DIY - Let It Grow

If you are too impatient, like me, to wait for plants growing big... paint them! I found these wall paintings on a trip, and stole the wisteria-idea for my own balcony.
It's just the matter of some acrylic paint, and then go for it.

Here you see my beautifully blossoming wisteria

The Teaserettes

My favourite German burlesque group: The Teaserettes. A super-sweet and fun bunch of ladies from Berlin. They will be in Hamburg at Queen Calavera by the end of June. It will be a funny, dirty, trashy, sexy.... just wonderful party. Don't miss them!

Glorious Bastards - Kruger and Tarantino

I am so looking forward to see Quentin Tarantino's latest film "Inglorious Bastards".

Here is a wonderful film-noir-like photo shooting with him and Diane Kruger for New York Magazine, by Jean Baptiste Mondino.

Don't judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes!

Nadya Lev - Alternative Beauty

Nadya Lev is a photographer, and one of the founders of Coilhouse Magazine, an amazing, fierce outburst of alternative beauty and subcultural inspiration.

Surrounded by fetish and glamour, latex, steampunk and Mother of London's leather-couture, Nadya Lev always finds the balance between elegance and humor, beauty and evil freakiness.

(Wow ...and I love, love, love the hair-colour of this model!!!)

Nina Hagen For Agent Provocateur - Kinky Melody

Nina Hagen singing for a band called "The Dirty Stop Out", founded by Agent Provocateur's Joe Corr. Aye sir, me love it!!!

Pirates and Bandits, debauchery and gluttony, sensual, kinky, sexy: Agent Provocateur did a great coup de main. Get your rum and toast for Kinky Melody!

Summertime

Yay... summer is coming! I love this video, it's filled with so much joy, excitement and exuberance. Dance through the woods with Sigur Ros and sing Gobbledigook!

DIY: Shirt With Fringe

Germany is slowly exploring DIY. And I was happy to find this blog: "the fashion diary" by Anna Frost. This week she is organizing a blog-carnival about DIY, connecting German blogs via their DIY-projects. You will find a lot of funny, exciting stuff here.

Here is a little DIY-project of mine: a fringe-shirt.

1. Take an old huge t-shirt, cut the top under the arm-holes and the seam.

2. Squash some acrylic-paint over the square.

3. Cut the square into stripes (rings) of about 1,5 cm 4. Attach some of the stripes to the neckline of an other shirt, in front and back. Cut their ends into a nice shape.5. Take a bunch of stripe-rings. You can cover the side-seams by wrapping a stripe around them.6. Then I attached the "necklace" with the wrappings to the shoulders of the other shirt.
