MADONNA – “INTO THE GROOVE” (1985)

(Madonna/Steve Bray)

And you can dance
For inspiration
Come on
I’m waiting

Chorus:

Get into the groove
Boy you’ve got to prove
Your love to me, yeah
Get up on your feet, yeah
Step to the beat
Boy what will it be

Music can be such a revelation
Dancing around you feel the sweet sensation
We might be lovers if the rhythm’s right
I hope this feeling never ends tonight

Bridge:

Only when I’m dancing can I feel this free
At night I lock the doors, where no one else can see
I’m tired of dancing here all by myself
Tonight I wanna dance with someone else

(chorus)

Gonna get to know you in a special way
This doesn’t happen to me every day
Don’t try to hide it love wears no disguise
I see the fire burning in your eyes

(bridge)
(chorus)

Intermediate:

Live out your fantasy here with me
Just let the music set you free
Touch my body, move in tight
Now I know you’re mine

BOOK: DESIGN BEHIND THE DESIRE by LISA Z. MORGAN

DESIGN BEHIND DESIRE is a beautifully conceived book about wanting, longing, yearning, generating and fulfilling of a highly sexual and erotic nature and, as an entity within itself, becomes an object of desire as each sensuously laden page is turned. It both demonstrates and embodies desire by exploring the most beautiful objects of and for desire where integrity, beauty, sexuality and sensuality are at the heart of the creations. Many of the striking objects that are depicted are quite dark, bondage inspired, some surreal, others delicate, there are voluptuous pieces and there are one or two eccentric but never the less brilliant creations. All are united in the strength of their vision, conceptual depth and a high degree of craftsmanship with desire and sexuality at their core. Each curated object inspires the imagination, which is the nourishment and fountain of our desires well-being.DESIGN BEHIND DESIRE also demonstrates how many items and genres from the world of fetish wear and bondage are inspiring and provoking fashion and design in a tangible way. How there is a tactility and truth to materials, which shifts the ‘sexy’ to profoundly sexual and where desire as both a concept and motivational force becomes more powerful where there is duality or contradictory forces at play.Traversing the pages of DESIGN BEHIND DESIRE the heat rises as we explore desire through the three chapters and phases; Generating, Contemplating and Fulfilling. Hidden within Fulfilling desire we also discover the Cabinet of Desire; a small immersive volume of desirous text where the mind is encouraged to wander and dance.-LISA Z. MORGAN is an artist and co-founder of Strumpet & Pink. The subject and object of desire has been a palpable constant within her artistic, commercial and consultancy work both as a motivation and in it’s embodiment or articulation. Through her creativity and research she questions how the value of provenance, of rarity and storytelling, puts into question or provokes our understanding and relationship towards desire and our personal measures of wanting.

LAMBORGHINI COUNTACH LP500 (1971)

Only 3 years after Bertone released the first wedge-shaped Alfa Romeo Carabo concept, Lamborghini got their turn with the Countach in 1971. Among all the prototypes with this universal shape, Lamborghini became the most prolific when the car was put into production in 1976. The car was named after it’s 5000-litre V12 which stood for Longitudinale Posteriore 5000.Marcello Gandini, who had shaped both the Miura and Espada was responsible for the Countach design. The low profile wasn’t too far off his Lancia Stratos 0 from just a year earlier, and Lamborghini remained much more true to the Bertone concept than Lancia ever did. Maybe that’s why the Lamborghini became so much more of a icon than the Lancia.Unique traits of the concept included forward-swinging doors from the Carabo and a periscope rear view mirror, both which were retained for production.Paolo Stanzani had the task of making a usable supercar underneath Marcello Gandini’s impossibly low design. He elected to run the gearbox forward of the engine to provide direct gear changes. This raised the height of the engine for the driveline, but made the Countach look even more purposeful with its muscular rear stance.Initially a fully-digital instrumentation system was fitted that was later replaced by analogue units so Bob Wallace could test the car. Afterward the car led a hard life and was highly modified during testing to help with production development. At met a final fate with a barrier at MIRA in Britain which destroyed the car completely.

