Photographs by Bert Stern

Published Feb 18, 2008
In 1962, photographer Bert Stern shot a series of photos of Marilyn Monroe that have collectively come to be known as “The Last Sitting.” Taken during several boozy sessions at the Hotel Bel-Air, the photographs are arguably the most famous images ever captured of America’s most famous actress: Monroe, sleepy-eyed and naked, sips from a Champagne glass, enacts a fan dance of sorts with various diaphanous scarves, romps with erotic playfulness on a bed of white linens. Six weeks after she had posed, Monroe was found dead of an apparent barbiturate overdose.

BARCELONA
Uma Cidade com a minha cara!
Barcelona, with a population census of 1,593,075 on 1 January 2005, is divided into ten administrative districts, each one with its own district council, which allows a decentralised, local administration, closer to the residents.
The ten city districts are Ciutat Vella, Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc, Les Corts, Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, Gràcia, Horta-Guinardó, Nou Barris, Sant Andreu and Sant Martí.
This division of the city has its roots based on the history of the city.
Ciutat Vella is the old centre of the city and the Eixample is where the city expanded after the city walls were knocked down.The other districts correspond to municipal areas which were around the old city, outside the walls, and which became part of Barcelona during the 19th and 20th centuries.Each district is divided into different wards, each with its own personality and historic traditions.
