Alexis James spontaneously made a track for us named "Caligula" on SoundCloud. The song is based on the post CALIGULA // LES ENFANTS TERRIBLES and offers us a great tune to look at the pictures, exactly what I had in mind when I first decided to go out & try to make something different (and funny). Every piece of work wrote and played by the man is fantastic (even if the song is only one minute long, I'll be ill on Mars is so damn beautiful). The font you see in Caligula is actually from the silent movie "The Fall of The House of Usher" (I had to cheat a little and man, that was hard! ... yeah, probably cause I saw the movie with french subtitles although I had decided to write the paper in english. Good idea, Lou. You'd be lucky to find a "y" or a "w"... there wasn't a "w" by the way). That's the reason why his soundtrack fits so damn well (listen to the music in "The Fall of the House", you'll understand)... We put it at the beginning of the post, so folks, you have to listen to it carefully if you liked the photo shoot. Thank you A. James!

Some traditional film-based photos taken during the Caligula Photo Shoot (we didn't think a smoking Caligula was a good idea but the truth is: he does smoke) + other photos from Drawlings' (Abigail Portner) + oFF & Gr†ll Gr†ll's private concert in Paris & some lifestyle stuff (like... our cat).
