Daphne by Joe Lally
In the digital age the link between fashion and film has never been stronger: talents move from the art house screen to the editorial page on a daily basis and the influx of creativity is changing both mediums. Director Joe Lally takes the symbiotic relationship a step further, casting male models Tyson BallouMichael BragerCharles DevoeCory BondTravis Hanson, alongside fashion legend Daphne Guinness in his film, The Black and White Maze of the Painted Zebra.
Exploring the illusion of reality and the trappings of fame, the film offers a subversive look at the the current fixation with celebrity and the limits of reality. MDC talked to the film’s star Daphne Guinness, about the role of the moving image in the world of fashion, how it felt to be in front of the camera and what it will be like to get ready in the window of Barneys this afternoon.
MDC: One of Zebra’s themes deals with the trapping of celebrity life, how did that topic resonate with you on a personal level?
Daphne: The idea of your mistakes and vulnerabilities being public, and the public only knowing one aspect of your personality when your real life is falling apart bit by bit.

MDC: As a filmmaker yourself, what was it like to be in front of the camera for this project?

Daphne: Love any part of the processes. When the process stops I will be dead. I perceive life to be a process and this is the path I have chosen.

MDC: What do you feel the role of film is within fashion right now? How do you think that role has changed in the past few years?

Daphne: Fashion has only just realized that it can use film as a medium. In the days of the studio, the clothes were an integral part of the story, now much of the time it is an add on but I feel that clothes are just as much a part of the narrative.

As one of the most distinctive voices to emerge in fashion photography in recent years, Chadwick Tyler has always captivated us with his work. His intimate and raw style showcases the vulnerability of his subjects without stripping them of their power. His focus on the model as a muse and collaborator makes us all the more excited for his newest project, an oversized monograph that follows a select group of models as they evolve over the course of a year. Documenting each girl via personal images and emotive portraits, Tyler reveals the inner life of young women on the brink of self-discovery.
The project is set to debut in full in the fall of next year, complete with gallery showings and separate books for each girl, but keep an eye open for compelling previews like these 2 images of Anais Pouliot. The relationship between models and photographers is one of the most important bonds in photography; with the right combination of trust, respect and artistry from both parties, great moments can happen. Who can forget the iconic images of Kate Moss by Corrine Day, or Guinevere van Seenus by Paolo Roversi; when the right model and the right photographer collaborate, the pictures speak for themselves.

Calories in Honey vs Sugar

Calories in Honey vs Sugar
Calories in Honey vs Sugar

A sugar free diet is the latest mantra in the market. Avoid those extra calories and reduce your weight. What's more, it helps you maintain your blood sugar level as well. In the same rhythm, people are also going ga-ga about honey. It is natural, it is healthy, and it has antioxidant properties that keeps you fit and fine. So, is eating honey better than sugar? Should I switch over to honey, or is it another marketing gimmick to make us buy their products? In order to lay all my doubts to rest, I went on to search for answers that helped me determine which is better: honey or sugar. Thus, the following write up, calories in honey vs sugar, will help you understand the difference between these two sweeteners. So continue reading further and find out more about calories in honey compared to sugar.

Calories in Honey Compared to Sugar

I shall begin with information related to calories in honey vs sugar. So, basically these are both sweeteners that help sweeten foods and drinks. Sugar is manufactured from sugarcane after denaturization of proteins, nitrogen, organic acids, vitamins and enzymes. Honey on the other hand is made from the hard work of honey bees. Coming back to calories in honey vs sugar. One tablespoon of sugar contains 46 calories. When you compare honey, it contains about 64 calories. Thus, there are more calories in honey than sugar. Do not hit the panic button, if you had honey with cereals in breakfast today. Honey is more sweeter than sugar. Thus, one adds slightly less honey than sugar. Also, honey is a lot more expensive than sugar. Thus, we are more liberal when using sugar instead of honey. So, in the end, we consume less calories with honey than sugar.

Which is Better Honey or Sugar?

As we found from the above paragraph on calories in honey vs sugar, there are more calories in honey than sugar. This made me wonder, which is better honey or sugar? People go raving about the heath benefits of natural honey. Is this true? So, I decided to dig in deeper and clear out all the doubts.

Have you heard about Glycemic Index (GI)? It is a method of measuring the effect of carbohydrate rich foods on the blood sugar levels. The scale of measuring GI is 0 to 100. Foods that rank high on the scale cause greater fluctuations in blood sugar levels. Thus, lower the ranks, healthier the food. Honey ranks 55 on the Glycemic Index, whereas sugar stands at 61. Thus, honey is better than sugar and it proves to be a better source of energy.

Speaking of energy, sugar contains 100% sucrose and honey is made up of just 1.5% sucrose. The rest is all fructose and glucose, that are a type of monosaccharides. Those who are health conscious, or athletes, will know what I am talking about. Monosaccharides or simple sugars can enter the bloodstream directly. They do not need to be metabolized into simple sugars like sucrose. Thus, they prove to be a source of instant energy and nutrients for the body
As we move on to nutrients, you will find sugar contains no minerals, vitamins or proteins. Just plain carbohydrates (read between the lines: just plain calories). I have already explained in the beginning, sugar is made by destroying the nutrients in sugar cane. Thus, no nutrients in sugar. On the other hand, honey is a natural product made by honey bees. It contains calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, manganese, magnesium, vitamin B6, riboflavin, niacin, pathothenic acid, tryptophan, threonine, lysine, tyrosine, arginine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, serine and many more vitamins, minerals and amino acids. No, this does not mean you can eat honey and get rid of those boring vegetables in your refrigerator! One tablespoon of honey does not contain enough nutrients that meet the recommended daily dose for your body. The nutrients are present, but you will have to eat a hell lot of more honey to achieve your recommended daily nutrient dose. This will lead to weight gain and yeah, diabetes!

