2011 Last Words...
We would not be ourselves without a little bit of provocation to conclude 2011.
Good sentiments, resolutions and intentions are all very nice but we clearly deserve more than that...
"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all."
With this phenomenal quote, Oscar Wilde just had the last words.
As a last present for now,
we have featured this hilarious picture of him in Greek attire!
We invite all of us to live for real in 2012.
On this note, see you next year...
Jardins Florian and Oscar Wilde, VIP editor of the day
