#OUTSET ISLAND SHIRT TV#
What was real, and what was video game? Sitting there in my lame t-shirt, I plunged in and out of observation and memory-concert hall and living room, projector and TV screen-reliving my favorite game sequences in concert with the multimedia phantasmagory. It was mesmerizing.Ī snapshot of The Symphony of the Goddesses.

The former L'Oréal Paris ambassador is stepping back from endorsements and immersing herself in the business of beauty with her unique point of view in the space. This month, Johansson adds another title to her roster: founder of The Outset, a line of clean and effective skincare products. She’s a two-time Oscar-nominated actress, a Marvel superhero, a Tony and BAFTA winner, and (most importantly) a mother of two.
