Friends superstar Matthew Perry is no stranger to real estate deals and over the last ten years, in addition to acting, writing and producing, has been buying, restyling and reselling some fabulous California homes. The most recent that has come to market is this glamorous 40th-floor penthouse in the celebrity-approved, paparazzi-proof 42-story Century condominium. Perry purchased the penthouse, which covers the entire 40th floor of the building, right after selling another stunning home in L.A.’s Hollywood Hills Bird Streets in 2017.

It’s only February… and it’s all too much too soon! Need to escape to get back on track or is the enforced atmosphere of romance stifling you? Whatever the reasons for seeking seclusion, don’t be stymied by cocked eyebrows at the mention of a plan.
Sometimes, the need to retreat into solitude gnaws at the core of our very being. Solitude is not simply the absence of people; it’s also silence or at the very least, quiet uninterrupted space punctuated by the absence of technological dings or earnest mutterings.
An interesting juxtaposition forms in my mind as I rise before dawn to head off into the darkness in order to explore a little-known place on the globe. I’m embarking on a trip to a site called World’s End – whereas in reality, as I survey my surroundings, it seems as though I’ve travelled back in time to a place where the world is only just beginning.
As our minibus climbs up to Horton Plains, the early-morning hour mist covers the hills around us like a soft white blanket that’s protecting the sleeping wildlife. The silence and stillness of this moment creates a sensation of complete solitude as if we are the only people alive and about to witness the creation of a new dawn. It’s a feeling that can only be captured in such a place, which brings its visitors literally to the ends of Earth.

She’s known as the ‘Podcast Witch!’ For a 39-year-old, that’s a strange title to carry; but Agathe Fohler revels in her psychic abilities, which have been inherent from birth. As ‘Aurena, Queen of the Fairies,’ she touches people’s hearts with her healing… but life has not always been about light and love for her.
Born to a Sri Lankan mother (who is hearing and speech-impaired) and German father (who was partially hearing-impaired), Agathe grew up surrounded by the pic-turesque mountains of Bavaria. Her siblings and she were cared for by a foster family who immersed themselves in Deepak Chopra’s books, the science of the un-known, yoga and meditation.

Too often, artists are pressured into finding their ‘voice’ and sticking to it. The pressure generally comes from society’s generic and somewhat binary understanding of identity. For instance, females need to dress and behave in a certain way in order to be identified as feminine.
The uniformity and consistency of these expectations across all females is necessary in order to maintain society’s compartmentalized under-standing of who a female ought to be. Similarly, artist identities are also compartmentalised. For example, Pablo Picasso is known for cubism, Georgia O’Keeffe for her zoomed in paintings of flowers and Tim Burton for his lanky Gothic characters. They each have a signature style, which fuels and compartmentalizes their identities as artists.