LAMBORGHINI DIABLO VT ROADSTER (1999)

In 1985 Lamborghini began designing and developing a replacement for their successful Countach model. The Lamborghini Diablo was introduced in 1990 and stayed in production until 2001. The name Diablo is Spanish meaning ‘devil’ and was borrowed from a type of legendary bull raised by the Duke of Veragua in the 19th century. The goal for the Countach replacement was to achieve a 315 Km/h top speed. Marcello Gandini was commissioned to design the bodywork. Chrysler purchased Lamborghini in 1987 which meant Gandini’s designs had to pass Chrysler approval. Adjustments were made that took away from the aggressiveness of the vehicle and focused more on the driver and passenger comfort. The modifications did not draw drastically away from the initial designs and Gandini was satisfied with the outcome. Chryslers influence continued to the interior of the vehicle. The Italian leather seats, steering wheel, and dashboard were all adjustable. The seats could be ordered specifically to fit the driver. The stereo system was an Alpine unit, customizable to the user’s preferences with offerings of either a CD or cassette player. An optional remote CD changer and sub woofer cost additional, but was still available. A Breguet clock would set the buyer back an additional $10,500 while the factory fitted luggage cost $2600.The Lamborghini V-12 cylinder was enlarged to 5.7 liters and given a multi-point fuel injection system. It was placed mid-ship in the Diablo and provided power to the rear wheels. The powerplant was capable of producing nearly 500 horsepower and gave the super-car a top speed of over 325 Km/h. Zero-to-sixty took just over four-seconds.For an additional $4500, a rear wing could be added to the vehicle. The engine remained cool thanks to the rear bumper which served as a spoiler that recycled the warm air from the engine with cool air. The body was mostly comprised of aluminum alloy.The doors opened up and forward and had side windows which could be rolled down electronically. Visibility was much improved over the Countach. The side windows were designed to allow ample viewing. The rear view mirror was functional and not hindered by the engine lid.Throughout the years, Lamborghini made subtle improvements to the vehicle. To increase sales and attract new customers, Lamborghini introduced AWD versions, Targa editions, and limited edition variants. Limited edition versions offered customers unique customization, such as the ‘Victoria’s Secret’ theme car. In addition to the specialty and limited editions, Lamborghini offered racing variants. A version was created to compete in the GT1 class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Other racing versions, such as the SVS and SV-R were factory created racing ready vehicles.

BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID (1969)

(Robert Redford and Paul Newman in the epic 1969 western “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.” — Image by © John Springer Collection)

Paul Newman and Robert Redford set the standard for the “buddy film” with this smash hit set in the Old West. The Sundance Kid (Redford) is the frontier’s fastest gun. His sidekick, Butch Cassidy (Newman), is always dreaming up new ways to get rich fast. If only they could blow open a baggage car without also blowing up the money-filled safe inside… Or remember that Sundance can’t swim before they escape a posse by leaping off a cliff into rushing rapids… Times are changing in the west and life is getting tougher. So Butch and Sundance pack their guns, don new duds, and, with Sundance’s girlfriend (Katharine Ross), head down to Bolivia. Never mind that they don’t speak Spanish – they’ll manage somehow. A winner of four Academy Awards (including best screenplay and best song), here is a thoroughly enjoyable blend of fact and fancy done with true affection for a bygone era and featuring the two flashiest, friendliest funniest outlaws who ever called out “hands up!”

Via Wallpaper … The Japanese restaurant group Shiro has opened its fourth outlet in the Samrat Hotel, in New Delhi. A dramatic 30-m-high old wooden gate welcomes you towards a bridge leading to a space divided into a bar, a more intimate ‘live’ Teppanyaki area, and onto an outdoor dining deck. The space, designed by delhi-based design studio Lotus, has been constructed in a monochromatic palette of hand-cut local sandstones, featuring over 900 hand blown red glass tea-lights over the bar and solex crystal screens. When night falls, Shiro transform into Tsuki, furniture rolls away under platforms, and the wall above the bar unfolds to make way for a DJ booth, complete with flashy lights.

