we are pulling

The phrase or commonplace that titles this column was used by Felipe VI during a day of hearings in La Zarzuela and has been reinterpreted with enthusiasm.

In my opinion it has to do with the fact that it was his birthday, 56, an opportune moment to recognize that

we are making progress

.

It is revealing and I agree with how you feel, waking up with discomfort in places where you didn't feel it before, getting overly excited about a movie, sneezing or falling asleep at the wrong time, these are all symptoms that you have reached the point where

we are going

.

Jesulín, king of Ubrique, has also reached the prime of his 50s and the magazine

¡Hola!

celebrates it exclusively with a very

country

and very sensual cover.

Jesulín deserves it

.

Because this review of her career, the nineties, our town princess, her Belén Esteban and María Jose Campanario, without forgetting the tiger

Currupipi

and the excessive passion for the balustrade, exercised in Ambiciones, that racial and dazzling Versailles, are more arguments That's enough to keep shooting.

Without saying anything, the Kings have starred in another news story accompanied by commotion.

Martin Bianchi reported in this newspaper that Annie Leibovitz, “the photographer to the stars,” will photograph the Kings.

“The image will be part of the collection of the Bank of Spain,” the news subtitled.

Subsequently, the national photographers' guild ruined the election.

I got a little worried.

The same article focused on the relationship that Leibovitz has with Spain, being the recipient of the Prince of Asturias Award for Communication and Humanities in 2013 and that Doña Letizia is not “only an admirer of Leibovitz but also of the work of the writer and essayist. Susan Sontag, romantic partner of the photographer until her death in 2004.”

Sontag, author of a book that helps me get by,

Notes on Camp

, received the Prince of Asturias Award for Literature in 2003, precisely at the ceremony where the prince and the journalist could be seen together for the first time.

A week after that meeting, the royal house officially announced their engagement.

Another image filled with controversy is that of the blessed Holy Week poster in Seville.

A representation of the resurrected and beautiful Christ, the work of Salustiano García, who has a piece of his in Barbra Streisand's collection.

His model has been his son named Horacio, like the Latin poet, author of the phrase

Carpe Diem

.

Enjoy the moment

, that's what that pop renaissance type poster breathes, with an almost Minnelli red background and a stylish reinterpretation of the cloth that covers the Christ of the Puppy.

Salustiano responded to those offended that if they saw something bad it was because evil is in the look.

I agree.

I only see an invitation on the poster.

And I plan to attend it and go to Holy Week in Seville for the first time, this year.

Seville, always present.

Leibovitz has also portrayed her.

It was in 1992, during the Expo, then he declared that Spanish men have “the most beautiful eyelashes in the world.”

Wow, I wouldn't exactly highlight that about Spanish men.

I don't know if she ever met Jesulín in her glory, but years later

Vogue

hired her to photograph Almodóvar and Penélope Cruz.

I was very aware of those sessions, which also included Cayetano Rivera, because Bibiana Fernández and I worked together on television and they invited her to participate in that privileged group of models.

Bibiana argued that she did not want to interfere with the photographer's plans, but that she would fight to incorporate her proposals in wardrobe and hairdressing.

Those days deliberating and raving with Ana García-Siñeriz and Vicky Martín Berrocal for the “Leibovitz de Bibiana” are part of my most beautiful and photogenic memories.

I offer to share them to make you understand what a portrait of Annie Leibovitz can mean to continue shooting.
