NEVERWOOD HIGH WELCOMES U2 THE CANNES FILM FESTIVAL

Karl Lagerfeld painting on the CroisetteToday is the start of the Cannes Film Festival, which is one of the most prestigious of all the film festivals that has been around the longest.

During theses two weeks in the South of France you can expect to see Hollywood heavy-hitters, Movie Stars, the glitz, the glamour and most importantly yachts, yachts and more yachts.

Due to a friends wedding this weekend, I was unable to attend the festival this year.  But, I dug up an old video I made back in 2008 when I was there with Teen Vogue.

Au revoir. xx

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE? BUT WHY...

DJ Samantha Ronson & NeverWood High Carlos E. Lopez @ BAR210Have you ever looked around the room at your friends dancing...

It's something I do quite often and wonder what gets people off their feet and onto the dance floor.

Friends of NeverWood High Jon Chu created movies around dancing and Adam Shankman incorporated dance into this years Oscars.

It's something we have been doing from glamorous past to street dancing with a blast.

Is it simply the music, or the open bar sponsored by Svedka, is it the Red Bull in our Vodka or the freedom we have when our bodies move across the dance floor.  

I've been blessed to have been surrounded by such great musicians and pretty convenient that some of my besties are my favorites DJ's.  I would have to say, what makes me dance is the smile on my friends faces and the masterminds that put the beat under our feet.

Oh... and I guess how amazing they all look giggling and wiggling with their Brazilian blow outs, 6 inch stilettos and can still strike a pose while they're Dancing on the Ceiling!

What makes you dance?  Twitter me your answers @carlosncharge

THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH

and NO, I'm not talking about Disneyland...

If you have ever wanted to experience a true magical feeling in a galaxy far, far away.  With one of the most gorgeous backdrops, beautiful people and lavish parties.  Then gas up your yacht and cruise on over to The Cannes Film Festival.  Yesterday, was the last day of the festival and those lucky enough to continue the party. Have arrived in Monte Carlo for the Grand Prix.

I live for things that are over the top (over rated, over exposed, overboard, and saying "over it").  But, I will never grow old of the decadence that lives during those two weeks in the South of France.

Glitz, Glamour with a splash of Razzle Dazzle.  

Here is a video montage I made last year of my stay in Cannes.

Can't afford to go, then throw your own film festival in your own home.  Invite all your friends over, make them get all dressed up and host your own cocktail/dinner party and play your favorite movies in the background on silent, with your favorite tunes playing on your ipod.

le lieu le plus heureux sur la terre est à l'intérieur de vous
