EDITOR’S LETTER

here is no better way to start talking without mentioning this magnificent acting talent that performs Scarlett Johansson in the Joss Whedon movie “Avengers Age of Ultron”. She has shown a great talent in action movies, specially in this one where she is the only female avenger. She performs with Ro-

bert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Elizabeth Olsen Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, James Spader, Aaron Taylor Johnson, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, Paul Bettany, Cobie Smulders, Andy serkis, Don Cheadle, Tom Hiddleston, hayley Atwell, Stellan Skarsgard, Idris ELba, Anthony Mackie, Claudia Kim, Josh Brolin and Lou Ferrigno. She brings the character Natasha Romanoff/ Black Widow

in Iron Man 2 (2010), Marvel’s The Avengers (2012), Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) and is set to reprise the role in Captain America: Civil War (2016) as a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise. So good has been the response from the public to this movie where Scarlet performs that the producers and the director have been talking about a sequel in Avengers 3. Of course we hope to see Scarlet if a third movie is realized, it’s good to see greatest talents like this in the big screen. Just to make it clear, this magazine is all about fashion and entertainment, showing the latest trends and improvements that come with this new season, starting with the “Whims of the designers” of this century in what respect about models, where we see the latest trends in models and the good that is knowing that the fashion industry has open its doors to new aspects. As a complement we also show the latests trends to wear in this spring/summer season, with all the good and bad things that fashion offers to the public. We also have some trends that people might think don´t look good on them, but this season brings us the minimalistic sandals that more than being so fashionable, will make us feel comfortable. In this issue we also bring the latest news on entertainment and the stars of the big screen, we cover all the world needs to know. Finally we are extremelly gratefull with Robert Downey Jr. for his great reaction in the interview were we asked him about a little issue with a tv interview, I encourage you to read the article about him.

Bye-Bye Birkenstock: Meet the New Ugly/Pretty Sandal of Summer 2015 16

FASHION It’s nothing to be ashamed of. You love something, and then everyone else loves it, and then you sort of hate it, because it’s so damn ubiquitous you don’t even know who you are anymore. Take Birkenstocks: First you felt funny; really, really comfy; and like a Corinne Day–era Kate Moss. And then, you know, everyone else caught up. And then it wasn’t about Miss Moss, or Corinne Day, it was about the knock-off styles and The New Yorker proyou wore them. And really, you’re better than that.

SEX MYTHS

YOU SHOULD STOP BELIEVING If sex were a board game, the

how-to handbook would be some five billion pages long — with different rules dictated by and for each individual player, and a new set of rules each round. Good luck. Despite the bevy of “do this, not that” sex-advice pieces out there, it’s safe to say that some things society has taught us are just plain wrong.

ROBERT DOWNEY JR Walks Out Of A Cringe-Worthy Interview with style “There’s an assumption that … because you’ve sat down there you’re going to be always assuming the social decorum is in play, and that we’re promoting a superhero movie, a lot of kids are going to see it, and that just has nothing to do with your creepy dark agenda.” (ROBERT DOWNEY JR.) While promoting Avengers: Age of Ultron in London, Robert Downey Jr. was expecting to talk all things Tony Stark—he was not there to discuss his past personal struggles. So when Channel 4 News’ Krishnan Guru-Murthy began hesitantly asking the 50-year-old actor about “the dark periods you went to... taking drugs and drinking and all of that,” things took an awkward turn for the worse. “I just wondered whether you’re free of all that,” the interviewer continued as Downey began to appear visibly uncomfortable. “...or whether’s you think that’s still — “ “I’m re a l l y
