely conquered by the Myceneans around around 1450 BCE. And while their diets were compatible in many ways, one distinctive feature is that the Cretans ate fish and the Myceneans were heavy meat eaters.

Actor Eva Mendes Embraces a Sensual Life | What Might Neuroimaging Her Brain Reveal?

Actor Eva Mendes Embraces a Sensual Life | What Might Neuroimaging Her Brain Reveal?

Actor, activist, wife of Ryan Gosling and mom to their two daughters, Eva Mendes is a fabulously sensual woman. Much of American culture would call her a sex bomb.

Eva Mendes also calls herself a sex bomb, highly influenced by her husband’s deep appreciation for her sex appeal.

I asked AI to explain how neuroimaging would differentiate brain activity in a person who particularly enjoys fragrant flowers, dancing, and swimming with heightened awareness and intense pleasure. Someone like Eva Mendes.

AOC has been a huge fan of brain science for years because our brains are truthful when different regions are activited.

The basic idea I want to communicate is that our brains are a fingerprint of sorts of who we are. In the case of Eva Mendes, I promise you that she has highly-elevated SPS, as defined in point 4.

She also has elevated Openness to Experience, as defined in my Louis Vuitton analysis from Monday, see final notes in article link.
