ANDRI KOIAVA 2015

It's been more than two years since the first entry we dedicated to the New Yorker photographer Andri Koiava and despite he hasn't updated his Tumblr account as much as I'd have liked, it's well worth to check out the new pictures he's published. Alrincon says so!

GAS STATIONS WILL BECOME A THING OF THE PAST

It might not happen tomorrow or even next week, but the fate of traditional gas stations seems pretty clear. With the unstoppable rise of electric cars, hydrogen power, and other alternative energy sources, those mandatory pit stops for refueling gasoline might soon become nothing more than a nostalgic memory for future generations.

Think about it—just a few years ago, seeing an electric car on the road was rare, almost futuristic. Now it's unusual if you don't come across one every time you hit the road. And it's not just electric vehicles; hydrogen and other clean technologies are also advancing rapidly, leaving gasoline and diesel firmly in the rearview mirror.

All signs point to gas stations as we know them being on borrowed time. Maybe in a few years, those places will be transformed into charging stations, cafés, convenience stores, or some other business better suited to drivers of the future.

AMATEUR FLESH: LUCLAIRE

I'm sure you'd love an adventure with user LuClaire—and by 'adventure' I don't mean something like hiking, skydiving, or backpacking. We're talking about much more intimate adventures here.

CARIBBEAN PIRATES

The real Caribbean pirates were a whole different breed than the Hollywood kind—though just as savage. They ruled the seas between the 17th and 18th centuries, especially around the Gulf of Mexico, the Antilles, and the northern coast of South America. These guys were rogue sailors, ex-soldiers, or just hustlers who saw piracy as a fast (and seriously dangerous) way to get rich.

They attacked ships loaded with gold, silver, rum, sugar, and anything valuable coming from the American colonies to Europe. Some worked solo, but many were privateers—basically pirates with government permission to rob enemy ships.

Bartholomew "Blackbeard" (Edward Teach) was one of the most feared. He tied smoking fuses into his beard to look even scarier. With smoke pouring from his face, he looked more like a demon from hell than a Disney pirate.
Anne Bonny and Mary Read disguised themselves as men to join pirate crews. They fought like anyone else and didn’t mess around. And Calico Jack became known for his iconic flag (the classic skull with crossed swords) and for sailing alongside Anne and Mary. Spoiler: he ended up hanging by the neck.

The pirate life was brutal. Scurvy, betrayals, brawls, rotten food, and no showers in sight. But there was also a kind of pirate democracy—they voted for their captain, split the loot fairly, and had their own rules, including punishing crew members who stole from each other.
Once they started hitting ships without caring about flags, the major European powers got fed up and hunted them down almost to extinction by the early 18th century.

THE NUDES OF GIOACCHINO DELL ERBA

Gioacchino Dell Erba, photographer and chef. Whether behind the camera or in the kitchen, he fully immerses himself in the expression of his creativity. For him, photography—both digital and analog—is a powerful tool that allows him to capture not just images but also emotions and deep narratives. Each shot is an opportunity to tell a story, to immortalize a unique moment that conveys a particular mood or feeling.

Both worlds, photography and gastronomy, share fundamental elements such as craftsmanship, patience, and meticulous attention to detail. In both fields, Gioacchino dedicates himself entirely to his craft, always striving for perfection in every creation while never losing sight of the beauty found in imperfection and the spontaneity of the moment.

SLAVE LEIA OUTFIT

Carrie Fisher hated the metal bikini she had to wear as Jabba’s prisoner.
The famous “Slave Leia outfit” from Return of the Jedi was as uncomfortable as it was revealing. Parts of it were made of rigid metal, making it nearly impossible to move or sit normally. Every time Carrie leaned back, the costume would shift and expose more than intended, so the crew had to constantly fix it between takes.

Over time, the outfit—originally meant to sexualize the character—became an iconic (and very controversial) symbol of the saga. Carrie despised it, but with her signature biting humor, she took ownership of it and made sure everyone knew Leia was more than just a pretty face chained to a giant slug.



When Disney bought Lucasfilm, they began "cleaning up" the franchise’s image—and the golden bikini was one of the first things to go. For years, it had been a pop culture symbol (and a recurring fan fantasy), but Disney’s new direction wasn’t having it. In 2015, they stopped producing official figures, posters, and merch featuring the outfit, and many online stores pulled it from their shelves. The official line? They didn’t want to sexualize such an important female character… even though they’d been selling exactly that for decades.

The Slave Leia look even made it to Friends. In one of the show’s most iconic scenes, Ross tells Rachel that his biggest fantasy is seeing her dressed like Princess Leia—with the infamous bikini, of course. What starts as a punchline ends up confirming that the look had officially reached pop culture status, right up there with the most recognizable Halloween costumes.

DESSERTS VOL7

Today, desserts may be a delightful treat, but their origins have a surprisingly practical explanation. In ancient times, most meals were heavily salted or spiced to help preserve food. Ending with something sweet became the perfect way to cleanse the palate and leave a pleasant aftertaste. And that's how the tradition of finishing meals with a sweet touch began—a delicious habit we're glad we've kept alive.

There are many desserts out there, but at ALRNCN we've picked what we believe is the very best.