LANCIA BERTONE STRATOS CONCEPT CAR (1970)

Bertone stunned the world at the 1970 Turin Motorshow with their Stratos Zero design. Nuccio Bertone initially wanted to call the ultra-compact wedge-shape design Stratoline because of its space-ship-like appearance. Not much on the Stratos concept was conventional, except for the fact that the wheels were round. Fitted low and midships in the chassis was a 1.6 Lancia Fulvia powerplant. The running prototype featured an all new monocoque style chassis, custom built for the Stratos.In the next few months the concept appeared in magazines all over the world and Lancia talked with Bertone to construct a purpose built rally based on the Stratos design. This car debuted at the 1971 Turin Motorshow and resembled the previous Stratos in name only. Even though Lancia was working on a new competition engine Bertone fitted the Stratos with a Ferrari Dino engine which he had lying about. The extremely compact design looked like the winning recipe for the twisty roads used in rallies.Nothing much happened in 1972 as Lancia was still waiting for their new competition engine. Late that year Bertone suggested that Lancia should stick with the Ferrari engine and start production of the Stratos. His suggestion received mixed reactions but works racing manager Cesare Fiorio was on his side. Finally production of the 400 cars needed for homologation started. By October 1974 the Stratos was homologated for Group 4 rallying.Over the next couple of years the Stratos’ dominance was total. It scored 17 world championship victories and over 50 european championship victories. Victory in the legendary rally Monte Carlo rally was taken four out five times between 1975 and 1979. Two were converted to Group 5 road racing specifications with a Turbocharged engine. These silhouette-racers didn’t fare nearly as well as their Group 4 counterparts. At the end of the decade it was replaced by the Fiat 131 Mirafiori.Featured is the original Stratos Zero Concept, which starred at the Turin Motorshow in Novermber 1970. Remarkably the very low car is a fully running prototype, like most Bertones of the day. Access to the tiny cockpit is through a ‘canopy’, made easier by a collapsable steering column. Still in fully running order, the Bertone masterpiece is seen here at the public part of the 2006 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in the nearby Villa Erba park.

ASTON MARTIN DB4 GT ZAGATO (1961)

Although not overly successful, the DB4 GT Zagato was easily one of the most exciting and beautiful British sports cars thanks to its specially built body by Zagato of Milan. It was designed to take a stab at the Ferrari 250 GT roller coaster which was dominating the World Sportscar Championship. It was primarily sold to private race teams, but at least 4 of the 19 cars were built as road cars.In 1958, the first DB4 was released and received universal acclaim as a successful grand tourer (GT). Much of the DB4 utilized technology from Aston Martin’s earlier race efforts including disc brakes, an independent front suspension and a Superleggra body from Touring of Milan. A year later, Aston Martin was anxious to take it to the track so they introduced the GT model in September of 1959.The GT model had distinct modifications which prepared the DB4 for racing endurance. These included a shortened the wheelbase, less interior and lighter bodies. The huge hood scoop which distinguished the model was hiding a potent version of the inline-6 that used triple Weber carburetors, twin-spark ignition, high lift camshafts and a 9:1 compression ratio raise power output to 302 bhp. Furthermore the model had a dual-plate clutch, close-ratio transmission, Salisbury Power-Lok differential and larger Girling disc brakes.Despite a large factory backing, the DB4 GT only achieved moderate success and they were beaten at the 1962 R.A.C. Tourist Trophy by Stirling Moss in a Ferrari 250. Losing their most coveted event to the Italians motivated Aston Martin to take the DB4 to the next level, especially since the purpose built Aston Martin DBR1 had proven itself by winning the 24 Hours of Le mans. John Wyer met Gianni Zagato at Earls Court to hash out an agreement that would ship the first chassis Italy in early 1960.Based in Milan, Zagato was well known for their lightweight body construction. Well before the DB4, Zagato established themselves building aluminum bodies for Alfa Romeo and clothed many prewar Le Mans winners. Zagato transformed the DB4 GT into a smaller, more lightweight car. Many steel components were replaced by aluminum counterparts. Basically all non-essential elements disappeared such as the bumpers. With the help of Perspex and aluminum components, more than 100 lbs was shed off the DB4 GT.

MARCOS MANTIS XP (1968)

One of the undoubted show stoppers at this year’s Festival of Speed is the extraordinary Mantis XP. Conceived by Bradford-on-Avon constructor Marcos, and styled by Dennis Adams, this timber-hulled, mid-engined sports-racer was built in 1968 and raced only once in period. It was entered for that year’s Spa 1000km for Eddie Nelson and Grand Prix occasional, Robin Widows. When the latter decided to sit out the race, marque founder Jem Marsh took his place, although the former stuntman found contorting his 6ft 5in frame into the ultra-low cabin a bit of a chore. The car retired from the epically wet race early on its three-litre Repco F1 engine was subsequently removed and replaced with a Buick V8. The by now road legal machine was sold to an American enthusiast and 40 years later it remains in the same family ownership.