Weight gain occurs due to excessive calorie intake in the diet. Thus, the first thing knocked off by the dietitian is sugar from your diet. You can substitute a tablespoon of honey for the sugar you are not supposed to eat. This will give you instant energy and get easily absorbed in the body. However, too much honey will cause you to gain weight. So, if you feel you can gain all the precious vitamins and minerals by eating more honey, think again. You are going to put on more weight than normal.

Honey vs Sugar: Conclusion

So, in conclusion to the calories in honey vs sugar debate, honey proves to be a better bet than sugar. Honey contains more calories than sugar. But, it is not just full of empty calories, it is packed with vitamins, minerals and amino acids in minute levels. So, the end word here, is eating honey in moderation. You should include plenty of fruits and vegetables in your diet along with a tablespoon or two of honey. Sugar in moderation will also cause no more harm than honey. Watch what you eat as this will help you remain in the 'pink of health'

Benefits of Hair Spa

Benefits of Hair Spa

Benefits of Hair Spa
People need to understand that a little rejuvenation to refuel our inner selves, will do no harm but a great deal of good. I make it a habit to visit a spa at least once a month and have myself pampered silly, fully understanding the importance of getting my body to relax. That way I avoid aches and pains and random joint strains that occur during work hours or when I'm home. A hair spa works in the same way; you give your head and your mind a relaxing session, that will have you energized and your hair/scalp tended to. Many of us envy someone with perfect wavy hair, or has hair that bounces when they walk by or smooth tresses you'd kill to have yourself. You could have fabulous hair yourself if you just put in a little extra time to cater to its needs.


The benefits of hair spa treatments are paramount, especially for those who don't indulge in homemade hair mixtures to take care of their hair, and who don't care what products they put into their tresses. It is very important to take care of your hair if you are particular about what it's going to look like years down the line. Do you want a dandruff ridden scalp forever? Do you want that negligence to lead to permanent hair loss earlier in your life? Do you want tangled, knotty hair that has lost its life and shine? I'm sure you don't, no one does. That is why, a hair spa treatment for hair is what you need.

Benefits of Hair Spa Treatments

Not only does it put you at ease when you're through with the session, but it conditions your scalp and leaves it free from pollutants and chemicals that seep into our hair from products and air pollution. Depending on what kind of hair problem you have, be split ends, dry hair, dull hair, baldness, hair fall, dandruff and so on, spa treatments can help reverse these, especially if you go in early enough to deal with these problems. A lot of things play major roles when it comes to our hair and skins. Our diets play a huge role in maintaining these two important areas of the body that people are most concerned with. Hair massages are incorporated into the spa treatment to help circulate nerves in the scalp area, stimulating blood flow. This not only helps hair grow, but it keeps hair shiny and more vibrant. It can help calm your senses, and re-energize your deadbeat insides
A spa can sometimes even help people by trying to advise them on what to eat and not eat, by providing them healthy appetizers and drinks during the session. I remember being offered green tea after I was done with my spa treatment; these spa sessions can leave you refreshed, especially after enduring life's stressful situations. It takes a toll not only on our health but on vital areas like the skin and hair. No matter what problems you lay out in front of spa specialists, they have a solution to convince you to keep coming back for more. The important part is to never compromise your body by going to a place that doesn't qualify as being the best. Make sure you go to a trusted and well known spa to get your particular requirements fulfilled.
It is important to make a trip to the hair spa at least once every 2 months, to help your hair go back to its healthy and well maintained self. The purpose of making these trips to the spa is to help combat against the different hair troubles we face. It can help the system remain in a state of relaxation for a long while way after you've exited the spa, where constant trips back can keep you in check. A lot of people suffer from anxiety issues, phobias and disorders that stem from stress. It can cause a lot of health concerns in the future, making you even more stressed out to see your state in the mirror.

What Kind of Treatment Method Am I Looking At?

When you walk into a hair spa, the first and foremost thing that is done, is a complete evaluation of what your problem is. After all of the details have been covered, you are then provided with a spread of treatment options, using different concoctions and remedies. These spa treatments usually last you about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on what the procedure entails. A deep conditioning process is undertaken, to help strengthen weak follicles, moisten roots and bring hair back to life. These conditioning methods then battle against oily deposits and dry skin, where blood circulation is increased through hair massages. Cells in the scalp are manipulated to increase the metabolic rate through massaging. This helps in removing impurities, thus working the conditioner into the hair structure and giving it an overall much needed makeover.

Sounds tempting doesn't it? Spa treatments aren't always expensive with over the top grandeur, but a place for people to recharge themselves. Find out about a spa that has reasonable packages and rates that you can sign yourself up for. Have a healthy tomorrow
