My ex-fiancé is back, waving around my expensive ring, sitting in stands, and being a real pain in the ass. My lady-friend is pretty cool about the whole thing until the ex sets me up for a photo shoot, starring yours truly and her naked in my hotel room. That's when I figure enough is enough. Sure, we've been friends since we were kids but that doesn't give her the right to ruin the best thing that's ever happened to me. And when the love-of-my-life disappears? That's just over-the top.

Santa Claus aka Father Christmas is a man who is known to be well-mannered, happy, jolly, and full of laughter. But this Santa was not. Behind closed doors, he was a horrible, egotistical, and grumpy old man; but no one knew this except of course for Mrs. Claus and the elves, who had spent their whole lives putting up with his rude and intolerable behavior. One day, the elves decide to teach Santa a lesson by putting him under a magic spell that would cause him to speak his mind in public and reveal his true personality: loud-mouthed and arrogant.

Pourquoi, face à un coucher de soleil, je ne dis pas qu’il est beau, mais que c’est beau, comme si cette évidence s’imposait à nous tous ? Le beau semble nous dépasser, nous bouleverser, et parfois même nous transformer. Il n’appartient à personne, et pourtant, il nous unit. C’est ce pouvoir discret, mais essentiel, que j’explore avec des hommes et des femmes chez qui le beau vibre, se murmure et se ...
